Sir RICHARD MISHIT asked, with soots surprise, if this was the
Course which he usually pursued when persons were detected pil-
fering in his employer's shop: •1 - -
Defendant—Oh, yes, we always retire persons in this way when
we find them robbing-us. It is a less troublesome plan than pro-
%tenting ; we find it answers bettni., ,
Sit RICHARD( RIRNIS—WdI, I confess it is a new.system of
police; but however convenient you may find it, I would have
you to know that it is not quite,in conformity with the law
of the lend, and I must therefore hold you to bail for assaulting
this boy, whose innocence of guilt, with respect to the weight in
question, forms no part of the present inquiry. As you say, how-
ever, that your master's shop IRIS no one to attend it during your
absence, I shall take your respective recognizances for your appear-
ance here again. The defendants were' then discharged on their
own bail.
The press of business before Sir RICHARD Stasis was so great,
that a case under Mr. Peel's late act for the protection of gardens
and orchards, was gone into in Alr. Stafford's office, before ---
Robinson, Esq., a county magistrate.
Six little boys, named James Thompson, Thomas Williams,
Thomas Farrington, William Williams,
.John Watson, and
Lawrence Hamilton, were brought up in custody, charged with
having robbed the garden of Mr. Samuel Nevitt, market-gardener,
residing in Acton, on Sunday evening last. ,
The case was proved only against the two boys first named;
the former, James Thompson, was seen throwing the apples to one
of his companions, and on the latter; Thomas Williams, there
were found seven apple,.
The fathers of the convicted boys, and the lads themselves,
pleaded bard to be exempted from punishment. They urged
that it was their first offence, and hoped his worship would be
lenient.
Mr. ROBINsOX, after referring to the act, sentenced the boys to
14 days' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correc-.
tenon, and on being further urged to be lenient, he said, " If you
are not satisfied, I will extend the term to six months.''.
AIARYLEBONE OFFICE --Yesterday a yoUng man, about
22 years of age, of genteel appearance, named Thomas Weaver,
MSS charged with the following robbery by Mr. Bates, linen-
draper and haberdasher, of No. 2, Thayer-street, Marylebone.
Mr. Bates,stated, that he had taken the prisoner into hie service
as shopman about- three months ago; he was well recommended.-
Within this month past he was living in a style of expense that
could not be supported by the salary he was to give him, which
was 60 guineas a-year and board and lodging; his suspicions were
in consequence excited, which gave him pain, as lie placed the most
unbounded confidence in him, and treated him with the greatest
kindness. He nude up his mind to put him away, gave him
notice, and told him to make up his accounts to Thursday
evening. Prisoner, however, requested, as a favotir, that he
might be .allowed to remain in the house that night, which
Mr. Bates acceded to. About eight o'clock the same evening,
the lady of a French Baron, who was in the habit of dealing with
him, came into the shop, where she was suddenly taken ill with a
spasmodic attack. Mr. Bates showed the lady to the drawing,
room, and immediately sent fur a medical gentleman, who ordered
the lady to be blooded. Tape being required to bind her' arm
after bleeding, Mr. Bates desired prisoner to step down to the
shop and bring some. The shop was at this time closed fur the
night, the lady being so ill that it was near 11 o'clock before she
was able to leave the house. He went down, but remained so
much longer than could be necessary, that Mr. Bates suspected all
was
,not right.' The prisoner shortly after retired to bed ; he
slept in the same room with Mr. Bates, and next morning, while
prisoner was asleep, Mr. Bates went to his pocket to get the key
of the shop, which he, prisoner, was in the habit of opening, and
there found the piece of lace now produced. Ale sent form officer
and had his box examined, in which was found eight pair of
stockings worth M. 6d. a pair. The prisoner then admitted the
articles to be Mr. Bates's, and that he had stolen them. Mr.
Bates being confirmed in his suspicions, and recollecting that the
prisoner had a sister in Greenwich, proceeded thither, accom-
panied by the officer. The sister was from home, but her daughter,
on knowing their business, produced a veil, some muslin, and a
quantity of Gros-de-Naples silk, which she said prisoner had given
her mother, and which Mr. Bates recognized as his own. The
veil was worth 128. and the silk about 28s. And in answer to a
question front the Magistrate, he said he had not the least doubt
of the property being his.
The prisoner was now asked what be had to say to the charge?
Ile ma& no reply. Ile covered his face with his hands and rip-
peareddeeply affected. He was now about to be committed, when
Mr. BaotionTorr, the magistrate, asked Mr. Bates if he
thought the'remanding of the priaouer would lead to the discovery
of other property ?
Mr. Bates said lie thought it very likely, as lie understood the
prisoner bad formed a large female acquaintance of no very equi-
vocal description.
Ice wits remanded to Tuesday next. •
This is the young man who, about three years ago, prosecuted
the author of the Hermit in London, and two others, at the
Old Bailey, for an alleged-robbery. He charged them with rob-
bing him of a pocket-book containing 104/., on which charge
they were acquitted.
