Isaacson with robbing him, when ho owned to taking three
pieces of cotton, of the value of £4 10s., and giving them to
Baldry, and said they had sold them near Broad-street,
and appropriated the money. In consequence of what Mr.
Linney told him he went to Baldry, and he admitted having
the pieces o: cotton and sewing silk.
A ea: table said Isaacson told him that he had taken the
things and given them to young Baldry at 4, Regent-street,
and that he received ss. on two or three different occasions.

Mr. Anderson said he thought Baldry the worst of the
two, as he was two years older than the other. At present
he could not tell the extent of his less.

The prisoners were remanded.

THAMES.

AN EXPENSIVE PAUPER FAMlLY.—William M'lntosh,
a well dressed fellow about 40 years of age, was brought
before Mr. Selfe on a warrant charged with deserting his
wife and four children, and leaving them chargeable to the
hamlet of Mile End Old Town.

The prisoner was formerly a Custom-house waterman,
with a salary of £BO per annum, and was dismissed for
misconduct. He has been for several years cook and
steward of vessels, and in the receipt of good wages. He
abandoned his family in August, 1855, and they have since
been maintained at the expense of the ratepayers of Mile-
end Old Town. A reward was offered for the appre-
hension of the prisoner in 1855, but no tidings of
him were obtained until last night, when he was
arrested in a beershop in Ratcliff-highay, by Daniel
Smith, No. 415 K, one of the summoning
officers of this court. Ho was greatly astonished when the
officer told him the business he was on, and said he thought
that matter had been forgotten long ago. He joined a ship
at Belfast as steward, and he came to London with the
vessel.

The prisoner made a long and rambling statement, attri-
buting the loss of his situation in the Customs and subse-
quent hardships he had undergone to the dissipated habits
of his wife, which she indignantly denied, and said he had
been a bad husband to her.

Mr. Selfe said the prisoner was a very bad father to his
children or he would have looked after them and contributed
to their maintenance. He supposed the parish had
been put to an expense of £5O at least for the maintenance
of the family.

Mr. Robert Gifford, one of the relieving officers of Mile-
end Old Town, said he family had cost the hamlet upwards
of £3OO. The eldest, a girl, had been put out to service,
two of the boys had been apprenticed, with premiums, and
the mother wad one boy were still inmates of the house. It
was not the object of the guardians to obtain any remune-
ration from the prisoner, but his instructions were to press
for a severe penalty, as an example to other heartless hus-
bands and fathers who abandoned their wives and children.
Mr. Gifford then exhibited, for the information of his
worship, a printed broadside, containing the names, occu-
pations, and descriptions of 30 other deserters for whose
apprehensions the Guardians had offered rewards. The
whole of them would be proceeded against. The expense
of supporting these 30 families was a heavy burthen on the
ratepayers.

Mr. Selfe said this was a very proper prosecution on the
part of the Guardians, and he was glad to hear it was to be
followed by similar proceedings against others. The pri-
soner was a most unfeeling and impudent fellow, and it was
not to be tolerated that families were to be supported at the
expense of ratepayers when those who wero morally and
legally bound to support them had failed to do so. He con-
victed the prisoner as a rogue and vagabond, and sentenced
him to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. If the
prisoner did not support his wife and family when he came
out of gaol ho would be committed again.
