MiANStON-1O5JSE~.A. Jew tiiaied Levy war, brought before the Lottr MAyeu., tharged by another Jew, namned Wolfson, with havinz robbed hfim of various articles, which she prisoner was en. trustedI to dispose of in the country. The prosecutor stated, thaton thie 30th, of Nqovember last, the pri- soner applied to him to be employedl as a traveller, anti was em- ployed in thiat capacity. WVitness, after having tried him on a few occasions in telling articles of various kinds, stocked him woll and sent himn inito the country. After sonice conisidterable absence, lie re- tuirnedl to towvn withi a pair of black eyes, and without eithecr goods or mi-oney. The prosecutor, the momentheti saw himn, suspected that t)e black eyes were thieforeruniners of somievile trick. Tie prisoner sail, thiat asbe wasjourncying initherneighbourhood of Chelmsford, he wast knocked dlown by robbers, whostripped him of his goods and left bins without at penny. To prove this tact, he prodiuced a hand- bill to that effect, whic had been issued bv the MAlgistrates~ of Es- sex, tu whom he had stated Iiis mnisfiartune, and who, witis great xreat humanity, befriendled hiim. The prosecutor theni acerqained, that when the&prisoner mentioned tihe circumstatices of the robbery so the MA-gistrates, lie actedi the part of a robbed mnan tu sunch Perfectiot thsat a subscription was entered upon, and the suam of 301. wvus collected to set up the poor Jew once mnore. Before the prsoner could get possessioni of the money, isowever, it wss necessary forhim to come to towli, which lie did, aflter hiaving paidi a visit to ithe owner of a public-house in tile neighboutrheod, in whiose care he had left sonile property. Upon inquiry, it was learned that the property whiici liad beeni intrusted to the publican was r,o otlier than tile pro. secutor's goods, which thie prisonter intendled to turn to Ihis own. ad. vr,,1atitae, cas! scott as he sliouild becomne posKessed of the amount of tesucrption, andi which bie requested migiht be kept saf'ely for himr utitil lie should figishi somne business lie had to ntensd to at C'helnsford. The prosecutor had also had reason to believe that lie liad beaten hiis liead againist a post to disfigure himself in such a manner as to throw credit tipon his story. The prisoner declared that lie positively hiad been robbed by foot- pad s in rite road, who beat himr desperately. He saidl lie certainly liad left a ebundile of goods; at a piblie-hol'se, but then that bundile was the property- of another person whio lhad employed himi as a tra- veller, and not of the prosecutor. The LoRn MAAyoit askedi himn the namne ofiiis niew employer ? The prisoner could noct recollect, but he was quite sure thart the property at the public-house was not the prosecutor's. The prosecutor said lie hadl leatrned thatt the prisoner liad actually madle a present to the landlaidy of the making of a gown, for thec rarec slie was taking ot' the gsootls, anti that the gown was matle of Part of a ptece OF nmuslin which wvas amongst tile articles int:usted to htim by binA employer. The Prisoner saidI tile gown could not be of that piece, as it was not lik ely thiat the thiieves who robbed bins wouldl go to the public-hiouse at whichi lie liael set up. The Ijloeecutor obbserVed, thalt thie prisoner's l icence, and the cloth in whichl the goods bail been depositeti ,were fouind uponi Iint, and that if thie robbery hiad beeni commnitted, those mnust have disappeared with the rest. fie thloughit, lie Said, as miuch of the abominable attempt to deceive the hiumane people of'Chelnmsford, as of the robbery. Tueli Lortd MAYo i said, tint if thae statement of the prosecuxtor was correct, thiere could not be a more enormous achetee of deceptionl. Priaoner.-.I never robbed him. Prosecutor--" Whrly, theni, have you not gone to Citelmsford for your 301. It ,hies there for you ? No, nio, you know the whiole a-fFair is known) there, a'nd that you will never get a -penny of, tl.' Tute LoRan MAYOR *sent the prisoner to Cheboaford in the ctiss- tOihy of an officer. Three persontie appliedl to the LotnD M1AYort to grant them an order of admission to a honuse in Fleet-street, where, they said, the wife of a~ gentleman was in daniger of starving. The LoRD Al.&YOVR wasnot a little surprised at the novelty of the application, and desired to Ruinoi the particulars. TFite applicants said, that an exectition hiad been put into the house fo!r a quarter's rent, atdtil iitt the tetnant itad b!een obligedt to absent himself oni account of some pecuniary emilarrassments-leaving, howecver, his wife iupon the premises. The furniture had been Sold, and thec landlord was deterniined to have the lhotise, and bad prohi. tedI any personi fronti bringing, provisions to the wife of thte tentant. Under these circumstances, ttile poor woman muist, if' his Lordship would not give hlis aid, lie undouibtedly starved to dleathi for all attemipts to introdluce a miorsel of bread to iicr had proved ana- v'ailing. The Louni MAIYOR Said, lie believed, that althotight the landliord :itighit not allow Provisions to he taken to the ladv. lie would have no objectiomi tole', thec ladiy go to the provisiotns.
