MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ROIIIIERY AT THE LONDON PAVILION. Thomas Mills, a
lad, was charged with stealing a spoon and fork, the pro -
perty of Messrs. L0i!..1 and Souhatniner, of the Loudon
Pavilion Music flail.

Mr. Philip Fry, pawnbroker and salesman, of No. 2,
Crown-street, Soho, said the prisoner came to his shop
and showed him a spoon and a fork as a sample of some
he wanted to sell. lie said he got the articles from the
London Pavilion, and that ho wanted 9s. for them ; that
he had pached up some spoons al.(1 forks ready for re-
moval, but that be could not bring then away tid twelve
at night, as at that time the people were leaving the place,
and every 0116 was busy, and that the way he got away
with the articles was by going down stairs into the bowl-
ing alley, and thou working his way into a little court that
took him into WiLdmil!-street. lie detained the prisoner,
and gave hint into custody.
Mr. Charles Smihannuer identified the articles produced
as his property, and sail that the prisoner had beets em-
ployed for a day bottling beer, and in consequence hal
access to the place where the spoons and forks were kept
for the purpose of being cleaned.
Police-constable, 19 F H, said that he went to No. 2,
Crown-street, at the request of Mr. Fry's daughter, and
on asking the prisoner for the spoons and forks ho denied
all knowledge of them.
The prisoner said it was his first offence.
Mr. Knox said the worst part of the case was that, a
large number of persons being employed at the place,
others might have been implicated by the prisoner's
conduct. The prisoner would be committed for three
months' with hard labour.

THAMES.
THE DISCARDED ORE. —EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF
AFFILIATION.—Charles Edes, a butcher, of No. 131, Shoe-
lane, Fleet-street, was summoned to show cause why ho
should not be adjudged the father of au illegitimate child,
aged four years.
The mother of the child, Sarah Saunders, said that she
lived with the defendant as his wife for seven years, and
he was the father of two children. One was dead and the
other was in court. Her " husband" came into the posses-
sion of money and property about three months ago, and
he then abandoned her and her child.
Mr. Paget—Why did he do so?
Complainant—l had outlived his liking. He is the
father of my child, and he was a good husband when
he was a poor man, but since he has become rich he has
discarded me.

Mary Ann Hill, of No. 69, Lucas-street, St. George-in-
the-East, said the parties lodged in her house, and oc-
cnpied one room, between three and four years ago, and
she knew that * they had lived together since as wan
and wife.

Mr. Paget said it appeared to be a hard case on the
young woman, and as there was no denial, and no ap-
pearance of the father of the child, he must make an order
upon him to pay 2s. 6d. per week and 4s. costs.
