EXTENSIVE ROBBERY..--THE YOUNG THIEF AND TILE
OLD RECEIVER.—AIfred Puling, a youth about 18 years
old, was charged with stealing upwards of 110 pairs of
boots and shoes, the property of Mr. Fraser, of No. 172, St.
George-street, alias Ratcliff highway, and William Elliott,
a journeyman shoemaker, 60 years of age,
was charged with
feloniously receiving the property, ho well knowing it to be
stolen.

The younger prisoner had been in the service of Mr.
Fraser for about 6 years. For some time past the prose-
cutor had been continually missing new boots and shoes
from his stock. A clever detective officer, named Porter
William Dunaway, No. 129 11, was instructed to trace the
property, and detect the parties engaged in the robberies.
Dunaway ascertained that the lad Puling had sold a large
number of his master's boots and shoes to Elliott, who dis-
posed of them again to a woman named Leary, the occupier
of a house and chandler's shop at the corner of John-street,cextrs

Mrs. Leary said she bought the 20 pairs of boots of
Elliott, a pair at a time, which led her to believe he was the
maker of them.Elliottt.
