stable, went to the house of the defendant, and
being both in plain cloti es at the time they were at
once admitted. At that time there were 1.0 men
there drinking and smoking, and as many as six
mugs of beer
_before them. Witness and his com-
panion were also served with the beer they called
for, and they stopped there as long as an hour,
during which time there were as many as 28 per-
sons came in and went out, all of whom had been
served with beer and gin. He counted as many as
nine pots of beer brought from a cask in a back
room, and about five pints of gin, and for the
former sd. per pot wasi charged, and for the latter,
5d • a guar tern.
Mr. Elliott—What time was this ?
Witness—Between eleven and twelve o'clock in
the forenoon, your worship ; during church hours.
Mr. Elliott (to the defendant)—Well, what have
you g 1 to say to this charge—this wholesale charge
of selling exciseable liquoas without a licence ?
Defendant—l cannot say that 4 am not guilty,
your worship, but these officers were in disguise,
and got in by using a false name.
An inspector of police here informed the magis-
trate that from information which had reached the
force, there was every reason to believe that the
prisoner had for some time past carried on an ex-
tensive sale of beer and spirits, and that the per-
sons assembled there. wore persons of not reputable
character. Indeed the person whose name was
said to be used by the constables as a means of
getting into the house was a returned transport.
The person alluded to by the inspector here came
forward, and begged to be heard by the magic rate.
He said it was true that he hail "got into trouble,"
and was out on leave ; but since his retnrn he bad
used every means in his power to get an honest
living. His friends bad enabled him to get into a
beer-house, bat the police did everything to annoy
him. The last act of their annoyance was to use
his name to get into the house of the defendant ;
and singe that time he was continually taunted
by the defendant's friends and neighbours with
sending the police to his house for the purpose of
injuring him, when, in point of fact, he had nothing
whatever to do with it.
The defendant said he was out of employment
and in bad health, and the persons who came to his
house were friends, who did so with a view of
benefiting him.

Mr. Ellett remarked that it was quite evident
h© had carried on his illicit trade to a considerable
extent.; and for that offence he might have con-
victed him in a penalty of 20/. ; however, as it was
his first known offence, be should mitigate that
sum to 51., add that sum he must pay, or in default
be committed to prison for one month.

WANDSWORTEE—THE CURIOUS CHARGE OF
ROBBERY BY LODGERS.—Jams Page, and his wife,
4Anne Page, were brought before Mr. Ingham, on
remand, charged with being concerned in stealing
money from a box kept in the bedroom of their
landlord, Henry Mason, a gardener, of No. 1,
Point Pleasant, Wandsworth.
In this case the prosecutor had missed 21. from
the money-box on the 18th of Feb. last, which in-
duced hint to• mark some more and place it in the
box on Sunday, the 28th tilt. When his wife went
to chapel in the evening she looked him in a cup-
board near the bedroom door. He saw the female
prisoner enter his room, take away the money-box
and then return it. Ste afterwards came up again
and dropped something into the box, which was
no doubt the money she had taken out, upon dis-
covering it marked... Tho male prisoner was down
stain., but, it was-not clearly shown that he was a
pirticipator. When the box. was opened, three
halfpence were missetl, :which tamed out to be un-
marked money. , •
The prisoners denied the z.obbny, and
Mr. Ingham discharged the husband, and sen-
tenced the wife to one month's imprisonment with
hard labour.

THAMES.—INGRATITUDE AND ROBBERY. m.
Sorry, a boy, aged 12 years, was brought before
Mr. S4fe, on remand, charged with stealing a sil-
ver watch, value 5/.4 the pr,perty of John Morgan
Slowsen, a biker, in Whitechapel.
It appeared that :he prosecutor, a humane man,
was passing along a street 'Far his own home; a
f:w days ago, whn the prisoner accostei him, and
solicited alms. The baker relieved him, and hear-
ing he was in want of a home, took Lim to his own
house, and shielded him from the inclemency of
the weather by-allowing him to sleep on the shav-
ings in Lis bakehouse. On the lola wing morning
the baker provided the boy with a broom, and re
commended him to select a street crossing, and.
pick up what halfpence he could. The baker also
promised the boy, if he behaved well and was in-
dustrious, he would do something more for him.
The prisoner was provided with a shel•er and bread
nightly fur a week. One night the baker left the
prisoner in the bakehouse for a short time, while
he went out upon an errand, and upon his return
the boy was gone, and a watch he had left sus-
pended to a nail was missing. The police were
informed of the robbery, and a City of London
policeman traced the prisoner, and found the watch
in possession of a potman, to whom it had been
sold for 6s.

The watch was produced and identified.
Mr Selfe condemned the conduct of the party
who had purchased it of a boy so much below its

value.

The mother of the prisoner said, her son was a
very bad boy, and -she bad put him into a reforma-
tory at Whftectrapel, and paid 2s: Gd. per week for
him ; hut he :had twice escaped from it, and given
her much trouble.

Mr. Self said the prisoner was not only a bad boy,
but a very ungrateful one ; and he should stip his
career of wicketruesi fo-r a long time, and send hitu
first to a prisin;.aul afterwards to a reformatory
school, from which he could not escape. A more
ungrateful lad than -the prisoner he had never met
with. He convicted him of larceny, and sentenced
him to three months' imprisonment and hard
labour, and at the expiration of his imprisouttent
to b 3 act.tinei in a r:foL.L.t)ry s hGol to be htrt-
afL,r named for four years,
