BOW-STREST.

afehist Smirkle and William Mesa, two lade, were brought before
G. if. Alsasuil.i., Esq. charged with being reputed thieves, and
*Oh lurking about the avenues of the English Opera House, with
intent to commit felony. •
Not at the breaking up of the Theatre, Avis saw the two pd.
Weer, en the watch for the audience coming out; and knowing
them to be reputed thieves, he took them into custody. He searched
them, and found upon Starkey what must certainly be regarded as
strongly Indicative of his belonging to a certain profestion. This
was a copper medal, upon one side of which was neatly and ac-
curately engraved, a Nam of pistols, a crow-bar, a picklock and
two skeleton-keys, a dark lantern, phosphorus box and matches,
the whole surmounted by the word " sewgate," in large capitals.
On the other side appeared—
" When this you see,
" Remember me,
_ _

" When I am far sway ! " Joint STARKLY."
The pristmer3 bad little to say, and were committed to hard la-
bour In the House of Correttion for two months.

Dsistais 11Vorthy and Acmes APClffthy were charged by Morris,
Leadbitter, and others, under einsilar circumstances with the last
prisoners. The officers swore that they knew the prisoners to be
reputed thieves. who had been tried for felony more than once.
11I'Carthy—It Is true, your Worship, I have been unfor-
tunate in that way some time ago, but does it follow, because a
man's a thief once, that he should always be so? Is there no,
time *hen a man may reform ? It's the way to make one a thief,,
whether or not, to take him up every time be happens to be sena
in the StreCtS.
The onterS said, that there were no symptoms of reform about
Drn4 II , for he was every night In the company of thieves : so that;
the Ealittw's questions, pithy as they were, availed him nothing, and
.be and his companion were sent to the tread-mill for three weeks.
Six other lads, all ut them very young, were committed for vari-
ous periods upon the same charge.
