MARYLEBOAE.

Yesterday Thomas Warre, a middle-aged man, having the
appearance and manners of a countryman, was brought up in
custody and placed within the felons' bar, on the charges of
having stolen 64/. in gold, the property of his late master,
Mr. T. Pointer, a butcher in an extensive way of business,
at 62, Aldgate, and also a valuable horse belonging to Mr. J.
Young, a licensed victualler, residing at Hadstock, Bucks.
The prisoner, for whose apprehension rewards had been
offered, and a description of his person given in the Hue and
Cry and Police Gazette, was in the first instance brought to
this office on Saturday last, and was then remanded in conse-
quence of there being none of the witnesses in attendance.
Mr. Pointer, on the 28th of December, 1837, purchased at
Islington market of a salesman, named Morgan, four oxen,
and desired the prisoner to go for them, which he did, and
drove them home. On the same day he sent the prisoner
with 64/. in sovereigns and half-sovereigns (which was the
amount of the purchase) to the banking-house of Messrs.
Jones and Sons, Smithfield, with directions that the sum in
question might be placed to Mr. Morgan's account, which,
however, was never done.

Mr. HOSKINS —Did you ascertain this shortly afterwards?—
Mr. Pointer—l did, Sir, on the following day.
Mr. HOSKINS—Did the prisoner ever return to your ser,
vice ? Mr. Pointer—lie did not, and it was that which cx
cited my suspicions, and caused me to make inquiry aspect
ing the money.

—Mr. Hoskiss—Then, since the period of the robbery you
have not seen him until now ? Mr. Pointer—l have not.
o.her evidence was gone into, from which it appeared that
a butcher, who had received information regarding the pri-
soner's haunts, at length discovered him at the Holly Bush
public-house, in Lisson-grove, and handed him over to a con-
stable of the D division of police.
Mr. HoskiNs (to the prisoner)—This is a very serious
charge against you. Do you wish to say anything ? Prisoner
—I was intoxicated with liquor. I'd been drinking a great
deal, and when I put my hand into my waistcoat pocket to feel
for the money which I had put there on leaving my master, I
found it was all gone. I know nothing about how it went nor
what house I was in.

The other charge was then gone into, and with respect to
which the only evidence against the prisoner was, that he was
at Mr. Young's public-house for two or three days, and left
on the 28th ult. On the following day he (Mr. Young) missed
a horse from his field, and a saddle and bridle from the stable.
No tidings of either had since been gained.
The prisoner was in the latter case acquitted, but fully com-
mitted for trial for stealing the money.

QUEEN-SQUARE.
Esther Fustin and Mary Brown, two girls miserably clad,
were yesterday charged with stealing two aprons full of cinders
from the back of her Majesty's Treasury.
Thomas tlmphries, a clerk to the dust contractor, Henry
Fano, complained of great loss of ashes and cinders at the
Treasury and Horse Guards. They had missed considerable
quantities from time tc
cotiv4uxim—What have you to say, girls ?: "You knew
these cinders did not belong to you.
Prisoner Fustin, who had cried bitterly during the hearing,
replied, " I knew that thee' did, not belonq to me, but

mother is poor, and I thought there could be no harm in
taking a few cinders to burn out of a dusthole.
Mr. GREGORSE inquired if they had been there often on the
same errand ? The girls replied that yesterday was their first
and would be their last visit there.
Mr. GREGORIZ could not feel that the Act of Parliament
contemplated the punishment of two persons like these,
could take but little away, although they certainly had norifil"
there at all. Men go.ng there with a sack or cart was a dif-
ferent matter altogether, and he would then feel bound to sup•
port the contractor. As these poor girls had taken the cindere
to burn, and not to sell, he should discharge them on their
undertaking to appear again next Monday.
The girls promised to do so, and were liberated.

WORSHIP- STREET.
Yesterday Susan Morris, who was charged with bavinl
returned from transportation, was brought up for re• exam"
nation. The prisoner was remanded for the purpose of
her friends an opportunity by making an application to t"
Secretary of State to produce a certificate of her free pardon.
As she was not able to bring that forward, she was committed

being accessory to the robbery of Mr. Roper, ironmong%
Finsbury-place, of cash and bills to the amount of 1001. Tli
prisoners, with the exception of Gyngle, who was discharged'

THAMES- OFFICE.
Yesterday Richard Belcher, the master of the schooner
John Lawrence, was brought before Mr. Ballantine and Mr'
Broderip on a charge of assaulting Richard Hagan, a seams°.
It appeared from the evidence of the complainant, a youl
man, that the ship of which defendant was captain was an Irisa
trader, and on the voyage from Dublin to London he ha
been repeatedly ill•ased by the captain. When the ship wasa
coming up the river a few nights since he was so very sore an
stiff from the harsh treatment he had endured, that he Oa
not able to do his duty properly, and when orders were giv.f.3
to let go the lee-brace, as the vessel was going about, he u'
not let it go in time, in consequence of the rope becorell
entangled. This offended the captain, who struck bills
violent blow on the face, which felled him, and when be
down kicked him in the ower part of the abdomen. He ba
been put to great inconvenience and pain by the kick.
The Captain alleged that Hagan had shipped as an able sea;
man, at 2/. ss. per month, and he was quite useless on beat
He could not get him to work, and sometimes, in periods
danger, he would not move hand or foot. He lost his mailai
'
boom through his negligence. It was the third be had ;
in a period of three months, and he cried, and was almost 1
a state of insanity. In his vexation he might have struck ,
blow or two.
The mate, an Irishman, who took the oath in a slool
manner, and would not kiss the cross on the book until tw:l4
desired to do so; would swear the captain did not ,_cl,
the man or lay a hand upon him.
An Irish boy belonging to the vessel was next called, ann
hesitating to answer a question, the mate whispered some° -,l`l
in his ear, on which Mr. Ballantine ordered him to be P,h-,
out of the office, and said he had heard what he said to
iaLd,
boy, and his conduct was exceedingly improper. The 90
who paused at several questions put to him, said he sew
assault committed.
The Magistrates believed the assault had been conueittner
The first witness (the mate) had come prepared to say sar
thing, and they did not believe him. They sentenced the
fendant to pay a fine of 3/. to the Queen and the costs.
