FORTUIiATE CAPTURE Or NOTORIOUS THIEVES,—A
young man, very respectably-dressed, who gave the name
of Henry Thurley, was charged with stealing a basket of
plate from the residence of the Rev. Mr. Margeson.
Elizabeth Prestige, servant at No. 3, Green's-race, Chel-,
sea, said that on the 31st of March she was cleaning the
street door-steps, at a little after 9 in the morning, when she
saw the prisoner, and two other men. She observed them
go to several houses, and two of them came to her. One of
them was the prisoner, who enquired whether she had any
broken glass to mend, and replied that she had not. At
that moment another of the three men, named Gellings,
called the prisoner, who, with his other companion, then
went away with him.

The police informed the magistrate that Geilongs, a noto-
rious thief, was already in custody, and remanded on this

charge.
Prisoner put several questions to the witness, who swore
most positively that he was the man, which it seemed at
last by the form of the questions the prisoner himself did
not deny.
Emma French said she was housemaid to the Rev, Mr.
Margeson, and a basket of plate value £2O wad stolen from
her nester's house, between 9 and 10 on the morning of
the 31st. She had brought it down two hours previously,
and placed it in a cupboard in the front kitchen, the door of
which was left unlocked. Access could be obtained to the
kitchen from the area.

The police said that the prisoner was well known to them
as one of the most expert thieves in London in robberies of
this class. Further evidence could ba produced against
him.
lie was remanded.

coffee at No. 10 warehouse.
