Jaw Elliamx, a French-polisher, and John Jaciaon, •
commission agent, of Leonard-stret Shoreditch, whose
father some time ago achieved notoriety in canoe:mimes of
his being included in the charge respecting the robbery of
the Countess of Elksmere s jewellery, were placed at the
bar charged with stealing 36 yards of cloth from the
premises of Messrs. Green, auctioneers, of Farringdon-
atzeet.

Mr. Beard attended for the prosecution.
The evidence of the prosecutors' porter was that the pri-
soners entered the premises in Farringdon-street, Williams
carrying • dressing-aue and a small box which Jackson was
desirous of selling. The porter gave a receipt for the
articles sad the prisoners left, but in an hour they returned,
and Jackson asked for • receipt for another article
which he had left for sale, and while the porter went into
the counting-house to get it, Williams went to the back of
the warehouse and brought forward • roll of cloth, but on
perceiving he was being watched he dropped the cloth be-
hind some boards, and when he was stopped by the porter,
Jackson volunteered to fetch a policeman, and went out
kr that purpose. but he never returned.
Belly, the calory, said he found Jackson in the Old-
street-rand, sad took him into custody. He found on him
18 keys, but could not find out where he was living.
Mr. Beard said lie would now call Sergeant Evans, of the
division, to show the character as well as the complicity
of the prisoners.
Sergeant f:vams said he knew both prisoners, and bad
seen them frequently together. Williams was known to
the police by the name of "Ghost," and be believed be
was one of two beethers,who bad been twice summarily con-
victed. Jackson had been once is custody in that name,
and twice in the name of Shaw. His trot conviction took
plass before his father was convicted for the robbery of the
Countess of Ellesmere's jewels.
Alderman Hale said he recollected seeing Jacks= in
custody at this court, and committed both prisoners for
trial.
