IMPUDENT ROBBERY BY A JUVENILE THIEF,---,John
Clark, a smart•looking lad, sixteen years of age, was
placed at the bar before Mr. Combe, charged with steal-
ing a rump of beef, weighing thirteen pounds, from the
shop of Mr. Barber, butcher, at No. 22, Great Dover-
road, Southwark. _ .

Richard Barber, son of the prosecutor, said that
between 7 and 8 o'clock on the previous evening, he was
standing a few yards from the shop looking at some
musicians, and on turning ronnd he saw the prisoner
and another lad near the shop door. The prisoner was
coming out with a rump of beef wrapped up in a hand-
kerchief, when he seized hold of him. The prisoner said
" Let me go; I'll not do it again." Witness, however,
kept hold of him, and handed him. overto the custody of
a police constable. Witness had seen the beef safe
near the scales about five minutes before, and it was
worth eight shillings.
Mr. Combo asked whether anything was known of
the prisoner ?

Police constable 96 M, who took him into custody,
informed his worship that he knew nothing of him, but
the manner in which he committed the robbery con
vinced him that he was an expert thief.
The magistrate asked the prisoner whether he would
prefer being tried by him or go to the sessions ?
He replied that he would sooner be tried at once and
have it all over. He was guilty of stealing the beef.

Mr. Combe asked him where his friends resided ?

He replied that he should not tell that, as he did not
want them to know he was in prison. He had left some
time, and got money as well as he could.
Mr. Combe asked him what he was going to do with
the beef ?

The prisoner—Why, eat it, to be sure. What else
should I do with it ?

Mr. Combe told him that be appeared to be an im-
pudent young thief, and it was no use wasting time to
speak to him. He should sentence him to four months'
hard taoour in Wandsworth House

The prisoner was then removed by the gaoler laughing,

descriptions ruled steady, but only a retail business was
transacted in them, at full quotations.
Barley and malt changed hands steadily, at fully late
rates.

There was a steady demand for oats, at very fall prices.
Both beans and peas moved of: steadily, at extreme
rates.

THE GASWORKS AT WHLTEFRIAES.—Yesterday, at a
court of the City Commission of Sewers, a number of
police officers gave evidence respecting the effects upon
their health of the exhalations, &c., from the gasworks
at Whitefriars. Among those examined were Inspectors
Saunders and Shelton, Sergeant Knight, police officers
Monk, Robinson, &c. The effluvium of the works when
the wind blew from the river was described as peculiarly
offensive, and productive of sickness and ill-health amoeg
the officers on the beat. Some of them had been removed
in consequence. Mr. Childs, surgeon to the police force,
then gave, from his books, statements relative to the
health of the officers during certain periods. and he rip-
peered to consider that the officers who attended the dis-
trict in which the gasworks Are situated were not less
healthy than those in other metropolitan dititricts ; not,
however, he added, that he had any reason to doubt the
veracity of the officers who had been examined, and who
no doubt properly described the effects produced upon
themselves. Mr. Seaward, of Chatham-place, strongly
denounced the gasworks as an intolerable nuisance. The
houses in the district were falling in value daily, arid
would, if the nuisance were not abated, be exempted from
respectable occupation. Mr. Gray, on behalf Of the com-
pany, having stated that a c.neplete answer to the impu-
tations would be ready in a few days, the chairman of
the court said that Mr. Seaward should have notice of
the day which the court would appoint for hearing evi-
dence which Mr. Seaward said he cola bring forward,
but he (the chairman) feared that the evidence could not
be taken on the day appointed to receive Mr. Gray's
counter-statements. The proceedings were then ad-
journe4.
