A CAUTION TO JOURNEYMEN MECHANICS.
Jobe Browse, ajaitrueyinen painter, was brought up un-
der • warrant, barged with leaving his master's employ
without finishing his work.
)Jr. Ambrose Cutler, a master painter, stated, that the
Defendant was • journeyman in his employ, and he (the
witness) was employed to paint and letter the front of a sloop
on Ludgate-hill. The Defendant requested that he might be
allowed to paint the letters ; be did a part of them, and was
to finish the remainder on the next returning. He called on
the witness in the evening of the day lie bad performed part of
the work, Anil asked him to advance him 10s. which be did.
He bad not sees the Prisoner since until he was in custody.
The warrant was taken oat so far back as the 13th September
last. The person who had employed the witness was highly
offended at the wort being left unfinished, as there was only
part of his name and of his business finished, and it was
some days before be ronlil get another journeyman to finish
it. He was out aware that it was in his power to punish
the Defendant, until be saw a Cale of • journeyman shoe-
maker in Tas MMUS! PRIM Newspaper, which was heard
at that Office. The particular Act of Parliament was not
generally known, as few convictions had taken place on it.
Journeymen, he admitted, were in general ignorant of it.
H• believed it was the Act of the 47th of the King.
The Defendant stated, that illness prevented him front
finishing the stork. He admitted that he had received 10s.
from the Complainant, but at the time the letters be had
painted emanated Ist Um. It was his intention to have
finished them, but indisposition prevented him.
The worthy Alderman observed, that the Art of Parlia-
ment was imperative, and left nu discretion with the Ma-
gistrate, if it was proved to his satisfaction that the work
was left in an unfinished state. The Art also defined the
punishment on conviction, which was not to exceed three
months in the Huila. of Correction, or less than one,at the
dis-
cretion of the Magistrate. As the Act was nut generally
known, and the Defendant might be ignorant of it, lie
would inflict the least pimislinient in his power, which was,
that the Defendant should be imprisoned one month in the
House of Correction.

ATROCIOUS ROBBERY BY SERVANTS.

Yesterday a full and final examination Of the parties con-
cerned in the robbery of Mr. Chilow's house in Camden-
street, Camden-Town, took place before J. E. CONANT, F.M.
the sitting Mazistrate. The iuvestigation occupied nearly
the whole of the day, and did not conclude tilt between four
anal five o'clock, the sobstatice of *hick is as follows :
Stephen Norris, the watchman, sod James Dennis, the
uncle of Joseph Braid, the footman to Mr. Clulow, were
placed at the bar as the principal rubbers, sod Michas' Levi
as au accessary after the fact. Joseph Braid, the footman,
and Emma Owen, the cook, who bad been in custody till
yesterday as offenders, were, for the sake of public justice,
admitted as evidence fur the Crown, and their testimony
against the Prisoners was received upon oath.
Mr. Harmer attended to conduct the prosecution, awl Mr.
Isaacs attendeil for Michael Levi.

