IyMANSION-HOUSE.— George Sandersonwas charged
ith stealing a quantity of paper, and . embezzling monies,
he property of his employers, Messrs. John and Henry
preen, grocers, in Gracechurch-street, and John Bewick
as charged with receiving the paper, well knowing it to
have been stolen.
Mr. HOBLER, jun., attended for the prosecution.
The prisoner Sanderson had for a length of time been
Porter to Messrs. Green, but for some time past he had
been suspected of dishonesty. Paper and various other
Articles had, from time to time; been missed, which could
not have been carried away by any other hands than his
own. At length one of the shnpmen took an account of
the paper that was missed, day by day; in consequence, a
watch was set on the prisoner, and the prisoner was de-
tected in taking three shillings which he had received of a
customer for a pound of coffee, also with overcharging the
price of oil which he was intrusted to purchase. At length
Mr. Green accused .him of stealing the paper, which he
confessed immediately, and promised to pay for it. Mr.
Green then asked him where he had disposed of it, saying
it might be better for him if he gave up the receiver: The
prisoner then took the officer to the residence of the other.
Prisoner Bewick. He, upon being questioned, denied any
knowledge of the paper ; but the prisoner Sanderson pointed
out, from amongst a quantity of articles, the identical
paper stolen, and the officer, in consequence, took him into
custody.
The prisoners were fully committed to Newgate for trial.
Bewick is a dealer in marine stores, and was acquitted
only, about two sessions ago on a similar charge. He is a
well-kn Own character.
Upon the LORD MAYOR ordering them to Newgate, the
prisoner Sanderson, with the utmost audacity, asked the
prosecutor to pay him for two days' wages that were due
to him.
Mr. Hobler told him that he thought that he had been
paying himself for a long time pretty handsoinely.
The prisoner, however, still persisted in his claim, when
The Loan MAYOR observed that Mr. Green would be
very much to blame if he did pay him ; certainly it would
he out of pure kindness, for there was no claim upon him.
Mr. Green, however, very kindly paid the fellow his two
days' wages:

A man named liackston was charged with stealing a
hamper, which came to the • Tewer-stairs by the Brockle-
hank steam-packet, belonging to the General Steam Na-
vigation Company.
A man named Randall stated that be was a waterman,
in the service of the Steam Navigation Company, and that
be got the hamper in question front on board the Brockle-
bank steam-packet, and had put ou shore for two other
persons in the service of the Company to take 'it to a pub-
lic-house and leave it there for safety. The prisoner had
formerly been in the employ of the General Steam Naviga-
tion. Company.
The LORD MAYOR—Pray, Sir, is this an incorporated
Cornmy ?—Witness—No, Sir,' I believe not.
The Loan MAI-nu—Then do not talk to me about the
General Steam Navigation Company. Pray, name the
partieA ?--Witnesi--" Why, there is Mr. William John
Hall, and' here the witness stuck fast.

Two men were called, who.clearly proved that the pri-
soner stole the haniper, which was part of the luggage
brought by the- packet, but who it belonged to, or what it
contained, no one knew, as it had never been seen since it
got into the'prisoner's possession.
The LORD MAYOR inquired whether any person attend-
ed for the General Steam Navigation Company,; as it was
called.
The Officer replied not ; and added, that he had seen
Mr. Hall, the managing man of the Company, that_morn-
ing, .and spoke to him on the subject, when Mr. Hall very
coolly replied, " Oh, I shall not trouble myself any further
about the matter."
The Loan MAYOR said, that this appeared to him to
be a very curious mode on the part of the company, in
treating the property intrusted by their customers to their
care, to say that they should not trouble their heads any
more about it.
The prisoner was ultimately remanded until Monday next.
Thos. Ashley, an ill-looking seafaring fellow, was
charged with assaulting Elizabeth Ashley, his mother.
The poor woman stated, that she was a widow, and had
three children to support by washing and sharing; the pri-
soner, who was about 20 years of age, was her eldest son.
She had twice deprived herself of every necessary, and.
even run in debt, to rig him out for sea, but he always
run away from his ship, and then came home to her, and
insisted upon her keeping him. He kicked up the greatest
disturbances in her house, made use of the most horrid
threats and vile language towards her, that she was in fact
afraid of her life ; that morning he had struck 6.... and
The case being confirmed by the testimony of other wit-
nesses, the prisoner was called upon for his defence, when
he coolly, replied, " Oh, I only strikes my_ Juother ; I
strikes nobody else !" And having said this much, he ap-
peared to consider that he had fully answered the charge.
The Loan MAYOR, however, sent him, in default of bail
to Giltspur-street Compter. •
A fellow, named John • Lattimore, was charged with
shameful indecent conduct, at various times within the last
fortnight, towards sundry young ladies, female servants,
&c. in the neighbourhood of Bush-lane, Lawrence-Pount-
ney-lane, Lawrence-Pountney-hill, &c.
The case was substantiated by several male witnesses,
who bad been on the look-out for the prisoner ; and in
order to save the feelings of the females in coming forward
to give evidence, the Lord Mayor inflicted summary punish-
ment, by sending the fellow, under the Vagrant Act, to
the tread-mill for three months.

