with stealing a scarf, a pair of gloves, and a shoe horn,

street, Gro,-venor-square. John Allsop, a footman, in
the service of the prosecutor, stated that about a quar-
ter-past nine on Saturday night the prisoners came to the
house with some wood, and remlined in the hall for
about five minutes while witness took the wood down
stairs. When witness returned he found the pri-
soners had gone, and at ones missed the ar-
ticles named in the charge which he had seen
safe just before. Witness immediately suspected pri-
soners to be the thieves, and yesterday he proceeded to
prisoners' employers, where he saw them and taxed
them with the theft, which they directly admitted, and
said they hai sold the things to an orange woman, in
Oxford-street. He then gave them in charge. The
prisoners were remanded till Monday next.
