DISALLOWANCE Of EXPENSES OF WlT-
NEssEs.—Some time since a rule was laid down by the
Judges at the Central Criminal Court, that in cases
where persons were convicted of stealing goods, which
hung exposed for sale outside their doors, they should not
be allowed their expenses, it being considered as holding
out a temptation to the peor and profligate. The same
rule applied to the stealing of publicans' pots, unless they
were taken from off their premises. At the Sessions
just ended, there were an unusual number of prisoners
charged with stealing articles thus exposed, and the
Commissioners expressed a determination henceforth to
enforce the rule above referred to.
