MYSTERIOUSDISAPPEARANCE.— The farmer, Rafter,
Ns 1 uyie mysterious disappearance we noticed on Wednesday
last, has not yot been found or heard of, notwithstandingthat the magistrates bold daily inyestigations into the matter,
and all the bogs, streams, and rivers in the neighbourhood
have b' en repeatedly searched and dragged. It would appear
that the man was engaged in a family dispute about

left a wife and family, but they are in rather comfortable
circumstances.—Kilkenny Moderator,

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.
Ronucny.—John Connell, aged 27, described as a labourer,
was charged with robbing from the door of ➢lr. Henry
Withers, hosier, stockings to the value of 105. The case
was proved, and the prisoner sentenced to six MoLiths' im-
prisonment with hard labour.
John Wiliams, 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
:ried in the course of the day.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Robert Jenkins and James Williams, two persons haying
the appearance of respectable tradesmen, were placed at the
bar before Mr. Jardine, charged with attempting to obtain
goods from Mr. Prew, tailor, 247, Strand, by moans 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. He, 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.
hams in about an hour and a half, and he gave them into
eustodyt_

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
further inquiry. The prisoners must therefore be remanded
till Friday nett.—Remanded accordingly.

MARLBRO'-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 he had taken a great-coat
from off the pegs, and had thrown it behind where he was
standing. Be asked him what he was doing with the coat,
when he replied that it had just fallen off one of the pegs.
Ile then told him to be off about his business, or he would
give him in charge. Shortly afterwards the prisoner came,
and said that he wss sent from the King and Ship public-
house, in Regent-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 him 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 Monday next.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
Five respectably dressed young men, named Milner, Green,
Scales, Want, and Phitlipts, 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. CosinE ordered each of them to pay a fine of 55., and
in default to be imprisoned for three days.
Charles Blansgrove, 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 boots 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.

James Aewitt, in the employment of Messrs. Pickford and
WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
Co charged with stealing a bag containing two bushels of
peas, and William fiwho described himself as a baker's
dust collector, with receiving the same, well knowing them
:me.r
to
have been stolen, were placed at the bar.
Sergeant Brennan, of the detective force, stated that he
ob-
served
.Hewitt 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. l'aris, 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-
ceeding,, and the depo>itions were at length desired to be
made out, preparatory to the prisoners' lull committal for
trial, and they were accordingly removed for that purpose.
It was stated that a similar system of robbery had besn
carried on for several years past.

her master, Mr. Denny, a surgeon in the London-road, a cap
and other trifling articles, which she bad 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. CLARK-sort, who endea-
voured to 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.
