NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—NoRwmr, .1114Bcn 29.

CROWN COURT.—On the opening of the Court this
morning Mr. Sergeant STORKS applied to have the recogni-
zances entered into for the appearance of John Pilgrim, one
of the parties charged with bribery, respited. A similar ap-
plication had been made last year to Mr. Baron Bolland.
The prosecution was instituted by Messrs. Sewell and Blake,
for embezzlement, Pilgrim having been their clerk. The
defendant was now in custody. There would be no detri-
ment to public justice by acceding to this application.
His LORDSHIP should take time to consider of the appli-
cation, and should require a sight of the depositions, &c.,
under which this prosecution was instituted.
Robert Pamley, Thomas Wright, and John Hyde, were
charged with having on the 17th of September committed a
violent assult on Mr. J. Simpson, and robbed him of his
watch and other articles, at Colkirt, in the County of Norfolk.
All Guilty.—Hyde fourteen years transportation ; sen-
tence deferred on the other two.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Two young men, named Joyce and. Green, and two
women, named Robertson and Stevenson, were brought be-
fore the Loan MAYOR. The men were well-dressed young
persons, and the women looked like steady respectable
housekeepers.
Price, the street-keeper of Broad-street Ward, stated
that of late a number of the frequenters of St. Bartholo-
mew's Church had been robbed by some thieves who de-
voutly mixed themselves up with the congregation, and
when the crowd, passed out contrived to levy contributions
upon the unsuspecting. Witness having received particu-
lar directions from Mr. Carney, the Deputy, watched the
church door on Tuesday. evening, and saw the four pri-
soners come from it. A lady had been robbed in the
church on that evening, and another had lost her watch
there a fortnight ago.
The time-keeper at the Royal Exchange saw all the pri-
soners at the church-door, pushing amongst the people.
They appeared to know each other well, and walked off
when they saw witness and another officer.
Green, upon being asked where he worked last, said that
he would prefer silence under existing circumstances.
Mrs. Robertson, a very sober-looking person, of a church-
going appearance, dressed in a black bonnet, black cloak,
and a black front, said that she was not accompanied by
any acquaintance, and was merely standing out of the rain :
and upon being asked whether she was a married lady, re-
plied, " Not exactly, but I live with a gentleman." The
other female prisoner not only gave a false name, but
address.

The prisoners were remanded till Saturday, when it is
expected that many persons will attend.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

AN ASPIRING GENIUS.—Thomas Adams, a sharp, stout
boy, was put to the bar before Mr. CHAMBERS, on suspi-
cion of having attempted to transfer the contents of an old
gentleman's pocket into his own.
The charge was of a doubtful nature, and as the boy's
appearance and replies indicated considerable shrewdness,
the Magistrate was induced to put some questions to him.
Mr. CHAMBERS—Are your parents living ? Boy (wip-
ing his eyes)—Never had none. I vos . vot they calls a
chance child, and brought up in Marrebon verkhouse.
Mr. CHAMBERS—And what made you leave the work-
house ? Boy—Cause there war'nt no prospect of any
hadwancement ; so I thought I would jest sec if I could
do summut for myself in the bone-picking line.
Officer—Boning property first, and picking it up after-
wards. Isn't that what you mean ? •
Boy—No. I means vot I says, and did werry veil
till about three veeks from the present time, yen there
came sitch a hopposition in the line, that the trade aint
worth a dump.
. Mr. CHAMBERS—How much are you able to earn in a
day ? Boy—Vun day vith another I can yarn sixpence,
and vonce I got as much as brought me in nine-pence ; but
sich a slice of luck as that 'ere nobody can't expect to last
for ever. Six-and-thirty pound of bones is a good morn-
ing's work, and takes a deal of
.ground to go over.
Mr. CHAMBERS—I should think SO ; but I suppose you
get such a quantity principally from gentlemen's houses and
cook-shops. Boy (with great disdain)—Cook-shops and
gemmen's houses ! Vy, they're the very last spots vich
them as is " fly" to our bmiiess would prick upon for bones.
In gemmen's houses they eats werry little else except fish
and soup, vbich hasn't no bones ; and as to cook-shops,
they're too vide avake to give away vhat's vorth a farden a
pound.
Mr. CHAMBERS—Whereabouts do you find so many bones ?
Boy (hesitating)—l shouldn't like to put everybody up
to the move ; but I don't mind telling your Vership, as
you vouldn't go fo.• to take no advantage on it. The" best
places is jist on the back of the muses, or vcre there's a
dunghill, and on Vensdays or Thursdays, rich are prime
days, cause them as buys Sunday joints makes soup o the
hones on them days, you may stand a chance of finding a
