A MISCHIEVOUS YOUNG TmEr.—Francis Slatcr, aged
15, was ,brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing
a braes bearing, value 25., the property of Me3srs.
Wegtwood and Bailey, engineers and machinists, of
Poplar.

It appeared that the prisoner had been in the employ
of the prosecutors a few days only, and during that time
property had been missed daily from the factory. Yes-
terday when the prisoner left the premises he was fol•
lowed, and several pieces of brass were found upon
him ; ho was ther fere brought back. They formed part
of the brass bearings of a machine, which the boy had
spoiled by his wanton depredation. Othrr pieces of
brass were found in the street over which the prisoner
bad passed. They formed portions of the brass bearings.
Mr. Delaney, a clerk is the establishment of the pro-
secutors, said the bo3's father was employed by them,
and his earnings amounted to 6J. per day.
The father of the prisoner said he had set his son a
good example, and he wanted for nothing at home.
He could not account for the boy committing the
robbery.

Tao prisoner, a sullen fellow, made no defence, and
Mr. Selfei after observing that he was a very dange-
rous thief, who ought not to bo trusted where there Was
any valuable property deposited, sentenced him to two
months'' imprisonment and hard labour.

ROBBING A CAPTAIN OF 401.—Ellen Richnionl, an
Irish woman was brought up on remand before Mr.

The robbery was committed in the Kettle and Drum
puhlio house, Ratcliff-highway, on the night of Tuesday
the 2.al ult. Three prostitutes, of whom the prisoner
was one, were drinking with the captain and pulling
him about, and managed to take his purse containing
his gold.

The landlady of the Wellington, Cannon-street,
Ratcliff-highway, ss.w the prisoner and another woman
