ROBBERY OF SILVER AND JEWELLERY. —A respectable
looking woman, named Kavanagh, who had an infant in
her arms; a young girl apparently about twelve years of
age, her daughter ; and James Macdonald, a boy, were
placed at the bar, having been remanded from last week, the
boy Macdonald charged on suspicion of stealing a quantity of
rough silver and jewellery, the property of his master, Mr.
John Webster, gold and silver ester, and the two Ka-
vanaghs charged with receiving the same, knowing it to
have been stolen.

It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Merchant, a silver-
smith, residing in High-street, Bloomsbury,that the younger
prisoner some short time since came to his shop, and of-
fered certain articles of jewellery and some rough silver
for sale. He questioned her, and she stated that the
silver belonged to her mother, the wife of a tailor residing
in Monmouth-street, and that they had been picked up in
the street. He gave information of the circumstance, and
the mother was found and questioned, and stated that she
purchased the articles of a boy, who came and offered them
for sale in her husband's shop, and that her daughter was
present during the transaction. They were then taken
into custody, and subsequently Mr. Webster identified the
property found as belonging to him. The boy, Macdo-
nald, who it appeared lived in his service, and who resided
very near to the residence of the Kavanaghs had, it appeared,
been for some time suspected of purloining property, and
he was now given into custody. There appeared to be a
link wanting in the chain of evidence to connect the boy
Macdonald with the other two prisoners, and they were
remanded in order, if possible, to supply that defect should
such be the case.

Mr. COMER said he should reluctantly be compelled to
admit the younger female prisoner as evidence.
Mr. Robinson (who appeared for the Kavanaghs)—
What 1 against her parent?
Mr. COMBE-1 feel the force of the objection, and there-
fore remand them ; but if parents will bring up their
children to a vicious course of life they must take the
consequences. _ _ _

Mr. Robinson applied to hare the Kavanaghs admitted
o bail, which was refused.

SPORTING IN CAITHNESS.—A Correspondent
who has lately ( September 12) addressed us from Caith-
ness, says that notwithstanding the brilliant success of the
southern sportsmen, those of the more northern quarters
have not been behind,. and that the quantity of grouse
in Caithness can nowhere be exceeded. Vast quan-
tities were slaughtered early in the season, but not-
withstanding this, abundance still remain. Mr. Macleod,
of Raasay, killed on the 2d of September, 41 to his
own gun, on the Langwell Moors. Captain Inge and
Sr F. A. Mackenzie, 'Jagged 901 brace, shooting toge-
ther, at Bramore, on the sth instant ; and Sir F.

same place, the property of Sir Ralph Anstruther. Va-
rious other parties base been nearly equally successful, and
are now returning southwards perfectly satisfied with the
sport they have enjoyed. Crops of all kinds are fast ad-
vancing to maturity—the whole barley crops will be cut
by the 15th, and oats were in some places also fit for the
sickle. Turnips are excellent, and fields of Swedes, of
