THE BIOGRAPIIY OF A THIEF.—On Thursday,
William Graham. alias Campbell, aged 30, was
charged, at the Thames Police Court, with having stolen a
purse containing 12 or 14 shillings from the wife of a me-

having taken place on the evening of the 24th ult. at the
Stepney railway station.—Police-constable Dunaway said
that in 1843, when the prisoner was only nine years of age,
he was convicted of stealing a purse and money from a lady.
His father was convicted at the same time of feloniously
receiving the property,' knowing it to have been stolen.
The boy had been in custody before, and he was sentenced
to six months' hard labour. His father was sentenced to
seven years' transportaion, and died shortly afterwards in
prison. In 1853 the prisoner was tried for stealing from
the person, and sentenced to three years' penal servitude.
On that occasion 15 previous convictions for felony
were proved against him. In 1858 he was again con-
victed of stealing from the person, and sentenced to five
years' penal servitude, He was liberated with a ticket of
leave in the early part of 1862, A few weeks afterwards
the prisoner, was summarily convicted at the Mansion
House, and sentenced to six months' hard labour, for
stealing a watch. On the expiration of that sentence he
was arrested by order of the Home Secretary, and sent
back to the Millbank Penitentiary to complete his five
years' penal servitude. He was liberated on the 9th of
last month. He had been living since his liberation from
the Millbsnk Prison in a tieves's colony in Bethnal Green.
