"Maws Rantsdeil mow, aged 17, was put to the bar, on an
indictment charging hint with stealing in the dwelling-Iv:ma of
Thomas Denham, two Albums, his property. There were no tes,
than six indictments against the prisoner for similar offences.
The prisoner was fashionably dressed in a blue coat, white trow-
sers, &c.

Mr. Law Opened the case for the prosecution, and detailed the
circumstances under which the robbery was committed. It will be
in the recollection of our readers, that the prisoner, or some other
person, went into the shop of the prosecutor, resident in Regent-
street, on the 26th of May, and agreed for the purchase of two
boas, called in the trade " Albums." The books were sheens to
him, when he requested to look at a purse. This caused the two
daughters to go on the other side of the counter, when the prisoner
took the opportunity and ran off.—The question was, the identity
of the prisonet.
The witnesses in support of the prosecution swore positively to
the identity of the prisoner; to rebut which, several witnesses were
called, not only to speak to character, but to prove an alibi.
Messrs. ANDILMS, BILODIIICIC. and C. P 1111.1.111 defended the
prisoner.
Mr. Justice Boanouten summed up the evidence to the Jury,
who retired, and had not returned s, verdict when oar Paper went
to Press.
