A FIT CANDIDATE FOR A REFORMATORY SHIP.—
Frederick Rowley, 13, was brought before Mr. Yardley
charged with picking pockets. The prisoner set up a dismal
howling on being put into the dock, and continued whining
end pretending to cry during during the investigation of his
cast, but not a tear was shod. He was seen by a police.
stable attempting to pick the pockets of several gentlemen.
At last ho was caught inflagrante delicto taking a silk hand-
kerchief from a gentleman's pocket. Ho was proved to have
been several times in custody, and twice summarily con-
victed. Ho was once in custody with three others for steal-
ing a large quantity of boots from a house in Cable-street,
Wellcloso- square, and was admitted as evidence for the
Crown. The jury did nit believe the prisoner, and his con-
federates were acquitted. The prisoner was subsequently
tried at the Sessions for robbing a sailor, and
owing to the absence of the prosecutor was acquitted.
Kelly, a police-constable, 100 H, said the prisoner had
been a thief, and the associate of thieves, for the last four
years.

The father of the prisoner, a cigar maker, said his son
was incorrigible. _ _ .

Mr. Yardley said he would prevQnt the boy preying upon
the public any longer, and would send him to a reformatory
ship.
Tho prisoner here roared loudly, and said, "Pray don't,
pray don't, sir ! I'll be a good boy. I won't prig any
more."

Mr. Yardley—You have said that before. Your father
cannot reclaim you. You are a very dangerous person, and
the State must take charge of you. I sentence you to be
imprisoned and kept to hard labour for one month, and
afterwards to bz: detained in a reformatory Ship for four
years, and your father to pay 2s. per week towards your
maintenance for the first two years.