GUILDHALL.--Morgan Saunders, and Joshua
Lyons, otherwise Marks, were yesterday brought before
Mr. Alderman THOMPSON for final examination, on a charge
of having stolen a gold repeating watch from the person of
General Russell.

The following is the substance of the evidence against
them :—General Russell,-who is far advanced in years and
very infirm, whilst walking in the neighbourhood ,of Man-
chester-square, in the afternoon of Wednesday, the 11th
of July last, suddenly missed his watch, a very valuable
gold repeater. Ile was positive that he had it in his waist-
coat pocket when he left his house a very short time' be-
fore ; and he had no recollection of any person having been
near him, except some Jew boys who had been pester-
ing him to buy some lemons from them. Next day, one
Abraham Cohen, a confectioner in Petticoat-lane, gave
information to some of the city officers, that Morgan
Saunders and Joshua Lyons had got a gold watch out of
an old gentleman's waistcoat pocket, whilst they were out
selling oranges at the West-end of the town, and that they
had sold it for seven sovereigns to a Jew dealer in Petticoat-
lane, named Levy. The officers bad not heard of the rob-
bery at the time; but seeing an advertisement in the news-
papers on the following day, describing the watch and the
manner in which it was supposed to have been stolen, they
forthwith took Morgan Saunders and Joshua Lyons into
custody, and brought them before the Magistrate, where
they were identified by General Russell, as'• having been
among, the Jew boys who were so urgent with him to buy
their lemons. Levy, to whom they were said to have sold
the watch, was also summoned before the Magistrate, and
he attended at their first examination; but as Abraham
Cohen, who gave the information to the officers, was not
then forthcoming, and Levy solemnly 'denied all knowledge
of the transaction, he was alloWed to depart upon his pro-
mise to appear again whenever he might be sent' for.—
Subsequently, Abraham Cohen was brought before the
Magistrate, and confirmed upon oath the information he
had given, and in consequence Levy was again sent for ;
but he took care to keep out of the way, and has since ab,..
sconded from his house. •

Yesterday, for the first time, Abraham Cohen was pub-
licly confronted with the prisonem; and in their presence
repeated on oath that I,lc saw them 'sell a gold watch to
Levy; that be heard them say they had got it out of an
old gentleman's waistcoat pocket at the West-end of the
town; and that he saw them share the seven soyeTeigPs
which Levy gave them for it. •
Morgan Saunders, in his' defepre, contented himself with
saying that he should be able to prove an alibi. His com-'
panion, Joshua 'Lyons, protested his innocence stoutly,
and said Cohen had sworn to get him hanged, because he
(Lyons) was unable to
pay him five shillings which he
owed him.

Mr. Alderman Ttromesorr observed that Cohen's testi-
mony was so well borne out by the circumstances of the
rqhbery, coupled with the fact of Levy having abscond-
ed, that he should feel it his duty to send the case before
a Jury.

' Cohen then applied to the Bench for protectipa. He
said, that in consequence of the infor%athil hc. had given,
he had been hunted from his hcalae an informer and a
" hanginan," and 11,4 lifa had heen repeatedly threatened.

The officers co—n6med his statement. They had seen
him beset by hundreds of Jews and thieves, in Petticoat-
lane, all crying " kill the informer!" " knock him down!"
&c.—so that they had judged it necessary to eecTete him
from their violence.

