A man of the name of Pilgrim, who had held an import-
ant situation in the service of the East ludic Company,
was charged with robbing his lodgings in Chaudler-street,
Oxford-market, of various articles of bcddiug, fac. the pro-
perty of Mrs. Eglestouc. It appeared that the Prisoner had
pledged the articles enumerated at various pawnbrokers,
and be had sold some of the duplicates.
It was stated that the Prisoner bad acted dishonestly from
the most abject distress, his wife and children not having
the means of abating their hunger. It was no longer than
Wednesday, that one of his wretched children was removed
• corpse to the parish workhouse for interment, as the pa.
rests had nut the means of burying it, and the child bad
lino more than a week in the house. The wretched man un
being apprehended, esdeavunred to commit suicide. On
Mr. Jones, an officer of St. George's, informing him the
nature of his visit, be retired to a cupboard, took op •
razor, and drew it across his throat. The officer seised his arm
and saved his life. There was an incision across the throat
which required surgical aid. Under these distressing cir-
cumstances, the parties were nut desirous of pressing the
prosecution further, providing the Prisoner gave the neces-
sary information where the articles could be gut, sod he
left the Office to do so.
The Prisoner was soon after bronght hack, it having been
ascertained that he bad opened a trunk by ins ansof a pick-
lock key, and emptied it of its conteuts of lines, &c. He
was, therefore, committed.

could give me uo relief, but advised me to apply to some
person who studied that complaint alone. One day leading
