The supply of Sheep was unusually small; hcnce the Mutton
trade ruled active, and the quotations improved 2d per 811,
the primest Old Downs selling rea,lily at 5s 2d per slb. The
general quality of the Sheep was good. There were very
few Calves on offer, vet the Veal trade was by no means ac-
tive, though 'prices were well supported. The Pork trade
was again steady, at full rates of currency. The number of
Pigs on sale was small.

Pemberton and George Dickenson, young men, were
;Ones, with robbing their employer, Mr. George William
of No. 101, Oxford-street, furrier, under the following
;Itelnstances. The prosecntor had the prisoners, and other
jug
,l men, in his service as porters. On Saturday morn-
the 5/. in gold and silver were missed from a desk in the
at°P, to which the prisoners and the other porters had access
pia an early hour in the morning to set the
th et in order. On the discovery of the robbery
14e. prisoners were taxed with being concerned
itt:t. They denied it, but in the course of the day the pri-
ta 1r Dickenson made a confession to the prosecutor of his
,),J'ng seen Pemberton take something from out of the desk,
I: that Pemberton had afterwards admitted to him that he
to taken 30s. The prosecutor accompanied Dickenson
41 '4B lodgings, No. 16, Welbeck-mews, Welbeck-street,
aharylebone and found in the possession of his wife, a boa of

VII% MALTBY asked the prisoner Pemberton what he had
P' in answer to the charge against him ?
Pemberton said he knew nothing about the prosecutor's
Or the boa.
arkhekenson—Yes you do. You made a present to my wife
aft, and she has worn it ever since. I told you during the
41 that the 5/. was missing, that I felt certain you had
'Nell it, and you then said you had only taken 30s.
Let'un prosecutor said he was certain between 5/. and 61. had
n taken from the desk.
14pr. MALTBY said there was not sufficient evidence to de-
it: Pemberton but as the stolen boa was found in the pus-
tn of Dickinson, and he did not account for it, but
bt'lY asserted that it had been given to him by Pemberton,
Pembertonwas accordingly discharged.
