MARLBOROUGH •STREET.
ATTEMPTING TO STEAL A GENTLEMAN'S WATCH
WHILE WAITING FOR THE ST. GEORGE'S RIFLE CORPS.
—Edward Collins, a young man, was charged before Mr.

steal a wateh under the following circumst*nces.
From the evidence of Sergeant Cole it appeared that,
about half-past four the previous afternoon, there was a
large number of persons—neatly 200—assembled in front
of Burlington House, in consequence of the Bt. George's
Rifle Corps, who had been at dr,ll iu the court-yard. being
about to march to Palace-yard with their baud. Knowing
the prisoner to be a thief he told him to leave or he would
get in trouble, and he moved away for a minute, but shortly
after he saw him place himself alongside a gentle-
man, doubling his arms in a peculiar manner, so
that one of his hands touched the gentleman's waistcoat
pocket. He (the sergeant) then placed himself inside a
public-house, near Burlington Arcade, so as to keep a look
out for the prisoner, and on speaking to the gentleman,
the prisoner having moved off, ho found his watch hanging
down out of his pocket. The gentleman refused to attend
to prosecute, but gal, e his address in Sussex Gardens. On
this he went after the prisoner and took him into custody,
the prisoner saying if he let him go he would keep out of
his district. There was a large number of thieves present
in the crowd.

Prisoner said he knew nothing about the watch. He was
only there to see the rifle corps the same as others.
Mr. Bingham committed the prisoner for three months
with hard labour.
