Alfred Booty, a lad in the employ of Mr. Hatchet

said the prisoners came to his master's shop yesterday
afternoon and asked for ribbons. There was then a box of
ribbons on the counter, and the prisoners said they wanted
violet sarsnet ribbons. He turned round to get another
box of ribbons from a shelf, and while doing so the pri-
soners had an opportunity of stealing ribbons. When the
last witness entered the shop and said the prisoners had
been stealing ribbons, ho missed two pieces worth 6s. 6d.
The witness then identified two of the six pieces of ribbon.
Moses Michalls, No. 97 K, said the prisoners were un-
known. They had no money upon them. Two of the
pieces of ribbon had not been identified. The prisoners
pleaded guilty, and Mr. Yardley said it was a case of deli-
berate shop lifting, and sentenced them to three months
imprisonment and hard labour.

languidly in his open carriage, being driven round slowly,
and in this feeble, dried-up aristocrat, recognise a hope of
Italy and possible pillar of the State. This solitary pro •
gress and exclusive monopoly is essential to his state. It
is imperative and according to the canons of fashion that he
should go forth, the lonely occupant of his vehicle. See his
noble peers following slowly, each taking his exercise on
the solitary and silent, but at the same time eminently
patrician, system. Presently, the carriage halting and the
noble Roman descending, room is given for admiring the
proportions and general aspect of the distinguished youth.
Presently another noble Roman, of sporting tastes, who has
been driving a sort of mail phaeton round and round in the
contracted ring with an unaccountable fury, brings his
chafed steeds to a stand, and joins his brother nobl, the
Prince Cornuto, to the right—the fiery charioteer being,
indeed, no other than the Marquis Babuino. So arm in arm
they loiter round, some three or four times, and, presently
growing fatigued, ascend each to his solitary cell, and are
driven round slowly once more. Another 1 rother noble '
Roman presents himself, borne aloft on a light car, fearfully
embarrassed by the two horses which he has presump-
tuously had harnessed to it tandem-wise. I wonder to
myself how it comes to pass that these noble youths
have all so sallow and smoke-dried an aspect. Such
yellow parchment faces, shaven close, even to discom-
fort, have been seen gathering under the Haymarket
Colenade in London as the hour for the opera drew on;
and in the noble Roman, and all of his degree, you are sure
to detect the foot-light air and stagy look which clings to
the person of even the first tenor. The noble Ronson seems
to me to be fragrant of the theatre, reeking of the coulisses,
and to have newly come from washing away the rougefrom
off his cheeks.—Dickens's 211 the Fear .Round.
