BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

James Stow and George Rennie were charged before
Mr. Jardine with stealing a dog. A policeman of the
F division, observing the prisoners hurrying along
through Compton street at half-past twelve o'clock last
night, dragging by a chain a remarkably fine young
Newfoundland dog, of the best breed and figure, ques-
tioned them. They said they wore taking the dog to a
person in Peter-street, Seven-dials, but they could give
no satisfactory account of the person who gave the dog
into their charge for that purpose. The person named
disowned all acquaintance with them, and would have
" nothing to say to the dog."—(A laugh.) The con-
stable took them to the station-house, when Stow said
the dog followed him in tt e street, and Rennie advised
him to take him to the person in Peter-street to take
care of.—(A laugh.)
Mr. JARDINE was sure the owner of so fine an animal
bad not allowed him to go at large in a neglected man-
ner. No doubt some person would soon come forward
to claim him, when it would better appear how he came
into the possession of the prisoners. lie should there-
fore remand them to Friday.

MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY)

ROBBERY.—James Johnson, a Well dressed young
man, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham charged
with having stolen a book from the Soho Chambers,
Compton-street, the property of a gentleman named
Crick.

George Brown, steward at the above chambers, said
the prisoner occupied a room therein, and on Saturday
he (prisoner) and three other gentlemen were in the
reading-room; the prisoner opened one of the cupboards
and took therefrom a volume of " Fownes' Chemistry,"
belonging to Mr. Crick, a gentleman Rho also occupied
rooms at the Soho Chambers. About an hour after-
wards the book was missed, and as it could not be found
it was suspected that the prisoner, in whose pos-
session it was seen last,.had taken it. Witness accord-
ingly gave information to the police, who searched the
various book-stalls in the neighbourhood, and found that
it had been sold to a bookseller named Glaisier, 471,
Oxford-street, and from the description he gave of the
person from whom he bought it, the prisoner was given
into custody.
Mr. Crick proved that the book produced was his
property.

Mr. alaisier said he purchased the book on Saturday
afternoon last; but he could not swear that the prisoner
was the maa who sold it to him.

Mr. BINGHAM said, under these circumstances, he
must discharge the prisoner, as there did not appear a
" tittle" of evidence against him.
