February the priLner was at home before tight o'clock in
the evening ; he went out the next slay, and after he w
gene the officers came, when the wittiest showed +hem to
the prisoner's rosin. Witness could not tell whether t-e
prisoner was .t home that evening or not. He toll witness
that he was a gentlitnin's servant out of employ, but got
occasional jobs at ss. a-day.
Benjamin Schofield, an officer of Marlborough-street,
took the prisoner into custody on Wednesday, the 22,1 of
Feb., at nine o'clock in the evening, in the Green Man
public-house, Bond-street, a few doors from Mr. Owen's.
Witness was sitting in a room, and overheard a conversa-
tion between the prisoner rind another MAO, and irom
what he heard, be suspected the prisoner to be the thief,
and he came out and charyd him with the robbery. The
prisoner was talking about having some ducks for sup-
per, and having heard before that he was spending a good
deal of money, the witness suspicions were raised. The
prisoner and the other man were quarrelling in the pas-
sage. Witness took them both into custody and carried
th,nr to Marlborough-street. On searching the prisoner
he found a silk handkerchief marked with Mr. Owen's
name, and a key, a trunk in his lodging, which he said

waistcoats of the prisoner. He now produced them:

NEW COURT.
(Before the Cosiatou SICKGEANT
Considerable time was occupied in swearing in the
Grand and Petit Juries, and the regu'ar busines. of the
Court did not einnmence till near eleven o'clock. Forty
pi loners, chiefly' boys, sere arraigntsl upon their several
indictments—the crimes with which they are chareeil are
robberies of so trivial a nature, that it wks reuisrked tl at
tt wa. a great pity that the country should, by their pro-
secwions, be burdened with tilt• eximus,s.
A chimney-sweep, named llijor, pleaded guil y of
-tcaling 2.., the property of his master. He was sentenced
.0 three to.inths' imprisonment and hard labour in she
House of Correction.

Daniel Coleman, alai 15 years of age, was convicted
of stealing a silk Landkerchtef from the person of f),,i,nis
Edward Junes, Eq., in Parliament-street.—The Court
aoiteneed him to he sent on board tho Boys Skip."
The Commort SERCKANT explained io tor, Jtity, that
on 1)o-oil this ship boys are tang! ta ti :de ; aril if they
behave themselves after they are made ptofictcto, they -re
provided with situations and are again restored ti society.
To show the paltry nature of som.: of the prosecutions, a
girl stands indicted for stealing a quantity of kitchen sniff.
William Blanched was put to the bar charged wiih
stealing a quantity of silver, the property of James
Rayne, a silversmith, in Cierktow..ll. It apiie.tred that
the prisoner had been in the employ of the pr• sectitor tor
about twelve months, and en the 20th of Fehr odry Isst
Ime ounce and four pennyweights of silver-rutting• was
found behind the pr,sa at which he worked. When
charged with the robbery, he was told by the prosecutor

no receivers, there would be fewer thieves. Upon this
the prisoner confessed that he had before stolen upwards
of thirty-nine ounces, and by his direction an officer found
seven ounces of silver in his lodgings, with five sovereigni.
The stealing of the one since odd was clearly proved. Tue
Judge decided that so evi,!ence could be taken of any
thing that took pltce after the threat and promise made by
the prosecutor. For the prisoner, a baker, with whom he
had dealt upwards of 12 years, appeared, and gave him a
good character up to this transaction.
William Rowe was indicted for stealing from the house
of Sir Robert Stnirke, a silver cup, two silver dees it spoons,
12 silver tea spoons, a silver wine fuonet, 12 plate., knives
and forks, 24 table knives and torks, a tea tr,:y, and a pail
of shots.
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, with a recom-
mendation to mercy, on account of good character.

ing, after many painful and reluctant throes, produced the
needful for discharging the expenses of Lord Ashley's Dorset-
setshire election, advertisements have been inserted in the

There is already great competition for stalls among the mar.
