It appeared from lite testimuay of Eagle*, as officer, that

they resolved In explore further, mod iestantly broke is •pou

serrenuded theta. However, the ermelsgarm stood sic pocky,
and safely conducted the whole of the youthful mesiben to

their bed., fearless of any disagreeable sedation.

The Prisouers were *ow called ua to account for them-
selves. They Dog aid all said they had subserilsed four•peoce
each to reale fur a table, that had been made by a compa-
nion who was learning the hosiers@ of a cabinet.maker, and
that they were making no disturbance at the time the officers
ease iatu the house. Hew they (the Prisouerr) get pos►es-
siun still remains in mystery.
The of said he found the key of the street door on one

The Msgiatrste said, that p.rta■ ought to bc visited with

detain the key, by which means t►e owner is ■Il probabilily
will make his apprarascr.
The friends of all the prisoners were presest, and were
very respectable people, sod the Magistrate, after ■dmuui.h-
ists them os their future cosduct, entered them to be given
up to their relatives.

Brtween six •nd ten o'clock on Sunday night,
during the temporary absence of the family, swine
villains entered the house of Messrs. B. and W.
Lea. gold, engine, and watch-case turners, 13,
King-street, Clerkenwell, and carried off gold awl
►ilver filings sod cuttings toll considerable amount ;
they likewise attempted to force open the iron safe,
which contained • large sum in money, besides
seve►al thousand pounds worth of gold and silver
watches, chains, and other articles of plate.

At Worcester City Sessions there was only one
Prisoner for trial, viz. David Phillips. an old and
notorious offender, who .0 ,found guilty of stealing
from the person of R. CoLzEic a silver watch, and
sentenced to transportation for seven years. Some
apprehension was entertained that this fellow would
have been again let loose upon society, in conse-
quence of the Prosecutor not coming forward when
called upon by the Court. Suspicion arose that he
had been bribed to nbsence, lint, however, after
a considerable delay, lie presented himself. sod ex-
plained his non-appearance to have arisen from
having mistaken the day of trial. Upon being
questioned, lie stated, that an otlVr of M. hod been
made to him by a female friend of the Prisoner to
forego the prosecution, but which lie rejected. The
Court remarked, thut it was moot fortunate for him
he had so deter aaa i a ; for had he assented to the
proposal, and not appeased to give evidence in sup-
port of the indict meat he had preferred, the recog-
nizances he had entered into, to the amount of 20/.
would have been retreated, and much inconvenience
and injury to himself would have been the resole ;
the higher powers having reerutly and imperatively
directed, mud it was moat essen'ial that such should
be generally known, that in all cases of forfeited re.
coguizancee of this nature the full amount of the
bonds should be the penalty of their infruction, and,
until paid, the person of the individual should be
imprisoned.
