SAN. N.

boy, between tour and five months, and the lady having missed her
necklace and locket, charged the boy with the theft. He at first
denied any knowledge of it ; but on being taxed a second time,
co►►fessed that he had given it to his mother, who had requested
him to steal that or any thing else. The mother, a creditable look-
ing woman, was taken into custody, and informed of what her son
bad said, which she most solemnly protested was false. When site
AN. as brought before the Magistrate, the urchin persisted that what
lie had told the officer was true. The poor woman cried bitterly,
and begged of him to tell the truth, as did his father, and many
other persons present ! but nothing could induce him to alter his
story, and the poor woman, almost broken-hearted, was ordered to
the House of Correction. The boy was ordered to be committed
also, which made not the least impression on him, till the gaoler
was about to put irons on him, when he said, all that he had said
to implicate his mother was false, *and she knew nothing about it;
that the necklace and locket were concealed in the drawer of a
looking-glass, in one of the ladies' rooms. Craig went and searched
the drawer, to no effect ; but on turning the carpet, there disco-
vered it. As soon as it was made known to the Magistrate, no
time was lost in dispatchimn a person to order the discharge of the
unfortunate woman ; and the abandoned youth was remanded.
C. King was examined, charged with stealing, on Friday se'n-
night, in the warehouse of Messrs. Cadet! and Davies, booksellers,
In the Strand, a copy of Burn's Justice, in sheets, of the value of
404,- The prisoner was apprehended in Drury-lane, with the pro-
perty in his possession.—Fully committed.
