.NEIV COURT.

George Walker, aged fourteen, was indicted for stealing
a handkerchief from the person of Mr. William Cheek Bous-
field, silk-mercer of Cheapside.
It appeared that Mr. Bousfield was passing through the
street near his own warehouse, on the 15th of January, when
he felt some person at his pocket. On turning round, he'dis-
covered the prisoner with his handkerchief in his hand, endea-
vouring to conceal it ; he instantly seized and conveyed him,
without assistance, before Mr. Alderman Kelly, who committed
him for trial.

The prisoner, who said nothing in his defence, was found
Guilty.

George Webb, aged 29, was indicted for stealing, on the
9th of January, at Edmonton, :36 trusses, of value 341., the
property of Edward Boards.

It appeared that the prosecutor is a farmer residing at Ed-
monton. The hay was safe in a cart on the night of the rob-
bery, and certain tracks of the cart wheels led to a discovery
of the direction in which it was taken, and the marks of the
horse-shoes corresponded to the shoes worn by a horse which
was seen with the prisoner on the following day. One of
the shoes had a peculiar defect, which was pointed out to the
jury. Another witness proved that at the request of the pri-
soner he lent him his horse for a few days, and during the in-
terval the robbery was committed. An ostler at a public-
house at Ponder's End, proved the horse and cart to have been
there on the night of the robbery. The prisoner was with it.
The defence was, that the prisoner borrowed the horse and
cart, for the purpose of conveying a load of coals to town, and
knew nothing of the hay. Witnesses were also called to prove
that he was not at the places mentioned in the evidence
against him.

-The Jury pronounced the prisoner Guilty, and the Court
said it was a bad case ; therefore the prisoner could expect ro
mercy.

Frederick Knowiden, aged 19, was indkqed for embezzling,
on the 27th of December last, the sur, of Is. 4d., the monies
of his master and employer, Mile,. Power.
The prosecutor, who is a P:ablican at North Brixton, stated
that the prisoner was 0r.,,t-b'oy, and was employed to go out
twice a day with beP.r. If he received Is. 4d. from Mary Ann
Smith, or any other person, it was his duty to have paid it
over to pro;ecutor instantly. The prisoner was a weekly ser-
vant at Bs. per week. He absconded from his service.
Mary Ann Smith proved the payment of Is. 4d. to the pri-
soner on account of his master.

The prisoner put in a written defence, in which he pleaded
for mercy on account of being an orphan ; and this being his
first offence,

The Jury found him Guilty, but recommended him to mercy.
William Jones, aged 20, was indicted for stealing on the
21st of January, in the parish of St. Gregory by St. Paul,
three pairs of trowsers, value 51., the property of Alexander
Goodbody. The prisoner was also charged with having been
formerly convicted of felony.
The prosecutor stated that ho was a tailor, living at No. 27,
Ludgate-street. On the night of the day in question, about
ten o'clock, he observed the prisoner at the bar enter his shop,
and take the trowsers from off a rod upon which they were
hanging inside, and run off with them. Witness pursued him
until he was stopped by an officer. In his flight he dropped
the trowsers.

John Murphy, a police constable, G 215, was in private
clothes on the night in question watching other parties, and
hearing a cry of "stop thief," he directed his attention to the
prisoner, who was running very fast. He seized and secured
him.

The record of the former conviction was put in, and proved
that the prisoner was convicted in October last only.
The Jury pronounced him Guilty, and the COURT said there
was but one rule in reference to persons who came a second
time. They would not be allowed another chance.
