MANSION-HOUSE.—"kiweat England was yester-
day taken betore, the Loup Mavoa, charged with
stealing sevt.« I yards of jean, fustian, cloth, and
canvas, the property of Mr. Ansay, faylef and mer-
cer, in Houndsd:tch, to whom he had tieen porter.

It appear'-d from the testimony .of Mr. Apsay,
that the prisoner had been, only eleven days in his
employment ; and that - on the pieceding evening,
feoin smite .suspicions,Which arose in. his mind, ori-
ginating in ti.e conduct of the prisoner, tie was in-
duced to call him into the counting-house, where
he taxed him .with dishonesty, but he firmly denied
his guilt, and persisted in his lisert ions of innocence
until he was searched by an otTher, ror whom Mr.
Apsay sent, and who found in the prisoner's pocket
eight yards of jean, and one yard of canvas, the,prd-
perty of his employer. The manner in ',cinch he
accounted for the possession of those articles was,
by .saying he had taken theta -for an apron. On
searching his lodgings, however, a large quantity of
cloth,clothes, and other things, which Mr. Apsay
recognised as: his, were also found ; so that the
guilt of the prisoner was established beyond the pos•
sibility of doubt.
Under these circumstances, the _LORD MAYOR
Committed him for trial, without asking him for
his deft:me.

The wife and two daughters of the prisoner,
vete in the-ofiice: and were in the gremest mental
agony during his examination. He is
..nearly sixty
years of age, of decent appearance.
John Pearce was-next put-to the bar on a charge
somewhat similar to_ the last; that is, with robbing
bis masts, Mr Fl-dges, blacking manufaaurer, of
a bottle of Hacking and three . sticks of Spanish-
juice. Suspicions were entertained of the dishonesty
of some of the men employed in• the warehouse,
and on a battle of blacking been found concealed in
a ,ecret 'cornier, it, was at once presumed some per-
son had placed it there with intent to carry it off;
a spy was therefore placed in a convenient situation
tr watch the spot where the blacking• was hidden, in
order to discover who might remove it.j and after
all the other workmen had left the house, except
the prisoner, he was observed Approaching the &Jr
net ana putting the bottle into his pocket. On leav-
ing the warehouse, he was, pursued and taken into
custody,' with the proof of his gtiilt on his perso-n.
He was committed for trial.
' :Two bloods •of the lowest order was brought up,
on a charge of insulting a watchman at two o'clock
yesterday morning on his duty; and with threaten-
ing to give the night-pattole a quaker (otherwise a
finisher; or, plainly speaking, a death-blow) if he
interfered with their noaurnal amusements.

The two gentlemen were yesterday as mild as
quitkers ; but in order that - the elusions of their
spirits might have sufficient tithe to evaporate com-
pletely, they were sent to durance bile until this
,day,
by which time, no doubt, they will feel the impro-
priety of their couckit.

GUILDHALL.--Thomas and William Kelly were
brought hither yesterday; the one charged vitit
stealing, and the other with receiving a cake of
mottled soap, the property of Mr: Coward, of Crip'--
plegate parish.
From the testimony of the prosecutor, it appear-
ed that the prisoner, Thomas Kelly, had beer. hts
carter for a considerable tittle; and was, faa, a
confidential and much respeaed servant. Several
intimations had been sent to him, stating that this
man was daily plundering him and selling his pro-
perty; tiut as hes conceived this information rather
arose from, some invidious motive, than from the
existence of the faa alleged, he did not take any •
notice of it ; until, at length, from the repeated re-
marks of 'his 'neighbours, he was induced to speak j
to Leadbeater and Cartwright, two of the city
officers, to whom he communicated his suspi-
cions. fly their advice the prisoner was vs atchecl
when taking a cart load of soap to .the vicinity
of Holborn, on Monday evening; and after deli-
vering his load, he was traced back to a street
in the vicinity of hii, master's house, at a door
in which he stopped, and after taking some-
thing _from his: cart, which, froth the darkness of
the evening could not be discerned, he went into
the house, and up stPirs ; he was immediately t'ol-
towed and found in a room in the first floor with a
man; who proved-to be his -brother, the prisoner,
-William Kelly. Upon a desk in the room was dis- -
covered a cake~ of mottled soap. On being accused
of plundering his employer, he denied the justice of
the charge, and 'said the cake of soap found in the
room was a, piece that was over-weight in a load
which had been sent to the Custom-house a few
days before for, exportation. This story however
proved to be utterly false, as the soap which had been
shipped at the Custom-house was yellow, and amt
mottled. Mr. Coward therefore deemed it proper
to have both prisoners secured and brongit to jus- ,
tice.

.Mr. Alderman SMITH immediately committed
the prisoners for trial.osNerving, that from the vast
number of depredations of this sort which were
daily cotrmitted, he .shOuld AIL discharging ()IS
duty if he did not seize every opportunity of making
the-most severe
rexample of such treacherous

BOW-STREET. Yesterday "George Jones was
brought before Mr. NARES,• charged by his master,
Mr. Delaville,-,a wit ,e and spirit merchant, in Cie-
menCs-inn. •

The prosecutor stated, that the prisOner was em-
ployed by him as porter, and that lie has frequently
mi•sed from his cellars divers quantities of spirits,
and several bottles of wine.
William Salmon, belonging to' the office, said,
that he apprehended the prisoner and searched his
box, and found four pamplets and a seal, which the
prosecutor identified to be his property.—He was
committed for trial.

HATTON-GARDEN,--Yesterday John ilinsley , a
young wan of genteel appearance, was brought up
and underwent a final examinalion, being charged
with entering the dwelling-house of W. W. Deacon,
Esq. in Tavistock-squase, near the King's-road, and

stealing therein a quantity of silver plate. He was
detected by a female servant ;Is 11C.Wa3 going out at
the street-d.ior; when he was taken into custody.
The article.t.were found. tipon'lis 'person, which
were identified by the prosecutor.--The prisoner
