NEW COURT.

Richard Allen was indicted for stealing, on the 29th
of September, a copper kettle, nut•cracks, chisels, a brass
chain, and several other articles, from his master, Mr.
Joseph Reynolds, an ironmonger, residing in Frith-street,
Sobo.

Mr. Reynolds stated that the prisoner had been his
porter between one and two years, at a salary of 1/. a
week. On the 29th of September witness discovered
four pair of nut-cracks concealed in a hole in the shop,
after the prisoner had closed it up, and being determined
to find out for what purpose they had been placed there,
he sent the prisoner out with a lamp, and immediately
went round to the aperture where the nut-cracks were
concealed, and found them gone. Ile immediately sent after
the prisoner, and taxed him with the robbery, which he
stoutly denied. Witness then sent for a policeman and
searched the prisoner, and found the nut-cracks upon him,
together with ten sovereigns and ten shillings. The
lodgings of the prisoner, who is a married man, were
searched, and there the other articles mentioned in the
indictment were found.

A policeman stated that he took the prisoner into cus-
tody, and found the property mentioned upon him.
Three witnesses gave the prisoner an excellent ch iracter.

Mr. PHILLIPS, who appeared for the prisoner, asked
Mr. Reynolds if he would give the prisoner a character?
Mr. Reynolds said he could not, for he had no doubt
that the money that was found upon him was the produce
of some of the goods purloined from his shop. It was
impossible that a person only getting 1/. a week could
have so large a sum honestly.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty.
-Edward Deuling, a respectable young man in ap-
pearance, was indicted for stealing on the 3d of Septem-
ber 24 silver forks, 24 silver spoons, and several other ar-
ticles of plate, the property of John Hamilton, Esq., a so-
licitor, residing in Berners-street.
A clerk of Mr. Hamilton's stated, that Dowling, who
was a footman in the employ of Mr. Hamilton, was left
in care of the house during the absence of the family
from town. On being informed by some of the other ser-
vants that the prisoner had absented himself for several
nights from the house, and that he had been getting
drunk, witness sent for him, told him of the impropriety
of his conduct, said that he should be obliged to inform
Mr. Hamilton of it, and the result probably would be that
he would lose his place. The prisoner appeared very low-
spirited. In about half an hour after this occurrence had
taken place, witness heard the street door open, and saw
the prisoner go by with a bundle in his hand, but think-
ing lie was going of an errand, he took no notice of it.
In a few days afterwards witness saw the prisoner at the
station-house ; he then acknowledged the robbery.
A policeman, No. 38, stated that be was on duty in
Berners-street, on the 6th of September, when the pri-
soner came up to him and stated that he had been looking
for him all the day. Witness asked for what? The pri-
soner said to take him into custody, as be had robbed bill
master. Winess then took the prisoner to the station-
house, when he stated that in Rosemary-lane lie met a
female who asked if he had not got plate there, and if he
wanted to sell it. Prisoner said that he had, and wished
to dispose of it. The female then brought a man to the
prisoner, who said he would purchase the plate, and they
all went to a public house together to conclude the bargain.
Prisoner became intoxicated, lost all sense, and the next
