IMW-STREET.

Late on Frid ty evening Ileery therhome, a gent el I young
apparently about IS years of age, 41.e.i.ed in the
highest style of fishiori, was brought before G.:urge 'How-
land Mershon, E.g. the *tiling Magistrate, charged w•le
dealing two silver table-spoomi: the property of Ririum
Allen, Esq., of 'Test square, Lambeth.
It appeare I from the statement of Mr. Allen, that the Pri-
soner was the sou of most respectable pareuis and hi. (miser
dying some years ago, the care of turn devolved Hi bus
mother, who bad bestowed oa him a finished education ;
through thecownexions of his ileeeased father he had the trou•-t
brilliant expectations as tri his advancement is life ; ha ova
on the eve of heiug appointed to a lucrative sisuatruo
-when it was discovered, to the in. mpreesible grief of
• his surviving parent, that lie hail formed • coon. %lull with
Frederick While, who, it hill be remembered, was sen-
tenced to he hie.geol for a highway roLhery sad pardoned.
Every effort was made by his frietols to delaCh hint
from the viciouscuurses in which he was entangled, sod which
were hurrying him to ruin. Twice he reified admission to his
mother's house under solemn promio s of reform:ea run, moil esi
time robbed her of whatever property be timid lay his bind.
on. ilia uncle and I other relations and suffer-
ed in the same manner, and the produce of his ill.gotteit
effects were dissipated among his dissolute corripauions. M..
Allen, from his promising abilities. hid been indese.d to suf-
fice him particularly, and a few says since the Prisoner eat.-
ed at his house, and after waiting a *hurt tune, Me. Alien
being front home, he went away, taking with him two ',die:
table-spoons, and in consequence of which Mr. Mho caused
' him to be apprehended.
Mr. Mansholt, add • g himself to the Prisourr—" Do
you wish to say any thing in your defence ?"
Prisoner—" I have nothoug to advatiee in extenuiri in of
the crime I am charged with; it is now passed and cannot
be recalled, and all that 1 can say is I am very sorry fur it."
Mr. Miushutt—m Indeed I think you have need to be so;
you have nut confined your wicked pra.:tices Ili your hide&
only, but yow have twice been guilty of the dreadful crime
of rubbing your parent, that parted w‘ro had received and
protected you from your infancy oath maternal care, and
who had struggled hard in the vieisotudes of life to bestow
ens lora ar education which fitted 'unto move in the highest
circles of society, sad which, of you hail retained any regard
tor your character, would have ensured to you the cacaos of
okeausing a respectable and honest ; the roormity
of that offence you may depend upon it, young swage, will
OW go morn uished."
The Prisoner made no reply, sod Mr. Allen stated that is
war ant more than half an hour since he quitted the mother
of the Primmer, who was in a most elslrdeitd state : the
knowledge of her son being really in corifimermut had
brought un violent hysteria fits, sod the untrimmed conti-
nuation of them bud placed her life in initialise-eat danger ;
he added, that the Prisoner had Icomfessed of the disposal of
the spoons to a person of the name of Green, who resided at
No. 369, Oxford sweet.
Mr. Minshull suggested that he won't' grant a search war-
rant, as it was probable the rentuval of the property bad mos
yet taken 'dace, sad in the mean tone 'woad realism.' the
Prisoner fur soother examivatiou. He gas then removed
(rum the bar.

On Saturday morning an n%cvr was ,dispstelied to the
horse of Green, and on makiii4 hones the purport of his
errand, Green confessed baying purchased the spoon, of
the Prisoner, and afierwarda admitted that he had am..
them to • particular friend of his to have the eieris r.aara.
The spoons were, after some difficulty,. d (p.m hit

On Saturday the ailjourired information preferred by Mr.
Bradfield, a respectable Gentleman, against Mr. Aeolic', •
roal-nsercbant, for .vending coals short of measure to Mils.
Collie., of Miseheßer-annare, received its Anal bearing be-
fore Mr. Griffitha,tbe Silting Magistrate.
Mr. Andrews opened shebasioese by expressing his mfr.
prise at a letter which had appeared in some of the pitirlie
papers, purposting so be from the Defendant, Mr. A:rot k.,
dated October 9, stating, among other partie.lats, sh.t
the este had been diansisoeS that day by the Almelo/tie..
He (Mr. Andrews) wished to know whether that Was 'ere
fact ? '
The Magistrate answered, '• Certainly ant," and appeared
surprised at the statement. No such decision' he ob.. eyed,
could have hren made, as Saturday was the askiesinietiAley
fur besting she ea.e.
Hr. Andrews then procreiLol to argue she rase at cob..
viderable length. He cunteuiled, that the information, a. io
sought to recover she pushy of 401. on earls *irk (10'iss
camber) was strictly correct, and came within the j ariulic-
lion of the Magistrate.
Mr. Griffiths then delivererl hi. opinion, and declared
that he conceived the information ill be a 'direly will his
jurisdiction, insomuch as it sought to recover 3?!. Ih:itbeing
ihe amount of the penalty at 40s. on sixteen sacks of coal..
'That being shave SOL he certainly could' not receive the in.
formation, and after having give.. the rat the inms: failure
consideration, he was criollensed in his opinion. If the
Julges in the Court of Nailer, !tench should drcide the in-
formation to be within his jurisdiction, he abould certainly
feel mach pleasure in seals hearing the case.
This important case, it is deterrnined, will be removed by
mandamus luso the Court of King's Bench.
