Ballade; however, la• gave ls. Tholr deism cum to
the knowledge of Sept. Viskery, aed he mad P.C.
ireardord in marsh of them. They were overtakes by
the constable at Oblekerell, sad *barged with oblAialog
mosey by false preteens. This they denied, sad said
Mu could not stop, arid should ego ea their way.
Baludord island the young man, who said to the other
"Don't you stop, father, go on 1" But assistance was
obtain, d. and both were handcuffed, sad brught to
Weymouth loaqtp. The elder primmer was seen to
tear up and throw away something, when shoat to be
apprehended. This was wabeequatiy recovered, and,
when properly pet together, proved to be the bevies
petition. When charged by the Superintendent, the
eider man said the petition was • diition of hi.;
they were wafering men, and herd up, and invented
this lie in order to get money. He never had a
maul, and ousequently Gould never loot one.
On Friday they were brought before Captain Promo
and W. Talbot, Esq., when the foregoing facts were
deposed to. Sept. Vickery said that the prisonen had
stopped at several public-losses, sad at • brothel in
High-etresd. He had had 11 suss brought to hie
knowledge, tram obtaining is. down to la., Ned had
selected three out of the number. They had rspre.eit,d
themselves to tot Frlallidells, and had • book in their
po.eseion, with the name' of the different lodges.—
* elder prisoner pleaded guilty to the charge, and
threw himself upon the matey of the wart. H. was
2,500 miles from home, and destitute, or be should
not have done it. The younger prisoner said he only
asked for money as • Freemason, and considered that
no harm—The Superintendent farther stated that on
Wedusley evening Hz. Fooks's son had been soluited
by the prisoner's for eoetributions, and as they were
talking to him one of them passed his hand down his
waistcoat and said "He that teeth to the poor lendeth
to the Lord." Young Mr. Fooks afterwards missed
his watch, sad prisoners were arrested and searched;
but it could not be found, and u r. Pooh. could not
swear when he had lost it, they were discharged. —lt
was stated that prisons.. come Irene Nova Scotia.
The Bench said they did not believe they were ,
father and son, but believed they were of different
countries. At ell events they had ineoseded in getting ,
money by false pretences. The elder prison* certainly
oneht to be thoroughly ashamed of himself, as he mast
have known how to get mosey if in need. Tbe other
perhaps, not being • native of Beaked, might not
know the law on the subject so well.—They were len.
Waned to three calendar months' hard labour—The
younger prisoner asked for his poelret-book, but the
Supenatendent said that had been an instrument of his
fraud epos people, and be should have everything else
but that. —lt appears that 'Reny pockets have been
picked in the town, and at a meeting only a few days
ago, a lady lost 1:8 in this way. knottier lady at the
railway station lost El, only while taking out her purse
to buy • ticket for Dorchester. As the precious wore
being walked from Dorchester Great Wesiern Station
to the gaol, the younger one menaced to slip out of
the handcuff by which be warn joined to "his father,"
and bolted up the rood skirting to. West Walks. The
coustable went in pursuit, and quickly overtook the
fugitive, and, for his camps*, the young man had the
pleasure of making dome aoquaintancte with the thorny
hedge, into which the otScer threw him. He warn again
meowed, and taken in safety to Dorchester castle.
