MAVIS 0o2.,HeszS.-Yesterde.y an Italian,nameaDB artploZnCo fa- izzo,and his wife, ormistre2ss, Carolina Lavizzo, wcre brought before the-LoRD Al AYOn, chargedwithlhaving for,red the names of .Messrq. -Smith, Payne, and Smith, the bankers, to a parchmecnt, for the pur- ose of obtaining charity Mr. Nlanning, the Bank Director, an l several other men of coamercial eminence, attended- the exanlina. tion, the prisosers being suspected of having extensively impssed upon the public, by counterfeiting the recommnendatory signatures of some of the first people. Alr. Samuel Cotton, of Basinghall-street, stated, that on Tues. day, the female prisoner (who is under 20 yeaisof age, and a p)erson .of sowe attractions) called at his house, and presented the following petition, neatly written on parchm-ent :-_ Gentlensei,.-Me take the liberty most particularly to recom- mend to you Mlr. Lavizzo, and his familr, late banker and mer- cbant at Paris, who, since the month of October last, has had the mrisfortune to lone ail the propierty he posessed, in expeditions that he made to the Indies, and which have unfortunately failed. The intention of -Mr. Lavlzzo, if he is able to raise sufficient mneans, is to repair with his family to Rio de Janeiro, where he has a brother, who has resided there for 16 years, anid all his difficulties would immediately cease, could he once have the happiness to reach that p lace. In this deplorable situation, and having been reduced to the greatest distress, as weU as all his family, these unfortunates addrems themselvex with confidence to the bankers and merchants, as well as allpersonsof consequence to whom this rhall be communicated. Gentle en, if any wish to make an ofrering on the altar of (od, who relieves all iunnerited affliction, they dare hope that they will not be ingensible to the misfortunric of a family otherwise, by their virttes, rendered to truly worthy of commiseratioin and relief. We are, with the highest consideration, Gentlemen, "Your most hamble and obedient servants, "tlttTU, PAYNE, AND SM'ITetH" The signature was in the writing of some extremely illiterate per- 0a1rr, and no Daniel was nece,sary to detect the impo3ition. Ir. Cotton in the conviction that he had to deal with an imnostor, quei. .forred Lit petitioner, and ascertained that sonmebody wavi waitine for her outiside. IIe detained her, placedher in the custodyofan officcr, and went to the house of Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith, from whom he leamred what he had so firmly expected-tbat the sig-Aature wasAbfrery, and the petitioner and his family were strangera to llrt ,rorrester,. the officer, was ordered to take MIr. ILavizzo into dA,O;,,y, and as the Italian had hired a servant to assist in the plan for aising the w,jnd, the latter was likewise required to be appre- lhended Lr. Cotton said he was convinced that some other person .7as in the back groundi. In fact, he believed that Lavizzo a.d his -wife were the dupes of inlividuals who werecommitting very exten- sive frauds by working upon the charitable feelings of the public. Innumerable applications of this kind were daily made to him by persons vwbo were evidently associated together for the puirpsce of levying contrlbutions upon the public; and he considered it probable that if the writer of the petition could begot at, a very high scere of immature would be exhibited to the view of the town. John Forresler, jut., found Lavizzo and hiiservant Pietro Massi, im ahouse near Holborn, amongst a number of Italiass minstrels and beggars of all descriptions in the musical line-very extraordinary company for a Parisian banker. The banker started at the appear- anco of the officer. Indeed, his astonishment was sich, tbat lie for- got every word of English with which he had been before acqnaint- ad, and of couTsedid not eomrit himself by letting fall a word that wagqn:efllgible to the officer. Before they werebrought into the presence oftlietLonD AlAyot, Pietro Massi pretended to be very eommunieative respecting the ptrisoners, and said that he had accompanied his mistress to more than 20 houses of persons of wealth and distinction. No further, however, would he state. e did not know her object, lIte aid, in maning those vi-its. He had otly to wait uyon her and his sasler, and it waS not his business to inquire whatls rs. Iavizzo was doing at the houses at which she celled. It was his practice to walk up and dovwn outside the houses slie honoured with her visits. pietro in answer to aoqxe questions as to his habits oflife betbre he Was exaltea to the service tif the banker, snijI he used to play a little on the barrel organ; and Forrester judged that this was highest-re. commendation to the banker and his wife as lie waa one of the nmost likely persons to know to what Foint to direct a petitioner in conse- cuenFeof thaaervices rendered to himself in that character. When Tav]Fzo vas first questioned, he said that the lady 'was his slster, but afterwards Jle said she was his wife.