• The Alderman said he had dc).e himself great credit by
coming forward in the. manner he had done, and he should
be protected.
Measures were then taken for that purpose, and the pri-
soners were committed to Newgate fur trial.
HATTON,GARDEN.—In consequence of the intended
re-examination of John Taylor• and friary Deakin, who

'were remanded on ehargeo of cruelty of the Most horrible
description towards a male infant; the office and adjoining
Streets were crowded during the whole morning; and, as
the hour appointed (twelve o'clock) drew near, the utmost
anxiety was manifested by the assembled multitudes. It
was at length ascertained, that in consequence of the crowds
assembled round the house of Woolf, 27, Brighton-sri•eet,
where the child has since remained, it was. quite impossi-
ble to bring the child to the office. On making inquiries,
it appeared that a strong feeling of resentment was har-
boured by the mob, in consequence of its being reported
that during yesterday afternoon and the whole of this morn-
ing; money had been received to permit persons to view the
child. Whether this report was false or true, we have not
been able to ascertain positively, but several of the windows
were broken in consequence. Further assistance being ob-
tained, about half-past one the emaciated innocent was
brought to the office, when the prisoners were put to the bar,
and the former evidence again repeated. Several fresh
witnesses were in attendance, and various instances of a
similar unnatural description were detailed, which caused
the auditors to shudder with horror. A medical gentle-
man stated that the child was still in a very dangerous state. The prisoners added. nothing to their former attempted
defence ; and after their cruel and unfeeling conduct had
been severely' commented on by Mr. Sergeant Sellon, they
were ordered to stand committed until Tuesday, the
Worthy Magistrate intimating he should not take bail. The
child was sent•to the Infirmary-of St. Giles's workhouse.
The poor child was cleanly and neatly dressed, but did
not appear in the slightest degree improved in health.
Woolf denied solemnly having received money to exhibit
the child. •

MARYLEBONE-OFFICE.As William Greaves,'
Paddington patrol, was walking down the canal side early
yesterday morning, near Westbourn-green, to see if any
boys were robbing the gardens, he observed two men mak-
ing across the •meadows, as if to avoid him; one had a
basket such as carpenters use, and the other a bundle.—
Supposing •them to be thieves, the patrol contrived to in-
tercept them in the, Green-lanes near Mr. Cochrane's
house, and finding a live turkesy in the basket, and unripe
apples in the bundle, of which they gave no satisfactory
account, he took them to the watchhouse and brought
them before Mr. Hosms.
The prisoners gave their names John Francis and
Charles Smith, and said'in their defence they bought the
turkey that morning of a man in a cart near Harrow, who
had many more to sell, together with ducks and geese.—
They came out of Somersetshire, had no place of residence,
and slept the preceding night under a bay-rick.
They were committed for re-examination.

UNION-HALL.—Shortly after M. Swarm-, Esq. the
presiding Magistrate, had yesterday taken his seat,ayoung
man, by name George Ford, habited as a quaker,. was ac-
cused by a. watchman of Blackfriars-road, with being in a
state of intoxication near the Surrey Theatre, at a late
hour the preceding night. •
The watchman proved the fact, and stated, moreover,
that the defendant had represented himself as being engag.l
ed to perform in a piece called " The Bad Child," which,
he said, was about being produced under the management
of Mr. Elliston, at the Surrey Theatre.
George Ford observed in defence, it was seldom, he be-
lieved, that the Magistrate was troubled with charges of
intoxication, or misconduct, against individuals of his
(Ford's) religious profession, and therefore he trusted that
the charge would not now be pressed.
Mr. SWABEY told him that on paying the usual fine of
five shillings to the King for intoxication, he would be
discharged.
The defendant said, that having been in the company of
a friend, who came from Worcester, the night before, .he
spent all his money, and actually had not so much as five
shillings in his pocket.

Then you muvt send and procure the amount of the fine,
remarked the Magistrate, otherwise you will be detained.
The defendant was then removed from the office.
Josefih Harrow, a mere boy (but notwithstanding his
tender age, he has been already punished for felony), was
charged with stealing some brass weights, from Mr.
Swift's surgery, in East-lane, Walworth.

About eleven o'clock yesterday morning, Mr. Swift, who
was seated reading in the surgery, observed the prisoner
glide in and take from the counter something, which tutu—
ed out to be a quantity of brass weights. The prosecutor
immediately followed and seized him; the prisoner tben
threw the property down an area.
He attempted no defence, and was fully committed to
take his trial. •

A young man named Riggs, leho has been some days in
custody, charged on suspicion of stealing a gold chain, and
other articles belonging to Mr., Brunel], jun., was again
remanded, to give an opportunity of producing further
evidence, if it von be obtained, ,tourarda eliminating the
prisoner.
