MARLBRW-STREET—(II HIS DAY.)
A COUPLE OF PICKPOCKETS.— George Clark and
John Redding, two welt-known characters were brought
up for re-examination, charged with attcreptir.g to pick
pockets in Waterloo-place on the night of the illu-
minations.

Murrell, 80 C, stated that en the night of the 13th
instant he was walking down Waterloo-place, when his
attention was attracted to the irisoners, by seeing them
attempt to pick the pockets of sqveral gentlemen who
were in the crowd. He watched them for some time,
and eventually took them into custody. On arriving at
the station he searched Redding, and found upon him a
bunch of twelve keys upon a steel ring. The keys con-
sist nioslly of Chubb's and Bramah's, and are worth to
the owner about 51. On the other prisoner he found a
book but nothing else.
In defence Redding said ho found the keys; and they
both denied attempting to pick pockets.
Mr. HARDWICK said, if publicity were given to the
case, it might meet the eye cf the owner of the keys ;
he should, therefore remand the prisoners till Friday
next.

IRELAND.
THE POLITICAL EXILES.

The deputation to present the memorial in favour of
the
political convicts of 1848 waited upon the Lord-
Lieutenant at 12 o'clock yesterday. His Excellency's
answer was extremely unfavourable as regarded the
object of the memorialists. " Though convicted of high
said his Excellency, " the lives of Mr. O'Brier,
associates were spated by the exercise of the
Royal prerogative, and they, as well as the persons
the penalty of transportation for treason-
at rnoedya bael
his v ,p'' r
ablewilod
practices,incurre have been treated with unusual indulgence
in the places of their exile; even the measures of restraint,
rendered necessary by their own conduct, have been
of short duration. It is, however, 'to be regretted that
these acts of lenity have not been attended with the
effects that might have been expected, but that, on the
contrary, repeated attempts to escape have taken place—
in one case with success ; and that none of the persons,
on whose behalf my interference is solicited, have ex-
pressed contrition for their crime, or manifested any
sign of gratitude or loyalty to the gracious Sovereign
whom they havo so grieviously offended, and to whose
clemency some of them are indebted for their lives.
Under these circumstances I do not consider myself
justified in recommending the prayer of the memorial to
her Majesty's favourable consideration."
