MA RLBOROUG/I-STREET.

Jaynes Flattery, a valet in the service of the Honourable Lieute-
nant-Colonel Hutchinson, was yesterday brought to this office,
charged with robbing his master of various articles of valuable pro-
perty ; and Letitia Waglit was charged with receiving the same,
knowing them t• be stolen.
Colonel Hutchinson, who resides with his uncle, Lord Hutchin-
son, at his house in Bulstrode-street, stated, that having occasion to
visit the Continent a short time ago, he left the prisoner (Flattery),
who has been some time in his service, in charge of his trunks,
desk, &c. at Lord Hutchinson's; and on his return, a few days
ago, he found that the prisoner had gone away, and that his desk
and of his trunks had been forced open, and the principal part
of their contents carried off.
Clements, one of the officers of this establishment, stated, that
in consequence of information he received, he apprehended the pri-
soner (Flattery) that morning at Lord Hutchinson's house, he
having gone to visit one of the servants there, not knowing that
the Colonel had returned. On searching the prisoner, he found in
his pocket the gold snuff-box now produced, and which the pri-
soner acknowledged having taken ; but denied all knowledge of the
other property. The officer, however, ascertained that he lived
with some woman, and traced out the female prisoner as tb.tt per-
son; and, on going to her lodgings, in North-street, he told her
that he was sent by Flattery for such and such articles, naming
them, and she immediately handed him all the property now pro-
duced ; and he took her into custody. This property consisted of
shirts, neckcloths, stockings, a number of valuable rings, gold seals,
chains, brooches, site. &c. the whole of which Colonel Hutchinson
identified as his property ; indeed, the shirts had his name marked
on them ; hut the Colonel said, that, independent of this mark, he
should instantly know them by the cut of the collars, they having
been made and shaped in a peculiar way for him, at the Cape of
Good Hope. One of the seals produced, Colonel Hutchinson said
was made a present to him by one of the sisters of Bonaparte.—
The gold snuff-box was of the most curious and beautiful work-
manship, made in Paris.
The prisoner Flattery said, that be did not deny taking the snuff-,
box, but that was all of the property he knew anything about, and
disclaimed ever having broken open the Colonel's trunks.
The female prisoner said, that Flattery brought the property
found with her to her lodgings, in a bundle, and told her to take
care of it, but she had no knowledge either of what the bundle con-
tained, or that it was stolen.

Mr. Costar; tke Magistrate, said, that if that was the case, sbe
was the least curious of any woman he ever knew.
Both prisoners were remanded, to have search made for some
more of the missing property.

QUEEN-SQUARE.

CMITSOBI3O PARNIBROIMILS...—TWO women having complained to
the Magistrates of the conduct of Messrs. Graham and Stocks, pawn-
brokers, of Tothill-street, Westminster, the latter partner attended
at this office yesterday, at the request of the sitting Magistrate.
One of the women stated, that on Thursday night they were com-
ing down the colonnade after the Opera was over, when she kicked
something with her foot, and on picking it up she found it was a
bracelet. Friday morning,being iu want of some money, she pledged
it at the shop of Graham and Stocks for 10a. Monday monting
their shopman called at her lodgings and o(ered her ss. for the du.
plicate; she refused that sum, and he then aired her 10s. she still
refused to sell it, adding that perhaps the bracelet might be adver-
tised, and if so, she would redeem it and restore it to the owner...-.
She had, at the time of pledging it, no idea of its value, but from
the shopman's earnestness to obtain the duplicate, she supposed it
was worth a much larger sum. The shopman then went away.
Mr. Stocks, one of his employers, then made his appearance, with
a constable, and demanded the duplicate, saying that the bracelet
was advertised. She refused to deliver the duplicate to Mr. Stocks,
but intrusted it to the care of the constable. She then examined the
newspapers, and found the bracelet advertised, and a reward of two
guineas offered ; the address of the advertisement was 171, Tkca•
dilly, whither she went, and was from thence referred to the owner,
Lord Montford, Cadogan-plate, to whom she related these facts.

Lord Mantrordg wriwattetsded dds inquiry; said that 11r. St,„;,
brought him the bracelet, and received the reward, as well as
les. for which it'avas pledged.
..Mr. Stocks, in his defence. merety said It was customary for
pawnbrokers to receive rewards for articles pledged with them.
Mr. Wines expressed his indignation at Mr. Stocks' cond
and observed, that be had no claim whatever to the reward,for the
owner of the duplicate was, for the time, the owner of the property
Mr. %Clara observed, with much warmth, that he regretted t.,
under the necessity of again publicly. telling Mr. Stocks, that
was the worst conducted house in Westminster, and if he had the
case in hand (it being hlr.G antoosues day), he would convict in ti,e
penalty of 101. at once.
Mr. Gasommul—(To Mr. S.)—Have you received the reward
Mr. Stocks—Yes, Sir.
Mr. Gamoottra—Then instantly refund it. (The money
produced.) Woman, take it up ; the reward is yours; and tak• th.t
ticket again ; and if-the pawnbroker does not r estore the r0pt.t....-
pledged by you, upon producing the ticket, you can lay an inforell.
tion against him for its recovery.
The girl took the reward and the duplicate, and was about
the office, when Lot d Montford desired her not to go, as he off,l„,t
to converse with her. His Lordship added, that there was a
of plunder which ought to be checked, and he was determined
case should be prosecuted farther.
ills Lordship then held a long conversation with the girl, re:a.
tire to proceeding against the pawnbroker.
