James Managan, a youth, aged 15, well known to the
police as an adept in the art of picking pockets, was charged
with stealing a purse, containing two sovereigns and Bs. 6d.

a gentleman, at present staying at Lemon's Hotel, Park-
street, Grosvenor-square.

morning, he was walking down Oxford-street, when he was
informe that his pocket has been picked, he turned round,
when he saw the prisoner in custody, and his purse, which

sent to prison. He had a wife and four children dependant
upon him for support, and the parish authorities refused
