?MACE IiNTEPAGENCE.

OUILDHALL.—(THIB DAY.)
A returned transport, named Thomas Batty, was
placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman John Johnson,
on the charge of stealing a coat from the premises of
Mr. Stirlino- in Fleet-street. By the evidence it ap-
pared that the prisoner had been transported for bur•
glary for 14 years, but had had a portion of his sentence
commuted. After his return he resumed his old practices,
and on Wednesday morning last went into the pro-
secutor's house, where he boldly took a valuable
coat from the hall, and walked off with it. Two
boys saw the whole transaction, and gave informa-
tion to Mr. Stirling, who pursued the prisoner, and,
after a sharp chase, captured him in Fetter-lane.
He was fully committed for trial.
An ill-looking fellow, named William Duchet, was
charged with picking pockets yesterday on Ludgate-
hill. The constable stated that he saw the prisoner
trying the pockets of several gentlemen in the crowd,
and having drawn a handkerchief from the pocket of
one, the individual turned round and seized his hand,
from which he took the handkerchief. The witness
asked him to come to prosecute, but the gentleman
refused to sacrifice so much time at the Old Bailey.
Mr. Alderman JOHNSON said he regretted the per-
son who was robbed did not attend to prosecute, as
from the number of pickpockets now infesting the
streets every exertion was required on the part of the
public and the police.—Committed for 14 days.
A great many other cases °Ca similar nature, which
occurred during the Lord Mayor's procession, were
disposed of by sentencing the culprits to terms of im-
nrisonment varying from a month to seven days. •

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
A young man, named Nicholson, the son of a wine
merchant in the City, was placed at the bar charged
with damaging a cab.
It appeared that the prisoner, when in a state of
intoxication, called a cab last tight in King-street,
Covent-garden, and insisted upon driving himself.
The driver allowed him to do so, and he drOve the cab
against a lamp-post, thereby damaging it to the ex-
tent of 101. The, prisoner was thrown from the box,
and was taken to the station-house in a state of in-
' sensibility.
The prisoner, in his defence, said he recollected no-
thing of the circumstance.
Mr. HALL, said the amount of the damage done to
the cab placed the case out of his jurisdiction; but he
would advise the prisoner to compromise the affair
with the owner of the cab, as, if he did not, the case
might cost him 701. or 80/., as the law would most
