Henry Rial Page, James Black, and Henry
Harris, were all three charged with stealing a piece
of oilcloth from the shop of Mr. Job, 5, Charlton-
street, Somers-town. In the pocket of Page, the
policeman found the following note ;
" Newgate.

" Dear Page,—lf there is any of the hung-beef re-
maining that was left at Mrs. Mangirs, it would be very
acceptable, at least let us have our share. lam now
living on the prison allowance, and have not a penny in
the box. You are very unkind—you could come to see
us every day if you liked. lam at present unwell, and
under the doctor's hands.—Give my love to Eliza, and
believe me your's, truly, J. E."
The prisoners were remanded till Monday next.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.— William Ashwick ,an
elderly man, of decent appearance, was yesterday
brought before Mr. CONANT, charged with having
robbed his employers, Messrs. Hancock and Rixon,
glass-manufacturers, No, 1, Cockspur-street, of a
quantity of valuable cut glass articles. The prisoner,
having declined to offer any defence, was fully com-
mitted.

CAR-DRIVERS.—A cab-driver having been fined
for being drunk, and conducting himself riotously
on Sunday evening, the landlady of the Lemon
Tree, Haymarket, came forward to ask Mr. CONANT
what course she had better adopt under the follow-
ing circumstances :—Her tag-room had been taken
possession of by a gang of cab-drivers, who con-
ducted themselves in a most scandalous and out-
rageous manner ; in fact, assuming the complete
mastership of the place. Disturbances were fre-
quently occurring, and she could get no policeman
to interfere, as they had special orders to the contrary.
Mr. CONANT advised her to turn the rioters out
herself.—The applicant was convinced if she made
the attempt, her life would be endangered from their
violence.
As this was the only course suggested by the
Magistrate the applicant withdrew.
W OR SHIP- S TREE T.
Kum DISTILLATION.—Yestetday George Leach
and James Thompson, the former a young man, and
the other between 40 and .50 years of age, were
brought before the sitting Magistrate, Mr. BROUGH-
TON, by Gater and another Excise officer, charged
with working a private still.
The officers about noon z— Sunday went to No.
47, Seward-street, Brick-lane, Having information

that the occupants were "jigger men" (i. e. private
distillers), and carrying on an extensive traffic. In a
sort of lobby, which they entered by forcing the
outer door of the premises, there was a ladder lead-
ing to a room over the gateway, which they found
well fitted up as a still room, with tubs and other
utensils, containing molasses, wash, manufactured
spirits &c., and a still of larger dimensions then at
work. As they ascended they could hear the par-
ties whom they had disturbed rushing out of the
place, and were just in time to see the younger pri-
soner disappear from another ladder, through a hole
in the ceiling. The prisoner Thompson, who is a
stout heavy man, was seen under the roof of the ad-
joining house, stamping with his feet and endea-
vouring to force his way through the ceiling. alter
immediately went into the next house, and looking
into the upper room, where a young man was in bed,
saw the ceiling shaking, and pieces of lath and plas-
ter falling, and presently afterwards the prisoner,
Thompson, broke through, and fell into the arms of
the officer, who led him down stairs captive. The
other prisoner was caught shortly afterwards coming
out of the same room, seemingly unaware that his
companion had been captured. The officers said
that they both smelt so strongly of the still, that they
scented the whole of the next house.

Mr. BROUGHTON convicted them in the penalty
of 30/. each, and, in default of payment, sentenced
them to hard labour in the House of Correction fur
three months.
