BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

A well.dressed young man, who gave the name of James
Clark, was brought before Sir F. RoE and Mr. TIIISELTON, a
County Magistrate, charged with frequenting the Adelphi
Theatre for the purpose of committing a felony.
It appeared from the statement of James Ledger, a constable
of the theatre, that about a quarter-past six, last night, as soon
as the doors were opened, he observed the prisoner, who had on a
Mackintosh, in the passage leading to the boxes, where a
number of persons were collected, pushing in a very suspicious
manner; and on catching a sight of witness, who was close
behind him, he made a stop and altered his conduct. He was
instantly taken into custody, and there were found upon him a
pair of spectacles, a penknife, 101. 10s. in gold, a diamond
pin.... and a gold watch.

Sir F. ROE inquired if the prisoner was known.
The complainant said he was in company with a man,
named Wood, who was convicted of a similar offence about
eight months ago at this office, and on that occasion the pri-
soner effected his escape.
Mr. Chambers, the Barrister, who appeared for the pri-
soner, asked if Wood had been sent to Newgate for trial ?
The witneis replied that he was only summarily convicted.
William Daniels, a Barrister's Clerk, proved that he had on
several occasions seen the prisoner assisting thieves to
rob persons as they were entering omnibuses, and he had also
seen him in the company of a person who was taken by Ruth-
ven, for robbery.
Mr. CHAMBERS apprehended that the account given by the
constable ought not to militate against the prisoner, as there is
usually a rush at the entrance of a theatre when the doors are
opened, and the property found upon him showed he was not
under the necessity of committing a robbery.
Sir F. Ron said it should not be forgotten that he desisted
when he observed the constable watching his movements, and,
as he was so well known, he should not feel justified in order-
ing him to be discharged. He would therefore direct him to
he sent as a rogue and a vagabond to hard labour in the House
of Correction for three months.
