On Saturday Richard William Britt, shspmen to Mr. Themes
Thwaltes, tailor and clothier of Broad-street St. Giles, Was brOUght
before H. M. Dyer, Esq., charged with tiering robbed ha mi.
ployer.
Mr. Thwaites deposed that the prisoner had lived with him as $
shopman between three and four years. On Tuesday last Mt.
Phillips, a clothes-dealer resident in Holywelhatreet, came sal
asked him if he had not been robbed ? To this question be could
not give a decisive answer, as he had always a large stock of clothes
on hand, and did all his business for ready money, on which Mr.
Phillips produced a great coat and a youth's suit of doilies,
which he instantly recognised to be his property ; Mr. Phillips then
informed him of whom he had bought them, and also stated that
he had bought previous to this two great coats and a suit of clothes,
which he had sold. In consequence of this information, on Friday
night he gave the prisoner into custody. The articles now pro.
duced were worth about 41. 12s.
Levy Abrahams deposed that the prisocer came to their shoptoms
time entre, and offered two great costs and a suit of clothes for sale.
Upon that occasion he represented himself to be a master tailor,
and in great want of money ; he accordingly bought the article,.
On Tuesday last, the prisoner came again, bringing with him a
great coat and suit of clothes. He then said that they were misfits,
and he asked 2/. for them. This he refused to give, and offered
305., which was taken. He then questioned him again as to where
he lived, when he said in Plumtree-street. This however he knew
to be false, as a young man who was in the shop had informed him
that the prisoner lived with 3/v. Thwaites. He then taxed the pri.
goner with the theft, which he acknowledged, fell on his knot,
begging of hint to say nothing about it, and he would take the
clothes back ; but this the witness refused to do, and not basing
any person in his place at the time, he let the prisoner go, upon
promise to come to him at twelve o'clock on the following day,
which promise he did not fulfil. He did not state to the prisoner
that he knew where he lived, but the information to Mr. Thwa.us
the next day.
51r. Thwaites here stated that, upon taxing the prisoner, be,
without his making any promise, begged of him to forgive bin,
saying it was the first time he had ever been guilty of robbing tem.
The prisoner, whet stood crying at the bar during the whole time,
said nothing in his defence, and was fully committed to take
his trial.
Several publicans residing in the neighbourhood of the Seven.
dials appeared before H. hl. Dyer and J. E. Conant, Essrs., to
answer to the informations of Johnson, the informer, and his man.
They were charged with keeping open their houses to late hours,
permitting gambling and other offences. Two of the publicans
proved that Johnson and his man had made some mistakes, which
gave them the victory. The remainder however were not so fortu-
nate, who, although they made very lengthy defences, were tined te
mitigated penalties sod costs.
WORSH I P-STREET.
CAUTION TO LODGING•HOUSE KEEPERS.-011 Saturday a
man of respectable appearance, who passed by a variety of names,
was committed to Newgate for trial on three separate charges of
felony, by Henry Osborne, Esq. the presiding Magistrate.
It appeared from the evidence that from the month of October
last to the time of the apprehension of the prisoner he has been
almost daily employed in taking lodgings, for the purpose of robbing
the houses. In all the instances adduced his representations and
conduct were nearly the same. On seeing a lodging to let le
knocked at the door and asked to see it. It suited him, and ha
thought it appeared respectable. He informed the people ho was
just come from Wisbeach, or from Norfolk, or sonic other con.
siderable distance in the country, and he found ut the inns in
London they imposed upon him, being so little acquainted with the
world. He said he was a farmer, and talked about the beauties of
the country being so much preferable to the smoke and dirt of the
metropolis. He had business in town, and perhaps should stay
only two or three days' or it might be longer, at any rate he would
take the lodging for a fortnight. On being asked for a reference,
he used to say that he had no friends to refer to in London, they
were a long way off, and he never thought about its being menu,/
before he started from home, and he was sure they need not be aired
of him. This and similar excuses always succeeded, and he
punctually came to his lodging at nine o'clock in the evening. Ths
next morning, or the morning after, when he found the opportunity
to go out unperceived, he generally took wearing apparel or any
other valuable article in ,his own or the adjoining room, and never
returned again.
