--Tlassimesesi the previous sen-
tences which bed barn preetemsera this boy for Cri-
minal offences at a sl t character; and
which he had committed ty from the absence
of parental control and instreetis, lisr he was an orphan
and appeared neither to have friends nor relatives to inter-
est themselves in his behalf. These circumstances led the
court particularly to coeinsisanste the ems, and to regret the
state of the law which rendered itimperative upon the bench
to consign the child to a *son. There was only one satis-
faction which the magistrates of the county experienced;
which was that they had done everything which was in their
power to render the time prod by such children within the
walla of their county gaols of advantage to their intellec-
tual, moral, and religious improvement; but that object it
was Rost difficult to effect without losing sight of the disci-
and wholesome fear which should be inseparable
aim criminal punishment. The truth was, the two
objects were incompatible; but until the legislature provided
asylums proper for the reception of this class of children, the
Court had no other course to adopt; they had established
good schools in their county gaols, but if a proper education
with other advantages were given to all criminal children
incarcerated in them, it was impossible not to see that that
would be a premium for the commission of offences, that the
gaols would be divested of • wholesome terror, and diverted
from the purpose for which they were erected and main-
taisied. The prisoner was sentenced to imprisonment for six
calendar months in the Westminster bridewell. —Henry
Fachrel 1, aged 12 years, was indicted for stealing 41., and
other monies, the property of Joseph Fachrell. The
boy pleaded "Guilty." The learned judge inquired into the
circumstances of the case, and finding that the prosecutor
was the child's own father, questioned the latter as to the
method of training his son ?—The father said he had edu-
cated the boy, who had previously displayed thievish pro-
peeddre.—The learned judge censured the practice of
parents bringing their erring children before a magistrate,
and ridding themselves of the responsibility of their punish-
ment and reformation, forgeting that by so doing, they
stamp the brand of a criminal upon them for life. The Court
sentenced the prisoner to imprisonment, with hard labour, in
the House of Correction for nx calendar months, one of which
was to be spent in solitary confinement.

MARYLZHONE.--CANDIDATZ FOR TRANSPORTATION.
--John Hid was charged, on his own confession, with
having esumitted a robbery. Constable Loder, 59 8, deposed
that ess thererviewei*ht, abont 12 o'clock, u he wu on duty
in Haerbiteorezeet, Hampstead-road, he was accosted by
the Omar, who told him that he wished to be taken into
custody and removed to the station-house, as he had stolen
a quantity of meat, butter, and other things from a safe is
the area of the house, No. 10, close by. Witness, after
acquainting Mr. Bowater, the occupant of the premises, of
the occurrence, examined the safe, and found that it had
been forced open. A cloth containing meat, tic. was pro-
duced by the constable, by whom the bundle was ;alien from
the prisoner. Mr. Bowater identified the property as being
his.—Mr. Rawlinson to the constable: Did the prisoner say
anything more than that he wanted to be taken to the
station?—On being taken into custody, be said that he
was tired of remaining in this country.—Mr. Rawlinson:
Have you anything more to say ?—Prisoner: I have been
laid up for some time, owing to • bad foot, which his pre-
vented me from doing work.—He was committed for trial.
ASSAULTS IN A THEATRE,—Jobs Washington was
brought up in custody, charged with violently assaulting
three persons, two of whom (females) he attempted to throw
from the gallery into the pit of the Marylebone Theatre.
Mr. Christopher Turner, residing at No. 16, Brand-street,
Bryanstone-square, and whose right eye was shockingly
bruised and diafigured, dep wed that en the precious night
he was in the gallery of the Marylebone Theatre, when •
boy who tat Wined him persisted in annoying him by rub-
bing his dirty shoes against his (complainant's) coat; he was
repeatedly desired to desist, but he paid no attention thereto,
and at length complainant gave him a slap in the face. The
prisoner then struck him a tremendous blow, which knocked
him off his seat, and for a time he was quite insensible.
Mrs. Turner and Emma Strutt, her sister, stated that they
accompanied complainant to the theatre, and that oa their
remonstrating with the prisoner upon his misconduct, he
struck both of them, and made a desperate effort to throw
them over the gallery rails! Had he succeeded, the probabi-
lity was that they would have been killed ; the prisoner's
language towards them prior to his making the attempt, was
of a most grow and shameful description. The prisoner,
whose only excuse wu that he had partaken too freely of
drink, was fined 51.
EXTENSIVE Rommay.—Charles Molloy was brought up
by Wyress, 43 D, charged with having been concerned in
stealing about 2001. worth of property, belonging to Mr.
Horsford, proprietor of the baths in York-terrace, Regent's-
park_ Two other persons, named Cox and Lloyd, have been
tried and transported for the said robbery, and the prisoner,
whale guilty participation therein was proved, was remanded
till Tuesday next.
THAMES.—A FORGIVING MASTER.—Yesterday, Joseph
Lovett, a young man in the employ of Mr. Upsall, a butcher,
of No. 7, Weybridge-place, Mile-end-road, was brought be-
fore Mr. Broderip, charged with embezzling the sum of 9a. 3id.
which he had received for and on account of his master. The
case was clearly made out against the prisoner, who had been
entrusted with a quantity of fat to convey to a tallow melter,
who paid him 21. 15e. 11d., but he only accounted to his
master for 21. 6e. 74d., and put the difference in his pocket.
The details were lengthy, and after the prisoner's =stir and
the party who paid the prisoner the money had been exam-
ined at some length, and their depositions taken, a policeman
wu called to complete the case, when Mr. Upeall said he had
no wish to prosecute.—Mr. Broderip : I wish you had told
me that an hour ago. Here has all this time been wasted in
a court which is overcrowded with business.—The kind-
hearted butcher said he should not like to see his servant
sent to a prison, and that if the magistrate would dismiss the
case, he would be very much obliged.—Mr. Broderip : Will
you take him into your service again ?—Mr. Upsall said he
would readily do so. The prisoner was young, and might
yet become a bright man, notwithstanding this charge.—Mr.
Broderip said that the feelings of the prosecutor were highly
creditable to him • and as he was going to take the prisoner
back into his service, he would consent to his discharge. There
wu no' ea'y time for the prisoner to repent, but to show by
his 6.• we honesty and good conduct that he was worthy of
so ki. d a master, who had saved him from a prison.

