THE POLICE COURTS.

(THIS DAY.)

MANSION-HOUSE.
Timothy Bryant, an Irish labourer, was brought before
Alderman Carden, charged with being unlawfully in posses-
'ion of a portion of a silver teapot, which was supposed to
have bean stolen.
It appeared from the evidence of Monger. one of the City
detectives, that this morning, about 11 o'ziack, he saw the
prisoner go into the shop of Mr.%Gwen, a silver refiner
and goldsmith, in Fenchurch-street, and andns of
his suspecting something was wrong, he in after him,
sad saw a portion of a silver teapot 'yin on the
counter, which the prisoner bad offered for sale. He asked
the prisoner how he became possessed of it, and he said
that he and some other men picked it up at Rateliff-croes.
The silver weighed 10 ounces. He bad pressed the prisoner
to give him some further information, bat all he could get
from him was that he had picked it up, and that some other
men were present when he did so, but he would not tell
him who these men were.
The prisoner now repeated the same statement, and said
that he had done nothing wrong, and he did not know
whether the article was ailver or any other metal.
Mr. Hamilton, the superintendent of the City detective
police, mid that there had recently bees a great number
of plate robberies committed in different ports of the
country by Loudon thieves, who made a regular tour
through the provinces and even so far as Ireland, commit.
tog plate robberies in all directioes. He thought it was
possible that the prisoner might be merely the dope of
other parties by whom the actual robbery had been indicted.
If time wits allowed he might very possibly be able to ob.
Min some farther information upon the subject.
The prisoner wee remanded.

Mary dun Higgins, a young woman with an infant in
her arms, was fisally examined before Mr. Elliott on various
Merles of shoplifting.
Mr. Clark, a draper in the Newt-road, raid that the
prisoner had been in the habit of frequently calling at
hie shop to purchase trifling articles, and when she
left some article or other was missing. She milled on that
day week. She called and purchased •pennyworth of fringe,
and from what had been told him and what he bad himself
oteerved, he followed her out of the shop, and on stoppieg
and asking her what she bad about her she dropped the
piece of limey then produced.
Two pawnbrokers' assistants produced other pieces of
Similar duff which had been pawned by the prisoner, and
the duplicates relating to which were found in her poor-
Woo, and these were identified by the prosecutor as his pro-

Yrs. Yrs. Davis mid the prisoner had been in the habit of
coming to her shop frequently, and suspecting bey to he a
thief, both her husband and herself bad forbidden her
repeating her visits. The pair of boots produced by the
Snaliroker, and pawned by the prisoner, were the ;mo-
ping of her husband, and had been missed immediately
after the prisoner had left her shop the last time.
The prisoner, in the most impudent manner, said she
bad purchased the boots from the witness, and the artiolos
proicoed in the first as she said had been given to bee
by the young woman in the shop unknown to her master
for some embroidery work she had done for her. This the
young woman solemnly dented, and her assertion was not
only believed by the magistrate. but emery person in court.
Kr. Elliott observed he had so doubt the prisoner was
lot only an expert but a dangerous thief, and folly com-
mitted her for trial at the next Surrey session.
