A well-drreend youth, aged IT, named Harry Thowtas
Hag Arredefi, woo chafed before Mr. Muni... Bosky
(who eat for the Lord Mayor) with stealiag two gold doge,
riegs, the value of 154, the property of Mr. Fennell
Ligroin, a ship sad inaurance agent, carrying os his boat-
men at 82, Mark-lane.

The evidence of the prosecutor diselosed th►t the prisoner
had been in his ser►ice as clerk, and had always conducted
himself in a most satisfactory manse,, and had been
entrusted by him with large stuns of money, which be had
properly disposed of. A few days ago he mimed from a
desk is the office the two finger rings mentioned in
the charge, and when he mentioned his ken the primmer
denied all knowledge of the matter. The polies were
however communicated with, and the prisoner was esciand
at a public-house, when he confessed th►t he had takes
the risgv, which be had pledged for 21. is, is January and
February last, and hews up the duplicates as well es the
key with which be had opened the beak in which the rises
had bean deposited. The primmer also gave up a large quan-
tity of letters which bad been given him with the money
to psy the postage to post, but which he had kept for up-
wards of a week without having dipoles:gad that duty. The
riw were produced by the pawnbrokers with whom they
had been pledged, and were now identified by the pro-
secutor.

I[r. F. A. Lewis, who appalled for the primmer, said hb
client desired to plead guilty, to axons* bia eootrition for
what he had done, and to throw himself upon the merciful
consideration of the presiding magistrate.
The prosecutor joined in a reoommendstion for a lenient
sentence, as be believed the prisoner had yielded to sudden
temptation, and
Yr. Alderman Begley seekneed him to two mouths' im-
prisonment with hard labour.

CLERBPNWELL.
Frederick Kam, a royal maileart driver, is the employ
of Yr. Thomas John Palter, of Coughartriet, Gray'rion-
mad, who holds a goveromeot contract for the royal mag-
a was charged on the ectuplaint of Mr. W. Love, of
tt./loyal Society for the Preveotios of Cruelty to Animals,
with having cruelly tortured a horse by Trit+Mg it whilst
io an unfit state to labour.
. . . .

Mr. Barker proceeded to view the hone, and en his re.
tuns kneepad said this was a very bad cam, and the °Mears
had sated very properly in stopping the home. He wished
to know if anymy was present from the owners, and if so,
what he bad to say.
A person named Bentley said he was the managing fore-
man at the yard. The hors* had been kept in a fortnight
on account of the lameness, and the wowed must have inekes
out *fresh whilst the prisoner had the horse out. It was
not likely, he said, that a horse would be mot oat in such
&state as it then was. It appeared quite monad when the
prisoner went oat with it.
Mr. Barker mid if that was so it did not exonerate the
driver. It was clear from the evidence before him that the
prisoner had been driving the horse about tows in the same
state for hours, instead of taking it home at ono% He fined
the prisoner 55., and hoped the society's of would keep
their eye opoo the horse.
lir. Love said he would have further inquiries made into
the ems. At present bi■ belief was that there were others
more to blame than the driver in permitting the animal to
be worked, sad if be fined that were so it would be his
duty to proceed against them.
