THE SUN, LONDON, ON DAY, APRIL 2, 1838.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

A youth, named Daniel 'Laren, was stopped on Saturday night, at
eight o'clock, with a bundle, by Collier, a constable, in Great Russel_
street, and, on examining its contents, found ten cotton handkerchiefs,
with a label, as if it had been exhibited at some shop-door in the neigh.
bourhood for sale. Having taken the prisoner into custody, Collier
conducted him to the shop of Mr. Gilbert Orrn, in Little Russel-street,
where the articles were instantly identified as th• same which were
hanging against the door only a few minutes previous.

The prisoner said he got the bundle from another boy, and was fully
committed for trial.

Win. Smith, a lad well known to the police, walked into the shop of
Harriet Bennet, Strand, at ten o'clock on Saturday night, and helped
himself to a pair of new boots. The prisoner instantly ran up South-
ampton-street, but being stopped by a gentleman, prisoner was brought
back with the boots in his possession.
The prisoner after denying his guilt was fully committed for trial.
