charged in the indictment, and on being sent for this amount
the prisoner brought back a false answer and no money; it was
afterwards discovered that be had received the money. On that
day inquiry was made at the bank where Mr. Bottrell does
business, and it was found that there was a defalcation,
through Bennett, of 701. Upon being spoken to about this,
he said it was not so much as this ; and added, that he had
lost 2CV. out of his pocket, but had nothing of either sum
except a few halfpence. In his box was found 101. 19s.
Susan Parfrey, the customer in question, said she paid her
bills to Bennett when they were asked for, and produced re-
milks bearing Bennett's signature for the sums charged in
the indictment.

The cue was conducted by Mr. Balantine, and the defence
by Mr. Robinson.
The jury feund the prisoner Guilty, and the Court sen-
tenced him to twelve months' imprisonment and hard
labour.

Charles Aubrey, poulterer, indicted for stealing silver
monies to the amount of 54 95., the property of Arthur
Brideson, his master, pleaded guilty.
The Court, in consideration of the character given him by
the prosecutor, sentenced the prisoner only to three months'
imprisonment and hard labour.
George Tucker pleaded guilty to the charge of embezzling
and stealing about 155., the property of his mistress. He
had been convicted on a former charge of a similar kind, and
the Court sentenced him to seven years transportation.
Henry Parker was placed at the bar indicted for stealing a
diamond pin, value 201., from the person of P. M. Cumming.
Mr. P. M. Cumming said he was near the end of Oxford-street,
about half-past eleven o'clock on the evening of the 4th of
May, and inquired the way to Tottenham-court-road of a
young man he saw standing before him. This person walked
with him towards Tottenham-court-road, and, at the
request of the prosecutor, went into a house at the
corner of University-street, where they had some old ale.
About an hour after they left the house, the prosecutor
walking first, when the person

him threw his arm over hie
dia-
mond pin which stuck in the front of his shirt, and, at the
same time pointing up Tottenham-court-rood, said
to the witness that was his way. The witness
seized him and called out " Stop thief," but in
the struggle was dragged on his knees, and the prisoner
ran away. He could not swear that the prisoner was the
same person, but he was quite sure that the person who had
been in company with him was the same who took the pin.
John Buck, the potboy at the public-house, remembered
both persons being in the parlour, and was quite sure the

ran off down University-street. Witness followed libn, grid

On Saturday
FIRS AT THE NEW MODEL =sox.—
New Model Prison,the
PCIItOIII7IIIO, was discovered to be on fire. Mr.
BraidwOod, the superintendent of the brigade, and Mr. Connorton, the
Chief officer of the West of England firemen, instantly started with their
engines to the scene of conflagration. -On reaching that establishment
it was found that the only fire that had occurred was in one of the
chimiieyti, no doubt caused by an accumulation of soot therein. The
greatest excitement prevailed in the neighbourhood 'for some time,
the flames having risen a considerable distance above the root,
thereby leading many permit to IlliPPoso that the place was au
fire.
