Two Mors, of Mile years, Evans and Armstrong, who were too small 141 look over the dock, were tried at the same sessions for having stolen and driven away an ass and cart. The prosecutor was a coster monger, who left his cart at the entrance to Covent garden Market, one morning, with some fruit and vegetables in it, while he went through the mark e t t o complete his purchases. On returning he found donkey, earl, and contents all gone. lii the evening the prisoners were seen driving the cart iu the New road, but had sold all that it contained. During the trial it came out that the prisoners, young as they were, were old offenders. Not long before they, or one of them, had driven away a cart with coals from the King's-cross station, while the owner's back was turned, afterwards selling the coals and abandon ing the cart, which was a dangerous and unsaleable commislity under the circumstances.

Ilickson, the sexton, going into the ehulrh to light the gas tier evening service, noticed the fact, and made a search rAititl the etlifice. He found a young man named Henry Field crouched down in a dark corner. When questioned he pre tended to have fallen asleep there during the after noon sermon. Nevertheless he was given into custody.
