James Weal was charged witcstealing two chain., •
looking glass, a work-box, two pillows, and other articles,
the property of William Malsbury, the steward of a Teasel
trading between London and Sydney, uader the foLowing

Elizabeth Ma!shyly said her husband was on his voyage
to Sydney, acting as steward on board the Monarch. She
had known the prisoner some years, and while her husband
was ploughing the seas she lived with him for protection.
Site had furniture of her own, and her husband left her
very eonsfortahly off. The last time the prisoner lived with
her was the 29th of October, and on the 31st, about six
o'clock in the evening, she went out, leaving everything
safe in her apartments. She did not return home until
about one o'clock in the morning, when she discovered
that her room had been ransacked of every article of
any value. She saw nothing more of the prisoner until the
13th instant, when she met him in Blackman-street, and
told him that he was a cruel man to seduce her, and after-
wards rob her of all she possessed, and that she should give
him into custody. He was very insulting to her, when,
meeting with a police constable, she was induced to give
him into custody. The day after she missed the goods she
saw some of them exhibited for sale at the shop of a broker
in Friar-str et, Southwark, who had purchased them of the
prisoner. The prisoner said, in answer to the charge, that
he but lived with the prosecutrix for some time, and some
of the articles were purchased with his money, and he al-
ways considered the things to be es much his as hers.
Prosecutrix denied that any of the things were purchased
with the prisoner's money. Her husband was very kind
when ashore, end bought the coeds for her before he
went to sea. Mr. Combe tohE her that she made a
bad return for her husband's kindness by living in
adultery with another man while he was on the seas. Her
husband, perhaps was not aware of her disgraceful con-
duet, or he would' not be so kind to her when be returned
from his voyage. Prosecutor said she was completely led
away bythe prisoner, but shehoped her husband would not
hear of the circumstances.
Mr. Combo told her that she was certainly a pretty speci-
men of a wife, but her conduct did not excuse the prisoner,
who had been guilty of an unfeeling robbery. He should
commit him for trial, and he hoped the circumstance would
alter her conduct towards her husband.

Sergeant Wright, of the M division, said he was present
at the Newington Sessions in December last, when he saw
the prisoner convicted of felony. lie was generally a com-
panim thieves
Mr. Coombe ordered the former conviction to be placed
on
for tra the depositions, and fatly committed him to Newgate

James Peake, the housebreaker, tbe last of whose many
escapes from the custody of policemen was described in the
Espreu of Wednesday last, was placed in the dock, having
been recaptured in a thieves kitchen at Chelsea.
It appeared that the house into which prisoner had made
a clandestine entrance was shut up, the family being from
tows. As there was no probability that Its proprietor
would be forthcoming to prosecute, the prisoner, much to
his sorrier, was discharged.
