LAMBETH-STREET.

Inn Fri Mists, and /rot mess, mother and daughter, were charged,
the former with committing a robbery in the house of her master,
Mr. Dale, a surgeon,of the Commercial Road, and the latter, with
receiving the stolen property. It appears that Mrs. Dale had, at
'various times, missed several articles of linen, and other household
property; but before any inquiry took place they were invariably
produced. A few days since, a clean table-cloth was wanted, and
Wilkins was desired to bring one from the wardrobe. Some time
elapsed without the table-cloth being brought, and an officer was sent
for, with a view to Investigate the affair. Bless, the mother, was
also taken into Custody, and on searching her and her daughter, up-
wards of sixty duplicates were found, and some were dated so long
since as eight tot nine Months ago. The money advanced on the
face of the duplicates exceeded £BO. From the pawnbroker's state-
ment, it would seem that the goo& `have beets pledged and re-
pledged by the prisoners, as circumstances required.—The priso-
ners were committed for trial
WORSHIP-STREET.
James Wiittiek, the young man who was charged with stealing a
gold watch from the shop of Mr. Blewly, of S suthampton-row, but
with respect to whom the evidence of identity was extremely doubt-
ful, on account of a singular deformity in one hand, WWI brought
up for final examination. Several witnesses were examined, who
stated, that the prisoner was in Reading at the time the alleged rob-
bery was committed ; and as it appeared to the Magistrate that the
prosecutor's witness must have been mistaken, the young man was
discharged, and was informed by the Magistrate that he left the bar
as free from suspicion as if there bad never been .ucl, an imputation
on his character.
