MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)

ROBBERY AT CROCKFORD'I. - George Davis, a
young man of respectable appearance, late butler at
Crockford's Club-house, St. James's-street, was placed
at the bar, on a charge of stealing a quantity of plate
belonging to that establishment. It appears that within
the last few weeks the prisoner had pawned a number of
silver table-spoons at the shop of Mr. Rochfort, of
Silver-street, Golden•square, pawnbroker ; and from
L's respectable appearance no suspicion was entertained.
At length some doubts arose as to that point, as the
prisoner on two occasions gave different addresses. in-
formation of the circumstance was given to Sergeant
Smith, No. 10, C division ; and he, on taking some of
the spoons that had been pawned round to the different
clubhouses and hotels at the west end, succeeded in
ascertaining that the plate belonged to Crockford's, and
that the prisoner was employed there in the capacity
of butler.

On being placed at the bar a gentleman, whose
name was not allowed to transpire, appeared on behalf
of Mr. Crockford, and stated
,that it was not intended
to press the charge against the prisoner.
Mr. LONG—I see the prisoner is charged with fe-
lony, but, however, if no person comes forward to sub-
stantiate the charge, he must, of course, be discharged.
The prisoner was then liberated without any further
explanation being entered into.

REGISTRATION OF VOTERS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir,—The revision of the lists of Parliamentary
Voters for the ensuing year, has been this day com-
pleted by Messrs. Tyrrell and Short, the Barristers,
whose decisions aave given general satisfaction in this
place, the final result being such as to preclude the
possible chance of any Tory dupe being found willing
to throw his money away in any future contest for this
borough, although no doubt great efforts will, as hereto-
fore, be made by the Tory Radicals of this place to get,
a candidate willing and able to bleed freely, not with
any expectation of returning him, but in order to pay
some of their numerous private liabilities from any
pocket but their own.
The following is the result of the Revision :
