last he received the letter produced by post, enclosing
the sinister halves of two 51. Bank of England notes,
and an order for a double -barrelled gun, two single-

and Co., of Leicester, the corresponding half notes
spoken to by the last witness.
Mrs. Jane Jones stated that in September last she
was housekeeper in the service of Mr. Draper, at the
Globe Tavern, and recollected a person coming to
request tinit a letter addressed to Mr. John Moore
might be received there. She afterwards took the
letter and a box directed to that person, but as the
man wore a fustian coat and a different dress from
the prisoner, sho could not positively swear that he
was the person.
Mr. JARDINE ordered the prisoner to be committed
for trial.

CHARGC OF BURGLARY.—A young man named
Thomas Cqffee, described as a painter and glazier,
was placed at the bar, charged with stealing from the
Feathers public-house, in Great Wild-street, Lin-
coln's Inn-fields, the sum of 901. in gold, 8/. in silver,
a quantity of copper money, silk handkerchiefs, silver
spoons, and a silver watch, the property of George
Mason, the landlord.
The prosecutor's wife stated that the prisoner had
been her lodger for a week, ha% ing resided in the
house previously to hOr husband taking the premises.
About eight o'clock, on the night of the 26th of De-
cember, she wanted to go to her bedroom, but found,
after repeated attempts, that the staircase door was
fastened, which she concluded was done by her hus-
band, who was not in the house at the time. About
twelve o'clock her husband opened it, and having
gone into the room he found that the box had been
broken open, and all the property it contained taken
away. The same evening the prisoner borrowed ss.
from her husband, and then went away, leaving three
suits of clothes behind him. The prisoner had heard
a conversation between her and her husband about
going to the distillery with the money that had been
stolen, and she never saw him again till he was in
custody.
The prisoner denied having overheard any such
conversation.

Constable Thompson, 1' division, said he traced the
prisoner to No. 2, Vine-court, Clerkenwell, where
he apprehended him in a back room. Three keys
were found upon him, one of which opened the box
from which the property was stolen, together with 53
pawnbrokers' duplicates. lie knew the prisoner to
be a returned transport. •
Mr. JARDINE ordered him to be remanded for a
week.