Mn Etisaheth nohw, the wife of the Prosecutor, was
introduced into the Office, leaning on a young Geutlesallee
arm, evidently much indisposed; she was conducted to a
chair near the Magistrate, and Mr. Clulow, who baa lately
arrived from abroad. sat its a chair close to the Magistrate.
Jima. Clulow nearly faiuted, till a glass of water was procured
her, when she revived ; she proceeded with great difficulty
to give her evidence, and she spoke iu such a low tone of
voice that Mr. Harmer repeated to Mr. Woods, the clerk,
what she said. Mr. Clulow had besot to France for about Mae
week', and during bier abseisce she had frequently left her
house, in Cainden.street, to visit her relatives at Clatiliatu
and Brixton, and occasionally returned home. Joseph Braid
her footman, and Emus Owen her cook, were left in
charge of her house during her abscure. On the 6th instant
she was at home, and considering her servants to have gone
to bed about In o'clock ; she did not retire till past 12.
About half past two o'clock she was awoke, and greatly
alarmed by the springing of a watchman's rattle, and became
extremely frightened by the cry of " 'fbieves!" &e. She
continued in her bed.room with her door fast, she heard the
alarm given by the Prisoner, Stephen Morris, the watch.
man, sod when she beard her street-dour open, and his voice
in the house, she began to consider belief war, and at the
same time there was a knocking at her beitroorn door ; she
inquired who was there, and was answered by Emma Owen,
winch induced her to open the door, whets sire perceived
her completely dressed, with a cloth pelisse oar ; it 'se.
flirted to her, at the time, as an extraordinary circum-
stance that she should be so completely dressed, but
she thought no more of it at that time. EMllia. Owen
then related to her the story of her being awoke by two rob-
bers in bet bed-room, with their faces blackened, each of
them armed with pistols, presenting them at bet head, and
threateesiog to blow her braius out if she made the least
alarm, &e. la a short time after she saw Joseph Braid, the
footman, partly dressed, armed with the kitchen poker, car-
rying it over his shoulder io a menacing manure, As she
then supposed, going in pursuit of the robbers, or to be
its readiness to defend himself in case he met with
them/. She remained for some time in a dreadful state of
suspense, not 'wowing a heater she was to he attacker! by the
robbers or nut, abets, on being assured by Joseph Braid
and Emma Owen that the Jobbers were out of the bowie,
and limier; the prisoner Stephess Morris, the watchman, in
the boost, she thought bessell perfectly secure, and ventured
out of her herds u ~,,, , and tin going over the 11111:•1., • he
found candles horning in different riming, as if a ouniher of
iwrsous had been mu the house. She found the plate chest
had beets [nought Juan from a loom 00 the second dour,
into the drawing loom, and placed use a sofa; the luck of
the cheat had bum fumed open, and several articles of plate
were distributed about in different parts of the room,
some of them wrapped lip in blankets, to appearance as if
thieves had been packing them op, but hail beret disturbed

perty, appeared to be packed up, seedy for carrying off.

man, that the robbers had entered by the balcony window,
where there was a ladder at the hack of the house, one of
the squares of the window was broken, the pieces of glass had
fallen a cuusiderable distance into the house, which was to
have the affect of supposing the robbers had broken it fur the
pm pose of enabling them to push up the a widow. There
was some cold meat and bread and other refreshments, as if
they had been regaling themselves. She at that time bad
no suspicion, but that every thing bad happeued as it hail
been represented to her, and she was extremely distressed
and frightened; she ordered Smith, the petiole, to be sent fur.
John Smith, a conductor of a patty of the patrole belong-
ing to the Office, stated, that early in the morning of the
alarm at Mr. Clulow's house, on the 7th inst. the Prisoner,
Stepher Morris, the watchman came to his house in the
neighbourhood, and informed Lim of what had happened at
Mr. CI ohm's house, and lie described it to have been disco-
vered whet, lie was calling half-past two o'clock, he saw a man
in the kitcheu with a lighted candle its his hand, who be had
no doubt was a rubber, and (ruin sillier appearances in the
house, be had no doubt but that there were several robbers
there, and that they had entered the house by a ladder,
through the balcony window. He described the confused
state of the house, the quantity of plate aluch had hero
stiffen, what had been left its consequence of his disterhiug
the robbers, Sce. From this informatiou Smith hastened to
the house, and he found it in the state the watchmass had
described, and although he was told of the different doors
which were open, the square of glass being broken, the
tbr at the balcony, &c. yet out perceiving the usual violence
on the doors generally made by houstbresskeis, he bad souse
suspicion of the servants being accessno y, but did old
cuninimucale his suspicions then ; lie stationed John
Davis, constable, in Mr. Clulow's boom., ler a pretence
wf isrutecting it, but in fact, to watch the motions of the
servants. In about a week after the alarm, he hail not wily
auspiciusi of the servants, but a 1.., of Stephen ,Morris, the
watchman, and he deter tttttt rd use takilig him into custody,
and on 11111 going to lion for that porpose, nud telling him
he suspect.d be was cutlers bed its breaktite open and tub-
bier, Mr. Clui:u.ess house, and that hr should take him into
custody ; his answer 111 reply was," What dues Joseph say !"
moaning Just ph Heald, the footman. Smith replied, that
it sat no neuter what be said. lie then said that he

