garet Connor were charged with stealing five French shawls
of the value of £35 from the shop of Mr, Edgloy, 88, Oxford-

Thomas Grant, an assistant to the prosecutor, deposed
that on the previous evening the two prisoners entered the
shop, and Carey said she wanted to look at some dark
mantles, He took them then upstairs and showed them
several, but none would suit. Connor then called him
to the other end of the room, and while he was speak-
ing to her he saw through a glass Carey put five shawls

from off the counter in the show room under her shaw

lie afterwards asked one of his fellow assistants whether he
had removed any shawls, and at that moment Carey dropped
the shawls at her feet. On taxing the prisoners with steal-
ing the shawls, they said "it was a mistake," and that he
must have knocked them down.

In answer to Mr. Yardiey, the witness said the prisoners
on entering the shop said they wanted a cheap mantle.
Nathan Leech, 324 A, proved taking the prisoners into
custody, and said ho found the shawls lying at the feet of

"RESPECTABLE PERSONS" COMMITTED FOR ATTEMPT-
ING TO PICK POCKETS.—John Logie, Maria Logie, John
Blanc, and James Webb were charged with attempting to
pick pockets in Oxford-street.

Sergeant White, 16 D, and King, 76 D, proved seeing the
prisoners in Oxford-street the previous afternoon attempt-

ing to pick the pockets of ladies looking in the windows of
Messrs. Grant and Gask, silk mercers, and other trades-
men in Oxford-street, On taking the prisoners into cus-
tody the man Logic exclaimed, " It is a piece of insolence
to stop respectable persons like us in the street."

Blanc said all he had done was to walk with his hands
in his own pockets.

Logie (the man) said that at the time the officer saw him
outside Grant and Gask's he was trying to get rid of his
wife (Mario Logie), as he was going to present a piece of
music to a young lady who his wife was rather jealous of.
He could assure his worship it all arose from a misunder-
standing on the part of the officers.

Watts, 181 N, said he had known the Logios for 10 years
as companions of thieves. They were both convicted of a
robbery at the Agricultural Hall in 1862, and committed

THAMES.

A DESTRUCTIVE GREEK,—Joseph Pietro, a Greek
seaman. was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with
breaking a large pane of plate glass in the window of the
Rose and Crown public-house, in Rateliffe-highway, last

man, the barman and waiter at the Rose and Crown, that
the prisoner was passing, in and out of the house, for two
hours, last night, He was intoxicated and very noisy, and
was repeatedly requested to desist and go home to his
boarding house. He took a stone from the inside of his
dress and threatened the barman, and struck a woman.
At last he was ejected from the house, and immediately
03' broke a large pane of plate glass valued at £2. The land-
I lord of the house said he was not insured.

Mr. Woolrych ordered the prisoner to pay a fine of £3
and £2, the value of the glass, and, in default, six weeks'
imprisonment. A few minutes afterwards the magistrate
said he had reconsidered the matter. He would suspend
his judgment until this evening. He directed Turner, 32

who had been struck by the prisoner. He also directed
