STIALIIIO HOGABBADB TROY A TAVIRN.
George (Joystrr, a labouring man, was charged with
=two brandy hogsheads, the property of Mr. Mao%
victualler, Strand.
The foreman to the prosecutor, who keeps the
well-known tavern and woe stores, more usually de-
signated "Short's," deposed that on Satuida
the prwooer
was engaged io assisting a man named Groom, in the
service of Mr. Coleman, a carman, in removing
some wine and brandy from the docks to Mr.
Mamie cellar. The casks or bopheads of brandy
as they were taken from the cart were emptied into the
sleek, and the casks, which were Mr. Mace's property,
ought to have been left on the footway. After the men
had gone away with the cart two of the casks were mimed.
They were subsequently traced by the police.
John Tim* foreman to ammo. Capel and Co., coopers,
of Seething-lane, stated that on Saturday aftsrnooo the
prisoner and another man named Groom offered the
two hogsheads to him for sale, asking 15s. for them.
He declined to give more than 131., which they
ultimately agreed to take. The prisoner and his corn-
meal= took an equal share in the bargaining, but Groom
took the money, and gave a receipt for it.
Mr. eyrie asked why be was not brought here.
The poldce-constabla who bad thlysheree (Andrew, 38 H)

repliedibat be had as yet been linable to tries him.
The prisoner— He does not want much tracing. He is •
respectable man, well known, and always to be found at
his hairiness. There was no intention of doing anything
dishonest. I went into the house to have a glees, which
is usually given to us, and when I came beck I found the
casks in the cart. As Mr. Mace sometimes sells his empties,
I thought Groom had bought them. If I wanted to steal
might as well have taken the casks full as empty.
He was remanded, to await the apprehension of Groom,
Mr. Corrie observing that he would take bail if the prisoner
could find one surety in 54

John Knight, described as • picture-frame maker was
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing • bundle of
clean linen from a little boy named Thomas Farocutt.
It appears that the little fellow was carrying a bundle
near the Middlesex Hospital on Saturday night, and in
consequence of haring been robbed of a bundle iu Sep
tember but, his father walked • short dietetics, from him.
The prisoner, who was recognised by the boy as the same
man who stole the bundle in September, then spoke to the
boy, upon which the father stepped forward and asked what
he wanted? He replied that he merely wanted to know
the time, and walked away. Upon the father speaking to a
constable the prisoner started off, but was caught and taken
into custody.
Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said he felt certain that • hundred
cases would be preferred against the prisoner if he was re-
manded, as there had been an immense number of com-
plainta of children being robbed of bundles of linen. He
believed the prisoner had been convicted.
The prisoners remanded, Mr. Tyrwhitt expressing a
hope that the against the prisoner would be looked up.
