perfumer, sad Mr. Joyce, tobacconlit. The offictrk found in his
lodgings some combs and a bottle of Macassar Oil, bei&ging to Mr.

belongiog.to Mr. Joyce. Mr. Joyce deposed that he missed Bibs.
of snuff, 30 snuff boxes,. 30lbs of agars, I Vbs. of Tonquin beans,
four silverspoons, and other articles. The robber might have got

with a padlock. Mrs. Joyce swore, that on the day previous, the
prisoner, from whose father her husband held the house, asked her
for the key of the padlock to inspect the roof, which she gave him.
On retiring to rest the same night, she 'observed the padlock was on
the bars, but whether locked or not,she could not tell. None of the
glass was broken, so that it was corichicled he ha& left it unlocked.
Mr. Ryan swore that the perfumery found in the prisoner's aPart-
tnent was his, and.that his loss amounted to setto..

Mr. At.i.xr said, there was no burglary, as no lock was broken;
but Sir R. 1111tN/C held that lifting a latch consituted a burglary,
and the prisoner was. fully committed.
THY RAVE or ?HZ FIDDLL—One Peter Burton, a youth whose
bands are little betterthan mere" pickers and stealers," was charged
with stealing from the persOn of a Mr. Louis Litolff, a fiddle and
fiddlestick, and their case—to wit, a gem n baize bag.
Mr. Louis Litolff is a native of Germany, and a dancing-master
by profession, but being blessed with more children than pwpils, he
has been constrained to become, what he termed a peripatetic mu-
sician—in plain terms, he has been reduced to fiddle for his bread in
the public streets. The other night, soon after twelve o'clock, he
was returning home from a fiddling speculation in the City., with
unfortunately more gin in his head than money in his pocket, but still
he was very well able to keep his perpendicular, to hod the nearest
way home, and to know that his fiddle was safe and sound under
his arm. In this way he had walked as far as Somerset House ;
but he had scarcely passed that building when he missed his
fiddle--u and of course, when I missed it," said lie, " I was
conscious it was gone !" So he turned- himself round about to
see if he could see where it was gone, and he saw a young man
running with it towards Catherine-street; and he did not lose
" von single moment" in running after him, crying " shtor thief !
so loud as I could ;" until he was stopped by "some vare Lind
shentilmen at the top of that street, but he bad thrown away the
fiddel, and broke it vare moth ;" and whether the young man at Ow
bar was the thief or not he could not tell, fortheftddel took up all
his attention; besides, he did not wish to hurt theToung man now
he had got his fiddle again, and- had glued it together, so that it
would still do for &vet music.
Unluckily for I'ettr Burton, however, the watchman saw him
running, and saw him throw the fiddle away, and saw him stopped;
and so Peter Burton Was asked what he had to say for himself?—
He replied, that he knew nothing at all about it ; and the Magi*.
.strate committed him for further examination, ist order that Mr.
Litolf might produce the fiddle.
