SOUTHWARK.

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 round 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 over to 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 ho 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 t

Mr. Combs told him that he 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 labour in Wandsworth House of Correction.

Tho prisoner was then removed by the gaoler laughing.
