The prisoners seemed to think that they had escaped
with a very light punishment, and they thanked the
Worthy Magistrate for his clemency.
DRUNK AND INCAPABLES.—There were no less than
fourteen charges of this naturebrought before the Court
this morning, nine of which were against women, and
five against men ; two of the women were sentenced to
three days' imprisonment, and one of the men to pay a
fine of 51., their drunkenness having been accompanied
with violence. The others, male and female, were all
discharged, having behaved quietly when in the custody
of the police.

MARLBOROUGH STI3EET.
(THIS DAY.)
Elizabeth Wilson, about sixty years of age, dressed in
widow's mourning, was placed at the bar on the follow-
ing charge :
Elizabeth Grist, a married female, stated that she oc-
cupied the back -room on the second-floor of No. 3,
Marlborough-court, Carnaby-street, Golden-square.
Last evening she left home about six o'clock, leaving her
room door locked, but, on returning in about a quarter
of an hour, she found it had been unlocked, and that the
prisoner was in custody in the house.
Mrs. Anne Rose, a lodger, gave evidence which left
no doubt that the prisoner had opened several doors
in the house with skeleton keys, and was in the act of
carrying otf property.
• Police Constable No. 108 of the C division, who took
the prisoner into custody, produced thirty-one dupli
cates, which he found on her. They related to such
'property as tea-caddies, silk dresses, sheets, &c., &c.,
which no doubt had been plundered. by her from dif-
ferent lodging-houses, by hergaining access to the rooms
with false keys. The property pledged appears to have
been valuable, as most of the duplicates are for the sums
of 305., 155., and 10s.
The MAGISTRATE said, that there was no doubt but the
prisoner had carried on a systematic and extensive course
of robberies of this description, and, with a view to give
time for the discovery of the owners of the property
pledged, he should remand her until this day week.
The prisoner impudently replied, that he might do just
as he liked.

UNION-HALL.—(THIS DAY.)
Louis Ladiri, a Frenchman, was charged with the fol-
lowing extraordinary conduct.
'William Jones, an itinerant vender of razors, stated
that while engaged at his trade in standing in the street,
the defendant rushed towards him, and seizing a razor
from him, began to flourish it about with . the
blade open. He was requested to give it up,
but he refused, and placing himself in a
defensive position, swore that the first who approached
him he would cut his throat. He then set off running.
with the razor still open in his hand, and was pursued
by several persons, when he was at length stopped, the
instrument having fallen from' his hands.
The defendant said that it was all attributable to his
having drank too much Italian wine at the
_London •
docks.—He was held to bail.

A man named M'Right was remanded on a charge of
stealing a quantity of plate, clothes, and other property,
from J. Robinson.

He was taken into custody with some of the stolen
plate in his possession, and when apprehended, several
letters were found upon him, which showed that he be-
longed to a gang of Liverpool thieves ; the writer of oue
of the epistles, in slang phraseology, saying that he had
made his escape from the above city, and got into the
service of the Earl of Shelburne, in Dorsetshire.
