THE POLICE COURTS.

(THIS DAY.)

WORSHIPSTRELPT.
111:13Dri.TSIIPTATION.

Akio Haw; a respectable-looking youth, was charged
before Mr. Leigh with stealing a pair of trawlers from the
shop door of a tailor named Varlet', at 73, Shoreditch.
Mr. Beard defended.
The evidence went to show that last evening the prisoner
was caught in the act of making away with the property,
which, however, was secured by • string as It hung at
Use door.

Mr. Beard observed that it was quite impossible to con-
tend against testimony so clear as this ; therefore he
should not attempt to do so. The prisoner was, as
might be seen, a person of some trade, who
could not have purposed robbery. The fact wee
be bad yielded to a sudden temptation as he passed the shop
on the way to the theatre with his sweetheart. It mull
not be amounted for, nor was it an isolated instance of the
kind ; all that could be pleaded for was a summary juris-
diction by the court.
Mr. Leigh, after some consideration, acceded to this, and
ordered the prisoner to be confined in the House of Cor-
rection for au weeks.
