Mr. HENRY—Then I assure you it is quite pos-
sible to do such a thing, for there are hundreds of
men in London who could do it without your having
the slightest notion of it.
Mr. HENRY asked the prisoner whether he refused
to give his address, as he had done on a former occa••
sion. The prisoner replied if it was absolutely
necessary he would. He resided at No. 48, Penton-
street, and Ind done so for three years.
Mr. HENRY inquired whether he was known ?
West said he was in custody at this court six years
ago on suspicion, and he believed he was known to
many other officers.

Sjrjeant Thompson said he had heard that he had
three months' imprisonment for something he had
done at Chester races. He was informed of this by
Stowell, the informer.

Mr. LIENRY 4esired that Stowell might be ordered
to attend and give evidence of this fact on Tuesday
next.

It seems that West had watched the prisoner,
knowing his character, and took him into custody
almost instantly after he had quitted the omnibus, but
in the meantime he had contrived to get rid of the
money.
The prisoner was remanded until Tuesday next.
JOSEPH ADY.-Mr. Peacock, solicitor to the Post-
office, applied to Mr. Henry for a warrant to appre-
hend Joseph Ady. It will be recollected that he was
convicted some time since at this cou:t, and ordered
to pay for the postage of certain unpaid letters to the
amount of upwards of 16/. He promised to pay, if
allowed time ; but, not having made his appearance
at Mr. Peacock's, an execution was issued against
his goods ; but on attempting to levy this, Joseph
produced a receipt, signed by his sister, proving that
the property had all been assigned over to her. Under
these circumstances, Mr. Peacock now attended to
obtain a warrant against his body, in order, if pos-
sible, to break him of his cacoethes scribendi, for he
was still carrying on his business as briskly as ever,
and innumerable letters from him passed through the
Post•othce daily.
Mr. HENRY said he would put the law in force to
the utmost extent to stop him, and ordered that the
warrant shouli be issued immediately.

KINDNESS ILL-REQ,UITED.—On Saturday, Mary
Robertson, possessing any thing but a " chiseled
face," was placed at the bar on a charge of having
robbed Mrs. Brown, a lodger in the house of Mr.
Taylor, Paddington-green.
It appeared from the evidence of Mrs. Brown, that
she had been out on the previous evening making
some purchases, and on her way home she was ap-
pealed to by the prisoner in the most pathetic terms,
describing herself and family in a state of the most
deplorable destitution, without having partaken of the
least particle of food for the preceding twenty-four
hours. Mrs. Brown, humanely feeling compassion
for her unfortunate lot, took her to her lodgings, and
there supplied her with food and drink. The com-
plainant, feeling exceedingly tired after a long day's
walk, lay down to rest herself, and soon fell fast
asleep, but was after a short space of time roused up
by the landlord, who had stopped the prisoner endea-
vouring to make her escape by the front door, and
whose appearance had excited his suspicion. On her
was found 7121 yards of silk, a victorine, and several
other articles of female costunterie, which on examina-
tion proved to be the property of Mrs. Brown.
It appeared, from the statement of several con-
stables, that the prisoner was an old offender, and
time being requisite to inquire into the particulars
of the case, the prisoner was remanded until next
Friday.
A cadaverous ill-looking customer, by name John
Harvey, was next placed at the bar, charged with
having committed a most audacious robbery, the cir-
cumstances connected with which are as follows :

About a month ago Mr. Allen, of Houndsditch,
sent the prisoner to purchase some grains for him,
having given him five half- crowns for that purpose ;
but the prisoner never returned. After a long search
he was captured by 158 D, and was recognised by
several constables as having been, for a length of time
past, connected with a gang of thieves.
The prisoner, notwithstanding his repeated repub-
lican cries of " Vive la liberte !" was immediately
committed for trial.
