The parties then retired.
1 James King was charged with robbing his em-

ployers, Means. Abbott and Bradley, solicitors, in
Furnival's Inn, of three 51. Bank of England notes.
It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Abbott,
that the prisoner had entered his service and that of
Mr. Bradley.only a week ago, when they discovered
last Tuesday that the drawer of their conducting
clerk had been broken open, and three 54 notes
stolen from it. Suspicion immediately attached to
the prisoner, from the circumstance of his not
coming to business on Wednesday morning, He
was soon after taken into custody, and this morn-
ing, before he was placed at the bar, he acknow-
ledged to him (Mr: Abbott) that he had stolen the
money, but begged to be fOrgiven,_saying he would
give security for it.
The prisoner was remanded, in order to afford
time to trace the notes.

1114Causland, Mayes, and Cleaveland, the three
men who were charged on suspicion of having stolen
property to a considerable amount from the cham-
bers of Mr. Gough and Mr. Lawrence, situate at
No. 2, Lincoln's-Inn-fields, were brought forward
for a re-examination.

The evidence taken on Tuesday was again read
over, and Fagan the officer having been asked if he
had any additional proof to advance against the pri-
soners, replied in the negative. A pair of gloves,
however, which he found upon the person of Mayes,
were identified by Mr. Gough as a pair whclt he
had given the week before to the prisoner M'Caus-
land, who was then in his service.
Sir R. BIRNIE observed that that fact proved a
connexion between the two prisoners.
A medical gentleman, residing in Blackmore-
street, Clare-market, came forward and said he was
prepared to prove an alibi on behalf of the young
man at the bar, William Cleaveland, who was his
servant. He believed him to be wholly innocent of
any participation in the robbery. He was at his
house from seven until nine o'clock on Sunday night,
and after that hour, his time up to eleven o'clock,
would be accounted for by other witneisses.
The facts stated having been satisfactorily proved,
Sir R. BIRNIE immediately ordered the lad Cleave-
land to be discharged, and told him that he left the
office without the slightest blemish on his character.
The lad, on leaving the bar, was so much affected
at his situation, that he burst into tears. •
The prisoner Mayes, against whom there was no
direct evidence to connect him with the robbery,
was ordered to be 'detained, he being a well-known
thief; and M'Causland, against whom the case is
fully established, was fully committed to prison.
