MARKET NE WS.-(THIS DAY.)

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.
OLD COURT.

Mrs. Deare admitted having made up a dress for the pri-
soner to go to a ball, but denied that she had ever given her
money for anyother purpose than the supporting her husband
and children.
The RECORDER said, that in consideration of the imprison-
ment she had already undergone, and also of the good cha-
racter she had formerly borne, the sentence of the Court
would be very lenient. Sentenced to six weeks' imprison-
ment in the gaol of Newgate.
RORBERY.—John Connell, aged 27, described as a labourer,
was charged with robbing from the door of Mr. Henry
Withers, hosier, stockings to the value of 10s. The case
was proved, and the prisoner sentenced to six mo:/ths' im-
prisonment with hard labour.

John Williams, labourer, found guilty of stealing two
pewter pots from the premises of George James, a licensed
victualler, aggravated by being known as a common thief,
was sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment, and to be
kept to hard labour.

Several other cases of a like unimportant character were
tried in the course of the day.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Robert Jenkins and James Williams, two persons having
the appearance of respectable tradesmen, were placed at the
bar beforeleir. Jardine, charged with attempting to obtain
goods from Mr. Prow, tailor, 247, Strand, by means of a
forged cheque.
Mr. Prew stated, that yesterday afternoon the prisoners
entered his shop together, and Jenkins asked to look at a
coat, and selected one. Williams selected a pair of trowsers.
Jenkins offered a cheque in payment. Williams said he
lived in the neighbourhood, and wrote his name and an
address (which has since been found to be false) on the back
of the cheque. He (prosecutor) said he would send to the
bank to get it cashed, but the prisoner said, no, don't send
it to the bank, give it to me, as I am going that way, and I
will call again. Be, however, insisted on sending to the
bank, and sent a clerk there. The prisoners went away.
The clerk returned, bringing word that there were no effects.
The prisoner Jenkins returned in about an hour, and Wil•
liams in about an hour and a half, and he gave them into
custody.
Mr. Wolf, who appeared for the prisoners, submitted that
there was no evidence of fraudulent intention, and it was not
at all likely that persons who had left a forged cheque in a
shopkeeper's hands, to be sent to the Bank, would call again
in an hour.

Mr. JARDINE said that though the fact that they returned
to inquire what had become of the cheque was in their
favour, it was too serious a charge to be passed over without
fnrther inquiry. The prisoners must therefore be remanded
till Friday next.—Remanded accordingly.

3IARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.)
George Wilkinson was brought before Mr. Bingham,
' charged with going to the residence of Mr. Michael Tomlin-
son, 70, Berners-street, Oxford- street, with a false message,
for the purpose of committing a felony.
The prosecutor stated that at about eight o'clock last
night a lad had called from the carrier's with a box, which
was to go to Tooting. Complainant went into the hall to
speak to the lad, and observed that lie had taken a great-coat
from off the pegs, and had thrown it behind where he was
standing. He asked him what he was doing with the coat,
when he replied that it had just fallen off one of the pegs.
lle the!. told him to be off about his business, or be would
give him in charge. Shortly afterwards the prisoner camp,
and said that he was sent from the King and Ship public-
house, in Ilegent-street, for a box which had been left by
mistake. Knowing that there was no such house in that
street, and thinking that the prisoner was an accomplice of
the other boy, he gave Lim in charge to police-constable C,
40, and on searching him at the station-house, there were
found in his pocket two latch and two skeleton keys, and a
strong knife.

The prisoner, who declined making any defence, was re.
manded till ➢londay next.

CLERKENIVELL.—(T HIS DAY.)
Five respectably- dressed young men, named Milner, Green,
Scales, Want, and Phi 11444, were charged with being drunk
and disorderly this morning, and throwing stones at the
gate of St. Pancras Workhouse, and causing a disturbance.
It appeared that the parties, who were well acquainted
with some of the subordinate workhouse officials, had been
making merry at a public-house nearly opposite to the en-
trance, when, in an exuberance of good nature, they deter-
mined to have a cup with their parochial friends, and in pur-
suance of that resolution, went to the workhouse-gate and
began knocking, shouting, and kicking at it until at last the
uproar became so great that the police found it necessary to
interfere. The prisoners, being pot-valiant, swore no police-
man should interfere with them, and the result was, a severe
struggle, which ended in the five gentlemen being ensconced
in the station-house for the night.
Mr. COMAE ordered each of them to pay a fine of 55., and
in default to be imprisoned for three days.
Charles Blansgrore, a well-known thief, was charged with
stealing a pair of boots from the shop of Mr. Sherwood, boot
and shoe-maker, of Calthorpe• street, Gray's Inn-road.
The prosecutor's shopman, while sitting in a room behind
the shop, saw the prisoner come in, snatch the hoots from a
shelf on which they were placed near the door, and run away
with them. Mr. Sherwood gave him chase, and after a
sharp run, caught him near the end of Gray's Inn-lane.
The prisoner was fully committed for trial.

WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
James Newitt, in the employment of Messrs. Pickford and
Co" charged with stealing a bag containing two bushels of
peas, and William Fi:mer, who described himself as a baker's
dust collector, with receiving the same, well knowing them

tai
Nt,
Newitt take from a van he was driving the bag above
mentioned, and carry it into Filmer's house. The latter soon
after made his appearance outside the dwelling, when wit-
ness went up to him and inquired concerning the bag.
Filmer replied that he knew nothing whatever of what wit-
ness alluded to, and the latter might search the premises. He
(witness) did so, and at length, in a shed, at the rear of the
house, he discovered the bag in question.
Mr. Paris, manager in the employment of the above firm,
stated that the contents of the bag, the peas, corresponded
precisely to the immense bulk of that commodity the company
had in their possession.
Mr. Paris, solicitor to the firm, attended to watch the pro-
ceedings, and the depositions were at length desired to be
made out, preparatory to the prisoners' full committal for
trial, and they were accordingly removed for that purpose.
It was stated that a similar system of robbery had been
carried on for several years past.

(Before the RECORDER and Mr. Alderman HUNTER.)
LARCENY.—Mary Ann Brooks, aged 22, a simple looking
girl, was indicted for having abstracted from the house of
her master, Mr. Denny, a surgeon in the London-road, a cap
and other trifling articles, which she had given to a person
calling himself Lieutenant Player, of the Royal Horse Guards
Blue, then and now a prisoner in the'Queen's Bench.
Mr. Parnell was fur the prosecution ; Mr. Clarkson for the
defence.

The case was so far singular, that the person for whose
benefit the things were so taken, the Lieutenant Player i n
question, was the very man who gave information to Mr.
Denny of the larceny.
After having given his evidence for the prosecution, he
was severely cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON, who endea-
voured t 2 make him show, by his own confession, that he
had been " a bonnet" or decoy at a gaming-house; that he
had endeavoured to obtain from certain tradesmen 3001
worth of watches; and that, in short, he was a person on
whose word no reliance could be placed. Other witnesses
having been heard,
The RECORDER summed up in favour of the prisoner, and
the jury at once returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
LARCENY AND EIKE e ZZLIRENT. —Eizabeth Stone, a mar-
ried female, aged 27, was charged with embezzling two sums,

that Mrs. °care had encouraged her, by articles of dress and
loans of money, to go to dances, and that to provide funds
for this purpose she had taken the sums mentioned in the
indictment.
