THAMES.

A VERY MEAN OFFENCE.—Henry Rickett, a tall, able-
bodied man, about 30 years of age, was brought before Mr.
Yardley, charged with stealing a pint pewter pot from
the George the Fourth public-house in Poplar.
Police-constable Ponsford, No. 260 K, stated that at a
late hour last night he was in Jane-place, Poplar, and saw
the prisoner standing close by a wall and stamp upon some
thing on the ground. The prisoner then picked up what
he had stamped upon and put it under his coat. He went
up to the prisoner and took from him a battered pint pot.
He asked him where he obtained the pot, to which he
replied that ho picked it up in a drain in High-street,
Poplar.
The prisoner, in defence, said that he "met:" with the
pot in High-street, Poplar, and kicked it along for some
time, and that was the cause of its being so battered.

Mr. Yardley—The police-constable says you stamped
upon the pot, and from its appearance I have no doubt that
was the case .

The prisoner—l did not do any such thing.
Mr. Yardley—Call Mr. Evans.

Mr. William Evans, landlord of the George the Fourth
public-house, in Bow-lane, Poplar, stated that the prisonor
came to his house last night-and asked for a pint of porter,
and he was served with it by the servant in the best parlour
pint-pot—the ohe produced. The barmaid served the pri-
soner and missed the pot a few minutes after he left the
house.

Mr. Yardley said these sort of robberies were
generally committed by old and decrepid amen and
women, who by idleness and drunkenness had got
their minds into such a state that they would
pilfer little things, and particularly publican's measures,
for which they obtained a few halfpence from a marine
store-dealer, but ho was very much surprised at a stout
able-bodied man in good health and apparently in good
circumstances, committing so mean an offence. He thought
when he first saw the prisoner it was a mistake.
The prisoner—lt is a mistake.

Mr. Yardley—A mistake, sir, it is a fact, you stole the
pot. What are you ?

The prisoner--I work at the West India Dock.
Mr. Evans—He has been a frequent customer, the last
man I should suspect.

Mr. Yardley—l suppose so. Do you deny the theft?
The prisoner—l do. I picked up the pot.
Mr. Yardley—As you, so very stoutly deny the robbery
I shall commit you for trial. Take the depositions.
The prisoner was finally remanded until Tuesday for
inquiries to be made about him.
