floutianterraa-The house of Mr. Munroe, boot and
Shoe-maker, in St. Martin's cherch-yard, has been
twice robbed lately, of boots and shoes to a consi-
getable amount. Mance and Ra Limbrick, belong-
tpg to this Office, received private inharmation respec-
ting the 'robbery, and in consequence apprehended J.
4 Bull ; on him they found a duplicate of Lamb, the
pawnbroker, in Stanhope-street, Clare Market, for a
' single boot. The pawnbroker denied receiving it
from BUB ; but said he took it in pledge from one 1
Collins, who had but one leg, which was the cause ,
lof their taking a single boot. Collins was in conae- '
ktaehre apprehended, and he proved that he had pur-
chased it of Bull for 6s. The officers further learn-
' ing, that W. M,Donald was concerned in this and
other robberies, they laid in wait for him, in a public i
house in Little Catherine-street, where •M'Donald
came in-; but as soon as he saw Mance he ran down
Catherineaatreet with the greatest swiftness. Several
petsons endeavoured to stop him but in vain ;—and
, when begot to the entrance of Exeter Change, a man ,
taelonging to Polito's Exhibition endeavoured to se-'
k tire him ; lent he knocked him down, and passed on
into the Exchange, where the crowd collected was so
great, that he was actually prevented from moving, 1
' :end in the mean time Mance and Limbrick came up, 1
'hen be made a desperate resistance, and was some
tin* before he was secured. On searching him a
new centre-bits with two sharp angles, so highlysem-
Feted as to be capable of making an aperture large
enough for a man's arm to pass through, was found
,on }um. On being taken into the strong room, in the
Brown Bear public house, where Bull was confined,
he knocked him down, and beat and ill-treated him
In a violent manner, swearing it was h e who had
given information against him, and conducted him-
Neff in such an outrageous style, that he was obliged
to be double ironed and band-cuffed. On searching
the lodgings of a woman in Little Catherine-street,
With whom he cohabited, part of the property stolen
from Mr. Monroe was found, as also a number of
implements used in house-breaking. Yesterday they
Underwent an examination before Mr. NAREs and
i Mr. Blame, when Collins was admitted an evidence.
Mr. Monroe identified the boots found at the pawn-
broker's and in M'Donald's lodgings, and they were
1 fully committed. On M'Donald leaving the Office,
he d—d the Magistrates, atid said they could not
hurt him.
Sarah Baler was charged with stealing Bank-notes
to the amount of £l3, and other considerable pro-
* perty, belonging to Mr. T. Masson, of Great Port-
! land-street. The prisoner lived servant with the pro-
; secUtor, and having. given warning to quit, but set
off on Sunday morning early, without her master or
mistress's knowledge, and it was discovered that she
had broke open several locks, and had stolen the
abode property. She was pursued and taken, when
she confessed the charge, and said she had purchased
clothes of a Woman in Monmouth-street, to the amount
of £4, for which she had given one of the notes, which
there is no doubt was a £lO Banknote, but which
the woman, on being sent for, said was only for £5,
although she confessed she •could not read. The
prosecutor was positive that a £lO note had been
stolen. The prisoner was committed for trial.
. A man was committed for trial who was stopped a
few mornings since, early, with a large quantity of
canvass, by one of the pathole, belonging to the office
in the City-road. Wm. Wiltshire, the bailiff of ED-
MUND GREY, Esq. of Hornsey, attended, and Wend-
fled it to be his master's property.
GUILDIIALL.-I,—YesrerdAy Elizabeth Burgess, the
mistress of a ParQ Charity School, was summoned
to appear before the Magistrate, on a charge of in-
flicting improper chastisement on one of her scholars,
a young girl named Margaret. The mother of the
girl stated, that Mrs. Burgess was uncommonly cruel
tothe girls under her-tuition, and that she had not only
beat her daughter about the arms and shoulders, so
'as to leave strong marks, but that she had snuck her
in the eye with a cane; the girl at tie same time ex-
hibited a black eye. The Scilool•Mistress said in her
- defence, that the blow in the eye had,been given by
accident, and that she had been obliged to treat the
girl with severity, she being of a disobedient disposi-
tion, in order to preserve subordination in the school.
The Alderman referred the complaint to the Com-
mittee for managing the school.
HATTaN-GARDEN.—Yesterday Mary Conner, and
her daughter 12 years of age, was charged with hav-
ing in their possession a quantity of base cois, repre-
senting dollars, shillings, and sixpences ; as also•a
quantity of stuff for colouring base money, and- se-
veral pieces of base coin in an unfinished state: the .
i. another was convicted in the penalty of £2 for each
dollar, and they were remanded to be brought up
again, on different charges, fur uttering of counter-
feit coin.
Several boys, apprehended en Sunday for gambling
in the fields, underwent examination, when the pa.
i, eente of most of them promising to prevent a repeti-
tion of the offence, they were discharged ; the others
were committed to the Flouse of Correction.
'. • MARLBOROUGH-STREET.--A person named John
Illaptaiov was, yesterday, charged before the Sitting
Magistrate by a person of the name of Fare, a mas-
ter tailor, under the following circumstances :—On
Saturday se'anight Mr. Fare lost, or had his pocket
picked, of two Bank-notes, one for £4O, and the other
for £lO, and on the Monday following the st4o note
was passed to a Mi. Peacock, a woollen-draper, in
purchase of throe yards of woollen cloth. The pri-1
stoner, at the time of passing the note, gave his real
name, but gave a false addition, representing himself
' to live in Norfolk-street, whereas he resided in Cleve-
land-street. The note was stopped at the Bank, the
prosecutor having advertised it, and lodged a caveat
there • and the prisoner was traced to his real place
of abode, being at no great distance from Norfolk.
street, where he represented himself as living. The
Magistrates, however, ordered the prisoner to stand
fully committed for trial.

in doing so, deprived a new-born Wain of life, be-
