MANSION HOUSE.

idasin Bremer, a smart-looking young man, was yester-
day brought before Mr. Alderman Hale' in custody of
Smart, the detective officer, charged with obtaining goods
by false pretences from a number of mercantile firma in
the City.
It appeared, as fares the CM* was gone into, that the
prisoner had formerly been in the service of Messrs. Turner
and Bolder*, drapery, Limon-grove, but had been dismissed,
and it seemed that he afterwards went to different houses
with whom Ms former employers were in the habit of doing
burins'', and obtained goods under the pretence that they
were required by them. The only charge that wee for-
mally taken was one preferred by Messrs Calticoott and
Co., of Cheamide, from whom the prisoner obtained
eighty yards of alpaca, value 31., which be pawned imme-
diat afterwards.
Thely prisoner was remanded.
Nary Anne Rust and INizabetA Sultiran, two girls stated
to be only ten yeas of age, were charged with the following
robbery.
It appeared that a little boy named Jones, who is about
the same age as the prisoners, was engaged t the back of
the Royal &chugs in selling newspapers, with a bag of
halfpence the produce of his employment hanging round his
neck, when the two prisoner, went up to him and forcibly
took the bag and money from him and ran away. He began
to cry, and a police-constable came up, and went after the
prisoners and took them into custody, and as they were
going to the poliosetatiori he beard something drop, which
turned out to be the bag of mosey. The prisoner Sul-
livan then said that she would tell the whole truth, and went
on to say that they saw the boy near the Exchange, and
Rush said he had got some money, and proposed to her
that they should " mike "(a flash term for stealing) it •
and they went up to the boy and Ruda matched the bai
from hie neck, and when she found they were going to be
taken she slipped the bag into her hand, and she dropped it.
Shaw, one of the police constables of the city, informed
the alderman that the prisoner", although so young, were
both very bad characters, and Rush hail already been placed
in a ref amy school, but she made her escape, and her
conduct was soled that they would not receive her.
Alderman Hale remanded the prisoners, in order to afford
an opportunity for considering what was best to be done with
them.
