was gone. The prisoner then jumped into the cab, and he

over the gentleman with her hand in her dress pocket, he
seized it, and found in it a gold watch and chain. Hearing

the prisoner what money she had, and she said only five or
six shillings, but afterw-ards above £5 was taken from her.

was drunk, but that the prisoner, who gave a false address,
was quite sober.

THAMES.

A BAD FlT.—Henry Radford, a young man, was brought
before Mr. Partridge, charged-with stealing a pair of trou-
sers, a waistcoat, and £3 6s. in money, from the ship Mid-
lothian in the West India Dock.

Charles Wilson, a dock constable, saw the prisoner about
to leave the dock at the principal gate with a pair of trou-
sers and a waistcoat upon him which did not at all corres-
pond with his coat in age and seediness. Wilson demanded
of the prisoner where he obtained the trousers and waist-
coat, to which ho replied that his father, a foreman tailor,
made them. " Then," said the officer, "he has made a
very bad fit, and I*shall detain you." He soon ascertained
the clothes belonged to John Ward, a sailor on board the
barque Midlothian. They were £3 in gold and Gs. in silver
in the waistcoat pocket. The money was recovered.
Mr. Partridge committed the prisoner for trial.
SAVAGE ASSAULT ON POLICE-CONSTABLES.—George Care,
aged 21, and Joseph Mills, 23, labourers, were charged with
violently assaulting several persons.

The prisoners, two idle, ruffianly fellows, who frequent
public-houses and beer shops to drink other mon's liquor
and bully them, and also to rob them if there is an oppor-
tunity, wore in a public-house in the Old Manor-road,
opposite Stepney Church-yard. They made a disturb-
ance there and were ordered to Withdraw. They refused
to do so, and Care kicked the landlord, John Prince, on the
low part of his person, and both prisoners severely beat a
man named Thompson, who merely said, " Why don't you
go out." The police were called, and before the prisoners
werelsecured they severely bruised and maltreated two
constables named Bullock and Smith.

Mr. Partridge sentenced Mills to two months' imprison-
ment, and Care to three months' imprisonment, both with
hard labour.

as others of tho same breed.—New York Tribune.
