William Forte Woodeson, a highly respectable young
man in appearance, was indicted for stealing trout his
master, a Mr. Notbury, residing in Whiteehapel, on the
18th of August, a large quantity of copper and brass bolts,
and Mary and William Clarke, mother and son, were
indicted with receiving the same knowing it to be stolen.
A surveyor of the Thames police, named Cievor, stated
that on the evening of the day mentioned in the indictment,
he called at the house of the prisoner Clarke in Cape stre t,
when he saw in her possession about 15 or 16 lbs. of cop -
per. This,excited his suspicion and caused him to inquire
how she because possessed of it, when she said her son
had bought it of a respectable young man the previous day.
James Fogg, an officer of the Thames police, stated that
the prisoner William Clarke stated to him that he bought
the copper from a person named Watson, who gave him
a bill of parcels with it, which on being produced
showed evident signs of erasure having been made in it ;
the name of Glascote was altered to Clarke The bill
stated the goods to have been purchased front Mr. Nor-
bury, and was in the handwriting of the prisoner Woode-
son. On Clirke's being taken to the house of Mr. Nor-
bury, Woodeson was behind the counter, and he itigantly
recogliz d him as the person from whom he purchased the
metal. Woodeson instantly admitted that be had stole❑
the property from his master, promised not to di. the I.ke
again, and begged for his forgiveness. This the prose-
cutor refused to do, in consequence of the repeated thefts
which had been committed.

Mr. Norbury identified the metal and bolts as his pro-
perty. _ _

A letter was produced, written by the prisoner to his
master, admitting she robbery.
Several respectable persons gave Woodeson an excellent
character.

the two Clarkes, against whom nothing had been proved.

to her shop, and wanted to sell it. Witness, how-
ever, would not purchase it, and the prisoner then asked

Office, she recognised him as the person who had brought
the globe to her shop, by his dress.
