was charged by his father, Mr. John Wells; an innkeeper at
Loughborough, in -Leicestershire, with robbing hint to the extent
of SOU An exhibition of more hardened delinquency on the
part of the accused, and of paternal anguish on the part of an
aged father, was never witnessed. The father formerly resided
in the Strand, and some- time ago he went to Loughborough,
and commenced business as a tavern-keeper. The prisoner had
pluniered him repeatedly, and absconded to the metropolis, where
he joined a gang of thieves. About a month ago, he committed
a robbery in London, and next day he proceeded to Loughborough,
and obtained the forgiveness of his parent for' his former mis-
doings, upon promising to conduct himself in future with pro-

pounds in cash, and of plate, jewellery, linen, &c. to the amount
of JOU, which he carried to London. The father followed him
to the metropolis, mid applied at this Office for the assistance of
the Police to apprehend hit son, and to' recover the stolen property.
Sir It. Maria committed the prisoner for final examination on
a future day, when he will be removed to Leicester till the next
Assizes. The conduct of the prisoner at the bar was most audaci-
ous, and on being taken away, he swore, that if he had a chip
(knife) he would stick it into his father.

was brought to this office on Saturday night, with his son and
another youth, charged with coining counterfeit sovereigns and

cused were remanded.

Maria Anderson, a girl eight years of age. The parents of the
child supposing the prisoner was a married man, had allowed her

was remanded.

SILK WEAVEI/B.—A turn-out of the silk weavers
in a respectable establishment in Macclesfield, has, we understand,
taken place, for au advance of Wages. One of the partners has,
consequence, been in this town for the purpose of engaging
as it is, their determination to put out their work.

hhmids,
We cannot help feeling surprised that men should be so blind to
their own interest, in such precarious times as these, as they must
be well aware, in the present depressed state of the silk trade, that
the masters cannot possibly afford to give higher wages than they
do at,present ; such conduct must naturally be highly injurious to
to them...Stockport Advertiser.
