Fitz, a welt-known thief, was brought before Mr. Bea-
don, charged with being found in the house, No. 11,

It appeared from the evidence that the house in ques-

night, about hall-past seven, the complainant, George
Brown, who has charge of the house, saw the prisoner
go deliberately up to the front door, which witness had
but a few minutes before secured by a Bramah lock,
unlock it, and walk in. Witness, on recovering from his
surprise at such a circumstance, ran over, and having
called the prisoner, asked him who he was and what he
wanted there. The prisoner raphel, " I want Mr.
Walker." " Hookey," rejoined the prosecutor, " you
must go with me to the station." The prisoner strongly
objected to this, shook himself from his grasp, aLd ran
away. Prosecutor followed, tilling out "Stop thief,"
as far as St. Martin's-lane, where he was stopped by a
constable, and taken into custody.

found on him a paper of matches, a piece of wax taper,
and a knife.

thief. In the month of September, 1855, he was pre•
sent when the prisoner was convicted and sentenced to

DOG STEALING.—John Baker, a flash looking fellow,
was charged with stealing a valuable house-dog, the pro-
perty of William Henry Gore Langton, RI., M.P. for
Bristol.
William Quick, of Ennismore Mews, Prince's Gate,
helper in the stables of Lady Hawken, said that at 10
minutes past eight this morning he was standing near
Prince's Gate, when he observed the dog. Prisoner then
came up and by some means enticed the dog to follow
him to a rather secluded spot where he pat a chain and
collar on the animal and led him away. As witness
knew the dog to be Mr. Langton's, he followed the
prisoner into Sloane-street, and meeting with a police
constable gave him into custody. Prisoner abused wit-
ness and asked hits what he'd got to do with the dog.
Henry Robertson, butler to Mr. Langton, identified
the animal.

Mr. Payntett—What is its value.
Witness—lntrinsic3lly it may not be worth more than
a pound, but Mr. Langton would not take any money
for it. It is a very old and faithful creature, and has
been in the family many years.
A police-constable said that when the prisoner found
himself about to be taken into custody, be whipped off
the collar from the dog's neck, and put it in his coat
pocket, after which be kicked the poor animal and
made it run away. Witness examined prisoner's coat
for the cellar and chain for some time in vain, and at
length discovered that one of his pockets had no bottom
to it.

Mr. Paynter—ls the prisoner known ?
Inspector Craplin, of the B division—We believe be is,
and wish a remand for a few days.
Remanded according'y.
