Mr. Lewis— First saw the prisoners at bottom of
queen-street. I was alone at the time. 1 was about six
,ereo yards from the prisoners sod the other two. The
4°
hasketa the men had were like those produced. There could
b° mistake about it. After coming out of No. 10, the

whole of the prisoners went into No. 9. The doors of the

Sergeant Walter ROLM*, 3 F, said—From information
I received from Savant Ackrill, I went to No. 10, Queen-
street. Donovan mid 1 should not go in. I afterward'
went to No. 9, and having wrenched off the padlock from
the cellar door and entered, I found, the baskets produced,
containing a quantity of plated goods. I then sent Ackrill
and Sergeant Ibis, 25 C, to No. 10, to take the pn• acs into
custody, and afterwards searched the cellar of No. 10, where
I found a knife rest, a crowbar, and a " jemmy" behind •
board.

Sergeant Cole, Zi C, said—About 9 last night I maw
two of the pri,oners, Osborne and Burns, near Crowe-
street, Soho. and knowing them. I watched them, and saw
Osborne and another man go into a "leaving shop," and
then with Sergeants Holmes and Ackrill I went to No. 10,
Queen-street, where I saw Osborne outside. Havin told
some constables in uniform to take charge of Osborne,
we went into No. 10, where Donovan and Burns
were at upper. I told them we must take
them into custody, when Burns said he would not
go till he had finished his supper, and that, with an oath
wo were on the wrong scent this time. On telliug
Donovan that he had a quantity of metal goods in baskets
in the house, he said, "By I have not, and you can
search the place, and the a thing will you find." I
then said, if the things were not in that house they were in
No. 9, and we then took the two prisoners Donovan and
Burns into custody, and searched the next house, and there
found the goods in the cellar.
Mr. George Adam, of 87, Oxford-street, said—Yesterday
morning I wu informed by my servant that the place had
been broken open, and that several cases had been rifled
of their contents. The property produced belongs to me.
Sergeant Lambert, 12 E, said—l went to the prosecutor.
yesterday morning. and found the place had been broken
open, and some articles were shown me, including • knife
which had been left behind by the burglars. I found
marks on one of the glass case' corresponding with the
knife. I also found that a small grating in Market-street
had been forced and by this means persons had got into the
warehouse. There were mark' as if the grating had been
recently opened.
Mr. Adam—Aß the goods ware oaf e at 10 o'clock the pre-
vious night.
Mr. Knox—l shall grant a remand.
Mr. Lewis—Will you take bail for Donovan, sir
Mr. Knox—l shall most distinctly refuse bail for any of
the prisoner.
Burns, whose real names said to be Burke, is a most
notorious burglar, and has been transported for burglary,
and is said by Ackrill to have been a thief for years.
The implements found in the house of Donovan are said
to be excellent specimens of housebreaking tools.

WORSHIP.STREET.

HOWE'

SERVANT.

Rhoda Perk, a respectably attired and rather good.looking
young woman, was charged with robbing her master.
Mr. Daniel King, a corn dealer, resident at Dalston, and
having a house of business in the City, said that be engaged
the prisoner as a general servant from the "Home," in
Smithfield, and received an excellent character with her.
That was about six weeks since, arid on Sunday last
she went out as usual, but never returned. Suspicion was
of course aroused by her absence, and it was quickly ascer-
tained that two gold neck chains, a black silk dress, a pair
of boots, and a crinoline petticoat, all of which articles
belonged to his wife and daughter, were likewise absent. A
little inquiry resulted in a great deed of information. The
" Home" servant had on each Sabbath indulgence
dressed herself in the clothes of her mistress and the jewel-
lery of the younger lady, covering the former with her own,
left the house in that condition, called upon a washing-woman
in the employ of his family (who, by the way, ought to have
been charged with her), left her own garments there for
several hours, then re-dressed and returned to her place
always at the given time, and with commendation for her
punctuality.
. _ . . .

Clark, 223 N, a very acute officer, who bad been in quest
of the runaway, stated that he apprehended her at Chester-
ton, in Cambrulgeshire, while taking an airing with her
sister in • " By." She yet wore the silk dress, crinoline,
boots, and one of the gold chains, the other being pledged
by her. A shawl end purse containing 341. were also in her
. . .

Mr. King claimed these ; and primeer pleading guilty
was sentenced to lax months' hard labour in the House of
Correction.
