as labourers, were indicted for burglary in the dwelling.
houi.e of Thomas Hampton, and stealing therein a watch
and other articles, value 31., his property.
The prosecutor was a publican in Ebury-street, Pim-
lico, and the robbery was effected by entering his pre-
mises after midnight and abstracting the above property
from the till. On leaving, the prisoners were seen by a
policeman, who, having his suspicions about them, took
them into custody, and the money was found in their
possession.
Both the prisoners were well known to the police.
They were found Guilty, and Murphy was transported
for ten years, and Williams for seven.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
ROBBERY BY A CRILD.—Mary Ann King, a little
girl, about ten years of age, was placed at the bar before
Mr. Bingham, charged with having stolen a diamond
ring, value 301., the property of Mrs. Constance Richard-
son, 19, Bruton-street, Berkeley-square, and James
Colville, a butcher, was charged on suspicion of having
received the same, knowing it to have been stolen.
The prosecutrix, who was much affected while giving
her evidence, stated that the mother of the girl was
in her service, and the child was allowed to visit her
On Monday last, her (prosecutrix) maid asked her to
look over her jewellery as she was afraid some of the
rings were missing. Complainant accordingly looked
them over and missed a gold ring, set with diamonds.
Her maid then said Mary Ann, meaning the child, must
have taken it. Witness then went down stairs, and on
seeing tho child taxed her with stealing the ring, and
told her if she would say what she had done with it,
she would not have so severe a punishment. The child
then said she• had taken the ring and sold it for
a penny to a butcher boy in Davies-street. A constable
was sent for, and she was given into custody. Witness
added that she had missed several other articles ofjewel-
lery, and had no doubt the girl had taken them.
Emma Freeman, ladies-maid to the prost•cutrix, said
last night, in consequence of directions she received from
her mistress, she went with the child to a butcher's shop
in Davies-street, and asked her if she could point out the
man to whom she had sold the ring. The child then
pointed cut the defendant, and said that was the young
man to whom she bud sold the ring for a penny. The
defendant then ask, d witness where she Caine from, and
on her saying 19, Bruton-street, he said that is right,
fetch you the ring; he did so, and witness called a
constable, and gave bin in charge.
C 11l proved taking the girl into custody. He subse-
quently went with last witness to Davies-street, and
took the man in charge. On the way to the station, the
male defendant said he did not know what it was (sillud-.
ing to the ring), and thought it was one of the common
Ones.
Inspector Parke, C division, said, on reading the
charge over to the prisoner last night, he said it was
perfectly right; ho
had purchased the ring of a girl for
a penny. The girl told him that she had picked it up in
the street, and he, thinking it was a common one, showed
it to his mistress, who told him it was not worth three-
pence. Mr. Parke added that he believed the prisoner 4, bad no guilty knowledge of the ring, and that he was ignorant of its value.
Mr. Strang, the wife of a butcher in Davies-street, in
whose employ the male defendant is, corroborated the
latter portion of the inspector's statement.
Mr. BINGHAM said his notion was that the male de-
fendant had purchased the ring under the circumstances
mentioned by Mr. Parke, and agreed to take defendant's
recognizance to appear this day week. The child in the
meanwhile will be tout to the House of Correction,
where she will be properly taken care of.

CLERKEN WELL.—(THIS DAY.)
henry Walling, dressed in the garb of a horse-dealer,
was placed at the bar before Mr.Tyrwhitt, charged with
having a horse, saddle, and bridle, valued at 201., in his
possession, well knowing them to have been stolen.
Mr. Thomas Bacon, a livery stable keeper, stated that
yesterday afternoon he lent a horse to a person of the
name of Adkins, to go to Peckham, and in the course of
a short time he received a letter, stating that his horso
was left at the prisoner's stables. Be went to his stable,
and seeing the horse there, he asked him for the horse.
but he refused to give it up, stating that he bud bought it
and had given 4/. 19e, for it. The horse was worth 181.
lie had known the man who had borrowed the horse for
some time.
The prisoner in defence said he had given full value
for the horse, and therefore he refused to give the
horse up.
Mr. TYRWIIITT said he should discharge the prisoner,
but he thought the horse ought to be given up, for the
prosecutor would, without doubt, get it if he summoned
him to the County Court. He thought both ought to
make some arrangement, and take the man who had
sold the horse.

the salary of Mr. Edward James, the recently appointed as-
sessor to the Court of Passage, shall be 4001. per annum, in-
stead of 500/. as heretofore. Since the extension of the
County Court system the bu,linesa of the asseaeofa court has
grogly decremed.

This pretty place of amusement closed its winter
Friday last. The spirited manager, Mr.
Hooper, conveyed his thanks to the audience in a
very elegant valedictory address, which was enthu-
siastically cheered. We have had occasion previously
to speak in terms laudatory of the manner in which
some of our best dramas have been produced and
acted at this house ; and it is our pleasing duty to
say that the closing scene was in every way equal, if
not superior, to the commencement of
the season.
The company, from a better acquaintance with each
other's peculiarities, worked more in harmony, and
