Devon-hire-street, Port Lind-place, in wl.ose service he had

It appeared that from time to time pro. etty of various kinds
—sheets, pillowcases, a silver pencil-ea,e, riding•whip, &
had been mi sed, and ye,terday afternoon the f iiseovery being
made that the boy prisoner had sold the pencii• case to a lad to
the neighb :urhood for a penny, he was given into custody.
Police constab!c No. 50 of the E division afterwards proceeded
to the lodgings of the mother. at No. 27, Jeffs place, Portniana
market, and obtained from her duplicates of a part of the stolen
property, which she adinitud having ,iledgeth and that it had
been brought to her by her son. She had also in her posses-
sion 144 pawnbrokers' duplicates relating to household property,
such as bed linen, silver spoons, pictures, &c.
The female prisoner said that the property was all her own.
The prosecutrix said she knew that the prisoner had been in
better circumstances, and probably some of the property might

from her house. She had ascertained that the woman was
struggling hard to support her fainil, , having been deserted by
her husband, who was now in a good situation as butler, and
perhaps her distressed condition might have induced her to do
what she had. tier (the prosecutrix's) object was not to
punish but to save the boy.
At her humane intercession the mother was allowed to go at
large for the present, and the boy was remanded until Saturday
next, to give time for the examination of the property at the
different pawnbrokers.

Susrlctous DEATH —On Wednesday a man named Joseph
Clark, a wooden-legged man, a jobbing porter in the neigh-
bourhood of Spitalfields, was brought before Mr Bingham, on
suspicion of having been accessory to the death of a man whose
name is unknown.

The deceased was discovered about six o'clock yesterday
morning, lying in one of the archways beside tie new street in
course of formation from St. Katharine's-dock through Spital-
fields. There were several hurts about the forehead and other
parts, which might have been occasioned by a fall upon bricks
or vanes, but there was a straight cut of a severe nature upon
the crown of the head, which appeared quite distinct from the
other hurts, and the side of the line of street was fenced by a
railing of such height that an ordinary-sized man could not
easily have fallen over it. No property of any kind was found
upon the deceased but a sailor's discharge ticket, bearing the
date of the current year, and the name of Michael William
Edwards. The dee,ased, however, had more the boil of a rail-
way v.orkm in.
Serg. ant Barker said that about haF-past six yesterday
morning he received information, in con •equence of which he
went t 4 th 3 spot. above mentioned, and there found the de-
ceased lying on his face, and weltering in his blood, which was
issuing from the mouth and nose. Subsequently he received a
letter, which induced him to take the prisoner into custody.
James White, resident in Spitalfields, said that he procured
the letter to be written. He proceeded to state that about
half-past eleven on Tuesday night, v hile passing through
Wentworth-street, he saw the prisoner and atio:her man, whom
he believed to he the deceased, apinst a shop window. The
man seefned to be drunk, and the prisoner, who appeared to be
sober, was poking him in the side with a stick as hard as he
could, while another man was eneour,ging the prisoner, and
hitting the man with his fist. The witness said he was passing
on the opposite side, but he was sure the prisoner was the per-
, son he saw hitting the other.
The prisoner said he knew nothing about the deceased or
any violence committed upon him.
The Magistrate remanded him until the Coroner's inquest
should have been held.
