MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)

Henry Thoma', a young man, who stated himself to be
a sailor, living in Charles-street, Hampstead-road, was.
charged with buiglariously breaking out of the dwelling
house of James Smith, Esq., of No. 14, Soho square,
having stohn therein a quantity of plate, and wearing ap •
parel.
Johanna Callaghan, servant to Mr. Smith, stated that
about eight o'clock last evening the prisoner brought a
note, addressed to her master, which she took to him
tip stairs, leaving the prisoner standing in the hall,
waiting for an answer. Having received one from
Mr. Smith, he went away, but returned again
in a short time, and asked leave to w•iit in
the hall, as a gentleman would call there in a few
minutes respecting the note he had brought. Witness
consented to his remaining there, and went down stab s.
Shortly aft( rwards she noticed that he was not in the
hall, and concluded he had gone away. It however ap-
peared that he had managed to secrete himself in one of
the apartments in the house, and remained there all
night. Between five and six o'clock this morning, as she
was coming down stairs, she thought she heard
the footsteps of some one in the passage lead-
ing to the street•door, and on hastening there saw
the prisoner in the act of going out at the door. He
shut it after him, and, on her opening it, she found him
on the step, putting on a pair of her master's boots. He
had also a coat belonging to her master on his arm, and
a bundle tied up in a silk handkerchief. She seized
hold of him, but he broke from her, and set off running.
Although she was only half-dressed she pursued him
for a considerable distance, calling " Stop thief !" and at
length lie was seized by police•constable No. 118 of the
C division. The bundle was found to contain two frock-
coats, five silver gravy spoons, two silver forks, four
silver soup ladles, and two silver tea-spoons, Mr. Smith's
property, and which he had taken from different parts
of the house.

Mr. Smith said the note the prisoner brought pur-
ported to be from a person he knew nothing of, respect-
ing strne publications, and was evidently a ruse to get
into the house.

The prisoner made no defence, and was committed for
trial at the. Central Criminal Court.
