CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

Yesterday John Smith was indicted for breaking into the
dwelling-house of Mathew and William Filmer, pawn-
brokers, residing in Kent-street, In the parish of St.
George's Southwark, and stealing thereout a lady's gold
neck chain, of the value of 81., a coral necklace, a silver
watch•guard, and a gold ear-ring, value 21., their property.
The prosecutor identified the several articles as being his
property.
Mr. Baron BOLLAND summed up the evidence, and the
Jury returned a verdict of Guilty.

NEW COURT.
Thomas Lawrence Jones, a person of respectable ap-
pearance and connections, was indicted for receiving the
sum of 601., for and on account of James Sharpe Giles, to
whom he was clerk and servant, and then afterwards se-
creted, embezzled, and stole the same. A conference hav-
ing been held, the prisoner was brought up to plead, and
upon the indictment being read he confessed judgment by
pleading guilty, thereby throwing himself on the mercy of
the Court.
Mr. BODKIN, for the prosecution, said the respectable
gentlemen whom he represented were anxious that the
prisoner might be dealt with in the most lenient manner pos-
sible ; and under the circumstances he was instructed to
recommend him to mercy. The Court said the application
should be attended to.
John Kaley was indicted for stealing a Mackintosh
frock, the property of George Warrington, and Win.
Tuz ner and Wm. James were charged with receiving the
same, knowing it to be stolen.
The prosecutor on the day of the robbery saw the pri-
soner Kaley run off with his frock from the Birmingham
Railway. He pursued him to a beer-shop at Hillingdon,
where he found him with the other two prisoners. Tur-
ner went into an outhouse, and James followed and put
the frock on him, and then he (Turner) went off with it.
It was proved that he sold the garment to a person at
Drayton, the other prisoners being present, but the pur-
chaser could not be found.
The jury, very much to the surprise of the prisoners, at
last returned a verdict of acquittal as to all of them.
Prosecutor—My Lord, may I take my frock ?
COMMON SERGEANT—Why, the jury, by their verdict,
say it is not yours.
Prosecutor—l'm sure its mine, my Lord.
COMMON SERGEANT—I dare say it is ; nobody else
will own it.
Mary Hartwell, aged 21, a person of highly respecta-
ble connections, was indicted for stealing a ring, value 2/.,
the property of Mr. Denning, a jeweller in Ludgate-hill.
The prisoner pleaded guilty.
Thonzas Henry Green, the son of a very respectable
tradesman in the city, was indicted for stealing a silk gown
and divers other articles, the property of Francis Hume,
from the person of Charles Paul Riva.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty.
The prisoner was again indicted for stealing seven shirts
and other articles, the property of John Wilson, from the
person of William Henry Dealey.
The Jury found the prisoner guilty of a simple larceny,
and acquitted him of the more serious charge.
The COMMON SERGEANT told the prisoner he should not
make any judgment on the first conviction, for if he did so
he must transport him for at least ten years. Sentence
would be passed upon the last case only.
