Thomas, Coston, aged 19, a young man of moat re'
speetable appearance, was capitally indicted for stealing toll
ounce.' and a-half of grain gold, value 151/. Out, pre-
perty of Mr. Wohlmaxus.
It appeared from the evidence of the prooeentor, who i°
a jeweller, in Clorkenwell, that the prisoner, ou the lith
March, went into his shop and asked for two dens. of pore
gold ; whilst this was being got ready, he snatched up the,
gold named in the indictment and ran away. A cry
stop thief was immediately raised and the prisoner seat
secured.

A host of most respectable witnesces gare the prisonef
an excellent character for honesty and general good conduct
from the time of his infancy to the moment he committed the
robbery. They all said they were quite at a lots to con-
ceive what inducement the prisoner had to commit mesh I
theft.

Mr. Justice PARE summed up, ati4.l the Jury lame"
diately returned a verdict of Guilty.
Mr. Justice PARK enquired if the prisoner's father %vs'
in court, and On being answered in the affirmative, hi'
Lordship directed him to he sliewn into the back room, 0
the same time observing that there must he some mystery
in this case which had not been unravelled. His Lord'
ship shortly afterwards left the Court, and had a ()miler-
cation with Mr. Coston; on his return he ordered the
•
judg:nent upon the prisoner to be reepited.
The prisoner's father is a very respectable tradesman
the City.
George Talansore was capitally Indicted for stealing
pony, the property of Mr. Man.

The prisoner had been in the employ of the proses-oat West Haan. On the morning of Good Friday the
puny was missed from Mr. Raikirs's fielJ. Abeer tM
o'clock on that morning the prisoner wins going up White'
chapel with the pony, and enquired of a policeman wet
Mr. Da, isle lived, as he wanted him to kill the pony
The policeman said, it is a pity to kill it, there is no doe"
you may get seine one to buy it. Prisoner replied "
that will not do, I am ordered by my master to have it
killed, or else I must take it back again." The police--
man not being satisfied ,with this account took him into
custody, and on the following day the pony was owned
by the prosecutor.
The prisoner (an elderly man), made a long ramblinf
defence, in which he stated that he had been instructed to
take the pony to Whitechapel, by a man that he met on
the road.

Mr. Justice GAzitiati summed up. Verdict, Guilty,

Barnadier, (aged 19) was capitally indiett4
for breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Benjamin
Strippling, and stealing a eoat and two pair of trowsel*
value half a_crown.

It appeared from the evidence that the prittoner (a most
wretched looking object) went to the prosecetor's hoe"
(who also, from the appearance ef his wife, seemed to be
struggling with adversity), and bold them that there Ws*
some charity bread being given away opposite her father°
house. This was welcome news to the proseesitnr,6
family, and his wife immediately cleaned herself
children and went to solicit some of it. She was, hole'
ever, much disappointed to find the prisoner's repreeents-
tions false—no bread was to he given away, and she ro"
turned sorrowfully home. Her troubles, however, 413
not end here ; for, on going into the bed room, she found
that the prisoner had been there iu her absence, 03
stolen her husband's clothes. It was proved by two iit3
children that the prisoner buret the door open, and "
that he was going to sell the clothes at the regnest of the
prosecutor.
The prisoner denied that lie had stolen the articles.
Mr. Justice PA ILK summed up. His Lordship said that
a rubbery of a poor person like the prosecutor in any other
place than a Court of Jnetic* would and ought to excite
disgust. But the jury would on the present occasion
leave out of their consideration the situation of life of the
parties. Verdict Guilty—Death.
Mr. Justice PARS—Young man, this is an extrowitlY
bad case.
