matter of these bankrupts, who are described as of 37, Old

zeal and ability displayed by those gentlemen in tracing
out the transactions of the bankrupts.

rupts), fully concurred in the observations of Mr. Link-
later, and observed that his clients were fully sensible of
the great services rendered by the experienced accountants.

rupts passed.

POLICE INTELLFIENCE—(This Day).

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SHOPLIFTING AT A JEWELLER'S.--:Emma Pickard and
Sarah Lane, two respectably-attired young females, were
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a gold watch
and turquoise ring, the property of Thomas Dander Perry,
jeweller, 131, Oxford-street.

William 'Walters, shopman to Mr. Perry, said—Yester-
day afternoon, about a quarter before four, the prisoners
came into the shop while I was serving a customer. They
were attended to by a female till I had served the customer.
They said they wanted a finger ring. After they had
looked at a tray of rings a short time I missed one from the
tray, and they then said none would suit them, and they
were about to leave, but I called them back, and told them
I had missed a ring. Having told Mr. Perry of it he
ordered me to fetch a constable, and I did so. Pri-
soners said they knew nothing of it. The value
of the ring was £1 17s. At the station, after the prisoners
were charged and taken from the dock to be searched, the
constable saw something glittering on the floor of the dock,
which, on being picked up, by him, I found to be the
missing ring, though much damaged. On this being told
the prisoners they still denied all knowle ge of the ring.
The constable who took the prisoners into custody said
nothing was known of them.

The prisoners said they were willing to pay for the ring,
if prosecutor would take the money.
Mr. Perry said he had asoertair ed they had been into
another jeweller's before coming to him.
Tho prisoners expressing a wish to have the easo settled
at once,

Mr. Tyrwhitt committed them for three months each,
with hard labour.

THAMES.

ROBBING CHILDREN IN THE STREETS.—James John-
son, a dark sinister looking man, about 25 years of age,
was brought before Mr.' Selfe, charged with stealing two
over coats from two boys named Messer and Norrish.

The boys were passing along the New,road, Whitechapel,
a few days ago, each with an over coat on his arm, and the
prisoner came up to them in a very great hurry, and said,
here boys, here is a treat for you—go to No. 16, Simpson-
street, round the corner, and ask for some white mice and
rabbits, there are plenty there ; and at the same time pulled
the two coats from the boys. He also said' go to No. 16,
the second turning, and ask for the white mice, rabbits, and
all George's things. The children, who were taken by sur-
prise, immediately proceeded to the house in question, and
could find neither white mice or rabbits. , On returning to
the spot where they left the prisoner he was not to be found.
The two coats were afterwards found in the possession of a
pawnbroker,fwho produced them; and sail the prisoner had
pawned them
The prisoner pleaded guilty.

Mr. Selfe—Guilty. Yes, there is no doubt of your guilt
whatever. It is a most rascally kind of robbery to,accost
poor children in the streets and steal their coats.

Inspector Holloway, of the H division, said the prisoner
was an old thief and a dangerous one, and lied been in
penal servitude for four years for a felony.
Mr. Solfe—Where is the officer to prove that ?
Inspector Holloway—l don't know where to find the
constable at present.

Mr. Selfe—Then I shall convict the prisoner summarily,
and sentence him to &ix months imprisonment and hard
labour. I should have been better pleased if the boys had
worn their coats—not carried them upon their arms.
Mrs. Norxish, the mother of one of the boys, here said
that Robert Messer took off his coat and her boy did the
same.

Mr. Selfe—Tell your boys to wear them in future.
