BOW-STREET.---(THIS DAY.)
A RENDEZVOUS OF THIEVES.—A young man,
named Conran, attired in the garb of a bricklayer's
labourer, and another, named Foley, were charged
with having stolen a watch fr9m the person of a Jew
named Morgan.
The prosecutor stated that between twelve and one
o'clock on Sunday morning, he went to a house in
Church-lane, St. Giles's, to purchase a small quantity
of gin, and when he got there he found the place full
of people. While he was being served, the prisoner
Conron, producing a pair of scissors, cut the guard of
his watch, and snatching it from his fob, he handed
it to the prisoner Foley, who decamped with it.
A policeman came up, and he gave Conron into cus-
tody at once, but it was not till they got to the station
that they found Foley.
Police-constable Hall, of the E division, deposed to
the fact of the two prisoners being given into his
custody—the one at the house in St. Giles's and the
other near to the station, but upon neither was the
watch found. He produced the vinegar bottle of a
cruet stand, containing gin, which he took from the
prosecutor, who certainly was not sober when he
made the charge.
Conron said he knew nothing of the watch, but
admitted being at the house in St. Giles's when the
prosecutor came in with a couple of women, whom he
treated to sixpennyworth of gin. The room was full
at the time, and he saw two or three men hustle him,
and no doubt they stole his watch.
Mr. HALL—What are you ? Conron—A brick-
layer's labourer. I have worked for Mr. Massey, of
Guildford-street, for five years; but I have not had
work for the last two months.

Mr. HALL—WeII, Foley, what have you to say ?
Foley—Why, I have got this here to say, that I were
as innocent as the babby was unborn. Mike Curtis
is the feller wot's got the watch, and if you'll let me
out for a hour I'll be bound to find hits.
I was not in the room when the watch was stole,
but I heard a cry of " Police," and 1 ran up to see
what was the matter. I seed this here chap (Conron)
at the door, and I says to him " Halloa, Bill, wot's
the row ? " " Why" say's he, " here's Mike Curtis
bin and took a cove's watch, and gived it to Dennis
Macarthy, wot's bolted with it." Vith that yer
Worship, Bill was took, and when the prosecutor sees
me at the station, he says to Mr. Hall " This is
the man which received the watch from the chap in
the flannel jacket ;" and I says, " Vell, if you think
I've got yer watch you'd better give me in charge,"
and so he did yer Worrihip.
Mr. HALL asked what sort of a house this was ?
The inspector said it was a low house, where thieves
and prostitutes resorted for spirits after the public-
houses were closed on Saturday. It was kept by the
man Foley, who bad already suffered three months'
imprisonment for vending exciseable liquors without
a licence.

Mr. HALL .(to the prisoner)—Who is this Mike
Curtis ? Foley—Oh, he's a chap wot hangs about
the lane. Wery few of the E dewision knows him,
but all the F's does.
Mr. HALL—WeII, what are you ? Foley—Why,
I hawkes fruit about the street.
Mr. HALL observed that it was highly improper to
sell gin in the way the inspector had described. Such
houses as this were the bane of society.
The inspector said the circumstances of the case
had been made known to the Excise authorities.
Mr. HALL said it was his duty to commit them for
trial, but as the prosecutor had evidently been too
drunk to recognise them with that degree •f cer-
tainty that a jury would require, he would admit them
to bail.

Foley—Your Worship, Nottall, the policeman,
knows me. I'm werry well known in St. Giles's,
and if you'll let me go, I'll be bound to come up at
the trial.

Mr. HALL said he could not consent to liberate
him without finding sureties.
The two prisoners were then fully committed for
trial at the ensuing Old Bailey sessions.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Under the head of " Lloyd's Shipping, this
day, Deal, Nov. 9th," you have stated, arrived from
the River, Clifton, Beazely, Port Philip. Now, as I
had friends, passengers by that ship, and they being
in London yesterday from Gravesend (where the ship
has been since this day week), I felt immediately some
fear they must have lost their passage, and on receiving
your paper this evening at once hastened to the
City for information. At Lloyd's no report of the
sort could be found, and I found a friend on his
way, by the seven o'clock train, to join those wait-
ing at Gravesend for the ship to sail, which it is not
expected she will do before to-morrow or Monday. I
draw your attention to this error, as it may have misled
others as well as myself;—Yours, &c.,
A SUBSCRIBER TO YOUR PAPER FOR
THE LAST SEVEN YEARS.
November 10, 1849.

[The report was sent to us by our regular City
Correspondent, who is always very correct; but in
this instance there must have been some mistake
which shall be inquired into.—ED. Sun.]
