ROBBING THE HOUSE OF COMIZONS.-011 the
61h instant, the Committee noom, No. 9, of the
House of Commons, was robbed of a valuable
clock. No particular person was suspeEted; it was,
however, ascertained that a pawnbroker's duplicate
for a clock had been offered for sale to Mrs. Meyer,
who deals inlhe purchase of pawnbrokers' duph-
'cares, in the London-road, St. George's fields. Ola
the second day after the clock had been stolen, Mrs.
M. went to Mr. Forkard's,, a pawnbroker, in the
Westminster-road, but they .could not agree upon
terms: On the following clay Mr. F. received in-
formation that the clock had .been stolen. After
that a man' presented the duplica'te in a similar Man-
ner, when he was _taken into custody by a patrole, .
who searched him and brought him to the Office.
He:proved to be a broker in the Srand.• The ac-
count he gave of his having possession of the dupli-
cate was, that a man of the name of John Brother-
ton had given it him to purchase the clock.
By order of the Magistrate, John Brotherton,
was apprehended on 'Friday, and underwent an ex=
amination, when he acknowledged giving the broker
the duplicate. He said, that he took it of }oung
man for a debt of honour, whose name he did not
know, or where he lived. He met him at
gambling-houses. The prisoner is a man of very
respeatable appearance, and acknowledged that he
frequently went to the House .of Commons. The
pawnbroker said he did not think it was the prisoner
who pledged the clock.

A Gentleman belonging to the House of Com-
mons identified the clock. The prisoner w.ts cow•
mitten.

UNION-HALL, MARCH IC—Jones, carter to Mr.
Ramsey, of King-street, and Ruse and 1 t aaer,
ostlers at the Black Jack and Black Horse public-
houses, Russia-Green, were charged before Mr.
BERNIE, the Magistrate, the first with stealing hay
and corn from his master, and the other two with
receiving them, knowing them to be stolen.
It app-ared that Mr. Rumsey, who was in the
-pradice of frequently sending his waggon out of
town for wood, had a suspicion, from' th.: appear-
afice of his horses, that they did not get their proper
quantity of food ; and to ascertain the fact, he di-
rected Smith, the Newington patrole, to watch ilitz,
waggon next time it went out early in the morning,
and notice the quantity of hay and corn which was
taken. Smith did so, and on the 24th of February,
on the waggon going out, he saw a sack of horse-
meat, mote than the proper quantity, put into it ;
again on the 2d of March three trusses of hay, in-. stead pt one, and corn, which Was what Mr. "Rum.
sey allowed, were taken ; and on Monday morning
last an additional truss of straw : on this occasion he
stopped the waggon, by direction of Mr. RumSey.
From the statement of John Saunders, the under
carman, imappeared that on the 24th of February,
the sack of horse-tneat was left with Rose, and on
the 2d of March the hay was left with Walker, as
the waggon passed the door in its war to the place
where it was going to take up wood ; and that on
hose clays the poor horses bad only part of on:: truss
of hay to eat amongst them. Walker and Rose
farmed aijr_ places of
_their masons at so much a
year. This prac.lice, which is very prevalent, the
• worthy Magistrate highly revrobatedr he observed,
it only set ved to eocoutage men in the situation of
• the prisoner, Jones, to rob their employers, and
starve their catty, by the facility •wWc atforded
them of disposing of the plunder. • fully coal=
witted all-.three for trial; the first for stealing the
hay and, cola, and the two latter for receiving' irs
I:tic/wink it to be stolen.
