DARING ROBBERY.—Joseph William ICew, a pauper, was
brought before Mr. Benson, charged with stealing a quan-
tity of clothing and stores, the property of the guardians
of the City of London Union.

Mr. John Saunders, the master of the City Union House,
Bow-road, said that on the 27th of July the prisoner, and
another man named Benjamin Stroud, who were admitted
the night before, broke out of the house with four pairs
of corduroy trousers, a cap, three sheets, two pairs of
shoes, and a cloth jacket, worth in ail £2. The
property was taken from the stores at four
o'clock in the morning. Stroud was taken and con-
victed shortly afterwards. The prisoner was not taken
into custody until last night. Kew had been a great
trouble to the guardians. They obtained good employ-
ment in a builder's yard for him same time ago, and next
morning he stole all the workmen's tools, and absconded.
...The prisoner, who had ordered all the witnesses out of
court before any evidence had been heard, asked them
all when they bad given their evidence, if they expected
any money for giving their testimony, to which they all
replied in the negative. He then pleaded guilty.
Mr. Benson said.he richly deserved penal servitude, and
that he had been previously convicted of felony four years
ago. He sentenced the prisoner to six months' imprison-
ment and hard labour.
