Ana Scaly was brotight up on a charge of stealing
three yards of cloth, some patterns; and,other ar-
ticks,. the property of. John Brock, tailor, in,
Cushion-court, Broad.street. The circumstances
deserve attentioo, as a caution to the Public against
a numerous class of thieves who take advantage of
children employed in the .conveyance of light par-
cell. A little boy, in the service of Mr. Brock,.
Was ordered to procure the cloth stated, from Mr.-
Vinegar, of Ludgate-hill, and to return home with
it to Broad.street„ Yn Cornhill the Prisoner 'met
him, tapped him on the.shoulder, and. asked whose

immediately and fetch the same quantity from the
plaCe you proented this." The child, who was
only nine or ten years of age, had no suspicion of

Constable, after a very: hhort conversation, which
convinced him of her dishonest intentionse,--She
was fully committed to take her trial.

exp►ised the house and family to great danger, and
suffered herself a most serious injury:. When she
rose, she struck a light in the tinder.boX, and not
being able at the moment to find a match, she,
thoughtless 6f the efred, emptied a horn filled with
gumpawder into the ignited tinder; an install.
taneous 'conflagration .was the consequence ; the
house was shaken, as by, an earthquake; .and the
violent collision of the air, 'shattered the windows
of the apartment to pieces. The hand of the un.
fortunate girl was most dreadfully torn, an►l it is
feared she must suffer amputation above thi wrist.
