dwelling-house of Robert Plummer, and stealing 150 yards
of silk, of the value of 211., the property of a silk-mercer of
the name of Gibson.

The evidence was a repetition of what has already ap-
peared in our police reports, under the head of Worship-
street.

The Jury found Thomas Skuse Guilty, and Acquitted
the other two prisoners.
Sarah Jones pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing a pair
of boots, the property of Thomas Wilson. The prisoner
also pleaded guilty to the charge of havinc, been tried on the
4th of September, and found guilty of felony.
Thomas Dale also pleaded guilty to au indictment charg
ing him with stealing a pewter pot.
Agnes Sykes, aged 28, pleaded guilty to two charges of
child-stealing, and with having robbed them of various ar-
ticles of wearing apparel.

her plea ; but she persisted, and it was recorded.

and John Steward, were indicted for conspiring to obtain
relief by a false pass, from the parish authorities of St.
George, Hanover-square, on the 27th of March last. Ver-
dict—Not Guilty.
The RECORDER begged it might be generally known that
although the prisoners in thi case bad escaped from a defect
in the mode of framing the indictment, yet if any other per-
sons were found guilty of practising frauds upon the parish
authorities, they would be visited with the utmost penalty
of the law.
