CRUELTY TO A CALF BY A DROVER.-- William, Ford-
halm, a drover, was brought before Mr. Seeker, by Geo.
Walker, an omcer of the Royal S)ciety for the Preven-
tion of Cruelty to Animals, charged with exercising
great cruelty to a calf he was driving.

Walker said that on Friday afteruooa he was on duty
in the Blackfriars-road, when he saw the prisoner driv-
ing a calf along towards the Obelisk. Another man
was in charge of a cow, and because the call jumped on
to the pathway the prisoner struck it several times with
the handle of his thick whip; and not content with that
he caught hid of the calf's tail and twisted it round in
a cruel manner. Witness then went up to him, and
having told him that he was a °Limitable belonging to
the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani
male, be took him into custody.

In answer to the charge the prisoner said that the calf

was very tiresome, running on the pavement to the
aTinoyance of the passengers ; that he was compelled to
beat it to keep it away. As fur twisting the tail, that
was the only way he could remove it.
Mr. Seeker said that, according to the evidence of the
officer of the Royal Society, he had acted in a very cruel
manner towards the calf, and he should fine him ss. for
the cruelty, or seven days' imprisonment.

AN INCORRIGIBLE YOUNG THIEF. —E Hasmason,
a slight Norwegian sailor boy, with flaxen hair, about
14 years of age, was charged with the commission
of several robberies. The prisoner absconded from a
Norwegian ship, which left England a few weeks since.
and after he had deserted a watch and a suit of clothes,
belonging to the mate of the vessel, were missing. The
prisoner went to the house of Mr. Peter Larsen, a
foreigner, of No. 12, St. George-street, alias Ratcliffe-
highway, in the early part of July ; and on the 12th of
the same month he absconded, taking with him a jacket
and a waistcoat, belonging to Harold Larsen, a Nor xe-
gian mariner. The things wer3 safe when he went to
bed at night, and next morning they were missing, and
the boy too.
Captain Wilhelm Liemen, master of the brig Henry,
a Norwegian ship, lying in the London Docks, said that,
on the sth of July, the prisoner applied to him for
work, and said he was in distre,,s. He engaged th e
prisoner at 9 dollars a month to proceed from London to
Norway. He also advanced money to the prisoner to

purchase clothe:t. Between the Wednesday and Satur-
day after he had engaged the prisoner he missed two
silver watches and various other things, and the prisoner
deserted the vessel. A police constable, who captured
the prisoner, said that he admitted committing the rob-
beries with which he stood charged, and had sold the
property and spent it. The prisoner, who was crying
daring the investigation, said he was very sorry for what
he had done, and was in distress when he committed
the robberies. Mr. Selfe observed that he could not
have been in distress when he committed the robbery
on board the ship Henry; for he was well provided for,
and, besides his food, was to receive 9 dollars, or 3t3s. per
month. The prisoner appeared to him to be a most
incorrigible young thief, and he sentenced him to four
months' imprisonment and hard labour.

DARING BURGLARY AND ROBBERY.—George Eustarcl,
a youth of about 18 years of aga, who has been in cus-
tody twice before for petty thefts, was brought before
Mr. Selfe, charged with breaking into the dwelling house
of John Tedbury, of No. 8, King-street, St. George-in-
the-East.

It appeared from the evidence that on Monday last,
the 11th instant, the prosecutor was on his way home,
and saw the prisoner getting out of his parlour window
into the street with a blue Guernsey frock on his arm.

Tedbury immediately pursued the prisoner, who ran
fast, and, though encumbered with the Guernsey frock,
. . .

managed to effiJct his escape. The prosecutor returned
to his home, and discovered that a silvor watch, value
27., a pair of hoot, and the Guernsey frock, ha:: been
stolen. He gave information to the police, and the pri-
soner was captured yesterday by Warner, a police-con-

stable, No. 207 H, to whom he stated that he had sold
the stolen property. He now pleaded guilty, and Mr.

Selfe convicted him and sentenced him to six months'
imprisonment and hard labour.
