A PICKPOCKET ♦T TUB HAYMARKET TUaATRE.—
Robert Owen, 22, who gave a false address, was charged
with attempting to pick pockets at the Haymarket Theatre.
Brown, 304 A, who is doing duty at the theatre, said
that on the previous afternoon, as the audience were leaving
the theatre, about 4 o'clock, there having been a day per-
formance, he noticed the prisoner enter the theatre with a
pair of gloves and an umbrella in his hand. The prisoner
then went to the passage of the dress circle, and
hung the umbrella up the sleeve of his coat,
and this caused - him to suspect the prisoner. The
prisoner—then followed two ladies, who were leaving,
placing himself on the right hand side of one, and putting
his left hand in the pocket of one of the ladies. He then
saw him make some other attempts, and at last caught his
hand in the pocket of an old lady, and on his asking her if
she had lost anything, she replied that she had not ; for
she had fortunately got her purse secure in her hand. On
searching him he found on him a gold watch, a chain, and
a ring, with the initials "W. R. P." The address the
prisoner gave was false.

Sergeant Cole, 13 C, said he knew the prisoner to be a
;hief. On the 23d of January, 1858, he was convicted at
;his court of robbing a female of her purse, and was sen-
;once dto three months' imprisonment. He then fortnd
on the prisoner a valuable gold ring belonging to a captain
in the Indian array, who owned it through the publicity
given to the case in the newspapers. He then gave another
name.