would hear when he gdt before the Magistrate. Morris
tben said, he knew b—y well who bad Mr. Chilow's
plate. It was Old Mich, toenuiug the prisoner Michael Levi,
who is well known iii that neighbourhood by the name of
Old Mich, or Old Michael. On aearcking him be found a
new gold seal soil key attached to a silver watch, which he
purchased of Old Mich, supposed to be with part of the
money ha had received for the plate; arid on searching his
residence in Caroline street, Camden-Town, he foiled a skirt
marked with a" C" and a" W," which had evideutly been
taken out. Tbia being produced, Mrs rlulow identified it
to be her husband's; and on a second search of the premises
by Smith, he found tight silver tea-spoons. nll of the same
pattern, some with the arms and iuitials ot Mr Chaos, ee-
l:L*4.llK, sad they hart been erased off the others. Mrs.
Clulow identified them to be her property, hut said they
were not part of the plate which bad ben stolen out of the
chest ; they were merely kept in the butler's pantry, for
common use.
-

John Davis. the constable belouging to the office, wbo was
stationed in Mr. Clulow's house after the alarm pretending
that the house had been betakes apes, stated, that, in conse-
quence of conversation which he bad with, and informatiou
be received from, the footman, be bad reason to suspect that
the Prisoner, James Dennis, the uncle of Joseph Braid, was
concerned in robbing Mr. Clulow's house previous to tbe
alarm! he went to Chelmsford is Essex, and apprehend-
ed him. He at first asked him if he knew Camden Town !
be replied, very well. He told him be suspected that be bad
been concerned in robbing Mr. aolow's house there. and
be was come to apprehend him for it. He surrendered very
readily; and while they were waiting at the White Hart Inn
for the coach coining, be, without being asked, or receiving
any promise, voluntarily confessed in his bearing, to the
father of Joseph Braid, the footman, that be and the Pri-
soner, Stephen Morris, the watchman, robbed Mr. Culow's
house on the night of the 15th of September, wheat his
nephew and the cook were out of the house, and guns
to the play. He described themselves to have been em-
ployed is opening all the doors of the rooms and closets, the
drawees, Sze. and when they came to the plate chest, they
thought it contained linen • they opened it by drawing the
nails out of the hinges, and when they found it cuutained
all silver articles, the wrocbman exclaimed that was a good
booty, and waisted to take the whole of it, but he would nut
egret to that, and they only took a small part. On the next
morning they went to a Jew's ii, • court in Houudaditch,
where the watchman sold the articles of plate, sod only gave
him • 11. Batik note as his share.
James Braid, the footman, was then called before the
Magisbate, and before he was sworn as an evidence, Mr.
Conant cautioned him that lie was bOttlial to speak the truth,
and the whole truth, which he promise/ to do; but when
under examination he frequently appeared to speak reluct.
sally. He stated, that during the time his master and mis-
tress were from home, the Prisoner, James Dennis, slept
twice at the home previous the 15th September, on which
evening he and the conk went to the play together ; anal
that night his uncle also slept there. About a fortnight
afterwards he met the Prisoner, Morris, when be told him
be had something very particular to say to him, which was ,
of the utmost consequence ; and proceeded to say, that
his master's house had been rubl.ed of seine ptate, and
when his master returned from abroad be would find it
out, and if Ito he should be hanged ; he would tell him who
had done it if be would promise not tat split, which be pro-
mised not to do. He then made a similar confession to hint
as James Deunie, the uncle, bad alone to Davis, the con-
stable, at Chelmsford, and be said the poly way to avoid
either of their being suspected would be to pretend that the
huute was broken open and rubbed when Mm.. Clolow was
at home, but before that plan was put in execution be
must bare more of the plate, anal proposed that he should
let him in early some morning, sod be would take some more
out of the chest. To all this he promised to agree anal as-
sist in committing the second rotates y, and early uti Sunday
morning the 4th instant was the time fixed upon, when hr
let the watchman in before six o'clock, and Morris opened
the plate-chest as he had done before, by drawing the naiis
out of the hinges, and he took out a tankard, a coffee-pot,
