THIRD COURT.
(Before the Boom= Berjeack)

Charles Cloile,l7, labourer. John Yates, i 7, sheer:Wow,
and George Clements, 10, stationer, were indicted, Close for
stealing several pairs of boots belonging to Lambert Lyon,
his =eater, and the other two prisoners with feloniously re-
ceiving the same.
The prisoners Yates and Clemente were she indicted upon
three other indictments for receiving stoles minera
Mr. Orridge prosecuted ; 1...1 Gent defended is ;
Mr. Williams and Mr. Langford defended Yates.
The prisoner Clare pleaded guilty, and the charges
wain' Yates and Clements were then gone into.
It will be unneomeary to do more than recall attention to
the circumstances giving rihe to the prceeention, they being
a partial repetition of the evidence geese at the November
liwhen s, a man named Budd and others, together
with rife of the prisoner Yates, who was then acquitted,
were triad for a series of robberies is the suburbs of the
metropolis during the day-time, when the parties made
their escape in a hired cart which had been obtained in the
same of Yates. At the time of the mrcreheesion of those
parties Yates had absconded, and it was now clearly shown
that he sad Clemente, the latter of whom resided in Mary
Ann •terrace, Bethnal-green, were in the possession of a
greater portion of the property the result of throe robberies
within • short time after they had been committed.
The evidence was exceedingly conclusive, and both the
primoers were found Guilty, a portion of the jury wishing
to recommend Clements to mercy.
The police, in answer to the court, said that Yates had
been the constant associate of thieves for the last five yeses,
and • more dangerous man did sot exist. With regard to
the prisoner Close, who bad pleaded guilty, he (gates) bad
not only instigated him to rob his employer, with whom he
we, io service as au errand boy, but bad sent wore to mr.
Lyen's premises to receive the stolen property from him.
The Maimoo Bedew:it, in passing senteses, said that
Yates was an eaceedingly dangerous character. His career
had bees one of continued crime, and he should thenifere
*interne him to tee yews' penal servitude. With word to
Clements, be could sot take the divided opinion if the