SO UTHWARB.— Rebecca Caswell, the wife of a general
postman, was charged with assaulting her husband. The
complainant said that he had on several occasions brought
her to this court for assaulting, him while in a state of
drunkenness. Last night, about twelve o'clock, he found her
talking with a gentleman's coachman. She immediately
commenced abusing him, and actually prevented him from
having luxes* to his own house. He, however, with the
assistance of the police, gained possession, when she rushed
at him like a tigress, and would have severely injured him
had not the policeman interfered and taken her iato cus-
tody.—The prisoner commenced a volley of abase against
her husband, making use of very disgusting epithets, which
were stopped by the magistrate, who ordered her to be
locked up until she returned to her senses, when some ar-
rangement might be entered into between them fur their
separation, as it was quite clear she was not a fit woman for
such an industrious husband.

HAMMERSMITH.—Comxtrrat or Five BURGLAR/4,
Y emerday, John Welhoot, alias Greenwood, Geo. More, Geo.
Gardiner, James Gardiner, and John Jackson, aliu
five members of a gang of thieves, known se " Greenwood's
Westminster gang," were finally examined on a charge of
burglary. Thomas Sapp, one of the keepers of Hyde-park,
deposed that about five o'clock on the morning of Tuesday,
the Ist instant, he observed the prisoner More, with
a picture in a gilt frame under each arm, and Jackson
was on a little before Wm. His suspicions having been
excited, be spoke to Dunbar, T 91, whom he took with
him to the meadow where he had seen the prisoners, of
whom he had now lost sight. Dunbar then went to the
station, and on his return with another policeman, witness
seated them to search in the meadow for the pictures, when
they found the two produced under a large mortar-board,
which was covered over by a number of tiles. Witness
had no doubt that they were the two pictures he
saw the prisoners More and Jackson carrying. Witness also
found one of the handsome china chimney ornaments and
the roll of brown holland produced, in Hyde-park, within
the railings just under the coping stone. All the prisoners
, had passed and repassed the spot.—Dunbar, T 91, corro-
, berated this evidence as to the finding of the pictures. Wit-
ness also found the ivory work box produced, and in it save-
lid letters, addressed to Henry Duesbury, Esq., No. 1,
Upper-gore, Kensington. Witness accordingly went to Mr.
Duesbury's house which wasabout 200 yards distant. He
found one of the drawing-room windows open, and on going
into the drawing-room he saw both foot and hand marks on
the window sill, both outside and inside.—Amos, T 151, de-
posed to having assisted the two previous witnesses in search-
ing the meadow, both on the morning of the burglary and
on the following day. On the latter, witness found the
china standing dish, the chimney ornanunt, the card case,
four doyleys, and four damask table napkins pro-
duced. The latter have Mr. Duesbury's name on
them.—Serjcant Skelton, B 4, deposed that on the
morning in question, from information he received of the
robbery, he went in pursuit of the prisoners, with another
constable. About twenty minutes before nine o'clock he
saw them in the High-road at Knightsbridge. They were
all together. Believing them to be the parties who had
committed the robbery, witness followed tAem into Hyde-
park, and having procured the assistance of other constables
took them all into custody. They were then taken into the
guard-house at Knightsbridge Barracks, and on the
' prisoner Jackson was found the damask table napkin
produced, which bears Mr. Duesbury's name. %Va-
nes@ had the previous evening seen the prisoners
all together about eight o'clock in the Fulham-road.—
Sarah Bailee deposed that she was cook in the service of Mr.
Duesbury. The drawing-room windows look into the high
road. On the Monday night witness shut the drawing-room
doors. It was not the custom to shut the drawing-room
window, it being 16 feet high from the ground. The next
morning she found the room had been entered by means of
the window. The pictures, china ornaments, and other
articles produced were all the property of Mr. Duesbury,
and were of the value of 501. and upwards.—The prisoners
all denied any knowledge of the robbery, and behaved with
the greatest leviq. The prisoners were fully committed to
Newgate for trial.
