MARLBRO'-STREET7-(THIS DAY

Charles Perry, a well-known thief, was placed at the
bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with having stolen a
clock, value 18s., the property of Mr. Isaac Jacobson,
jeweller, 315, Oxford-street.
Jacob Myers, shopman to the prosecutor, said on
Saturday night, he observed the prisoner lurking about
the front of the shop, near a shelf on which was placed
the clock produced. Having occasion to serve a cus-
tomer, his attentio❑ was taken from the prisoner for a
few minutes. On his return to the shop-door he
looked at the shelf, and missed the clock. He imme-
diately suspected the prisoner as being the thief, and
was about running after him when he saw the clock
standing on the pavement, close by the corner of a gate-
way. Tho prisoner was subsequently feund secreted
' behind one of the gates, and given into custody. On
passing the shop towards the station the prisoner broke
two large squares of glass.
The prisoner, who protested his innocence of the
charge imputed to him, was committed for tral.

William Poore, a weaver, was charged, and two others,
not in custody, with breaking into the dwelling-house of
Mr. John Stread, Willow-walk, Barnet-grove, Bethnal-
green.
It appeared from the evidence of a witness named
Mitchell, that his attention was directed to the house of
the prosecutor on Saturday evening by a lad named
Cole, who said that he had seen three strange men in
the back parlour. On getting to the rear of the house
Mitchell climbed over the wall, whilst the youth pro-
ceeded to the front. The door was unlocked, and three
men rushed out and ran awayl in different directions.
Witness, who never lost sighttof the prisoner, caught
him in the Bird-cage-walk. The others succeeded in
making their escape. A desk and some drawers were
broken open, and their contents strewn about. Several
articles of value had been stolen.—The prisoner was
remanded.

Railway Company.
Thomas Bonner, :foreman of the locomotive depart-
ment of the company at New-cross station, identified
the tools as the property of his employers.
Police-constable 104 P had taken the prisoner into
custody. The tongs were found in his water troughs, I
beside the furnace. He could not explain how they got
there.
Another witness, who had been employed by the pri-
soner, said that some three or four months ago, a man,
who used to work upon the railway, came to the shop
and offered the tools now produced for sale. They
were bought by the prisoner fur 2s. Witness and the
prisoner's son were then ordered to erase the marks of
the compny from the different articles, the prisoner
giving them instructions while they were doing so.
Prisoner—Oh, John!
In answer to questions from the magistrate, witness
stated what were the different marks erased. They were
the marks of the company.
