charged with stealing a valuable gild enamelled fa-
mily watch, set in diamonds, the property of a Lady
of slistinifition and rank in Welbeck-street. The
watch was stolen from her Ladyship's mansion in
July last, at which period it was advertised. The

her mother being employed to take care of it %ellen
the family were from town. The watch was not
heard of until Thursday evening, when the Prisoner,
Feraro, was sent by the other Prisoner to pledge
it for two guineas, at the shop of Mr. Underhill, in
St. Giles's. The Pawnbroker was aware of the va-
lue of the article, and, from the mean appearance of
she Prisoner, who said it WAS her own, suspetted
dishonesty, and caused her to be secured. Lovett
and Foy, officers, went to Fortescue's abode. in
Smithfieid, where they found other valuable article; ;
and they were informed by her that she had found
the watch on Snew.hill. By the vigilance of these
officers, the property was traced to its owner ; hut
the Lady being absent at this examination, the Pri-
