A middle-aged man, named Amu, was charged with stealing,
and Aaron Moser, a German Jew, who keeps a general dealing shop
iQ Theraikum's-tourt, Strand, with receiving, knowing them to be
stolen, certain articles of cutlery, the property of Mr. Weiss, the
surgical instrument-maker' in the Strand. Kenos was formerly
known to Mr. Weiss, as a Consul on the Continent some years ago,
buriateeting Idea in Lendon,in a state of beggary, Mr. Weil. kindly
`litho into his employ at cenlary of a guinea a week, with a
moot in the factory. Mr., Weiss had diacovered he was - being
dagg plundered, but never had any suspicion of the prisonti till a
lilc. Halton brought in some rtzor of Mr. Weisa's manufactuile,
whit )sad been offered to him for sale, by Moser, and which he
.btooght-to knot if he aught Putchase them fairly. On seeing Mr.
Mine* enter the Atop with the Ators in his hand, the prisoner
stepped hastily up to him, Anglia an inoseelly earnest manner asked
what he wanted ? Ste. Mr. W. identified the razors, had the pri-
soner's room searched (in which duplicates fur an instrument-case
and some new knives, Mr. W.'S property, were found), and had
Moser apprehended on his calling to make his bargain with Mr.
• Unman: Upon this discovery the °Seer took Kerns kite custody,
and he and Aaron Moser were brought before Sir R. Marna on
Monday night.
The foregoing cireurnstances hating been related to the Magis-
trate, Mr. Kerns declared soletndly, on his honour, that he never
robbed Mr. Weiss of anything whatever, and that he knew nothing
'of his fellow-prisoner Aaron Moser, nor had he ever seen him
until that he saw hito at the bar.

Aaron Moser, too, diSclaltned all knowledge of Mr. Kerns ; and
he declared that he bought all the things in the fair way of trade.
'Pon my honour and conscience, S.lte," said he, " I do every
thing what honesht, and nothing at all else, so help me Got!"Cat!"-
The Magistrate asked him tvhere he bought the Alter lancet-case ?
" It irk de dine -bat," replied Aaron ; " why den, so help me!
I bought de shnut-box of de than what Wean de Crape upon his hat
—a vary reshpectable looking man in de sktreet--there now!"
And what did you give him for it r. said his Worship.
Wht then, Sve-and.tweitty shillings—there now !—no more
heir no less-6so help me r
" Did you weigh it, or buy it in the lump?"
" 0 weigh it !—I always weigh de silver . '
" And Now much an ounce did you give him fur it ?"
" Four shilling and slipehce—l alwaysh give toot price for
the silver."

And bow many ounces were there?"
46 Why den, der wash jushc Suet ounces, Sire, upon my con.
sciencc—there now !

" Well, but thtee ounces, at four and sixpence an ounce, doesnot
Conte to IWe-find-Meaty *Militia."
" No, Saxe," said cunning little Aaron, 'marks up his sharp
thin visage into a intile ; " but I paid -kiln the All weight—mote
as what was true !'
" Aye," 'rejoined his Worship, " I dare say you are a very
honest Min, according to pottnntide of honesty ;lint I must Make
some inquiry into this biwineas."
" 1 be bonesist," saM Aaron, in slaw of undertoned sidiplay ;
" I be honesht—astoneslit as any man what isever so big !'
Eventually Mr. Weiss etpressea great reluctance to prosecute
Mr. Kern.. He said the initrument case found in bis possession
had been given to him to get repaired; and he could not take upon
himself to swear that the other things had not been sold in his gap.
At all events,he wished to Mahe Mr. erns a witness against
Aaron, the Jew, Who had cogently, by some means of other, ob-
tained much proptny Which had bean stolen from Atm to mete-
body. But the Magistrate was of opinion that a twasiderhtle
de-
gree of suspicion attached to Mr. Kern,; and therefore he ought to
be detained untilftrther inquiry calla be made.
They were then both conunitted 'for 'further examination cm
Thursday next.
