POLICE-THIS DAY.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Charles West, wbo save his address at 10, Warngate,
York, was placed before Alderman Humphrey, charged
with stealing a diamond ring, value £B, from the shop of
Mr. Cockavne, jeweller, of 154, Fenchurch-street.
From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner went into
the shop of the prosecutor in Fenchurch-street, and asked
to look at some pearl rings. A tray was accordingly shown
him, when he objected to the articles, and requested to be
shown some set with diamonds. The articles were shown
to him, and then he contrived to substitute
a " duffer" for the genuine one. The person who was
attending to the prisoner immediately saw the spurious
ring in the tray, and, without making any remark, he went
from the counter to shut the door before the prisoner could
leave the shop. The prisoner, imagining something was
wrong, put the geninue ring back ou the tray, but not in
its proper place. He was then given into custody, but the
paste ring was not discovered.
The address given by the prisoner was a false one.
Another charge of a similar nature, the gentleman
robbed being Mr. Burton, Church-street, Hackney, was
then preferred against the prisoner. The ring, which was
stolen on the 31st of July, was valued at £l7 17s,
The police-constable said there was another charge
against the prisoner—viz., stealing a ring from the shop of
Mr. Campbell, of Cheapside, but that gentleman was not
in attendance.

The prisoner was committed for trial, but will be brought
up again to-morrow, for Mr. Campbell's charge to be pro-
ceeded with.

Abel Harris was placed at the bar charged with annoying
the passengers to the steam boats, in Villiers-street, Strand.
Police-constable 146 F said yesterday afternoon the pri-
soner was selling hat guards in Villiers-strand, Strand, and
as there had been frequent complaints about the annoyance
he asked him to go away, but he took no notice of the
caution, and as a gentleman was proceeding to the steam
boats he threw a guard over his hat and fastened it to his
coat. The gentleman, to avoid the annoy ince, gave the
prisoner a penny, as he had followed him all the way down
the stret t. Witness then went up and took the prisoner
into custody, but instead of walking quietly to the stp'"Lion:
house he went down on his knees and attemptedto throw
him on his back, but he did not succeed in,

some difficulty he was conveyed to the s.ation-hOuse.

and he was fastening it for him, when the constable came
up and collared him.

unfinished houses near St. Martin's. lane he heard certain
noises, which convinced him that there were some persons
on the premises. He obtained the assistance of some other
constables and found the three prisoners in different parts
of the houses. There were marks on the wall of the Mitre
public-house which backed upon the ptoperty, and a
window was found open which led him to believe that the
prisoners were there for an unlawful purpose.

house to sleep, were remanded in order that inquiry might
be made about them.
