BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
James Duncombe, a costermonger, was charged with
stealing a seive or basket of potatoes, from Mr. Pullen,
.a salesman in Covent-garden market.

Mr. Pullen said that the prisoner entered his shop this
morning, and asked the price of some new potatoes. He
paid the price, ss. 6d., and lifted the sieve on the shoul-
ders of a man who was with him, who took it away.
The prisoner lingered for some time, and at last took
up another sieve, and walked off with it. He (prosecu-
tor) did not interfere with him, but followed and watched
him to James's-street, where he overtook his companion,
who had the sieve they had bought upon his head. As
the prisoner came up to this man, be pointed to a bar-
row at the opposite side of the street, and they crossed
over towards it. They were just placing the basket on
the barrow when witness overtook them, and told the
prisoner be must bring the other sieve back. The pri-
soner said he did not know when he took it that the
other man had taken it away. Witness then gave him
in charge.
The prisoner, in defence, said that he was not aware
that his man had taken one sieve away at the time he
himself took the second.

Mr. HENRY said that was impossible, as the prisoner
himself helped his companion to lift the basket up, and
he could not have forgotten that so soon. He would
commit him if Mr. Pullen would prosecute.
Mr. Pullen expressed his wish to prosecute.
Mr. HENRY then committed the prisoner for trial.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
Margaret Connor and Mary Jenkins, her daughter,
who were formerly the proprietors of the noted " old
house in West-greet," the reminiscences of which
afforded the basis of a plot at many of the " minors"
some three years ago, were charged with a brutal assault
upon " Jack White," a crossing sweeper.
It appeared that the prisoners kept an infamous den
in Field-lane, and one of their lodgers having offended,
they required Jack, who was noted as a bruiser, to "do
battle "on their behalf. To this, however, Jack de-
murred, when the younger. prisoner came behind him
and, with a three-legged stool, stretched him at full
length, and both the prisoners attacked him, and would,
according to his own statement, have killed him only for
the police. _ _

They were fined 205., and, in default, sentenced to
three weeks' imprisonment, with hard labour.

WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
This being the day appointed for the completion of the
evidence against George Dean, alias Clarke, alias M' Gree,
the soi•disant ship's carpenter, who has been repeatedly
remanded on the charge of obtaining money and goods
to an immense extent under false pretences, tha.Court
was literally besieged with individuals of almost all
grades who had preferred charges against him, many of
which had resolved themselves into char cases of felony.

The depositions were read over by Mr. Vine, thechiti
clerk, and the following are among the prisoner's numer.
ousdelinquencies:—

Ruth Arnold, the widow of a seaman in her Majesty's
service, residing at Gravesend, stated that the pri-
soner resided in her house a few weeks since,
representing himself as a ship's carpenter, and
stating that he had upwards of four hundred pounds,
the produce of his savings, in the bank of that place.
After remaining some time with her, and living sumptu-
ously at her expense, the prisoner induced her to lend
him a few shillings. She had then wholly lost sight of
him ; and on examining her drawers soon after his
departure she discovered that a certificate for a large
amount of prize-money, due to her late husband, had
disappeared.
H. Knowles, City police-constable 623, produced the
certificate, which was identified by Mrs. Arnold, and
also a number of school-books and children's samplers,
which were found upon the prisoner at the time of his
apprehension. rhe latter articles were identified by
Charles Holmes, a journeyman carpenter in Fashion-
street, Spitalfields, who proved that after lodging some
time at his house the prisoner suddenly absconded, and,
besides the property in question, carried off the whole
of his tools.

Mr. Thomas Goddard, landlord of the King's Arms
Tavern, at Gravesend ; Mrs. Brocknall, the wife of a
shoemaker, in Shoreditcb, from whom the prisoner ob-
tained the money on the pretence that he was about to
receive 2501. at the Jamaica Coffee•house, the amount of
his wages as a carpenter on board the Sarah, American
liner; Mr. Moss, of Tottenham•court-road, who supplied
him with a suit of clothes that he might appear in decent
trim at the Admiralty, to obtain a large accumulation of
prize-money; Mr. Pink, of Kilburn, and a host of other
persons, who had alike suffered from the prisoner's im-
positions, were in attendance.

The prisoner, who exhibited the greatest sang froid
throughout, and of whom it was said that he had been
convicted of felony at Guildford, in Surrey, was fully
committed for trial

THAMES.—(THIS DAY.)
This morning, prior to the opening of the Court, the
avenues leading to it were literally blocked up by a host
of poor German emigrants, who had squatted themselves
on the door-steps, and occupied every available nook
and corner, all eager for the arrival of the Magistrate,
that they might relate their grievances.
On Mr. Ballantine taking his seat on the bench, one
of their number, named Peter Bowman, was introduced,
and having been sworn, from his statement it appeared
that no less than 268 of them had taken a passage to
Quebec in the ship Juliet, Captain Verdon, and which
vessel was to sail this afternoon. Their grievances were
—first, that the ship, instead of being able to accommo-
date the whole 268 of them, had not stowage sufficient
for scarcely half that number; but what they principally
complained of was, that they had agreed with a Mr.
White, an extensive provision merchant, residing near
the principal entrance of the London Docks, to furnish
them with suitable supplies, for which they had paid
him 6/. per head ; but, on going on board, so far from
finding a proper sea stock, there was not—to use the
words of the witness—" as much as would go on his
thumb-nail."

Mr. BALLANTINE said they had better go to Mr.
White, who was a respectable man, and had lived near
the docks many years, as doubtless there must be some
mistake.

Ellis (the chief usher) informed the magistrate that
he understood that gentleman was at present at Graves-
end, and the ship was to sail this afternoon,
Mr. BALLANTINE then said that as the case stood at
present he had no jurisdiction, and advised them to lose
no time, but go immediately to Lieutenant Lane, the
Government emigration agent. They would find him at
his office at the London Docks, and he would take
prompt measures in their behalf; and if it turned out
that they had been defrauded in the manner they repre-
sented he would see them righted, the Government being
determined to look closely into these matters, as in the
recolt, case of Gardiner acid NPLean, who had been
traLsported for having practised gross frauds ou these
poor intended emigrants.
The applicants thanked his. Worship, and immediately
hastened ina body to Lieutenant Lane's Ace.
