CHARGE or ROl3/kiRY OF Morair.—Samuel Clarke,
a eartna.n, of 44, Duke-street, Minch:ster-square,
was charged before Mr. Long with stealing the sum of
41., the property of James B.tiley, carman, 22, Spring'
street.
Mr. Handley attended for the prisoner.
The prosecutor stated that in the month of July,
1853, he had instructions to move a large quantity of
property, including above 3,000/. worth of plate, from
the residence of Sir John Kirkland, Bart.' Portman
square, to his country mansion at Patcham Park,
Sussex. He engaged two vans, and entrusted the pri-
son er with one of them. Each of the vans was drawn
by two horses. On the day following the departure of
the vans he received information from a policeman that
they wen lockedup at Tooting.
Mr. Long—Where did you find the vans
Prosecutor —ln the yarn of the Bull Inn, Tooting.
Mr. Long—Did you see the prisoner there
Prosecutor—No, sir. I have not heard of him till
last Sunday, when I was told where be was to be found,
upon which I gave information to a policeman, who
took the prisoner into cu-tody. I gave the prisoner 4/.
for the expenses attending the journey down to Patcham•
park, and I charge him with stealing that sum of
money.

Mr: Efandley—Was not the prisoner drunk when you
gave charge the of the vans to him !

Prosecutor—He wai not. Was it likely that I should
have entrusted 4,0001. worth of goods to a drunken
man?

Mr. Handley—Did not the property reach Pateham-
park in f• a, fety ?
Prosecutor—Yes ; the other man took the Tans
do wn.

Policeman Burk, D 248, who apprehended the pri-
soner, stated that in going to the station•house he
observed that he was drunk arid lost the 4/.
Mr. Long said that he should send the case to the
sessi,ins.

Mr. Handley remarked be hoped the magistrate would
not take that course, as he could nrivg forward wituesseo,
if the case was adjourned, who would show that the
prisoner was drunk and lost the money while in that
state,

Mr. Long—lle should, and could, have returned the
money during the last 12 months.
Mr. Handley said that there was a policeman of the
V division present, who would prove that the prisoner
and the carman in charge of the other van got drunk,
and that on the night they left Portman-square they
were rolling about on Wandsworth Common, where the
vans were found without any one to take care of them.
The prosecutor at this stage of the proceedings said
that he did not wish to hurt the man.

Mr. Long—D.' you intend to withdraw tho charge
Prosecutor—l do sir. i
Mr. Long—Then he s discharged.
The prisoner left the bar.
ROBBERY BY A YOUTH.—Edwin Cheers, aged 16, wag
charged with stealing a large quantity of property, con-
slating of stays, muslin cloth, &c., the property of Mr.
Wm. Haynes, No. 102, Edgeware-road.
The prosecutor said that the prisoner was in his ser-
vice some months ago, and that a few days since he
absconded. Soon after he left, he (prosecutor) disco-
vered that he had been robbed to a considerable extent,
and he found 42 duplicates in a drawer of the room oc-
cupied by the prisoner.
Mr. Long—Do the duplicates relate to any property-
you have lost ?
Prosecutor—They do, sir. I have been to some of
the pawnbrokers where some of my property has been
pledged, and I have identified several articles. I belieVe
I have lost much mire.

Tine, 40 D, who apprehended the prisoner, said that
on the prisoner being conveyed to the police-station be
observed, " I took the things, and am very sorry fur
it."

Mr. Long—Are any of the pawnbrokers here ?
Policeman— No, sir.
The prisoner was then remanded for the attendance
of the pawnbrokers.
