BOW-STREET.

Yesterday John Smith, a most notorious thief, was charged
before Sir Baer(Ann BIIINIE, the Sitting Magistrate,. witti
stealing from. the person of Thomas Hall a pocket-book, con-
taining one sovereign, a shilling and.sixpence.
The witness, who is a respectable tradesman residing in Ger-
rard-street, Soho, stated, that on Saturday night last he went
into a public-house in Long-acre, and. called for a glass of
liquor, and took out his pocket-book, which contained the
above stated money, to pay for it. At this time witness ob-
served the prisoner standing close to him, and im a minute after
tat his pocket-book move in his coat pocket. He directly
turned round,_ and saw the prisoner draw his hand in the three-
tion from his pocket, and the prisoner ran out. Witness missed
his book, and pursued him, crying out " Stop thief !" Some
watchmen succeeded in stopping him. On witness coming up
to him, the prisoner rushed forwards and thrust his hand against
witness's breast, saying at the time, " Here it. is, in your
breast." Witness put up: his hand and felt his pocket=book; is
sure that he did not place it there himself ; he, witness, accom-
panied the prisoner to the watch-house, and there examined his
pocket-book, and found the contents all safe; he afterwards re-
turned to the public-house for the purpose of paying for a glass
which he had broken in the hurry of pursuing the prisoner,
and finding the house closed, he was returning back, when he
was hustled by two men, one of whom struck him a violent
blow on the eye, and then made off; has no doubt they were
friends of the prisoner, as he had observed them lurking about
the public-house door when he first entered it.

.Morris Quill, one of the watchmen of the parish of St. Giles
in the Fields, stated that about twelve o'clock on Saturday
night laSt he saw the prisoner run down Nottingham-court, and
prosecutor after him ; laid hold of him and detained him ; pro-
secutor came up and charged prisoner with having stoln his
pocket-book ; saw the prisoner thrust his hand against the pro-
secutor's breast, and heard him say that the book was there; no
person was running except the watchmen.
Robert Cooper, a watchman of St. Martin's, corroborated the.
evidence of Quill.
Prisoner alleged in his defence that he only went into the
public-house to have half a pint of beer, and observed the pro-
secutor place his pocket-book in his breast pocket, and after
leaving the public-house he saw the prosecutor running, crying
Stop Thief, and supposing he had forgot where he had put it,
he merely ran after-huu to remind him of where he had *depo-
sited it.

Sir R. BIRNIE remarked, ,that it was rather unfortunate the
prisoner could not give a better account, as he did not think it
would avail him any thing on his trial.

About a twelvemonth ago the prisoner was apprehended with
three others on a charge of highway robbery on the Edgware_
road. - Prisoner was armed with a loaded pistol at the time.—
They were all three committed for trial at • the ensuing Old
Bailey Sessions, where, owinrto some doubt as to their identity,
the prisoner fortunately escaped the capital charge ; he was,
however, sentenced to six months' imprisonment as a rogue and
a vagabond, in having the pistol in his possession with latent to
assault some person. Subsequent to the expiration of his sen-
tence, he has repeatedly been in custody for felony.

A victim of disappointed love may be daily seen wandering
about the streets and Inches of Perth, in a state of mental de-
rangement, barefooted, almost in a state of nudity, and with
haggard looks, yet perfectly harmless. He was a pains-tcltiug
journeyman shoemaker, and loved a young woman, whoSe fa-
ther was perfectly satisfied that he should nuirre her. But the
mother wa rather ally •in granting her consent to the union,
although the young man was industrious, and bad even saved
from his earnings somewhat,towards furnishing an outfit when
he should succeed in his love-suit. Things were wearing to ma-
turity, when he inadvertently remarked in conversation, that he
iouad it a more difficult task to court the mother a•ban the
daughter. Some officious gossip repeated the words to his
nearly-betrothed, and her maiden pride was keenly offended at
the insinuation that she should be considered so easily won. A
breacb ensued; the love-trinkets which had been occasionally
presented to her were indignantly returned; and to increase
the evil, the inconsiderate maiden appeared in public with a
rival. Jealousy, wounded pride, and unextinguished affection,
agitated the bosom of the discarded lover, and soon disordered
his reason. It became necessary to confipe him in a strait
waistcoat; but the mind's tempest subsided into a settled me-
lancholy madness. At the first paroxysm of his disorder, the
faithless maid was introduced into his presence: bat he looked at
her with a vacant stare of stupid indifference, without the least
symptoms of recognition ; and the sight of the weeping beauty
failed to counteract the mental poison-his mind had imbibed.—
