Edward Sanford, alias Teddy the iiah, was brought up
on a warrant, charging hiss with being an accomplice of
Brooks, alias Goode, etnumitted from this court on Friday
last for eleg•stealing.
Mr. C. Short, of Cleveland-row, the prosecutor in the
former ease, attended, and repeated ins former evidence, to
the effect that the prisoner was the chief actor in trying
to obtain money from him for the restoration of his dug,
which had been stolen. The prisoner had been twice to
Head,
house, and ho had gone, with him to the NaA's
Heal, New Comptenastreet, where he despoiled, a.. stipu-
lated by the prisoner, the sum of two pounds, in the hands
of the hen llord, to be poid to the prisoner in the
event of the dug being restored to witness Eventually
the clog was Nought to witness by the prisoner Brooke
all, Goode, now undergoing imprisonment in the
Mouse of Correetion for the same offence, he having been
desired to bring in the dog by the prisoner, and was taken
into custody by the police, with whom witness had commu-
nicated. Ihe landlord had told witness that he would re.
store the money to him if the dug was not returned, and
did so when the first prisoner was taken, the present
prisoner having made his escape.
Mr. Burnaby, chief clerk, lure called for Bishop's Act
against dog stealing, the (Abel:nue of which enacts :—.. That
any peplum wlin shall corruptly take any money or reward,
directly or indirectly, under pretence er upon account of
any person to recover any dog which shall have been stolen,
ur which shall be in the possession of any person not the
owner thereof, shall be guilty of misdemeanour and
I punished accordingly."
'rhe prisoner male n rambling defence, having ineffectu-
ally cross-examined the prosecutor. •
l'olice sergeant Thump...it, of the F division, gave evi-
deuce as on the former OeCabioll, that he accompanied the
prosecutor to New Compton-street, and remained outside
the Nag. Heal, where he saw the prisoner and Brooks in
active communication, and saw Brooks with the dog in his
apron, when be apprehended him; but the prisoner in the
dark gut through the house, as there was 3 door leading
into Lludley-strmt, and ran down liolborn. The landlord
returned the money to the prosecutor, and said he was
willing to appear against the prisoner, whom witness subse-
quently apprehended, and who had been before committed
fur a similar offence. . . . .

The prisoner cross•examined the witness to show that he
had not been convicted ffir slog stealing but for possession,
when it app. areal that the prisoner had been caught iu the
let of " hasketing" it dog. (Laughter.)
Mr. Jardine said that the act (Bishop's) was very strin-
gent. The prisoner knew that the dog belonged to the
genth man, and that it hail been stolen from hint, and went
to his house to get 111011 CV fraudulently from him. It woo one
sit these ease, winch call. fur lull punishment, to put down
the ffisetice, and pritoner should therefore he confined in the
House of Correction. with ban' labour, for six calendar
months. riertrisaiit 'lliompson should bear the landlord of
the Nag's Head to his official recollection. It was too bad
to sec a person iu an ostensibly respectable position in life
lending himself to a disgraceful conspiracy to defraud the
owner of property, which had been stolen, of money fur its
restoration; and it the prosecutor felt disposed to go on
with the case against the landlord, after thinking the mat-
ter over, he (Mr. Jardine) would grant a warrant against
I him-

The prisoner was then lucked up.

Mnetrice Caflay/tan, aged 1,, the son of a policeman, was
finally examined ow various charges of rubbing children in
the following impudent manner:
The prisoner, who is a practised young thief, had been in
the habit of watching little children into different shops,
and on finding them come out with change he followed them
a short distance, and charged them with giving a bad shil-
lling to the shopkeeper, and took away the change.
Two cases were distinctly proved against him, when he
took pi:pi:awl and some hallpence from children ; but the
wituesiies were of such tender ages that the magistrate did
not wish to send him before another court, and dealt with
the case in a summary manner.
After remarking on the impudent manner in which he
had committed the robberies, the magistrate sentenced the
prisonerp two months' hard labour.

The Lk tilt Count Chabot, at-
tends-a before the Hon. G. C. Norton, is discharge of his
recognisance', to meet a charge of having given Mr. Wing-
field, the barrister, a take character with William Wardell.

The particulars of the previous examination have already
appeared.
, Mr. Norton observed, that if he recollected rightly, the
i defendant when last before him denied that hr had given
a character of Wardell to any person in 1817, or to any one
but Mr. Haydon ?
The defendant replied that in the confusion of the mo-
ment he had nut r collected having done so, but von after
it occurred to him that he bad gives a verbal character of
him to Mr Wingfield, one of the gentlemen present. At
that time he (the marquis) lodged at the house of the sister
of Wardell, in Alfred-place, Brunswick-square, and could
repeat now all that he said. Some remark had beer made
on the former occasion about his keeping a servant, to
which be wished to observe, that in addition to his pension
for serrices performed in India, the company allowed him
a specific sum of 60/. a year fur the very purpose of keeping
a servant.

ldr. Norton obeerved that in justice to the marquis he
felt bound to read a note which he had received from Mr.
Haydon, sad which was csaftratstor7 of the statement
erl be (the defendant) bad made on the previous me
erica :
