the euapessiou of his license was withdrawn. In cone.

was not a mimed man, neither was anything

cused each other of having appropriated the money.

" Tea have shown them rings to meanly, sad you want

Hester Allen, reepectably-dreseed child, aged 11, son
placed at the bit, charged with having committed the fol-
lowing *emulsions robbery upon a little boy named William
Busco.mbe, only 7 years old.
The evidence went to show that on the previous day the
little fellow was sent by his mother to a shop in Weymouth-
street, adjacent to this court, to purchase some potatoes, his
mother having given him half-a-crown. He presented the
ecrin at the shop he went to, but, as he could not get change
there, he procured it at another place near at hand. On
quitting the place, he was accosted by the pri-
soner, who asked him to let her wrap up the
The bey handed it to her, and she re-
tfrwad him a small paper packet, with which he
hastened back to the shop for his potatoes, He opened the
paper, and found therein only • sixpence and a farthing.
The prisoner, who, after she had robbed the boy, speedily
made off, was subsequently captured by Beck, 290 I), when
she denied having been near Weymouth-street for several
days. On the way to the station-house she threw from her
hand • shilling, a sixpence, and a farthing, iate the road.
The prisoner, who admitted her guilt, was sent to the
House of Correction for two months, the magistrate telling
her that she would there get such advice and admonition
from the chaplain as would, it was hoped, have a beneficial
effect with regard to her future course of life.
LAMBETH.
Arnelid Rebecca Quirk, aged 14, and James Quick, aged
14, genteel-looking children, were placed at the bar before
the Hon. G. C. Norton for final examination on the follow-
ing charge :
From the evidence it appeared that, on the 3rd inst., Mrs.
Tillett, residing at No. 4, Little Penton.street, went from
home, locking up her house, and leaving everything in it,
as she thought, quite safe. Soon after the prisoners, under
the pretence of looking for • Cocbia China fowl, made their
way to the back of the house, forced dawn the top part of
the back parlour windaw, and carried away several articles
of wearing apparel and other property. They soon after
pledged their booty.
Sergeant Quinnear, 1 P, deposed that he took the male
prisoner into custody on another charge, and, on searching
him, found a locket which proved to be a portion of the
property stolen from Mrs. Tillett'r, which he said he had
found. He subsequently took the female prisoner, and she
at once acknowledged the robbery, and pointed out the
shops at which the property had been pawned. The witness
added that the male prisoner hail been in custody four or
five times for till robbing, and he was a moat expert thief;
and the female, he understoed, had also been charged at
this court once before.
Mr. Norton observed that it was quite shocking to see
mere children, and particular the buy, who was only 13, such
adepts in crime, and committed both for trial.

Mr. Yardley was engaged for several hours in the inves-
tigation of a charge of felony, preferred ogainst Fronts
Church, sod 32, a general dealer, of No. 2, May-street;
Henry Driscoll, aged 27, a jobbing carman, No. 2, Peter's-
court, Rosemary-lane ; and Ro&erl Taylor Collins, a noto-
rious thief, only 22 years of age, who were finally examined,
charged with stealing four bags, containing 6 cwt. 1 qr.
Gibe. of cochineal, valeta 2471,, the property of the Londcn
Dock Company, from their premise..
Mr. Humphreys, the solicitor, conducted the prosecution
for the Dock Company.
It appeared that on the 16th of November last, Mr.
Thomas Rudd, a town carman, sent a man in his employ to
fetch the cochineal from the warehouse in the Docks. This
man was accosted by the prisoner Collins, who contrived,
under various pretences, to dclny him for three-quarters of
an hour. In the meanwhile, Church obtained the cochi-
neal, and it belay known that Driscoll hail been in their
company at the time, they were all apprehended.
The prisoners were fully oommitted for trial.
