Re was going, lie said, along George-street, St. Giles's, between
three and four o'clock yesterday afternoon, after taking "a drap o
drink " with a friend, when he was accosted by a female, who see.
ing his merry humour, very politely asked him to her lodgings.
Such an invitation from a lady, no tailor could refuse, and he gal-
lantly escorted her to a house in Church-street; they were going uP
stairs, when he observed the prisoner come out of a room into
which he was introduced by his ~here amie. There was some-
thing very hospitable in her manner. She treated him with every
thing the house could afford, and after-an interesting tete-a-tete, he
fell into the arms of Morphens, and on to an elegant turn-up
bedstead. When he went into the house he had 345. safe in his
watch pocket, and he was awoke as he thought by a twitching
of the extremities. He opened his eves, and to his no small as-
tonishment, found the prisoner tugging with amazonian vigour,
at his small clothes. She had succeeded in drawing them over
his boots, but a pair of strong leather straps impeded her further
progress. He jumped up, and missing
his coat, money, and hand-
kerchief, accused her of the theft. With the most unblushing
effrontery she denied having seen them or him before that moment ;
he, however, was not to be put off so easily, but procured a conga-
ble, and gave her in charge. The other young lady was not to
be found.

The prisoner said that the latter had intimated a wish for her
(prisoner's) apartment, as she wished to receive a friend. She
gave it up to her, and, on entering her room, some time after-
wards, she found the complainant in the state he had described,
when he accused her of the theft, of which she knew nothing.—
She did not know where the other girl was to be found. She was
remanded till Saturday.

HATTON GARDEN.—(ruts DAY).
Richard White was brought before W. L. RoGY",
charged with the following daring burglary in the house of Mr.
Austin, silversmith, 4 Ratcliffe terrace, Goswell-road :
From the evidence of a watchman on that beat, it appeared
that about four o'clock this morning the prisoner was seen with a
large bundle under very suspicions circumstances, anti conse-
quently stopped. The bundle contained a large quantitY of wear •
ing apparel and a bag of quicksilver. Some of the linen had Mr.
Austin's name on it, which led to a discilVery.
Mr. Austin said, that on getting up this morning he found his
house had been entered during the night by the back way, and the
linen produced taken from the back-kitchen. The robber had
gone to the top of the house to his workshop, but it being a maxim
of his to remove every thing valuable from the shop at night, no-
thing could he stolen but the quicksilver or tools, the former of
which, the prisoner had availed himself of, and abstracted a con-
ssderable quantity. The entrance had been effected by forcing
the lock of the back-kitchen door, to which access had been gained
through some unfinished buildings in King-street. A small jemmy,
or crow-bar, was left near the back-door.

The prisoner made no defence, and was remanded till Saturday.

.NIARYLEBONE.—(Tits DAv.)
Aimer Armstrong was brought up on a charge of theft. ?Mary
King, a married woman, residing at No. 18, Little Exeter-street,
stated, that on Saturday the 15th of July last, about ten in the
morning, she ran out to the street to take in her child, which was
nearly run over by a horse and cart; and upon returning to her
house she went to a drawer, in which she had left a gown ready
to put on when she went out, but found it gone. She never saw
it since till this morning, when, as she was walking in Earl's-
street, Lisson Grove, she observed it on the prisoner, who
was then talking to two men. The complainant immediately
made up to her, sad charged her with having her property
on. Prisoner said She bought the gown at Kensington, and
wished to get away. Some wrangling ensued, and a number
pf poople assembled on the spot. The complainant described par-
tieglav .marks on her own gown, which are on the gown in the
prisoner's possession.
A constabla took the prisoner into custody, to whom she men-
tioned that she had purchased the gown at Kensington, but would
not tell him from whom, adding, however, that she would tell
the Magistrate. _ _ _

The prisoner stated before the Magistrate that she bought the
gown from a pedlar at Kensington, whose name she did not know.

Sarah Rowlie, next door neighbour to Mrs. King, swore that
she heard the lodgers in a neighbour's house say, that they saw
the prisouer asleep in a privy close to Mrs. Kings house on Friday
evening, before the gown was stolen, and on several occasions
previously. Witness further swore, that a great number of arti-
cles were stolen in the neighbourhood about the same time.
The lodgers not having come forward, the prisoner was re-
manded for further examination.
