at half-past :four o'clock, and went direct to the pantry,
which he found locked. The key, which was usually
placed in a particular place was not to be found ; he immediately
went to his mistress, who desired him to break open the pantry
door; found all the plate, which was used daily, gone. Searched
further, and missed fifty table spoons, forty-two large forks,
twelve dessert forks, twenty-seven dessert spoons, four salt
spoons, three soup ladles, fourteen dessert forks, two negus
ladles, pair of sugar tongs, embossed tea-pot, cream pot, sugar
basin, fifteen tea spoons, and a great number of other articles.
The trays, which were not silver, had not been removed.
and the prisoner was not to be found. Delivered to the pri-
soner since he had been in custody some linen, which the
laundress had to wash at the time the prisoner absconded, but
which he never called for. Saw the prisoner in custody, and
on asking him the cause of his leaving, he said he had done
nothing, but he had been out and got drunk, and did not like
to return. He said he had been since to many places. The
witness put other questions to him, but he said he would not
answer any questions. Had asked him some questions about
the robbery. The plate that was missed was worth 300/.
Cross-examined by the Prisoner—there were people at work
in the house who might have got into the pantry. The key of
the chest in which the plate was kept was among others on a
bunch, and nobody but the prisoner could tell the key. On
returning found the bunch of keys where he left it.
Mr. John Mitchell, jun. resided with his father in Berkeley-
square. Had some plate ai the house of his father, all of
which was missing. Never authorised the prisoner to remove
any plate. _ .

Cross-examined by the prisoner-=-Received a good character
with the prisoner.

Elizabeth Bridges, lady's maid in the service of Mr. Mitchell.
This witness corroborated the evidence of the head butler as
to the plate being safe in thepress In the pantry, and uhich upon
her going out she left the prisoner.
Cross-examined by the prisoner—lt was possible that some
person might have gone to the pantry and removed the plate
other than the prisoner.
Sarah Turner, house-maid, saw the prisoner place some-
thing on the dresser behind the door, which made a noise like
plate, something like spoons and forks.
Ann Lowe, kitchen-maid—Saw the prisoner on the day the
plate was missing. About a quarter past three o'clock, was
taking in some fish, when the prisoner came to her
and said, Mrs. Turner is out, and Mr. Bell is out I
suppose, and asked,tor some silver, and pointing his finger
to the area door, he said, if that bell should ring, answer it;
and also stated, do you know which way Mrs. Turner is gone,
and how long she will be as she has gone to help a young friend
to cook a dinner ? The prisoner then went away, and witness
saw him come out of the servant's hall, with his bat in his
hand, and proceed towards the area gate, which was near the
pantry door. Could not tell whether he went into the pantry
or out of the door. Could not see the pantry-door from the
situation in which she was. The prisoner left the house before
the fishmonger departed.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrivals of all descriptions of Grain during the past
week were tolerably good, and the trade remained dull at
former prices for nearly every article in the trade. This
morning there are few fresh supplies, with a moderate atten.
dance of buyers. The trade for fine dry Wheat has again
met a small improvement, but other qualities remain as last
quoted, with little doing. Barley, for malting, has fully
maintained last quotations, other kinds are rather lower.
Beans meet so limited a demand, that the prices are almost
nominal. Pease of both kinds are dull, and rather lower.
Oats are in tolerable plenty, and the trade remains dull, at
Is. per quarter decline from the terms of this day se'nnight.
The Flour trade is firm for such parcels as are good, and prices
remain as last reported.
