DARING ROBBERY.—Thomas llogan, a lad, aged
17 years, who is well known to the police, was
brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing 3
cheese, weighing 22Ibs. and valued at 175., from
the shop of Mr. Thomas Mackey, a cheesemonger
in Stepney.
Yesterday evening a police-constable named
David Isled, No. 77 H, saw the prisoner carrying
a cheese on his shoulders in Birch-lane, Spitalfields,
and thinking it was not right, and that the pri-
soner from his appearance was a thief, followed
him as far as Corbit's-court, where he stopped hull
and asked him some questions, to which he re"
plied that he brought the cheese from White-
chapel, and was on his way to Shoreditch-market•
Ile was asked his master's name, to which he could
make no answer. He was taken to the station"
house, and he then said that he had no master, and
had stolen the cheese.

Mr. and Mrs. Mackey said the cheese was stolen
from their shop about 6 o'clock yesterday evening.
Mrs. Mackey added that she saw the prisoner loiter-
ing about the shop after the cheese was put on the
board outside.

The Prisoner—No you did not. I am sure you
did not see me at all. I was passing the shop and
lifted the cheese from another, and walked aWai
with it. That's how L did it.

A policeman said the prisoner was committed to
prison for three months on the 19th of May last for
attempting to steal a gentleman's watch. The
chain of the watch was broken. On another occv
sion Kendall, the gaoler of the Worship-street
police-court, said the prisoner who was charged
_ _

with theft had recently left a reformatory.
Mr. Paget—For what offence was he committed
to a reformatory?
Witness—l really do not know, sir. Be WA
committed to a reformatory for three years.
Mr. Paget—And has come out un-reformed.
The prisoner made no defence, and he was COra'
witted for trial.

Richard Bassett, aged 44, was brought before
Mr. Paget charged with stealing 11b. 2oz. of copper'
the property of the London Dock Company, froui
their premises.
John Crutaley, a constable, stopped the pri-
soner as he was leaving the dock, yesterday after"
noon, and he found a lump of copper on his persov.
The prisoner said he picked it up.
Mr. Paget said there were no cases gave bits
more pain than the miserable ones brought frool
the docks. Poor men, in the employment of the
dock companies would yield to temptation, and b 0
dishonest, and he was compelled to punish than
for these little petty robberies, send them to prisovt
and their wives and families were thrown upon the
parishes for relief or starved. He should put the
law in force to the full extent of his power. 110
sentenced the prisoner to two months' imprisonment