some 11111111, ladles, and various other articles, with which lie
filled his pockets till they could nut bold any more, and he
carried the rest, and after the watchman had fastened up the
chest again, they left the house soon after six o'clock,
anJ the watchman said they would then go and sell the
plate to Old Mich, meaning the Prisoner, Michael
Levi, who lived in a court where all the people in it
were nut worth a penuy, they accordingly proceeded to a
court called Angel-enure, near Petticoat-lane where they
saw the Prisoner, Michael Levi, on the first-dour, his wife,
and a young mau sod a young woman. ton their entering
the room, the young man and young woman left the room.
The watchman tiles placed all the plate they had brought on
a table. Michael Levi asked if the Gentleman to whom it
belonged was dead. The watchman replied in the negative,
but said he was out of town, adding, " It was all ORAL"—
Michael Levi then put the plate into a box; nothing was
said by either of the Prisoners, Levi or the watchman, as to
the price or what was to be givcu by Levi fur the plate, but
he understood that Levi had nut money enough then to pay
for it, but would bring the money for the purchase to the
P‘isouer, Morris'a residence, in Caroline-street, Camden
Town at two o'clock ou that clay, where be was to meet biol.
He returned borne to Mr. Cluluw's house soon after nine
o'clock, anal at two o'clock hr went to the watchman's resi.
deuce, in Caroliue-sheast, where Michael Levi met him, who
produced a bundle of Batik notes, and gave them to the
watchman, and lie gave him six li. Batik notes, saying, that
was his share, Roil desired hlni to hide them where au pee-
wit' could find them ; some gin was sent fur, of which they
all had a glass. piling the time be was there be was sent
for, his mill having cause home. On his restart'
home lie took an opportunity of burying four of the Dank
notes in an earthen poi in his mastel's garden, one he ex-
pended, stud with the sixth he took his watch out of pledge.
His niaAress tieing at home wit the Tuesday following,
the watchtnau said that was the best night to put in execu-
tion the plan of pretendiog the house ass broken open and
rubbed of the plate, &e. by rubbers; and it was essential
that it should be done before his master returned from
abroad, anal he laid down the plan for carrying it into ext.
castles, also directing the took the part she was to act, by
telling the manufactured story of the two men being in her
heal-room, wills their faces blackened, :armed with pistols,
and threatening to shoot her. He accordingly acted as
the watchman directed. He lay down, but guarded against
falliagasleep. About one o'clock the watchman called hint by
a signal, whets be took a key, which bung up in the parlous,
and kt him its down the area steps. They took off their
shoes and proceeded to the roams where the plate chest was,
and carried it into the drawime.ruum and placed it en the
sofa, and then broke open the lock and took out the re.
remainder of the plate, wrapped it iii blankets, made the
mom is great confusion, lost out wane cold mutton as if
she thieves bail been regaliug themselves, and were packing
up the property ready to carry it off, when disturbed by the
watchman, and then they made their escape. He locked
up his master's dug in the ;sanity, agreeably to the desire
of the watchman, being fearful of his biting bin' and making
a noise. After they had placed every thing in a scene of
confusion as they wished, time watchman went out of the
house, and he undreesed himself to emwar as if just getting
out of bell, when the watchman Kaye the ahirtn, which he
(lid at half-past two o'clock, when he sprung his tattle vio-
lently in the siren', calling" thieves t• ice. when he went to
the door, partly dressed, told let him in. This man land been
a (servant its the house of Mr. Clulow upwards of three
years.
Minna On en, the conk, was sworn, first receiving a suitable
ail from the Slagistrate to speak the truth, which
was the only way abe could atone for her bei tttttt • conduct.
She admitted that she had been told of both the robberies
that had taken place. She met the watchman, she believed
it was on the evening pievious to the pretended breaking
open of the house and she objected to its taking place ill the
time he had appointed, but he replied it was nonsense, it
most take place then, nod it would very easily be got

window, and asked the le atclaunti II 1. a t was the matter, hr
replied, " Come down and see." He thought the watchman
