Public Office Bow Street Curiously Probes Two Suspects
Two young men calling themselves Thomas George Hawkins and Edward Underwood faced a probing examination at Bow Street on charges of robbing Mrs. M of gold ear rings and various garments. The case details a scheme in which Hawkins claimed noble birth and wealth, pressured her to hand over rings, furniture, and funds, and involved deceit about securities and a bill of sale. Both suspects showed indifference as they were remanded to separate prisons for further inquiry, with similar prior frauds noted.
