u countryman, r.
in town yesterday. He had a sister living somewhere
in the Borough, and set out from the Cheshire-cheese
public-house in Long-lane, Smithfield, to pay her a visit.
The exterior splendour of the gin. palaces so attracted
his attention, that he was induced to examine the in-
terior, and the consequence was that about 11 o'clock
at night, having met the prisoner, he offered to treat
her with a jaunt, and accordingly they both got into a
cab, when, alter a short time he fell intoa state of happy
obliviousness.
Police constable P 20 stated that at half-past three
o'clock this morning he found the prosecutor cud pri-
soner engaged in a regular pitchel battle on Sno,v-hill.
He took them both to the station-house. when the pro-
secutor said be bad been robbel of 23/ The f,rna.le
searcher examined the prisoner and found that sum on
her in srold, and a cheque fur 61. 10s. It required the
utmost exertion to prevent her swallowing two sove-
reigns which she put into her mouth.
The prisoner was committed for trial.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

(THIS DAY.)

George Thompson, a young roan of gentlemanly ad-
dress, and very fashionably attired, was charged with
stealing a gold pin.

Mr. George Frederick Summers, a tradesman, resid-
ing in the City, stated that between two and three
o'clock this morning he was returning home from Chel-
sea, when, in passing along Piccadilly he felt himself, so
unwell that he was obliged to sit down on the step of a
door. In a minute or two afterwards the prisoner
crossed over to him from the opposite side of the way,
and offered to see him home ; and at the same time,
with much apparent kindness, placed his hand on the pro-
secutor's forehead to support his head, and while doing so,
took with his other hand a gold pin from his (the prose-
cutor's) breast, and put it into his right hand trousers-
pocket. The prosecutor took no notice. as he felt he
was unable to contend with the prisoner if he made any
resistance, but kept lii:n in conversation until polico
constable No. 132 C division came up, when he in-
stantly gave him in charge. On searching the prisoner
at the station-house, the pin was found in his right hand
trousers-pocket.
The prisoner said he was much intoxicated at the
time, and had not the slightest recollection of what bad
been stated.

The prisoner's father, a man of very respectable ap-
pearance, with several friends, attended to speak in his
behalf. It appeared that he had often been entrLsted
with hundreds, and never before was his honesty called
in question.

The prosecutor said be did not wish to press the
churge.
Mr. LONG said there was a clear and strong case of
stealing from the person made out against the prisoner,
and he should therefore send him for trial.
