SOUTH WARK.

William Jenkins, a well dressed young man, was
charged with stealing a diamond pin, value 101., the
property of Mr. Hughes, a jeweller, in High-street,
Southwark.

It appeared that the prisoner walked into the com-
plainant's shop, and requested to look at some patterns
of diamond pins. He was shown some by the shop-
man, and having examined thorn, expressed a desire
to look at a brilliant pin which he pointed out in the
window. The complainant, during the time, wasjn
the shop, and narrowly watched the prisoner's move-
ments, and when the shopman turned round to the
window for the purpose of reaching for the brilliant,
the prisoner availed himself of the opportunity, and
dipping his fingers in a tray which contained various
articles of jewellery, he hastily took out a brilliant
pin from amongst them, and immediately transferred
it to his left hand coat pocket. The act of the pri-
soner was not observed by the shopman but by the
proprietor, who, as soon as he saw the pri-
soner was about to quit the shop, went up
to him, and at once charged him with
having stolen the pin. The prisoner pretended to be
quite astonished that such a serious imputation should
be cast upon his character, spoke of his respectability,
and declared that he had none but his own property
about him, and that he would not submit to the de-
gradation of being searched. The complainant,
however, insisted upon an examination, and men-
tioned that he knew the pin was in the prisoner's
left hand coat pocket, and that if he did not instantly
restore it a policeman would be forthwith called.
The prisoner became extremely uneasy and began to
shift his position nearer to the counter, and AN hen he

He was committed.

‘Nhicii he had previuuth!Y
taken it, and then exchtirned that it had never been in
his possession, and that it must have been overlooked
by the complainant when he had examined the tray
and its contents. The complainant called a policeman
and gave the prisoner into custody.
The prisoner, when placed at the bar, still asserted
his innocence of the charge, said that it was a
mistake altogether, and that he went into the
shop not to steal, but to purchase an article
of jewellery. When asked if he had any friends
present to Epeak as to his former character, his reply'
was that being respectable he did not wish to com-
municate his situation to them, and that he declined
giving any further information with respect to his
family connexions.

) Yesterday Mr. Broderip was occupied the greater
portion of the afternoon in hearing a series of charges
) of fraud against Henry Charles iVilcoxon, a journer
• man brushmaker, who was: prosecuted by his em-
ployer, Mr. F. Marchant, brushmaker, Lisle-place,
Eaton-street, Pimlico.
The prisoner entered Mr. Marchant's service
► April as a journeyman, and continued with him Caw
the end of August. During that time the prisoner
represented that he had received a number of very
I excellent orders from various oilmen and other shop'.
keepers who retail brushes, and large quantities of
goods of various descriptions were given to him t°
supply the persons whose names he mentioned, with
a distinct understanding that they were to be ready"
money transactions. The prisoner's orders pouredin
so thickly, and the excuses he made for neglecting
to bring back some of the cash were so
plausible,
that suspicion was disarmed for a time : but on
the 28th of August three distinct orders for
brushes having been given in the' names of Frewin,
Hall, and Hill, the goods, which were worth 1414
were delivered to the prisoner ; and in -..irder to as-
certain how he disposed of them, King, an assistant
porter in the firm, was ordered to accompany Wm,.
with them, which he did, but after getting a 811"'
distance from Westminster-bridge the prisoner told
King that he did not want the governor to know
where the goods were going, and if he (King) Wall..
go to a public-house in the neighbourhood and get -
pint of beer, he would come to him in a few minutes,:
King left the prisoner as desired, but he watched and
saw him go into Mr. Langdon's, an oil and Italian
warehouse in the Westminster-road, where he sold a
portion of the property, and received the money for it.
The whole of the money he paid on account of the
141. worth of goods—and there was no evidence t°
show how he disposed of the remainder--Was
3/. 18s. 10d. On an explanation of his conduct being
demanded by Mr. Marchant, who had on inquiry also
,
discovered that he had taken 31. worth of brushes °I;
a Mr. Gell, an oilman at Brixton, there being no such
person there, the prisoner admitted that the whole
the names that he had given in as customers wer
false, as also the addresses, adding that the won 2,,
for the goods he had received was owing to him
the persons to whom he had parted with them.
had used false names to obtain the goods in order t°
keep his connexion together.
'the prosecutor was in a condition to produce aele;
ral cases against the prisoner; but three which Were
shaped as distinct larcenies, were deemed sufficient for
the ends of justice. These consisted of the sll3
order with which the porter had accompanied
the one in which the name of Mr. Gell of Brixton,
was used, and a third where goods were obtained for
(as it was alleged) a Mr. Will and sold to a Mr'
Murrell. In the latter, as in some of the other cases'
a succession of orders had been given in the same
name, and a portion of the amount paid.
The prisoner, in his reply to the Westminster-road
case (in which he had represented himself as the ma;
nufacturer and owner of the brushes to Mr. Langdn
and that in which he obtained goods in the name °
Williams, entered into a rambling story, the greatq
part of which had no relation to the charge. He s2l
he had sold the things where he could, and that be
had accounted for a great portion of the money; the
remainder was owing to him, and, if Mr. Marchant
would give him time he would pay it by instalments
i
He had formerly been in business for himself, and
had taken Mr. Marchant's goods in order to get rid
of them for him to customers whom he (prisoner) ha,
been in the habit of supplying. He sold the goods
in his own name, and intended to pay Mr. Marchani,
when he got the money. He was allowed 5 per cent.
for his trouble.
On Mr. BRODERIP asking him whether he wished
to make any reply to the Brixton charge, he said " he
would leave that for the present."
He was committed for trial at the Central Criminal
Court on the three above named cases.
