DOG-STEALING.

Miskr William Green, of Belton-street, Long-acre—commonly
calked " Bill Green, the dog-fancier," was on Friday brought
before Sir Ilacitaan Blame, at Bow-street, Office, charged with
baying stolen a dog belonging to Ft W. Collins, Esq. of Dorset-
place Clapham-road.
The animal, a valuable yard dog, was stolen from its kennel
on Mr. C's premises about seven weeks ago, and a few days
since Captain Leslie, a friend of Mr. C.'s, learned that it war at
the prisoner's house. Mr. C. went thither, accompanied by his
friend. Captain L. and demanded his dog, when the prisoner ad-
mitted that he knew where it was, and asked Mr. C. what he
would give to get it back again? Mr. C. replied that be
would give a guinea ; upon which the prisoner said, "-Why, t
will give you two guineas for him, and pay the bloat down, if
you'll write me a receipt." After some further altercation, Mr.
C. agreed to give two guineas, but declined daring so until the
dog should be delivered up to him. "Oh ! very well," said
Mister Bill Green—" if so be as you can't trust me with two
guineas, screw me tight if you shall have a hair of the tail of
him!" Mr. C. attempted some renthastrance, and, in 144,
Mr. Bill threatened to" punch bit head for him," at the same
time putting himself in a fancy attitude; but Mr. C. had ne
fancy to be punched, and be therefore applied at this Office for
redress.—Mr. Bill Green, in his defence, gave himself a capital
character, and denied that the dog bad ever been in his possession.
Sir Barium) Bra= told him that be knew him toe wail to
believe him.

" Know nee, your Worship !" said Mister Bill, opening hie
eyes to their utmost extent, " I don't know what you can
know use far!"

" Why, I know you," replied the Magistrate, " for the most
incorrigible dototeakr in London—for a scoundrel who keeps
a regular depoe for stolen dogs ; and for one whose depot 1 will
unkennel before long."
Mister Bill-was rather taken aback. He said, if time was
given him, he would try to produce the Gentleman's dog; but
the Gentleman bad offered to fight him for dotsbk or pits, and
he thought that would have been the most gentlemanly way of
settling it.
Mr. C. treated this fighting assertion indignantly, and said
some oftlie prison is gang had threatened to send the dog Mono
with his head in one box and his body in another ; but he hoped
no such atrocity would be resorted to, for he would sooner gift
op aU claim to the poor animal than have it injured.
" Let Mr. Green go to the watch-house for to-night,"• saii
the Magistrate. " The penalty you have incurred by steads/
this dog, Mr. Green, is ..f3o ; but if the animal is delivered bier
by eleven o'clock to-morrow morning, we may be inclined to
let you off more easily." •
Mr. Green took the hint; the dog vfas delivered to its go-
fed owner, and the penalty was remitted.
