CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.)

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)

Richard May, described in the calendar as a cattle-
dealer, 54 years of age, was charged with stealing 40/.
from Stephen Rose.
Mr. Thorpe prosecuted, and Mr. Ribbon defended the
prisoner.

It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor, as
described by the learned counsel for the prosecution, is
• "a raw and verdant youth," not from the agricultural
districts, but a fisherman of Oxfordshire ; and in Decem-
ber last he came to London, and received a sum of
money, which he placed in a purse and gave to the
landlord of the house he was stopping at to keep for
him. He then strolled out for a walk, and when in
New Oxford-street he was accosted by the prisoner, who
asked him if he had been to the cattle-show.
Prosecutor replied that he had, and after some further
conversation the prisoner proposed that they should
go to a public-house and have something to drink.
They did so, and whilst there a third man came in
and said that be had just received a legacy of 2,500/,
and twenty houses, but that a portion of it was to
be give❑ to the poor, and he proposed to give 201.
to the prisoner and 201. to the prosecutor ; but, be-
fore doing so, ho must be satisfied of their respect.
ability, by their showing what "capital " they had.
The prisoner produced what appeared to the prosecutor
to be gold and notes, and the latter went to the
public-house where he was lodging, and returned with
his money. The prisoner and his friend tried a
variety of means to induce the prosecutor to part
with his money, but he had sense enough not to do
so. At last the prisoner appeared to be angry
with his friend, and asked him to give him
a sovereign for his loss of time. The third
man expressed his readiness to do so, on which
the prisoner gave him his purse, and he appeared
to drop a coin in it. Prisoner then said to his friend
that be ought to give the prosecutor a sovereign also
for his loss of time, which the friend was so obliging as
to consent to, and asked the prosecutor for his purse to
put it in. The prosecutor still objected to part with his
purse, but held it open for the third man to drop the
sovereing in. The third man then took something like
a coin from his pocket, and whilst prosecutor was
holding the purse open the third man let something
fall on the floor, and in stooping to pick it up
snatched the purse out of the prosecutor's hands,
and on rising handed to him a purse similar
to his own and then the two men ran off. Prosecutor on
finding his loss, immediately ran after them and suc-
ceeded in capturing the prisoner and holding him till a
policeman came up, when he charged him with stealing
his money. The prisoner protested his innocence and
tried to get away from the policeman's custody. When
he was searched at the station-house one purse was found
on him, which contained 14 halfpence and seven coun-
terfeit sovereigns, and also a lock with which no doubt
many have been eased of their money, by what is known
as the "lock trick." The prisoner is well known to the
police, and has been in trouble before in reference to
these tricks.

The jury found the prisoner guilty, and the learned
Recorder sentenced him to 12 rnonths'imprisonment with
hard labour.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

THAMES.

CONVICTION OF A FEMALE BURGLAR.—Ann Roston,
a most incorrigible thief, aged 33 years, was brought
before Mr. Selfe, charged with entering the dwelling-
house of William Middleton, in Pennington street, Rat-
cliff•highway, and stealing therefrom a coat, a pair of
trowsers, 3 shirts, 2 bonnets, a table-cloth, and other
property.

It appeared that Mrs. Middleton, as she laid in bed
at a late hour last night, heard the chain of her street
door rattle, and hastily left ber room and rushed into
the passage, where she saw the prisoner with a large
bundle in her possession. Upon asking the prisoner what
business she had in the house, she replied that she
thought it was her own dwelling, and had made up a
bundle in the kitchen. Toe bundle consisted of the
property above-mentioned, which had been taken out of
the kitchen. The prisoner must have entered the house
in the early part of the evening, and concealed herself
until the family had retired to rest.

Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner had
been repeatedly in custody, and twice convicted of
robberies committed under similar circumstances.
The prisoner said she was in a state of destitution.

Mr. Selfe—You have just come out of prison, and I
cannot overlook this serious offence.

The prisoner—l committed the robbery while I was

excited.

Mr. Selfe—Nonsense. You Lave been convicted
twice before, and I recollect your face very well indeed.
Do you plead guilty or not guilty
The prisoner—l am guilty.

Mr. Selfe—Then I sentence you to six months' im-
prisonment and hard labour; it id no use giving you less.
If you are brought here before me again, I will cammit
you for trial, and you will no doubt, if convicted, be sen•
tenced to a long term of penal servitude.

The prisoner—l want my pawnbroker's duplicates,
which a policeman took from me.
Mr. Selfe—No. I shall not make any order about
them, for it is very likely the property to which these
duplicates relate has been stolen.
