BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two notorious thieves, named Wm. Sawyers and John Chambers,
were placed at the bar by Pocock, of the F division, who stated that at
eight o'clock last night he observed the prisoners in company proceeding
along the Strand, and having a bundle in their possession. Having
questioned Sawyers what he carried, he said he did not know, but it was
given to him by a gentleman, to leave it at the Treasury. As he had
the prisoners in custody on a charge of smashing last week, he con-
ducted them to Scotland-yard, and on turning round he observed
Chambers attempting to make his escape, but he was instantly appre-
hended by a policeman who happened to be coming in the opposite
direction, when he made an effort to swallow some counterfeit shillings
he took from his pocket.

Mr. Francis Broughton, solicitor, Falcon-square, Aldcrsgate.street,
identified the writing desk produced as his property. On opening it
there were several valuable papers and memorandums deposited in it,
and he could not account for the manner the prisoners became pos-
sessed of it unless they contrived to effect an entrance into the parlour
where it lay, by the hall door, which had been incautiously left open for
a few minutes.

The prisoners made a rambling defence, and
Mr. MINsHULL ordered them to be fully committed for trial,

Leopold Hyman, a foreigner, was brought up by Kirkman, a police-
man, charged with having in his possession a quantity of obscene prints.
Mr. Pritchard, from the Society for the Suppression of Vice, was in
attendance.

George Clarke, a painter, deposed that he was in a shop in Wych-
street, yesterday evening, when he saw him offer the prints for sate to a
gentleman, who declined to purchase them.
Mr. MiNsnura. enquired—Did he expose them in any street, highway,
public road, or place ?
Witness said he did not ; the circumstance occurred inside of the
shop, and they were spread all over the counter.
Mr. MINSHULL told the prisoner he had come to England for a
very bad purpose, and after referring him to the- Act, ordered him
to give 24 hours' notice of bail, two housekeepers in 251. each, and
himself in 501., to answer the charge at the Sessions.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)

A WARNING TO APPRENTICES.—A master brought up his appren-
tice before the Magistrates, complaining that on several occasions he had
kept away from his work. He did not wish the boy to be punished, but
to have it impressed upon him that if the offence WS repeated he would
incur a penalty.

Mr. CONANT said if the boy appeared again before him for a similar
offence, he would certainly punish him. This once he would look over
it, hoping that it would operate as a salutary warning for the future.
The boy, after promising not to be guilty of the same fault again,
then retired with his master.
