room nhe prisoner displayed by his manner some anxiety
as to tbe presence of an officer, aid in consequence of _
this the witness asked the prisoner if the cloak belonged :

in need of. As the prisoner was leaving the shop at
tea-time, he was observed to drop, by accident, &
piece of brass, the property of the prosecutor, whic/4
he had no right to have about him. Fruit

The prisoner said distress had driven him to commit
the offence.
Mr. HAanwicx—This is one of the blackest cases of
ingratitude that ever was brought before me. . Pleadie4
' poverty under such circumstances is nonsense. I shslL
commit the prisoner to Newgate for trial at the Central
Criminal Court.