GuILDIIALL.-.J-1enry Syring, a decent-looking lad, about 16 tears of age, was brougyht into the office yesterday, before the sitting magistrate, Mlr. Alderman NVAITHMA-:, by Smith, a constable 6f Cheap Ward,.- whosaid he hiad been senit for that morning to take chairge of the prisoner, for stealing a dozen of' stockings from Mtr. Kipling's, the hosiler, No. 47, Cheapsitie. The genieral-postman of that district saw the prisoner sake the stockings, and give them to a man who was with him, whio ran off, and escapeA. The boy, how. ever, was pursued and taiken. Thiey haa not been. able to procure thte attendance of the postman), but if his wvorship wvould rema-nd the bo,they wvould be sure and get him there to-morrow. Mr. Alderman NVAMIM 5SAN.-I must know something uso-e about this first. WIhere wvere the stockings taken fromn? * Jamnes B3rassington, Mvr. Kipling's shopman, said he hadl put the stockings out only ten minutes before he m-issed them. They were a dozen of Angola.s, and worthi 22s. dIr. Alderman WVAs'THaANA.-What do you mnean by "1out?'

It is really holding ou rmu o obery. You place a temptation in the way ofisrsepeon,at I verily believe it is the faci- lity alone thatindue thssr arbery. Why., I will venturye to sav, Sir, that there are a thouisand theves passing up and dlown Cheapside everv (lay of your life,anyoplc property within thi rah, witheut even fastening t,adhtin so public antI crowded a situationi. I wish heartily thtteewstome punish- ment for those whio platce property 4is so ungudd a mannier. Brassington allowedi it was improper; but they mutst show their goods like their ne-ighbours, and the stockings were within thseirown shop. Mlr. Hlerring, the Insnector of the City Po'iet, who happened to be presenit, ssiidl he had spoken to several tradesmen upon this very subject, and fromi all he could learn, they were perfee lv aware of the danger; indeed, he had beenL told that they woull rather run the risk of losing goods occasionally, than not expose thecm in that open manner. Mlr. Alderman WATTHIMAY.-I am afraidi that is the case. I have reprobated this practice when I was at thic lansion-housc, in the hope tiat it mtight go to the public, antI act as a caution,; but it seeras to have produced no effect. The judges themselves have ex- pressed their strong reprobation of this practice from the bcncli, and the Recorder uniformly refused to allow aprosecuxtor isis expenses in suchi cases; and ye-t all steems ineffectual. The mother of the boy said he was an honest hard-working lad, and got his living by selling articles of turnery-ware in the streets. He hmself protested that lie itad never been in confine-,nent. or brought up on any charge any where, in his Iif~ before ; and neither the officer whio attends with the prisoniers from tie Compter, nor any of thie cltv police, recognized his person. .T'he Alderxoqan told the prisoner he was very gorry for hint, hut if he would commit dishenest acts he must take the consequences. Then turning to the shbopman, said, If it shall turn out thiat the boy fs really an honest boy, I shAll feel great difficulty and uinwillinigneiss in committing him, tbr I sihall not be able to tlhink otherwise than toat it was the temptation alone that induced him to commit the robbery, and that lite probably would have never thought of doing suth a thlrig'but for the facility whichi presented itself to him at the momenit for effecting it. The prisoner was thein remanded for further examination this day.

