A PLEASANT PLACE TO CARRY •N BUSINESS.—John
Murphy, an audacious lad, aged 18, who has been sum-
marily convicted of larceny six times, was brought before
Mr. Selfe charged with stealing a waistcoat and a pair of
trousers from the shop of Mr. Eugene Reardon, pawn-
broker and salesman, No. 62, Broad-street, Ratcliff. The
property was exposed for sale outside Mr. Reardon's shop
on Tuesday last, and the prisoner was seen to remove it
and run away. He was pursued, but managed to escape
and conceal himself in an Irish colony, called Harris's-
court, 200 yards from Mr. Reardon's house. He was cap-
tured on Friday in Harris's-court, and the trousers he had
stolen were found upon him. They were valued at 7s. 6d.
The waistcoat had been pawned. Mr. Reardon
said he had lost £lOO worth of property under precisely
similar circumstances during the last two and a half years.
Mr. Selfe—You must expect it, Mr. Reardon. You ex-
pose goods for sale outside your shop, which you ought
not to do.

Mr. Reardon—The clothes were beyond the reach of any
boy.

Mr. Selfe—Not beyond the prisoner's reach, for some how
or other he got them down.
Mr. Reardon—The thieves from Harris's-court come into
my shop and steal goods. Nothing is safe frora their in.
Broad-street and Brook-street.

Mr. Selfe—Then Ratcliff must be a pleasant place to
carry on business.

A police-constable named Fry, 320 K, said the prisoner
had been summarily convicted six times, and was the worst
thief in the district. His father, who was convicted of
stabbing a man, died in prison eight months ago.
Mr. Selfe committed the prisoner for trial.
The prisoner (insolently)— Can' t you do anything else?
