At the Guildhall a young man, named John Griffin, was
brought before Mr. Alderman Hughes, charged with at-
tempting to steal from the warehouse of Messrs. Deacon, the
carriers, in London-wall, a truss of goods which had arrived
from Norwich, and was lying in the delivery warehouse.
After evidence, Mr. Alderman Hughes said the prisoner had
committed a felony by removing the goods, but he was afraid
a jury might consider it was only an attempt to steal. The
Alderman, therefore,
_committed him to lard labour and
low diet 'for fourteen days. If he committed him for a longer
term he would be better fed, and the punishment would
really be less.
