MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A 8008-STALL THIEF.—John Brown, a respectable-
looking man, was charged with stealing a book from the
shop of Mr. Young, bookseller, 351, Oxford-street.
From the evidence, which was only slightly gone into
on a former occasion, it appeared that while Kelly, 319 A,
was on duty at the Princess's Theatre, he saw the prisoner
hastily run across the road, as if coming from the prosecu-
tor's shop. He, suspecting. something was wrong, pur-
sued him, and while doing so a gentleman came up and
said he had stolen a . book. Continuing the pursuit, and
coming up with him, he took the book from under his
coat.

Mr. young identified the book as his property, the value
being 6s.

Kelly said the prisoner, whose real name was Lemen„
had been previously convicted.
City-police Constable Edwards, 343, proved that at the
Old Bailey, on 15th August, 1853, the prisoner was com-
mitted for six months for -stealing a silver spoon from a
hotel in St. Paul's churchyard; and at the Old Bailey in
1856, in the name of Miller, was sentenced, for 12 months for
stealing a book from Mesas. Seeley, of Fleet-street.
Committed for trial.

WILFUL SMASHING A PANE OF GLASS.—Joseph Gil-
lespie was charged with wilfully smashing a pane of glass
at the house of Mr. Appleton, licensed victualler, of Hicks'
Coffee-houte, King-street, Soho.
The prisoner entered the house in a state of intoxication,
and on his being refused to be served, he dashed his hand
through the pane of glass in question.

The prisoner was ordered to pay the damage, 305., or a
month.

The prosecutor said he was insured in the Plate Glass
Insurance Company, and he came forward to protect them.
