Pritchard and 'Pearson, warehousemen, K ing-st ref, cheapsi.le. Mr. Pritchard elated, that the Poisoner had b►en two years employed in the firm, and the greatest confidence was placed in him. From the extensiveness of their trade it was almost impossible to detect any depredations upon their property, except by mere arcultut, mid :he Prisoner Wlllllll/ never have been suspected had he not ►uddenly absconded on Monday se'nnight. Sospiei 4444 being Mils excited, the stock was strictly examined, and it was thought that a large . quantity of valuable stuffs were missing, and several pieces, ou making impiry, were discovered to have beea pledged at different pawnbrokers by • man resembling the Prisoner. fly strict inquiry the route of the Prisoner was also ascer tained, and the ♦liners, accompanied by Hawkins the Afarshalman, succeeded in tracing biro to Alton, in Hemp. shire, where be was apprehended. Hawkins, on searching him, foetid a waggumuflice receipt fur three large boxes which had been dispatched to Birmingham, and electrum' keys which he acknowledged to belong to the boxes— The officer then proceeded to Birdsingham, where he found the boxes, which were filled with staffs. These were immedi ately identified by Mr. Pritchard as the property of the firm, from their being of a peenliar putters •ud manufacture, and the Prisoner was brought to Loudon. lie was accompanied by a geatuel young female when he was taken into custody. The evict amount of the property of which be had pluodered the firm could nut be ascertained, but it was more than 3011 f. Mr. Ilyam, of Riehopvirate.street, Mr. Reeves, of Redeems street, Mr. Fleming, of Nrwtl'ate•stredt, Mr. Fleming, of Heel market, Mr. Russel, of Fore-street, and several other pawnbrokers produced whole pieces of stuff, which he.' been pledged at their shops by the Prisoner. The whole of these were identified by the Proseentnes Mr. Hammen, who attenslid for the prosecution, com plained that three other pawnbrokers, to whom he bad twice given 'mike to sliced with property pledged by the Prisoner, ha.l neglected to come forward. The Loan Mallon commented upon this barkwarliess with considerable severity, arid at the same time übse►ved, that the parruhroliers were match too ready to take in what was called a " good pawn." They ought to interrogate, in the etrictest menace, any person bringing property of the description ituw produced, but, there did not appear to have been the slightest question tint to the voting man at the bar; and he could nut help Ihtnkiag, that the frequency of crimes of this sort was maiuly attributable to the facility with which stolen property could be disposed of. The Prisoner was fully committed fur trial. ; • AN INSANE ROBBER. Yesterday • female elegantly dressed, whose fare was co vered with • veil, was observed by one of the clerks of this Office, as ahe was leaving the place, with • law hook, " Dickenson's Justice," which she had stolen from the Ma. gistrate's desk; he immediately stopped her, and asked her what she was going to du with the book' she said, ' 6 What book'" he replied, " That which you have under your pe lisse." She persisted that she had nut got :toy thing belong ing to the office. The clerk brought her before the Sitting Magistrate (T. EvaNca, Erg ) and informed him of the transaction. She still ',misted that she had not gut the book under her clothes, and force was obliged to be resorted to to take it from her person. She was placed at the bar and charged with stealing the book, the property of his Majesty. Magistrate—" Pray who are you, Madam?" Prisoner- 6, I don't choose to say who I am ; this you may know, I ata au injured woman, have lost my character, and wish to leave the country." Magistrate—" What was your object in taking the book ?" Prisoner—" I took it because I thought you would com mit me to trial for stealing it, and then I should be sent out of the kingdom." Magionie.—o Why du you went to leave the country ?" Prisoner- 4, 1 don't choose to say; commit me if you like; I took the hook." Alsgistrate-1 0 I am afraid the Prisoner is insane." Primacr- 0 I am snot insane, nor have you any reason to think so, I ant sacker is my intelleet as you are; I stole the book, and had my reason fur so doing. I know it is the King's property, and you always commit fur rubbiug the /time. If you du not send me to trial I will comeaud rob you again to-enorrurr." Magistrate—" The Prisoner is evidently insane ; let her be discharged." The Prisoner, as abe left the office, said, " I'll visit you again to-morrow." SWINDLING. Yesterday M.
