were found a sack and a pair of jean trowsers which had i*nited
and which had evidently been steeped in oil and turpentine.—
Si mil tit- appearances were discoverable in other parts of the room;
und a hole in the wainscot of a closet through which a light must
have been seen upon the stairs, was stuffed with some cloth. Mr.
Fearn, in consequence of these appearances, went immediately
to the prisoner's house in Amelia-street, Walworth, and hav-

Sir R. Br FINIS asked Mr. Fearn what amount of goods he
found in the loom, and was answered not more than 51. worth.
The prisoner was about to put some questions to Mr. Fearn,
when he was asked if be was aware of the nature of the charge

against him ?
Prisoner—l am, Sir, fully aware.
Sir R. Buttert—Are you aware of the consequences that
may result front it ?
Prisoner--I am.
Sir R. BinNIE—Do you know that it is a capital offence?
Prisoner-0 yes, Sir ; I ant perfectly aware of all that.
Sir It. BlnerlE—Then had you not better reserve anything
you may have to say until you can procure legal advice
The prisoner seemed thankful for the suggestion, and was
silent. He was committedzt week for re-exatnination.
DI;TR NG CASE.
BOW-ST ItEET.—Margaret Jones, a young woman with an
infant at her breast, and two others, iscarcelyetble to walk, by
her side, was placed at the bar, chitrged.with stealing a piece
of bacon, value Md. ! from the shop of Careless, a cheese-
monger in Claresstreet. The unfortunate creature and her
children were extremely clean and neat in their appearance,
but the mother had all the symptoms about her of a want of
necessary food. She seemed so weak as to be scarcely able to
support her own weiglit, with the trifling addition, ofethet of
her suckling infant. Her husband was also in attendance, and
was equally clean with his wife, but exhibited the same ap.
pearance of want.
The charge was clearly proved by a fat red-faced young man,
shoprnan to Mr. Careless.
The poor prisoner said not a word but wept bitterly, and
hugged her child to her breast; while the two other little ones,
unconscious of the cause, clung to her apron, and cried because
their mother did. The poor husband turned hie face aside,
but we saw the tear trickling down his aunken cheek.
Sir R. fitnNtE—Good Goal! am Ito send this poor creature
to prison for stealing tenpenny worth of bacon ?
The cheesemonger'e fat and well.fed shopman stood a per-
fectly unmoved spectator of this heart.rending scene; :Ma in
answer to Sir Richard's question, very coolly said—" Yes, Sir,
we must prosecute t for you have no idea how much we suffer
by such people. It really takes off much of our profits."
Sir R. BinwtE—Well, let her be committed; perhaps it
mar ultimately benefit the unhappy family. -
The prisoner was then removed from the bar. The rules of
the prison to which she was about to be committed rendering
it impossible that she could have the two elder children with
her, she was compelled to part with them. The separation
was-affectieg beyond description.
The husband afterwards asked Sir It. Birnie for an order to
take his children to the workhouse, but was told by the Worthy
Magistrate to go at once to the Overseer ; an order, he was
sure, would not be necessary. The poor man stated that he
was a fringe-maker, but had been a long time out of employ.
ment in consequence of the slackness of trade.

conduct towards the beasts is said to have been brutal in the ex-

Then brought before Mr. Alderman CROWDER at this office

ance, seemed to confirm the numerous complaints that were
made against him. The particular offence, however, with which
he now stood charged was wantonly and cruelly striking an ox
over the hock that morning, and to this feet Wheeler deposed
on his oath.
Goss, in his defence, denied the fact, for, said he, I only
hared one beast all this morning, and that was before you
were there. Wheeler, however, said he had been in the market
nearly all the night, and had observed the prisoner's conduct,
though he took no notice of it to him till there were officers
there to assist him.
The usual penalty for such offences has been only IN. ; but
the Alderman finding that so small a fine had produced no
effect upon him before, convicted him in the penalty of 401.
Goss seemed to care but little about that, and wished the
officer who had him in custody to go with him and he would
get him the money. This, however, he declined, and as no
single officer would venture along with him on such an errand,
the fellow was locked up till he could procure the money.
Alanstost-liousE.—Thomas Taylor, a man of very re-
spectable appearance, was a few days ago brought before the
the LORD Meson, charged with having embezzled upwards
of 8001. the property of his employer, Mr: Alderman Garrett,
to whom he was a traveller. There are some circumstances of
rather a peculiar nature connected with the case. Mr. Alder.
man Garrett has thought tit to bring an action against the
former employer of Taylor for having given a false character
of him, by which false character the Alderman was induced to
take him into the service of the firm: The prisoner, in palliation
of the offence for which he was brought before the Lord Mayor,
pleads that he had been unfortunate enough to commit a similar
error in the house Which had given him the diameter for in-
tegrity, and that in requital of such generous treatment, he com-
menced a plan of defrauding the Alderman in order to pay off
the amount of his previous embezzlement. The action is still

took up stuns of money from the customers of the firm, and not

Assizes, the offence having been sworn to have taken place in
Gloucester.
