Several other pawnbrokers produced plate, but could not po-
sitively identify either of the prisoners. Some of the plate was
pledged in the name of Drake.
John Taylor, a Bow-street patrol, about a fortnight ago, hap-
pened to be in a public-house where% I\l‘Carthy was drinking,
and talking very loudly about Lady I)asliwood, with whom he
said he had lived, but had left her becausi he could not get his
wages. Taylor subsequentl7 heard that Lady Dashwood had
been robbed to a very considerable amount, by a servant who
I?ft her; and he ininredi..tely commenced an active search for
)I‘Carthy, in the neizhbourhood of Lisson-green, Paddington,
where he had first seen him, hut could Lot catch him until Sun-
day morning, about two o'clock, when, passing through a mews
in Limon-street. he heard a loud snoring in a hackney coach.
The officer opened the door, and there found the prisoner
Al‘Carthy, half-naked, and fast asleep. He took him to the
watch-house, where he searched bins, and between the upper and
under soles of his shoes, lie found a great number of duplicates
far plate. The prisoner seemed reduced to extreme poverty
and despair; for he had no shirt, his clothes were tattered and
dirty, and he said he cared nut what became of himself. He
said also that the prisoner Darby had more duplicates, and de-
-scribed him as living in a court near St. Giles's. Taylor went
there, and found Darby's mother, with whom he left a message,
that " Wearthy had got into the watch-house for a bit of a row,
and wanted to see him." Yesterday morning Darby called, and
was detained by Sellers, the. keeper of the watch-house, who
found many duplicates for plate upon him. Wearthy after-
wards said lie had destroyed some duplicates, and expressed a
strong desire to see Mr. Williams, who lived in Lady Dashwood's
family, as-he had something of importance to communicate.
Sir R. litasetz—" Lady Dashwood, I must, as a mere matter
of form, ask you this question :—Did you ever authorize this
man (Wearthy) to pomp plate belonging to you ?"
Lady Dashwood—" I did once." Her Ladyship, however,
explained, that she had once desired M'Carthy to pawn a dozen
of table spoons, but they were redeemed in a very short time.
This was more than twelve months ago.
Wearthy, when called upon, said he had-nothing to offer in
his defence. He seemed overwhelmed with despair, and during
some part of the examination appeared scarcely able to support
himself.

The prisoners were remanded for further examination onThurs-
day next.
Mu MCarilly was next put to the bar by Taunton, one of the
principal ()Seers, ch.rged with stealhig £l6O in Bank notes the
property of his master, Herschel, Esq. (son of the late Sir
W. Herschel), of Slough.
He was remanded on this charge till Thursday.

behind him, and snatched his cap off his head, and on turning
round tie saw the prisoner running off with it.
The prisoner, who is only eleven years of age, made so able a
defence, as to surprise all who beard him.
Sir 1). Wicussis said the unfortunate boy's mental abilities
were moot extraordinary, and that, if he was taken into proper
hands. even now he might be rendered an ornament to society.
His present situation might be the means of rescuing him from
destruction. He was fully committed far trial.
