WESTMINSTER SESSIONS, Ocr. SI.

This day an appeal was determined, wherein
Mr. tlwinnepp. of New Bond-street, was the Appel-
lant, and Mr. Cockerel, the City Surveyor, was the
Respondent. It appeared, that Mr. Gwinnepp had
reCted a new shop window in his house, in Bond-
street, which,projeaed about sixteen inches into the
,tact, the Al of Parliament allowing only ten
iorlies. He was summoned before the Magistrates
gof Nlarlborouh-stteet, and there conviaed-, under
which conviCtion he was to be restriaed from en-
croaching on the street, beyond ten inches. From
this conviaem, he appealed to the Westminster
Sessions; and, after some argument on both sides,
the conviaion of the Magistrates was confirmed. and
Mr. Gwinnepp will be under the necessity of re-
building his shop window, and confining it within
the limits allowed by Aa of Parliament.

POLICE.

PVIIIIC-OFFICE, 10tV•STRECT.

Yesterday, liandah Palmer anti Aim Harris were
brought before AAILON GRAFIANs Esq. the sitting
Magistrate, for re-examination, charged with steal-
ing a card of lace from the shop of Nlr. Christopher
Fisher, haberdasher, of Newport-street.
It appeared that on Saturday afternoon, the 20th
instant, the Prisoners went into the Prosecutor's
shop, and, after looking a long time at several cards
of lace, left the shop without purchasing any, and
the Prosecutor, having observed them put their
cloaks over his counter, sustwEled them to he shop-
lifters, and, immediately after they had left the shop,
he missed a card of lace, value 71. ; in consequence
of which he pursued the Prisoners, and overtook
them in the neighbourhood and secured them, but,
on searching them, the lace was not found ; but it
was strongly siispeaed a third woman, who was
seen talking with the Prisoners, after they came out
of the shop, had got the property, which is gene-
rally the plan with shop-lifters.
The Prisoners were taken to Bow-street, and un-
derwent an examination, when the Poisoners, who
were dressed in the first style of fashion, denied the
charge in tip.. strongest terms, and asserted that
they were women of the first respeaability ; but the
circumstances against them being very strong, Mr.
Ca AN A Ns, the sitting Magistrate, committed them
for further "examination, last Saturday, at which
time Mrs. Palmer persisted in the same account of
herself, and that she kept a house in King-street,
Soho ; hut Anthony. the officer, who happened to
be present, recognised her to be an old offender,
and a general had charafter ; and asserted, that she
had no longer since than last July, been tried at the
Old Bailey. which Ae most positively denied.
The Magistrate observed, it was a simple fan,
very easily ascertained, and said he would apply to
Newgate for that purpose, and, in the mean time,
committed her for further examination till yester-
day, when she was brought tip for further exami-
nation, and persisted in representing. herself to be
the immaculate character she had originally report-
ed herself to be ; but Mr. GRAHAM having re-
ceived a note from Mr. KIRBY, from Newgate.
stating, that she had been tried last July for stealing
a watch ; after the Note had been read, she,
after some hesitation, acknowledged she was the

person.
Anthony, as a further confirmation that she was I,
of the charaiFler he had originally represented her
to he, stated, that her husband was tiled at the last
Assizes fur Warwick, for picking pockets at Bir-
mingham lair, and sentenced to transportation ;
and she had since lived with a man of the name
of Slacks, scha was tried for picking pockets in
wallou•-street, at the last Old Bailey Sessions, and
s-iit-iic-d to transport,ition.
Atki.is, the 0$• er, traced a 101. bank note into
her po•srsbion, which had been stolen out of the
M titchester Mai:.
A P.isenhrisker attended, and proved the Prisoner
to h: the person from whom he took the note alluded
to, hut the principal in the rohisery having been con-
vieted at the last Sessions for another otlence, she
wa: not committed upon this charge ; but she and
her companion weir both fully committed for steal-
lag the lace.

Early on 1 hitrAlly morning, a man.who kept astall
of considerable value, discovered that alarge hole had •
been cut iii his stall, and property to the amount of
upwards of stolen and CAT' ie.l off, although he
slept in the st.dl. On Friday morning he made it
k!;osen in the F6r, and said, if he could move:
p In of his property, he would forgive the man who
had committed the robbery, and would treat him
besides. This conversation was overheard by one of
the privates belonging to the Guards doing duty
there, who asked the man whether he was serious in
his declaration? he replied, he was : the soldier then
told him if he enquired of Corporal he had no
i! mht hut he could inform him where his property
was. as the Corporal had confessed to him that it,
knew about it. The man, in consequence, applied
the Corporal, but he denied any knowledge of
the r •bbery. Application was then made to the
aficers, who, much to their credit, took the
business up in a very spirited manner, and or-
dered the Corp.aral to be searched, but no-
thing WAS found upon him. There being very
little doubt hut the property had been cones).-
es' into the room where the corporal slept, with
twenty-five privates, the men, as well as the room,
Were searched. bin nothing was found. The rest
rmsrning, spun the parade, the corporal was called
not, and tie man who had originally made the
ch.,rge aganst the corporal. was likewise called out
to emir ont hint ; when he, persisting in his story
wh.o the c.rporal had told him of his being con-
cerned in the robbery, and the tale being comment,
the Officers broke the corporal, and made the pri.
vase a Corp ; and. there bs fug Veil little doubt
but the property was conveyed into the room, all
the twenty-Svc men who slept in the room with the
corporal, were ordered to wear their coats turaed.
