ROBBERY AT THE STATE PAPER OFFICE.--Yesterday
Patrick Manning, a labourer at his Majesty's State Paper
Office in St. James's Park, and Mark Manning, his son, a
boy only nine years of age, were brought before Mr. WHITE
for final examination, charged with stealing a copper chim-
ney from the State Paper Office.
On last Wednesday week the prisoner Mark Manning
was stopped by the police in Scotland-yard, carrying a cop-
per chimney. On being questioned the boy said that his
father gave it him to carry home. This not being satisfac-
tory, he was brought to the office, when he underwent an
exnmination, and repeated his story, stating that his father
worked at the State Paper-office.
Mr. WHITE remanded the prisoner, and directed Mr.
Carter, the inspector of the A division, to apprehend the
father, in which he succeeded.
Evidence was adduced to prove that the copper chimney
was taken away from the State Paper Office.
Mr. WHITE asked the elder prisoner what he had to say
to the charge ? The prisoner found the copper chimney

amongst some old rubbish, and did not think it was of
any use.
Mr. WHITE in very severe terms animadverted on the
conduct of the prisoner in teaching his own child to become
a thief. •
The prisoners were fully committed for trial.
A poor man named Keppel attended before Messrs.
GREGORIE and WHITE, with Mr. Bowers, one of the over-,
seers of St. Luke's, Chelsea, to obtain the Magistrates
signature to an order made upon the parochial authorities
at Guildford for the payment of 1/. 10s. 6d. paid by Mr.
Bowers for the support of Keppel and his family, they
belonging to the parish of Guildford.
Keppel and his family belong to Guildford, but have
lately been living in St. Luke's, Chelsea. Being in extreme
ill health he was unable to work, and applied to the over-
seers for relief : he was too ill to be passed to his parish,
and Mr. Bowers relieved him and got him medical advice.
Both him and his family were now able to be passed to their
parish, and the expenses he had been at amounted to
IL 10s. 6d.
MAGISTRATE—What family has the man? Overseer—A
wife and two children.

Mr. WHITE—I do not mean to cast the slightest iroP"

to pay it over again.
