and unfounded, and therefore did ni,,tl fully and
honourably acquit the faid Captain Z ichary Mudge

called t. an account for it, difclofed the following
ci•camilances to him :—He Paid he had been pre-
vailed upon by a bay of the name of Sterry, to enrol
himfelf among the gang of pickpockets, of which
he (Sterry) ry ) was Captain. He was introduced to a
great number of boys and young girls, of neatly his
own age ; that Sterry formed them into cnmpaniei,
and allotted to each the ground they were to occupy
At the different fairs ; that they had attended Cam-
he. well, Peckham, Greenwich, and indeed all the
fairs round London, where they (tole watches, hand-

under the fuperintendance of their Captain, Sterry.
He nifpofed of them to Perfect, who lopplied them
with money in return. Wherever Oleic juvenile de-
predatrTs made their appearance, Perk& was there
alio. He kept a fmall booth, in which he fold far-

Sterry's refidence was in a hole in the roof of the
fliambles in Fleet market, where he conllently• flew.
On Monday evening, the mailer of the boy informed
Mr. Nalder, the Marfhal, of the affair, who dif•
patched cunflables in fearer of the Captain, wham
they apprehended, and afterwards feven more GI" the

of his booth. The boy who gave the information
laid he knew twelve boys who had (Nen handker-
chiefs. and that :'erfeft had received them all. The
Magiftrate committed Perfeft and Sterry to the Poul-
try Compter, to be confined feparately, and the
boy r, who are miferable looking objects, to Bridewell,
till their parents come forward ; in the mean time
every exertion is to be made to find out the owners
