THAMES- OFFICE.

Yesterday a creole was committed by Mr. COMBE for re-
examination, charged with burglariously entering the dwelling.
house of John Tingay, a sandman, of Henry-street, Limehouse,
and stealing a suit of clothes and a clock therefrom.
Yesterday a fellow named Thomson, in the garb of a sailor,
was committed by Mr. COMBE for final examination, charged
with robbing several mariners of their wearing apparel in a
very audacious: manner.

This day is the anniversary of the Irish Union in
1801, and the birth-day of the late Edmund Burke, who
was born in 1730.

On Tuesday evening, as Caroline Morris, a poor
woman, living at No. 6, Hereford-street, Lisson-grove, was
crossing the New-road, near Baker•street, she was knocked
down by a gentleman's carriage, the wheels of which passed
over her. On being taken up she was immediately con-
veyed to the Marylebone Infirmary, where, on examination.
it was discovered that her skull was fractured, her right leg
broken, and that she had sustained other serious injuries. It
is not known to whom the carriage belonged.
On Saturday last Samuel Lennox of Low Hesket,
in this county, innkeeper, was committed to our gaol on
the charge of having been concerned in the murder of
Thomas Hunter, a carrier, who our reader will remember
was cruelly murdered in November, 1837, near Orton, in
Westmoreland. The charge against the prisoner Lennox
was heard before Major Wilde on Tuesday last, when it
appeared that the sole accusation against him at present
was confined to his voluntary confession of the crime, which,
it is alleged, he made several weeks ago to one David Little,
of Low Hesket, and with whom it would appear that the
prisoner was not upon very good terms. David Little, in
his examination, said—l have known the prisoner, Samuel
Lennox, since a little before Whitsuntide last He said
he had shot the Kendal carrier ; he said John Wills and Ed-
ward Sissen were present at the time, and were as bad as
him. Nobody was present when he told me this. After
the examination had been taken the prisoner was re-
moved to the Appleby Gaol. Wills and Sisson are both
in custody.—Carlisle Patriot.

AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS.—We stated, a
few days ago, that in Sussex the wages of the agricultural
labourers had been raised. It may be considered, there-
fore, as a well-conducted county ; yet we find in the
Brighton Patriot of Tuesday the following paragraph
" A sheep was stolen a few nights since from a field in the
occupation of Mr. Mills of Herstmonceaux. The robbery
was committed within a few yards of the dwelling-house.
On Saturday se'nnight a sheep was stolen from a field in
the possession of L. Upperton, Esq., of Thakeham, near
Storrington. No clue has been obtained to the thieves,
who left a portion of the slaughtered animal on the spot.
On the previous night a tea-dealer travelling between
Mayfield and Frant was waylaid, rendered insensible by a
blow he received from the foot-pad, and robbed of twenty-
six shillings in silver. The thief escaped. On the 15th
instant, as Puttock, a carrier between this place and Til-
lington, was returninghome from Brighton, he was attacked
by two men, when near Wiston gate, dragged from his
cart, in which he was riding at the time, and robbed of
what money he had about his person, ampunting to several
pounds, and with which the men got clear off. On Thurs-
day last a young woman was brought before Mr. Seymour
at our bench of Magistrates, charged with endeavouring to
obtain articles of food from a grocer at Kemp Town, under
false pretences. The prosecutor not appearing to urge
the matter, and the prisoner pleading that great distress
drove her to commit the crime, the worthy Magistrate
directed that she be discharged, and that the officers lay
her case before Mr. Thorncroft, the Assistant Overseer,
with a view to obtaining relief for her. On Thursday'
night the farm-yard of Mr. John Gray was robbed of some
fatting chickens and fowls, and eggs. On Friday night the
house of Mr. Norman, grocer, of Falmer, between this
place and Lewes, was broken into, and a quantity of wear-
ing apparel, some silver spoons, British wines, two loaves
of bread, and other provisions, stolen therefrom. On the
night of Saturday se'nnight, two wether lambs were stolen
from the premises of Mr. Homewood, of Littlehorsted.
The animals, which were skilfully slaughtered, were killed
on the spot, and the entrails left behind. Notwithstanding
an intermediate sessions was held at Lewes for the trial of
prisoners only so lately as the 08th ultimo, there are now
thirty-four prisoners in the Lewes House of Correction
awaiting their trials."
