CHARGE OF OBTAINING MONEY UNDER FALSE PRETENCES. Samuel CAVE was brought up for further examination on a charge preferred by Mr. George SAUL, a most respectable solicitor, for obtaining 30L. from him fraudulently. Mr. SAUL stated that a messenger came to him on the 6th day of March last, with an intimation that a gentleman had just been taken suddenly ill at the King's Arms-inn, in this city, and wished him to make his will. Examinant went thither, and was introduced to the prisoner, Charles Samuel CAVE, who stated to examinant that he was subject to pains about the heart, and that he might be carried off at any moment; that as he, the prisoner, was possessed of a good deal of property, and had a numerous connexion of relatives, he wished to dispose of it amongst them, and desired that examinant would take instructions for his will, which was done accordingly. MINUTES OF THE WILL. - "Charles Samuel CAVE, late of Chichester, in the county of Sussex, gentleman. Trustees, James RIFFIN, of Chichester, merchant, and James FARNELL, of same place, builder.

I request that Thorney, in Cambridgeshire, may be the place of my burial." [Signed, sealed, &c., in the presence of three witnesses.] "C. SAMUEL CAVE." Prisoner called on examinant some days afterwards, and stated that an application had been made to Mr. NORMAN, the solicitor, on behalf of a client of his, to borrow 2,000L. on mortgage, and he described the property on which the money was to be secured, and requested examinant to accompany him to look at it, and to give him his advice as to the security. Examinant looked at the property in question, and considered it of ample value. Prisoner then left examinant, and said he would go to Mr. NORMAN. Prisoner called on examinant a day or two afterwards to say that Mr. NORMAN and he had agreed - that the interest was to be 4 and a half per cent., and that the property, being dwelling-houses, was to be insured from fire. Prisoner at the same time gave examinant instructions to write to a Mr. PECKOVER, banker, of Wisbeach, who he represented to be a trustee under his father's will, and in whose name he stated that the 6,000L. stock was standing; and requested examinant to Mr. PECKOVER instructions to sell out 2,000L. worth of stock for the purpose of laying it on mortgage. Same day the prisoner called again on examinant, and informed him that he had been looking at a property at Newtown, which he had some idea of purchasing; but as he was not a competent judge of its value, he wished examinant to recommend some person to him to examine the property, and to give him an opinion of its value. Examinant then wrote a note to Mr. GATE for that purpose, and which he delivered to prisoner. Examinant saw the prisoner in the evening, when he intimated that he and some friends had been looking at the Newtown property, and that the price asked was 2,500L.; that he had bid 1,350L., but that the person who was authorised to treat for its sale could not take upon himself to accept that some without first writing to the proprietor, who lived at Appleby, for his approbation. Prisoner said that he expected an answer in two or three days, and desired that examinant would, in the mean time, defer writing to Mr. PECKOVER to sell out the stock. Prisoner called again on the day following, and said that there was a very nice young lady staying at the King's Arms inn, and that he had agreed to marry her. Prisoner then requested that examinant would lend him 20L. to defray the necessary expenses attending his marriage, and intimated that he understood the parson's fee at Gretna was considerable, and that his own money would not arrive before the end of the following week. Prisoner said that he intended to make a very handsome settlement of real property, which he had in Sussex, on his wife, and promised to call on examinant afterwards and give him particular instructions as to the settlement. Prisoner called again on examinant on the 23d of March, and stated that an answer had been received from the proprietor of the property at Newtown, but as the price was fixed at 2,000 guineas he declined the purchase, as he considered that sum above its value. Prisoner then gave examinant instructions to write immediately to Mr. PECKOVER, desiring him to send the money that he, the prisoner, had agreed to lend on mortgage, and said that the sum might as well be made 3,000L., for that in consequence of his marriage he would have a good deal of money to lay out in the purchase of furniture, &c. Examinant wrote to Mr. PECKOVER in pursuance of instructions. On the night before his marriage in Carlisle, prisoner wrote to examinant to borrow 30L. in addition to the 20L. which he had got before, but to which no answer was returned. Prisoner called personally on examinant the following morning, and renewed his application for a further loan of 30L., alleging that having been re-married in Carlisle, and having many things to purchase, he had been put to great expense. Examinant informed him, that it was not convenient to advance more money; but, after urgent entreaty, he let him have 10L. more, on the assurance that it would not be long until the money arrived from Mr. PECKOVER. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This article to continue.....
