SOMETHING NEW.

EVERYBODY should ask for CLEAVE'S
PENNY GAZETTE, illustrated with Cuts, comic and
satirical,
By C. J. GRANT,
And containing a complete fund of amusement in summer or
winter, for young or old, grave or gay, which will never get stale by
keeping, but " drive away the blues," and make you laugh and
grow fit
" Our object in producing our penny paper was to furnish a class
of readers for whom we had long, and, we hope, not fruitlessly,
klioured, with a cheap unstamped, comprising much of the useful
and the agreeable. and if we may judge of the result by the appro-
batory testimony we have from ail quarters received, we have not
wholly failed of our object. Although politics are proscribed to us
a large field of investigation, comprising much of philosophy and
social economy, is left open to our inquiries : and our purpose is to
turn what, we may here foil to the beat and most profitable account
in reference to the improvetnont and well-being of our fellow-men.
If our friends think we deserve well for our purpose, we ask their
co-operation in carrying it out. We have no reason to complain
of a paucity of readers ; but if each one we now have would procure
us another, they would so far strengthen our hands as to enable us
to add greatly to the power of the Penny Gazette, by considerable
improvements in a cheerfullyts We say thus much from a
senpse of duty and leave ourselves in the hands of our
friends."

IMPROVEMENTS IN SERJEANT'S-INN.—The new
buildings in Sri eant's-Inn arc in a state of groat forwardaess,
4nd arrangements have been made with the Government for
their occupation as the pubic offices of the Court of Common
Pleas, which at present are scattered about in three or four
places. This alteration wi.l afford an accommodation to the
;nealbers of the profession long required. The new chambers
.vlrich have been erected for the Judges are also such as to
command tLe approval of all persons. The profession are
largely indebted to the Learned Chairman of the Middlesex
Sessions (Sirjeant Adams), to whose indefatigable, indeed un-
ceasing, exertions these mueh desired improvements are owing,
:knd who, if report speak truly, is even now negotiating with
the Government with the view of procuring the adaptation of
the Hall of Serjeants',lnn to the use of the Equity sittings of
the Court of Exchequer, and fer the further purpose of havim,
the requisite accommodation for counsel and solicitors. The
whole expense ed currying those henolielitl improvements into
•ffect will not exceed the sum of 2,0001. So wormly do both
oranches of the legal profession enter into the proposition of
Learned Seadeanf., that t:lev have forwardel a memorial to
he Lords of the Treasury, through Lord Abinger, the Ciri..f
Limn upon the subject. It is much to be hoped that nu
:rarty or petty spleen will be allowed to prevent a plan in
very way so greatly to be desired, from being carried into effect.

On' Wednesday last, at half pa t five o'clock, wer't tt
assist his wife in clean'ng up the offices, and lo tnd the
prisoner, who had been formerly employed in that way,
ta.L'ter to her. The prisoner offered to sweep out one of
the OffiCes, and asked witness to go for a pot of half-and-
half. He refuge(' to do to, and got a hint from his wife to
latch the prisoner, who was after no good, as there was
,!iron to expert front the rattling of some keys in the
lark. Wit-hoc:is nroeured a light, and found the prisoner
at one of the desks. He pushed her away, and found
that the desk tv::s open, and that there was in it a tin case
onntaining some small keys, which it was evident the pri
sown- had removed in the dark, and which were the keys
of the desk in the Coast-office.
The solicitor to the Custom House slated that fUr
some time complaints had been made that plunder had
been committed in the offices, and it appeared to be
most probable that 01z.: thefts had been acted by pa--
sons who had had opportuniti.s of knowing the practice
,f the officers. The prisoner liad beau pfetiously em-
ployed in the establishment, end hav:iig been discharged
yt consequence of sosp'eion entertained of her •integrity,
bad no business whatever upon the premises.. .

The prisoner said she was asinuocent as the baby unborn
.of ill-ntention. She knew -nothing of the desk, and
never hard or saw any let's and as for money being
safe in her presence, she well rcmmbered when she
was employed in the offices having seen sov,rAgn upon
soverign lying about, and she used to mention how im-
proper it was to leave money in people's way.
Mr. Haste bad never in his life hear.l that money was
lying about the desks, and believed that nothing of tin
'cind ever took plaea.

The LORD 111:.soron had no doubt whatever that it had
been the intention of the prisoner to plunder the de4ks.
His Lordship then sentenced her to Bridewell for one
month for baying been upon the premises under circunt-
(tances of suspicion, with intent to commit a robbery.
A young min of respectable appearance w brcught up
by JosephKilby, the beadle of Devonslire-square, Bishops-'
gate. The beadle went to Leader.hal!-market on Satur-
day night with his nife and si,ter, for tha purpase of mak-
ing a purchase. He, however, was not long in the plati!:,
when he found the left haul of the prisoner in his
!less's) right-hand outside coat pocket, where there hap-
pened to be nothing but keys. He immediately collared
the prisoner, and a woman came to the door of one of the
shops and stated that the place was ove•run with thieves
and bad characters, and witness tf,ok away the prisoner,
who (lid all he could to induce bin to let him go, to the
Compter. The father of the prig mar, having aftet wards
ascertained where, the young man was, told witness that
the lad's mother was in fits about the bu,iaess, and then
witness, after considerable trouble, suceeeded in procuring
an Alderman's temporary discharge on Sunday right.
The LORD MAYOR (to the beadle)—Are you sure that
he had his hand in your pocket P Baadle—l am sure
of it.

The prisoner most solemnly assured the LORD MAYoR
that he never touched the beadle until the beadle collared
him. The fact was, he saw two women following the man,
and judging that the best way out of a crowd was to folloW
an officer, he did so, and, to his greAt surprise, he felt
himself suddenly collared by the beadle, who immediately
afterwards charged him with having attempted to pick his
pocket.
The LORD MAYOR (to the beadle)—Had you that uni-
form coat upon you at the time ? Beadle-1 had.
The LORD MAYOR—Very odd that a young man should
attempt to pick an officer's pocket,
13 adle—Ho had his hand in my pocket, I swear.
The Rev. Mr. flake, Rector of Rotherhithe, believed

there was not in London a more respectable and honest
young man 'than the prisoner ; and asked the beadle
whether he had not said to Anderson, a turnkey, in the
Compter, that he might have mistaken the young man ?
Beadle—No. I said that at times mistakes might have
been nvide ; but there was no mistake in this. The father
of the lad offered him anything to let it be settled.
The prisoner's lather—l deny that altogether.
Mr. Blake could brine- a hundred respectable persons
from Rotherhithe to testify to the excellence of this young
man's character.

Mr. C. K. Cooke, of Rotherbitho, schoolmaster, knew
the prisoner from the lad's infancy, and was convinced that
nobody was more incapable of the conduct attributed to
him. A more horpzt and upright young man could not
be found.

The LORD MAYOR—There must be a mistake upon
the part of Ihe officer. Taking all the circumstances into
consideration, I ih'nk• it cannot be otherwise. There is
not the least imputation upon the charatt r of the young
roan, but this will operate upon him as a caution to koep
out of crowds ; it will &so show him the necessity of
ma:nt dining r good character in so,iiet y.—The prisoner then
left tho justice-room with his friends.
