BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

William Blake, who described himself as an " artist,"
but who had more of the appearance of a costermonger,
was charged before Mr. Henry with stealing a trunk
and its contents, consisting of various articles of wearing
apparel, the property of Mrs. Allister, a lady residing in
Alfred-place, Bedford-square.
It appeared that about a month ago Mrs. Allister em-
ployed the prisoner, who was in the habit of doing
porter's work, to carry a box containing some clothes,
&c., from Alfred-platee to Titchfield-street, for doing
which she was to give him Is. Two charwomen, who
were working for Mrs. Allister, were to go with him,
they also having parcels to carry. The women went on
first, the prisoner following, but when they got to Titch-
field-street they found that he was not with them.
Neither the prisoner nor the box were seen or
heard of until yesterday, when he was found in a
public-house.
The prisoner said that at the very moment when, as
Mrs. Allister had stated, he was in Alfred-place, Bed-
ford-square, he was, in fact, at the model prison, Pen-
towline, where he expected to get " a job." He had
been at the King's Arms, Tottenham-court-road, every
night, and had acted as pot-boy there in the absence of
the regular pot-boy, who was ill.
Mr. Henry remanded the prisoner for a week.

MARLBRO'-STREET.—(TH IS DAY.)
Peter Hogan, a carpenter, living at 8, Angel-court,
Great Windmill-street, was placed at the bar, charged
with stealing 300 sovereigns.
Bridget Walsh said she was a widow, living at 1,
Angel-court, Great Windmill-street, and had 300 sove-
reigns folded up in separate packets of paper, and placed
inside a box. She first missed her money on Monday
night, immediately after the defendant had been in her
room. He is her first cousin, living at his sister's, next
door, and well knew she had the money. He had been
in the habit of entering her room when she was out, and
on Monday she had left her keys behind her.
One of the police force in plain clothes said he had
taken the man into custody, and produced in Court 2181.
of the money, 1701. of which had been found in his hat,
and the rest about his pockets. A green silk purse found
on him was identified by the complainant as her property,
and as having been in the box, with the money.
Mr. HAnnwicK—What have you done with the rest
of the money ? Defendant—lt is all my own property.
The policeman said the defendant had purchased a
large quantity of wearing apparel. They had not been
able to discover any more of the money as 3et, but
might if time were given them.
Mr. llAnDwicK remanded the prisoner till Tuesday
next.

Hogan, before leaving the court, demanded some o
his own money, that he might employ an attorney ; bul
this, of course, was refused him by the Magistrate.

CLERKEN WELL.—(THIS DAY.)
A young girl about 20 years of age in the service of
Robert Latimer, an itinerant fish vender, was charged
with robbing him of 211.
The prosecutor's wife stated that the prisoner had
been in her service nearly four years, and latterly was
about being married. She (witness) had 211., which
consisted of the whole amount of her savings for a length
of time, and this she always hid in a particular spot in
her bed, and yesterday on going, according to her daily
custom, to look after her treasure, she found she had
been robbed of it. Iler suspicions immediately fell upon
the prisoner, as she had seen her in company that day
with the person to whom she was about being married,
and other circumstances having transpired, which in-
duced her to believe she had given the money to this
person, she was taken into custody.
Constable 10G G, stated that when he took the pri-
soner into custody she at first denied having seen the
man alluded to, or that she had taken the purse, but
subsequently that she had given it to him.
The prisoner, when called upon for her defence,
denied having made any such statement to the constable
and protested her innocence.
Mr. COOMBE remanded her for a week, in order that
the man to whom the money was given might be traced
, by the police.
