WORSII IP-STREET.

Alward Waller, Jos. Dolphin and Esther Mahon, were charged
with having stolen a large quantity of harness from the livery stables
of Mr. Thurston, of Southampton-mews, Euston-square. A mai
named Aiderton, who was an accomplice, was the principal wit-
ness ; he said that the robbery having been decided upon, several
evenings were appoiated for carrying it into effect, but it was as
often delayed. At last, when they had procured a horse and cart
for the conveyance of their plunder, a difficulty arose respecting the
procuring certain instruments for burglary. One person, named
Long Harris, who was to have been concerned in the robbery, did
of attend. to his appointment, and tile
_Actinic prisoner refused to
give up certain crow bars, phosphorus boxes, &c. unless Harris
gave her instructions so to do. At eleven o'clock at night, she
however, gave up these instruments, and the party went to Mr.
Thurston's stables, where they forced open the gates and stole the
harness. They carried it in the cart, which they had provided, to
a building at the back of St. Luke's Church, anirthere they were
discovered by the watchman, sorting the harness. The prisoners
were committed for trial.

MA RLBOROUG 11-STREET.
Wm. P,usn, a young man of respectable appearance, was charged
with embezzlement. The prisoner was in the service of Messrs.
Swann and Edgar, haberdashers, of Regent•street, and was au-
thorised to purchase goods for the firm. When he required cash to
make a purchase, he presented an invoice to the pay clerk, and re-
ceived the money. In this manner he is charged with having ens.
bezzled upwards of .61100, but the only charge on which the prose-
cutors proceeded, was one wherein the prisoner had obtained
fit) 4s. He was remanded for a further examination. _ _

Messrs. Coding and Co. the ale brewers of Broad-street, Golden-
square, appeared before H. M. Dram, Esq. to show cause why they I
refused to refund 30s. to the parish of St. James, which the parish
had paid to a fireman of the WOW of Raspberry, in consequence of
an award made by Mr. Rea.
Mr. Au.sr, who attended on the part of Messrs. eroding, stated,
that he believed that it was a proceeding under the 14th of Geo.
111. commonly called the Building Act, and therefore it required
the proceedings to be done by information, instead of summons;
but as Mr. Godlog wished to try the merits of the ease, he would
waive the objection, which world otherwise be fatal ; but as it was
a common law cue. and which prevented an interested witness
from giving his evidence, he should feel it his duty to examine the
witness before be gave his evidence, to learn if be was interested,
as upon his evidence a conviction must take place.
Whitmore, a patrol, was then called and sworn—He denied an
interest in the prosecution. He then deposed that, upon the 110th
of December, about half-past sir o'clock in the evening, be beheld
a body of flame come oat of ono of Mr. Goding's chimneys, and
which was two yards high.

faction that there was ne firm