A lad abouit 15, of the name of Carroll, antI a man named C'ox, were brought tip on, suspicion of having sitolen a gold watch-chain in the shop) of Mlr. WVheatley, a watchrraker, at Hammersmnith. At duisk, on Wetdnesdasy evening, the Prisoner Carroll went into Mlr. Wheatley's shop, whiich is son1e distance from his dlwelling. house, and whiere hits sisters were attending the goodst, and asked to look at some gold seals. One of the young girls showed hiim an as- sortment, and after looking at them he walked behimitl the counater and requested that slhe wouild showv him somie gold cliains whichi lie staw in the window. Shet placed four upon atray for his inspection, and ho asked the price of' them. Site then lesired her stister to go for her brother, and as soon as sihe had got outside the tloor for that puirpose, the prisoner said, "1I have not money sufricient to par for a ch1ain, but I am go- ing to a friend's house hard by, sand, wi l get enough ; so hiave the goodness to tell youtr brother not to go away for I hall he back in a few milnutei." In, a mninute after he had leAt the shiop, she missed one of the gold chains, and her8sister, as she was returniing from call- ing Mlr.

Mr. Wheatley sprung into the cart, and Cox at the same moment leapedouxt, but was seized by the constable atsoone distance and searched ; but no chain was; found. Air. Wheatley also searched Carroll, but wasn equally, unsuccessful. Carroll, however, when in- formed that lie was goimig to the watch-houise, said, " If you will let me go, I will give you miy watch, great coat, and ten stnillings, wvhich you may keep, if youir chain, or more than the value of it, is no ort msng to-morrow morning." They swere both secured. The prisoner C~arroll, who was an exceedingly initelligent lad, cross-examined the prosecutor -with great acuteness, with a view to show that he lisdsitmistaken his re'ise words, gad( consequently hiad misinterpreted his nmeaning. fe averred that lie mnerely said he wudleave the thinigs mentioned as a security for his appearance in- the moming; anid that then, sooner than' go to prison, lie would, altlhough innocent, pay even more ttitan the value of this missing chain. . Ie failed, liowever, in establishi,ng thfis point. Cox declaredk he knew nothing about the clhain. Sir R. BXR.azIrE said, ta a ease of strong Circumstantial evidence had been made ouit, and lie should commit the prisoners for trial. The,y were fully committed to Newgate. On 5tonday evening last, , genteelly dressed man passing down St. Alrtin's-lane, somewhat intoxicated, was attacked by a stout woman oF colour, who knocked him down, and as it afterwatds ap. peared, robbed him of a sovereign while pretending to assist hirm in getting up. She, was taken to the watchllouse by some per- sens who saw the transaction, and being asked what money she bad abotit her, she said she had none at all. On search. ing her, however, thev fbaind a sovereign and some silver in her stocking. The gentleman whonma she had knocked down stated that she hag pickedida pocket of a sovere'ign. He went away, leav- ing her in custody, and the constable, after bringing her here, and getting her remandedl, emsdeavoured -to find out- the person robbed, but taied. She was again brought up yesserdayv when Sir R. Bit- xale observed, that such a robbery was too serious a matter to be passed over, and be should remand her till Mlonday next.

Upon earilhg this dreadful fact, the -prisoner did not betray any visible appearance of horror, but attended to the directions of the magistrate, whien the following evidence, ast well as could be collectedl fromr the hasty mranner in which the witnesses gave their evidence, was adduced againstt himi: Jothn Adams, the first witness examined, stated, that hie lives in WValworth-gardens, very near to Bronti-place. About half-past 11 o'clock, the niglht before, Amr. Dewhirst, the wife of the prisoner, c-aine to his house, and knocking at the door, begged for protection, sayin that her husband had threatened to mutrder her, and that he had bae her; she at that time appearedl to be in a dreadfuil state of alarm. After she had mentioned these circutmstanices, shle ran out of the hiouse; witness immediately followed her, but missing her, hie returnedi homne again, anti found Mrst. Dewhiest there, with three of her children, quitenaked. Shte then told himf that she wras afraid to enter hier hiouseL, as she was certain that she should be mur- duired if she attempted It. During the time of this conversqa- tion, a watchman came running into witneik's house, and said that the rascal (meaning the prisoner) was beating one of his chiildlren to death. Upon hearing this, they nil left the houge together, and proceeded towards that of the xrlsoner. After som-e difficulty, thley got into the house, an uponi witness going up stairs into a room on the first floor, he saw a female child, apparently, about a year and a half old, lying dlown com- pletely naked in one cornier, and entirely covered with blood from head to foot. Upon seeing the dreadful state in which the childI was, andi the moZther almost frantic, he (witnesa) ran off for surgeon Swift, wvho Promptly attended, and who, uponi entering the room where thje child was lying, mnet withi much opposiition from the prisoiner, who refusedl to admit him to examine the state in whiich the child was. After considerable altercation between the surgeon and the prisoner, the forme, found it necessary to give him in charge to twro watchmen, who had by this time (the whole neigh- bourhoorl beitig In a desperate xtate of alarmn) got into the house.

