EXTENSIVE AND IMPUDENT ROBBERIES.— Thomas Scott,
a labourer, was charged with stealing lead and brass frog,
the premises of Messrs. Wainwright and Gadsden, sugar"
refiners, in Cable-street, Whitechapel.
Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, conducted the prosecution,
and said two other men, named John Sullivan and John
Crouch, had been convicted for their share in the robbery,
and sentenced, one to 18 months, and the other to 13
months' imprisonment, both with hard labour.
Police-sergeant Dunaway, 11 H, John Shepperd, con-
stable, 40 H, Joseph Newman, 20 H, and other witnesses'
proved that some extensive premises in the occupation of
the prosecutors in Cable-street had been robbed of lead
and brass and other materials of great value, that on the
night of the 11th of September last the police officers kel t
watch, and saw the prisoners Scott, Snliivan, and Croocil
engaged in the work of plunder, and that on Dunaway
xamining the roof of 101, Cable-street, he found on the
garden wall a drawer full of brass taps and copper'
More brass taps and copper rivets were discovered on the
roof of No. 103, Cable-street. There was a large stare of
eimilur articles iu the same house. Sullivan and Crouch
were apprehended at the time, and tried at the evening
sessions. Dunaway searched the premises of Crouch, it
marine store dealer on the night of the 11th September
and found there 371bs of newly cut gutter lead under
the counter. Dunaway took the lead to the roof
of No. 101, Cable-street. The nail holes in the
lead corresponded with the marks on the roof
where lead had been ripped off. The complicity of the
prisoner in the robbery, and that he threw his cap over it
wall while being pursued on the 11th of September, was
clearly made out. Mr. Charles Young also called wit"
nesses to prove that a large quantity of valuable pro"
perty had been removed from Wainwright and Gadsdeo4
premises.

The prisoner, who has been playing the game of hid°
and seek since the robbery in question, made no defence
and wes committed fur trial.
