Mr. HENRY remanded the prisoner for a week.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
Thomas Stutter, was brought before Mr. Hardwick,
charged with stealing a trumpet, value 121., the property
of Mr. Hobert Davis, one of the musicians employed at
the Haymarket Theatre.
It appeared that the complainant, after the perform-
ance on Saturday night last, deposited his trumpet in
the music-room in the theatre. On Monday evening
about ten o'clock he went to fetch his instrument, and
was surprised to find it gone. He inquired of every
person in the theatre, but could not gain any tidings of
the lost trumpet till last night, when he was informed
that the trumpet was found, and the prisoner in custody
for stealing it.
William Adams, the master carpenter at the theatre,
proved seeing the prisoner lurking about the stage door
about twenty minutes past ten o'clock on Monday night.
Having suspicions that the prisoner was up to no good,
he watched him, and saw him enter the music room,
where he remained some time. Witness then went to the
top of the stage and peeped through a hole, and saw him
in the act of removing an iron bar from the window.
Witness stole softly round to the window and caught the
prisoner attempting to push something through. He
seized hold of it, and found it was the missing trumpet.
The prisoner ran away and made his escape out of the
theatre. Information was then given to the police, who
took the prisoner into custody last night.
The prisoner, who denied the charge was remanded
till Saturday.
Ellen Cook, was charged with stealing a sovereign
and a half sovereign, the property of Maria Hibbut, 3,
Old Compton-street, Soho.
Complainant stated that the prisoner was employed as
servant, and occasionally assisted her at needlework.
Yesterday morning she deposited the money in a work-
box in the parlour, to which the prisoner had access. In
the course of the morning the prisoner was left bye
boa,
in the parlour, and had ample opportunity of taking
the money. Subsequently on witness going to
she found that the money had been abstracted. Sus.'

THAIVIES.—(THIS DAY.)
Rebecca Bromley, a middle-aged care-worn looking
woman, was charged with having attempted self-de-
struction.
From the evidence of police.constables K 9 and 215,

•
it appeared that the unfortunate creature had attempted
to drown herself near Bromley Hall, the residence of the
superintenient of the East India Company. She had
throv,n herself into the water, but wa, fortunately
rescued by the mate of a ship, who, as his vessel sailed •
to-day, was unable to attend. She was rather the worse
for liquor at the time, but in her sober moments, and -
even just before being brought; into court, she had de-
clared in a calm and resolute manner, that she -would
repeat the attempt till she had succeeded in effecting her
object. She had been visited by a medical wan, who
thought her mind was affected. She herself attributed
it to the loss of her husband, who was recently deceased.
Mr. BALLANTINE ordered her to be detained till she
could find good bail. If it was found that her mind was
really and seriously disordered, proper measures must be
taken to have her placed under restraint.
She was then removed, and placed for the present in
the charge of Roach, the gaoler.

Amelia Ashwood, who a few days since was charged
at this office with wilfudv deserting her female infant.
was this morning brought before Mr. Broughton, the
sitting magistrate, for final examina!ion.

against a large bundle which was lying upon one of the

carefully wrapped up. By direction of the matron the
baby was conveyed to St. Luke's workhouse.
A Mrs. Moody, cousin to the prisoner,
had told her (witness) that the child had died of convul-
sions, and she thought of going into mourning for
_it.
Witness advised her not to do so, as that would be the
means of informing her friends of her disgrace.