Various parts of the rom harfmarks of blood upo:. the floor, and against the wall. The witness added, that his wife nursed one of the prisoner's children. Jamnes AM'Laren, a private watchman, of Bronti-pLice, 'Walworth, stated, that between 11 and 12 o'clock the previouis night, Mrs. Dew.. hirst camie to his watch-box, and requeated hirm t6 go aloing with her to where she lived, remarking that she was fearful some persona had got into the house. He accordingly accompanied her, and went over theI premibnses. At that tirre there were no persons in the house, excepthercildren. She then desired witness to remain as close to her house as he could, observing, that Mir. Dewhirat was nlot c6me home, and that she was frightened to remain there by herself. In about an hour afterwards, IMrs. Dewbirst again camne down to witness's box, and btgged of hiim for God's sake to come up as near to her housie as possible, that hier husband was then at home and that he had threatened to cut her throat. Witness advised her, if she war so much alarmed, to go to one of the neighbours' houses, and remiain there until his passion abated. Slie did so. and witness went with her to Mlr. Adams's housze. Wit- ne ssattedirection ofAMrs. Dewhirst, then proceedletl to her hotuse in. orde,r tcee if there was any light in her husband's room, as by that means she would be enabled to judige whether he waLs gone to bed. He saw no light, and returned again and informed Mirs. Dewhiirst of it, whio accompanied himn back. They knocked at the door several times, and at length one of the windlows up stairs was thrown up, and two or three children put their hearls out, and, dreadfully frighitenedi, called ouit together, "1Oh, mamna, my father is beating and kicking little Carry I. The children then ran down naked Into the street, and their mother hastened with thiem off to Mr. Adams's house. The witnesas then entered the house after having procured a light, and on going up stairs lie sawv the p!,isoiter lyingr down on a bed with his clothes, on ks one of the roomis. WVitness looked about to see if he could observe any child there, hut could not. 'A7hile he was thus engaged, the prisoner startedl up, and asked him whiat he wanted there?P to which the wit- ness replied, that ho wantedtio stee the child whomhe was ill-treating. At this period another watchman, having heard what lhad occurred, "came ustairs, and they proceeded togetier Into a room next to that in whichsthey saw the prisoner. Upon entering it, they observed marks of blob-d all over the place, And inonecorner of it, lying ap. patenitly dead, was an infant, covered with blood. The prisoiner, whio followed themn Into this room, on seeing the lilt of blanket which covered his chiild removed, saidi, that they (mceaning the watchmen) had no right to enter his premiises;, andi when they remarked with whbat barbarity the infant bed been treated, the pristoner observed, "Oh,JI havee alwvays done my duty as a father by that child." I.'homrss String, another watchman, after having described the shocking stae in whichi he saw the chilfd upon going up, stairs, stated, thatt he asked the prisoner how hie could have t-reate -an infant in such a cruel aniuner. He replied, that the bruisesi on the chiild did not proceed from a beating, but from a fall it had down stairs; about a week ago, The witneot?here prodnteed a 'quantity of linen clothes, ,which were covered with blood, some of which, he stated, were usied by the prisoner wvhile he (witness) was in the room, ini wiping up the blood in different parts of it. Hei added, that as soon aN the surgeon arrived, that g-entleman gave the prisoner in charge, and be Ivscneyed off to Newington watebhhouse. r.Sift, the suIo,walhnexmnd e stated, that when he was sen or, which was between two and three o'clocek in the morning, tupon going: up stairs, he saw the prisoner standing in the middle of the, room, who, upon seeing him, used very strong lea.i rage, intimating that he had no business there, and awearing that would turn him out, if he did not leave the premises Immediately.
