WORSHIP-STREET.

A respectably-dressed young man, name Grev;lle, was
yesterday placed at the bar for final examination before Mr.
GROVE, charged with having robbed his master, Mr. Frede-
rick Ewer, a silk-manufacturer, of Milk-street, Cheapside,
of property to a considerable amount.
The circumstances which led to the prisoner's detection
were these.—The prisoner had for some time been in the
habit of pledging silk goods at the shop of Mr. Pigge,
pawnbroker, Church-street, Bethnal-green, and on Thurs-
day last he went and offered sixteen remnants for pledge,
but Mr. Pigge, having some suspicion, gave him into the
custody of a police constable, and detained the property.
The prosecutor stated that the prisoner had been in his
employ about two years and a half, and he had a good cha-
racter with him. , Since the prisoner had been in his ser-
vice he had been robbed of considerable property, but, be-
lieving the prisoner to be strictly honest, no suspicion fell
upon him until he was given into custody by the pawnbroker.
Several other pawnbrokers in the neighbourhood of Beth-
nal-green and Shoreditch produced silk goods to a great
amount that had been pledged by the prisoner at their shops.
The prosecutor identified the goods produced to be his
property, and the prisoner, who made no defenoe, was fully
committed to Newgate for trial.

THE ITALIAN f3oys.—Yest-erday_. Giovanni Taberitta,

lachimo Conte, and Antonio Bernardi, three wretched Ita-
lian boys, who are in the habit of wandering about begging,
were brought up in custody before Mr. WHITE by a police
constable of the L division, under the following circum-
stances :

It appears that a benevolent lady residing in Moor-place,
Kennington, has been in the habit of relieving two or three
of the boys, and that latterly the charity of the lady has
been directed among the rest of the itinerants to such an
extent that they have become an intolerable nuisance in
the neighbourhood, and it is said that the greater part of
the money they receive goes into the pockets of their vaga-
bond masters, who bring them to this country. About six
o'clock on the previous evening no less than seven of the
boys were seen begging at one house in Moor-place, and
police-constable Pearson and Gardner were directed to take
as many as they could find into custody. They, however,
received some intimation of this intention, and the greater
part of them made their escape.
Pearson stated that on the road to the station-house the
prisoners told him in very good English that if he would
let them off they would go into Holborn, and not be seen
on the Surrey side of the water again, but on their arrival
there they all declared in French that they could not speak
a word of English.
The boys would not give any information as to who their
masters were, and pretended they did not understand
English.
They were committed to the House of Correction for
one month each. _ _ _

The boys were supposed to belong to the grand depot
for Italian vagrancy"', in Leather-lane.
Yesterday James Pe7tfold was brought up for final exa-
mination before Messrs. 131 MT, ELL and GRE GORIE, charged
with breaking open the house of William Penn, the
landlord of the White Hart Inn, at Dprking, and stealing
a quantity of plate and other articles.
Mr. Penn stated that on Sunday morning iazt, about six
o'clock, he was informed by his kitchen-maid that tL's house
had been broken into and robbed. The thief had effected
an entrance by throwing up the sash of the window and re-
moving an iron bar by which it was secured ; from thence
he had proceeded to the bar, which was broken open, and
the whole of his plate, together with a quantity of tea and
tobacco, and various other articles, had been stolen. The
robbery could only haVe been committed by some person
well acquainted with the premises, and who knew where the
plate was to be found. A few years since the prisoner had
been in his employ as " Boots ;" it was part of his duty at
that time to clean the plate, and it was then kept in the
same place as it was when the robbery was committed.
James Brooks, a constable of the L division, No. 118,
stated, that on Sunday afternoon, about four o'clock, he
was on duty near the Horns, at Kennington, and saw the
prisoner pass with a bundle ; suspecting that all was not
right, he questioned him as to the contents, and his an-
swers being very evasive, he took him into custody, and
found a quantity of plate in the bundle and about his per-
son, together with several other articles. The following
day information was received of the burglary at Mr. Penn's,
at Dorking.
The whole of the property was here produced, and iden-
tified by Mr. Penn as having been stolen from him.
Mr. Yates, the inspector of the L division, stated. that
since the prisoner had bean apprehended, various other
charges of robbery had been brought against him.
The prisoner, on being called upon for his defence, re-
peated his former statement, that he had found the pro-
peity in a hovel oi; the other side of Croydon.
The prisoner was committed for trial, and the par-
ties were bound over to proseOte•
It was afterwards arranged that the prisoner should be
brought up again in a week, to give an opportunity to any
persons in the neighbourhood of Dorking to prefer their
charges against him.
