POLICE.

M ARI BOROUf7.II STRUT.
A Master shoemaker brought his apprentice be-
fore the Magistrate at this OlNce, for running away
and neglecting his business.
The complainant stated, that the young man had
been lately drawn into bad company, who had in-
ticed him from his service. By their instrations he
had entered on board a man of war at Gravesend.
from which place he liberated him, a few days
since. Notwithstanding which, he was still deter-
mined to elope, and at all times his manner of col.-
dueling himself was so insolent, as to render this
application necessary.
A night or two back, he had been taken lip
upon suspicion in St. James's Park, with a loaded
pistol in his possession; he was then conveyed be-
fore the Magistrate in Queen-square, from whence
he was also released, by the application of the com-
plainant On his return home, he immediately
went off again, and took with him various of his
master's tools, but was once more taken, before he
could elle& his escape.
The apprentice alledged in, defence of his beha-
viour, that he did not like his master, who had fre-
quently used him ill, and begged that he might be
suffered to go on hoard any ship in his. Majesty's
service, rather than be forced to stop with the com-
plainant. The Magistrate, with the consent of his
master, agreed to his proposal, and sent him, with
an officer, to be concluded on board the tender.
John Kcnaer, a master tradesman, brought two
women, and his son, before the magistrate, sni a
charge of haviiig sold various articles of wcarirg
apparel, his property.
1 he two woolen were mother and daughter; the
former of whom hadelong lived with the com-
plainant as his wife. lie complained, that they
had been continually plaguing him for money, and
on his having refused to satisfy their demands, they
had sold his cloaths.
The Magistrate observed, that it was very im.
;mopes behaviour, and that no man's family could
justify their condo6t, in idly squandering away his
property. He, therefore, ordered the party to re-
store the deaths they had taken away, to the com-
plainant, and make ample restitution, or he should
commit them to a place of confinement for three
months.
flenn;ngs was charged with stealing two
gowns, an apron, and several articles of dress, the
property of John Clark.
The prisoner was a lodger in the house of the
complainant, and was the only person in the room
when the things were stolen.
Mrs. Clark stated, that the property was placed
in a box, which was opened, and the things taken
out ; there was nobody present when they were
stolen but the prisoner, and she believed it was he
that had taken them.

_
it appeared, however, that nothing further than.
suspi.:ioit could be traced in his condut, as no per-
son had "seen him with any of the property in ques-
tion. The Magistrate, therefore, informed the
complainant, that he must produce further evidence
to prove the charge against the prisoner, and that
he would detain him for some time longer for that
purpose ; if, howev.lr, nothing more was proved
against him.in an hour, he should discharge him.
