containing bills of exchange, amounting to £2OO. lAA

which were e number of bills of exchange. lie lodged him ha
Covent-garden watch-house. On the following morning be ww
brought before the Magistrate, when he said the pocket hook
was given to him, and he did not know what it contained.
Under these circumstances, he was committed to prison unit
the owner of the property coteld be found. Saturday he was
again brought up, when Mr. Mattocks claimed the property. it
appeared by his evidence, that he took his son and daughter to
the English Opera on Thursday night, the book be placed is ew

it, and found the bottom of 'the inside pocket cut tangle*
open ; and, on putting his hand into his breeches pocket, he fated
it empty, and he and his family were obliged to return home for
want of funds to grin admission to the Theatre. Ile perfect',
recollected having been rudely pushed against by some name
without any apparent motive, and he was firmly coo vinced the
prisoner was that man. Saunders, another patrol, pronootted
him to be the leader of the nose and Crown gang, in Bunke:
row. Prisoner, in return, told Saundtre he was a scoundrett
and, having nothing further to say, he was fully committed.

brought before the Magistrates on Friday morning, were three
of that description of aiiaails commonly called " Lobby I.totagete

say, half sharp and half, flat—half a bottle and half price-Ate
bully and half boor—in plain terms, idle young men, with empty
heads and full stomachs, who in all the magnificence of a frill
pint of Cape, strut into a Theatre at half-price,. and manifest
their gentility by swaggering from hot to box, el--; the bor.
keepers, and annoying the sensible part of the audience as muck
as they dare. Our three pri-oners—or " watch-house birds,"
the Charlie: call them, were evidently beings of this earte.-,,
their adventures would seem to signify. They strutted intone
box department of the English Opera House .on the preceding
night at half-price, and koff-seos-over—whether with Cape, black.
strap, or blue ruin, did not appear. Two of them were paiti.
cul.rly hallseas-over, viz. Mr. Bob and Mr. Will W--1
the other, Mr. Fred H—.--, was but so so.
They first addressed themselves to the dress circle, where Mt.
Bob 1)—: a slight made, half-grown, flaxen-haired youth
instead of waiting for the box-keeper to open the door of thebot
in which he wished to make his debut, set about kicking it with
all his might. What Gentleman of spirit would waste his breath
in bawling for a box-keeper, when his own foot, well appliedu
the door, must inevitably compel " the :poetry:" within to ape
it ?—and so it turned out : some of the quiet ones within—ken
log such a magnificent thundering, did open it ; and Mr. Ha
D--- was just settling himself to make his entree, room or as
room, when one of the box-keepers came up and assured him*
box was fuR, at the same time endeavouring to close the doe
again. " What d'ye mean by that, ye named I" cried Mr. be
D—, " is that the way to treat a gentlemen ?" " Sir," said the
box-keeper, " I meant no offence, and if you will,walk this way,
I will endeavour to find you seats up stairs." " Up stairs be
d—d !" said Mr. Bob "I shall gee in here, come whir case
may, as old What's his name says—so come along, Willy W—!
—Hiccup."
Both Willy W— and Bobby 1) now attempted to fern
themselves into- the box ; the box-keeper and the company width
exerted themselves to keep them out; the mutable- of the
Theatre arrived at the scene of action, and, what with persuasion
and a shew of his authority, he prevailed upon Mr. Bob and his
friend to relinquish their attempt upon that particular box. But
Mr. Constable had scarcely let them go, when the hubbub was
renewed, and turning back, he found they had got the box-keeper
up in a corner, and were trying, as he said, " to squeeze their
money out of him"—for they had made up their minds to slid
to the dress circle ; and, since there W 29 no room for titan h
the said dress-circle, they insisted upon having their half-crown
back again—" so, ork oat the blurt, you little rascal !" Thee

Will W—, half strangled, and sadly damaged in his mind,
