LAMBETIL

Mr. Spurling identified the thermometer and magnet
produced as his property, and said he saw them sate in
his green- house on.the Friday night.
The policeman, in reply to a question from the magis-
trate as to whether the prisoner was known previous to
the present transaction to the police, said that he had
ascertained he had been is custody both for embezzle-
ment and obtaining goods on account of his parents.
The prisoner said, the policeman was mistaken. The
charge for which he had been before Mr. Bingham, the
magistrate, was for attempting to shoot his lather ; but
_this he could assure his Worship was not true, as he
hadunrotention to shoot his parent.
NORTON thought the case was one which he
should. send before a jary, and committed the prisoner
for trial.

William Henry Asset, a youth of 16 years of age, was
placed within the felons' dock before Mr. Norton, on a
charge of breaking into the premises of Mr. Percival
Spurling, a stockbroker, residing in Harden's -road,
Peckham, and stealing therefrom a thermometer, a
magnet, and other articles of property.
Police-constable William Fitzgerald, 145 P, deposed
that at five o'clock on the morning of Saturday, the Bth
inst., he saw the prisoner in front of the house of Mr.
Spurling, and suspecting from his manner that something
was wrong, he questioned him as to his business there.
The prisoner replied that he was employed all night in
wood-chopping, and he was waiting fur his brother,
who was employed with him. Witness perceiving
something bulky under his coat, threw the latter open,
and found that the article concealed was the stock -
of a centre-bit, and the prisoner not giving a satisfac-
tory account of his possession of the article, he took him
to the station-house. He then searched the prisoner,.
and found concealed about him the thermometer and the
magnet produced. He then went back to the premises
of Mr. Spurling, and discovered that the gate leading to
the garden was open, and also ,tlqe door of the green-
house. He also found the gatelat an adjoining garden
open,and on a grassplot he found a centrebit which ex-
actly fitted the stock found upon the prisoner, and a
piece of candle.
