IIARYLEBONE.

Patrick and Mary Shanakan were brought up be-
fore Mr. Rawlinson, on the following charge :
• James-Selwyn, .shopman to Mr. Mills, pawnbroker,
Hampsteadroad, stated that between twelve and one
yesterday afternoon, the female prisoner came to his
employers with a silver spoon to pledge. Seeing a
name upon it, he asked her how. she came by it, and
she answered that it was given her.. While he turned
round to communicate with his master she was gone,
but was discovered some hours afterwards and given
into custody. 'The male prisoner pledged a ring some
weeks ago, but, after suspicions having arisen, he was
given into custody also.
William Collins, waiter at Long's Hotel, remem-
bers some repairs going on in the Hotel some time
ago, and he believes the male prisoner was engaged
as a labourer there. Remembers the ring being lost
by a gentleman. Thinks it the same ring. The
spoon is one of a set, a good number of which were
lost at the same time.

The female in defence stated that she got the
spoon from the male prisoner, who had said he found it.
The prisoner said he found the spoon in Holborn,
near St. Giles', and the ring he " picked up" in Tot-
tenham-court-road.

The Magistrate remanded both till Monday, for
'urther examination.

Yesterday, William Dew was brought up before
Mr. Rawlinson, charged with having stolen a quantity
of plate, the property of Frederick William Eugene
13arandon, Esq., in whose house he was footman.
Mr. Barandon said, he was a merchant in the City,
and resided at 5, Carlton-villas, Edgeware-road, and
had only returned from a two months' visit to the
Continent on Wednesday last, and gave his plate into
the care of the prisoner. I] missed him the follow-
ing morning about 8 o'clock, and looking into his plate
chest, he found he had taken with him the articles since
recovered.

John Robert Drey, shopman to Mr. Loveday,
pawnbroker, St. Albaa's-place, produced twelve
dessert forks, and eight tea-spoons, pledged with him
on the 15th inst. for 3/. 10s. Prisoner told him he
was going some distance into the country, and wanted
51. for them. Asked him if the plate was his own,
and " all right ;" he said, it was.
Mr. RAWLINSON—Did you not observe the initials
upon the plate ? Witness—Yes ; I saw that they did
not agree with the name given me, but I thought no-
thing of it.
Mr. RawmvsoN—l have nothing more to say; the
Judge at the Old Bailey will possibly have something
to say to you.
Mr. Chilcott, a pawnbroker, was also examined ;
suspecting all was not right when the prisoner came
to pledge some plate, he gave him into custody.
The stolen plate (the whole of which has been re-
covered) was here produced and identified by the pro-
secutor, as was also a great-coat belonging to a gen-
tleman, living at present with him, and which was also

stolen at the same time.
The prisoner, who ad mit ted his guilt, was committed
to Newgate for trial. •

THE REGISTRATIONS.
CITY OF LONDON.

Thomas Young nehristie, Esq., the Barrister ap-
pointed by Lord Chief Justice Denman, to revise the
list of voters for the City of London, held his Court
at eleven o'clock yesterday morning, in the room of
the Court of Common Pleas, GUildhali.
The following is a statement of the position of the
contending parties :
The Livery lists have not been entered upon by the
Reformers this year, in consequence of the great ex-
pense always incurred in effecting the service of the
notices of objection.. The Tories seem to have been
deterred by the same, or some equally cogent reason,
as they have made only 170 objections and 18 claims.
In the householders list the total number of claims
is 229, of which 121 have sought the support of the
Reformers. - The total number of objections is 623.
of which 155 are made by the Reformers. The To-
ries state their objectiOns to amount to 518 ; which
shows that there are 50 to whom both parties object.
The influence of this revision must be very slight
upon a register of upwards of 20,000 names ; but the
Reformers may congratulate themselves upon a very
large increase of registered Liberal electors as the re-
sult of their efforts last year, when numerous claims
were made in almost every parish throughout the
City, which have this year been inserted in the lists
by the overseers.
Mr. Alansey appeared on behalf of the Reformers,
and Mr. parr for the Conservatives.
The REVISING BARRISTER announced his intention
of first proceeding with the lists of the Liverymen, and
afterwards taking the lists of the parishes in their
alphabetical order.
The remainder of the day was occupied in receiving
the lists from the various overseers.
