SOUTHWARK.

James Byron, a marine-store dealer, in Kent-street,
was charged, before Mr. Seeker, with having purchased
stolen goods.
A man named Regan stated that for some time past
his children wero in the habit of robbing him of sheets,
blankets, towels, napkins, and various other articles. He
was at a loss to know how they disposed of the plunder,
until at length be ascertained that they .ere in the habit
of selling the various articles at Lie prisoner's shop.
He (complainant) went there, and found a pair
of overalls, which one of his children had
only stolen a fewdays previously. He mentioned
the fact to the prisoner, who, however, refused to de-
liver them up, and actually sold them to a woman for a
sum treble that which he gave for them. Regan added
that it was a hard case fora man to have his children
encouraged by men such as the defendant, who with
avidity purchased whatever property was brought to their
shops, without the slightest inquiry as to how it was
obtained, whether the produce of plunder or otherwise.
The defendant said he was very particular, and denied
that he was in the practice of buying stolen goods. He
added, that a little boy came to his shoo with the over-
alls, and said ho was sent by his mother tg• sell them, and
not doubting his word, he bought them.
Mr. SECKER said he ought to have doubted the child,
and in terms of severe reprobation denounced the con-
duct of persons who purchased articles—regardless whe-
ther they were stolen or not—from children such as those
belonging to the complainant. The Magistrate then sen-
tenced the defendant to pay to the prosecutor the full
value of the articles he had purchased of his children ;
and directed that if he did not immediately comply, a
warrant should be issued to seize his goods and chattels
to cover the amount.

THA ill E S.
EXTENSIVE PLUNDER.—George Stollart, a young
man about 24 years of age, was charged plundering
his employer, Mr. David Le Bentiliin, to an extent at
present unknown, but the property and moneys imme-
diately recovered amount to nearly 1401.
The prisoner, being observed by the police carrying a
box which they suspected to contain stolen property,
was detained and examined, and a quantity of goods
identified by his employer were found in the box.
.Va-
rious sums of money were also found in bags belonging
to the prisoner, as also a bank book of the East London
Savings' Batik, with acknowledgments for 301. paid in
up to August 23, 1845, and a letter to the prisoner from
his wife, which, however, had no bearing upon the case.
In answer to Mr. Pelham, who attended for the pro-
secutor,
Mr. Le I3entillin said that the prisoner's salary last
year was only 351. lie had been about five years in his
service, with an annually-increasing salary.
Mr. Pelham said he would not carry the case further
that day, and the prisoner, who declined saying anything
in his defence, was remanded for a week.

In Sheffield there are stated to be 3,330 persons
employed in the various processes of the manufacture of
pocket-knivee. In this number are included 2,400 setters-
in; 430 pen blade grinders ; 150 pocket bl tile grinders ;
270 blade forgers; and 110 scale forgers.
NumErtors ACCIDENTS. - Yesterday, the follow-
ing accidents were admitted into the wards or the Lon-
don Hospital :---The first case was that of William
Webb, aged thirty years, who, whilst employed in load-
ing a cart with grains, at Abbott's brewery, Bow, East
Middlesex, slipped, and fell therefrom, and the horses
and the fore wheels passed over his body, and he had
received a severe lacerated scalp wound, one of his arms
was broken, together with his shoulder bone, both jaws
were broke, and several ribs fractured. Nut the
slightest hopes could be entertained of recovery. The
second case was that of John Warner, a carpenter, aged
S 2 years. He was employed at the wharf of the
Thorneley Coal Company, at Ratcliffe-cross, Lime-
house,.and was cutting a large piece of timber with an
adze, when the axe glanced off and lodged itself between
the nude and instep, nearly severing the foot. The
third case was that of Charles Page, aged fifty years,
who, when going along the Leytonstone-road, Essex,
with a cart loaded with hay, was knocked down by
another vehicle, and the wheels passed over and broke
both his legs.
