GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.)

James O'Brien, a lad about fifteen years of age, was
brought before Mr. Alderman WOOD, for stealing 32/.
from his father, and a man named William Lyons was
also charged with inciting him to commit the robbery.
O'Brien being told by the Alderman that he might
make any statement he chose without prejudice to
himself, said that Lyons induced him to steal the
money, by telling him he would be enabled to win
large sums playing skittles. They went to several
public•houses where the elder prisoner feigned to lose
sums varying from 10s. to 61. to a person to whom he
said he did not know, but who was afterwards found to
be an accomplice. The money lost was paid by
O'Brien.

Both prisoners were remanded to Thursday next.
