BOW•STREP-2,T.-(THIS DAY.)

Two well-known members of the swell mob, named
Marlin and Allen, were brought up by Constable
Wiiks of the F division, charged with stealing an um-
brella from the shop-door of Mr. Turner, silversmith
and jeweller, in Long Acre.
It appeared that the prisoners were seen last evening
by the boy Also attends to the sale of articles which
are exposed outside his master's shop, to approach the
door arm in arm ; and having suffered on a late occa-
sion from their visits, he crossed the street without
being observed by them. On seeing the articles un-
protected, the prisoner Martin slipped the umbrella
produced, off the hook, and in the most business-like
manner, he handed it to his companion. The lad in-
stantly ran over and gave information of the circum-
stance to his master, who followed the prisoners, and
took Allen into custody with the article in his posses-
sion, while the boy clung to the other until the police-
man came to his assistance.

The prisoners declined making any defence, and they
were both fully committed for trial.
Edward Langton, who said he had neither friend
nor habitation, was brought up by Luther, 51 I',
charged on suspicion with stealing six pewter pots.
The prisoner was met this morning at six o'clock, in
King-street, Covent-garden, and from information which
licd been received of his movements he was taken to the
station-house, where the property was found in his
pockets, buttoned up to avoid detection.
Mr. Brice M'Gregor, proprietor of the Foot Guards
suttling-bouse, Whitchad, identified four pint•pots ss
his property ; and Mr. Higgins, of the suttling-house,
Tilt-yard, Horse Guards, another, which had been
stolen from his premises.
The prisoner said he found the pots on a heap of
rubbish in the neghbourhood of the Strand.
Mr. TWYFORD ordered him to be fully committed for
trial, but to be brought up again on Monday next, when
the owners of the remaining articles would be in at-
tendance.

HATTON-GARDEN.-(THIS DAY.)

Elizabeth Godfrey, charged with stealing a sheet
and blanket from her furnished lodgings, and pledging
the same, an account of whose distressing case appeared
in The Sun of yesterday, was this morning discharged,
no prosecutor appearing against her.
It was understood that the articles had been rc-
redemed and restored to the owner.
RAFFLING IN PUBLIC-HOUSES. —A poor woman
applied to Mr. GREENWOOD for a summons against a
publican, named Johnson, for illegally detaining a hand-
kerchief.

Understanding that the transaction originated in a
raffle, the Magistrate ordered Johnson, who resides in
the neighbourhood of the office, to be sent
for. At a subsequent part of the day he
made his appearance, and the woman stated
that the handkerchief in question belonged to her, that
she put it up to be raffled for at Johnson s house ; the
putter•up and the winner each to spend a shilling in
liquor ; that twenty-five persons had rdllcd for it, of
whom only eight had paid, and that as she was unable
to spend a shilling, Johnson had detained the handker-
chief.

• Mr. GREENWOOD severely reprimanded Johnson for
suffering raffling to go on in his house. If he were
convicted of the offence his licence would be in jeopardy.

Johnstone said he was not aware of the circum-
stances, and that he would take care such doings should
not again take place. He would restore the handker-
chief to the applicant.
The parties then left the office.
