MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

DISTRESSING CASE.—Mr. John Paine, piano-
forte-maker, No. 3, Frederick-place, Hampstead-
road, brought his son, John Paine, a youth about
fifteen years of age, before Mr. DYER, yesterday, on
a charge of having robbed him of a 51. note and a
quantity of plate.
Mr. Paine, who appeared much affected at being
under the painful necessity of giving evidence against
his child, on his return home on Tuesday evening,
missed a .5/. Bank of England note from his desk,
He at once suspected that his son was the thief, as
he had before been guilty of misconduct, and upon
instituting a thorough search, he discovered that his
son had also taken fourteen silver spoons and two
pair of silver sugar tongs.
A constable, named Godfrey, belonging to the
C Division, on being informed of the robbery, went
in search of the prisoner, and finding him in Co-
ventry-street, in company wirh two prostitutes, he
took him into custody, and conveyed him to the
station-house. On searching him a .5/. note was
found, with four duplicates of the spoons, and about
11. 16s. in money, which the prisoner acknowledged
to have obtained by pawning the spoons.
The prisoner was fully committed.
ROBBERY.—Benjamin Bryant, a youth of gen-
teel appearance, was brought up for final examina-
tion, charged with having robbed his aunt, a maiden
lady named Rummell, living atßichmond, of a check,
cash, and some silver spout's.
The prosecutrix had brought up her nephew from
his infancy, and had otherwise been at considerable
expense on his account. On Sunday week he asked

Castle. She accordingly set off with him ;
but when they had proceeded some distance, the
prisoner begged her to wait for a few moments as
he had forgotten something. He then left her and
ran back to the house, and having sent tne servant
out of the way, he proceeded to his aunt's bed-
room, and took a check for 121., about 15/. in cash,
and 22 silver spoons, with which he absconded,

EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—Yesterday, Mrs.,

whitesmith and brass-founder, residing at 11°'
Sale-street, Edgware-road, was placed at theme:

of Mr. John Bradbury, linen-draper, No. 186,
ford-street.
Thomas Stone, shopman to Mr. Bradbury?' fed
that the prisoner came to his shop about 71
o'clock on Tuesday evening, and asked to look'
some habit-shirts, when, after examining scup
she agreed to purchase one for 2s. 6d., anp
'
quested to be shown some shoe ribbon, a smalls,
nant of which she also agreed for. She then,
pressed a wish to see some linen, and witness i
in the act of complying with her orders, when g
observed her put two habit-shirts (which she I
previously concealed under her shawl) into hero
nettle. After looking at the linen, she said it
not fine enough, and was about to pay for the
des purchased, when he asked her if she bad
objection to let him look into her bag, upon 4 /
she put her hand in and took out one of the b
shirts which she had contrived to purloin. He
asked her if she had any more, when she took-)
the other, observing, " I hope you won't sat
thing about it, and I'll pay you for them: liJ.
ness then called his master, who requested to .
the prisoner's address, but she positively refuse;
give it, affirming that she would sooner die thsll(
so. A policeman was then called in, who collve't.
the prisoner to the Station-house.
:e
Mr. RAWLINSON cross-examined this wita-,
si
some.length, and remarked, that it was strong
duct on his part to allow the prisoner to retitle,
session of his master's goods, and not notice 11„,
the first instance, instead of complying with e'r,i
request, arid entrapping her into the offence. ;
Police constable John Little, D 74., took thei
soner into custody. On their way to the stet
house, she said she could not conceive how
shirts had got under her shawl, and denied that')
were ever in her reticule. She protested she is;
neither give her name nor address; but they A
obtained from her by the inspector in the 111070
On searching her, he found los. 6d. in silver'',
tortoise-shell combs, and nine counters. .0-

Mr. RAWLINSON (to Stone)—Did the pris°4

display any symptoms of insanity ? Stone"' i
the least that I could perceive.
iii
Mr. RAWLINSON—I do not sit here to deterelo
upon the prisoner's sanity, and, as a Magistlo
cannot say whether she is so far deprived of bet
son as to be incapable of committing a felortd
shall leave that question to be decided by a "1/0
but I shall not commit her to prison, but take
for her appearance at the sessions.
ll
Mr. Bradbury, the prosecutor, interposed,. ,Si
said it was his opinion that the prisoner was its
her right senses, when she committed the l'"
on the previous night.
id tl
Mr. RAwuNsor—Well, you are swearing 0
teeth of your own shopman; and I ask you, 1110,1
man of the world, whether refusing to give
address is not a striking proof of her sanity, I
whether it is not a rational although wicked aet'j
has become of late quite fashionable for persona 1
tected shoplifting to endeavour to get off on the ft
of insanity ; and, under all the circumstances,! I
bound to leave the present case to the decimal,
a Jury. J

Inspector Collard, shortly after the prisoner, 4
removed from the bar, informed the Magistr4.,
that she had been seized with fits in the 01'
house during the night, and was very near her v
finement.

Mr. RAWLINSON certainly had not noticed
the prisoner was enceinte; and such being thee"
he should not persist in requiring bail, but 6",
the case to stand over until after her accouchet64
Her friends accordingly left the office with he'

Yesterday, George Brent, of Johnson's-01

character, and observing him on the previous
