Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE here stopped the case, ob-
serving that the pieces produced evidently did not bear
such a resemblance to the current coin of the realm as
to impose on any of his Majesty's subjects, and therefore,
as the law stood, an acquittal must take place.
The Jury accordingly acquitted the prisoners.

MA RLBOROUG H-STRE ET.

Auttiro Roan:MN—As the magistrates were about to retire,
at a quarter past three yesterday, two chimney-sweeps, named Chas.
Tahoe and James Neale, were placed at the bar, charged with
having stolen a quantity of plate, the property of George Watson
Taylor, Esq. M. P.
It appeared that at about a quarter to four yesterday morning,
two sweeps knocked at the door of the mansion, No. 1, Grafton-
' street, Bond-street, and said they had come to sweep a chimney.
The porter immediately got up and let them in, and having rang
the bell for the servants, returned to his bed. The sweeps went
down stairs, and were heard of no more until it was discovered that
the plate, consisting of six table spoons, nine dessert spoons, eight
forks, two cruets, two salts, one ladle, and other articles, had been
stolen, together with an ivory case of silver mathematical instru-
ments.

Sir 0. Faustarrr asked if the servants got up ?
The poster replied that one did, but went to bed, and did not
come down until half past seven—(This is accounted for by do
porter's not having spoken to the servant, and her thinking it was a
mistake.)
Sir OZOROZ said, it appeared a case of great negligence on the
part of the porter, to let two strangers have the run of the house,
without looking after them.
The porter explained, that no sweeps had been ordered ; and as
to how they had got out he did not know. He was sure they had
never passed him.
Mrs. Dooally, the chimney-sweeper to the family, informed the
Magistrate that she bad not sent the parties, as she had no orders
to that effect, and the chimneys had been swept only last Saturday
morning. The prisoner Neale was in her service, and did not leave
her house yesterday morning till half.past four.
In answer to a question from Sir OEORGE, the porter said he
thought Talbot was one of the men, but he could not undertake to
swear that he was.

Talbot, who had thrown off his sooty habiliments, declared that
he had not worn a sweep's dress since the annual feast, and he never
wore any thing since but what be had on (the costume of a cotter.
mo
Two) witnesses came forward on behalf of Talbot, and swore that
he was in bed at the time of the robbery.
Sir G. FATIMANT said the prisoners must undertake to be forth.
coming if "wanted," and upon this undertaking they were dn.
charged.
This robbery is somewhat similar to one practised upon the Tra.
yellers' Clubhouse a short time since.
