paper. The prisoner's son, alittle boy nine years old, then came
forward, and said that the money in question had been given to
him for painting pictures,
by a man in Exeter-street, who went

Thomas Roberts, a youth about IS, was charged with stealing
a silver cream jug from the house of Andrew Lauroitti, No. 29,
Sackville-street,
Francis Tight stated that he was footman to Mr. Lauroitti.
The prisoner came down the area a quarter before eleven this morn-
ing, and saying that he came from Millar, the fishmonger, asked the
cook if she wanted any fish, Mr. L. rang
the bell, and witness went
up stairs, leaving the prisoner and the cook talking together in the
kitchen. When he returned, the prisoner was leaving the kitchen,
and witness observed some milk on his coat. Witness in looking
at the dresser miswd the cream jug, which he was certain was on

into Vigo-lane, where he overtook and charged him with the theft,
winch he denied, but witness took off his hat, in which he found
the jug. He gave the prisoner into custody.
George Smith, constable, stated that he took charge of the
prisoner from the last witness. He had known the prisoner be •

had searched and found on hint two lace caps and some aprons.
Witness had enquired at other Bonzes in the sante street, and the

ARTFUL AND EXTENSIN't RORRERY.—Richard Hurtin, a
young man in livery, was brought up on a charge of being con-
cerned in an extensive robbery, mmunitted in the house of his
master, Austin, Esq., of No. 15, Red Lion-street, Clerkenwell.
Mr. Austin stated that himself and family bad for some time
past been residing at Hounslow, but that he himself generally
came to town every day to transact business. The house in Red
Lion-street had been left in the charge of a female servant, who had
lived a considerable time in the family, and in whom the greatest
confidence was placed. Besides her, there were likewise in the
house an assistant of his own, and the prisoner at the bar.
On the 10th instant he was surprised to bear, on coming
to town as usual, that Amelia had been absent since
the 'previous afternoon, when she had gone out with a basket of
linen, and stated she was going to take them to • the mangle. No
suspicien of his having been robbed at that time entered his
thoughts, until he was, informed that she had lately. slept on the
door in the drawing-room, under pretence of being plagued by
the bugs in her own apartment. Knowing that room contained
property to a considerable amount, he determined on ascertaining
if it were safe, and proceeded to examine a chest of drawers, fas-
tened throughout with patent locks, all of which remained un-
touched. On opening the first drawer, to his utter dismay it was
empty ; and on examining the rest in succession, he found
they bad been completely cleared of their contents, which were
of the most valuable description of jewellery and plate, amounting
to the value of six or seeen hundred pounds. The reason of her '
wishing to sleep in that room was now quite apparent, for on fur-
ther examination, it was discovered that the back skirting of the
drawer had been entirely removed, awl the backs of the drawers
taken off separately, and replaced in a clumsy manner, after the
Contents had been abstracted. With the assistance of Andrew
Lloyd, it was ascertained that she had been seen shortly after she
left the house with the supposed linen, in a hackney-coach in
Fleet-street, in company with a man nawed Riley, who, used to
visit her. This coach had been traced to Star-court, Temple-bar,
from thence to Piccadilly, and on to Hounslow, where, for a
day or two all trams were lost: Subsequently they were
heard of on the road to Wales, and, after a very sharp
pursuit, were overtaken at Monmouth, residing together
in an obscure lodging„ They were then given into hums-
diate custody, and iu their possession the principal part of the
jewellery was found, the plate-having been differently disposed of.
Riley, when taken, had in his pocket, a gold watch, made fur a
lady, with a gold chain and four gold seals, which was part of the
property stolen. On her examination there, she partially confes-
sed her guilt, and accused the prisoner Hartin,• as being accessary
to the robbery, and that she had bought his silence with a gum
of money. This he acknowledged on being taken into custody,
.and said that she bad been removing the property for some days
previouswascorroborated

This Lloyd, who added that he had traced
property of Mr. Austin's to various pawnbrokers, particularly to
Mr. Chapman's, in St. John-street, where nearly 501. had been
lent on various articles, to a woman whom, be had no doubt, was
the person now in custody at Monmouth.
, Mr. Austin wished to know if the prisoners Riley and Amelia
Roberts could be removed to London, as it would be attended with'
much less expence and trouble than sending all the witnesses, the
number of whom would be, considerable, down to Monmouth.

Mr. Rocnits said he could say nothing about that—an applica-
tion had better be made to the Judge on that Circuit, on whose
concurrence the removal could be immediately effected.

Mr. Austin said, that should he immediately done, and if nut
successful he would himself go to Monmouth, and endeavour to
learn from the female, how far the prisoner Hartin was implicated
in this affair.

The prisoner was then remanded until next Friday

Q UEEN-SQ UA RE. —( Tuts DAY.)
Suoarmrs A FAVOIUTZ CAT.—An elderly lady named Smith,
appeared to answer the complaint of one Ellison, a bricklayer, for
creating a disturbance round his house. The parties are neigh-
bours residing in Manor-buildings, King's-road, Chelsea. On
Tuesday last'in consequence of the defendant's cat destroying the
flowers in his garden, he shut it; he had put up with the an-
noyance for about six years, and had repeatedly mentioned to
Mrs. Smith the injury his garden sustained by her cat, who
told him to beat it, and he eventually killed it. This
coming to the knowledge of the defendant, on Wednesday even-
ing, on complainant and his wife's return home, she abused them
most violently, and caused a disturbance round, the house, for
upwards of an Luur, desiring complainant to come out and fight
like a man. He told Mrs. Smith he WA' sorry for what had
happened, and offered to make her any recompence for the cat,
but she declared that 1001. would not satisfy her, all she wanted
Was her favourite eat, 'Moll, and would have blood fur blood.—
He at length went to his bed, leaving a crowd of persons round
his house. . , _

---The ;ife of complainant spoke to the above, and added, that
about nine o'clock yesterby morning Mrs. Smith brought a dead
cat in a pan to her gate, and danced it in front of her face. She
also carried a pole with a black flag, and the neighbours gave her
different coloured ribbons, with which' she paraded up and down
in front of her residence, and witness keeping a day-school, could
not receive the children, but was couipeUed to seclude herself till
half-past eleven o'clock in the day. A number of persous were
assembled, who kept hallooing and making a great noise. The
defendant repeatedly said she would have blood fur hlOO4l.
Another witness, named Harrold, spoke of the disturbance,
and said that Mr. Ellison was sorry fur what had taken place,
and was mast willing to compensate her. She replied that 1001.
would not satisfy her—nothing but a turn Ont, and World for blood.
Yesterday morning the defendant came again, and danced about
with a long pole and the dead cat.
Mrs. Smith, in answer to the complaint, seemed deeply afflicted
with the loss of her favorite cat Moll ; the had had it for seven
years, and it waft a most faithful animal. (..1 Wednesday even
-
big, When she returned home, she could, not believe the cat was
killed, for defendant would have sooner lust her own life than the
animal should be injured, and declared most solemnly she never
uttered the words blood for blood.
