Yesterday two deceit looking lads; who gave their names lessee,
was charged by Mr. Arnold, landlord of the Crown and Sceptre,
Brixton. with having robbed him of a silk handkerchief.
The complainant intimated that be should not have appeared to
Iprosecute the prisoners for the offence with which he charged them
autrl ir not been ea public grounds, owing to the numberless
robberies of a similar description that were committed on the
very spot where be had been robbed. Gangs of juvenile thieves
were constantly lurking about the place he alluded to. by whom
great numbers of people were hustled and robbed. lir. Arnold
then stated that on the preceding evening, as be was passing over
illackfriars-bridge, he felt a band in his coat pocket, and en turn-
ing round sharply, observed one prisoner pass a silk handkerchief '
to the other. He seized both of them at the moment, and found
his silk handkerchief in the possession of the one to hom it had
hem handed.
Mr. CMAMIIIRS, in committing the prisoners for trial. remarked
out the salutary effects die' podshinent, of figuring had on young
thieves t this was precisely the description of cisme that should be
visited with good sound corporal Aagellation, in addition to im-
prisonment. The former punishment bad worked miracles since it
had been carried into operation, as the prisons of Surrey tostilled;
for instead *ISO or 60 juvenile thieves who were generally confined
from session to session, the number now scarcely ever exceeded
half a dozen.

Another young fellow,who said Ms noose was JAMS. was charged
on suspicion with stealing two valuable gold rings. He had offered
the rings that morning at she shop et Messrs. Burlier and Jupps,
pawobtokers, in the Borough, foe a mere stile. The shopman
perceiving the Flogs to be valuable ones, stopped the prisoner, sad
brought him to this Oak&
The prissier gave a most oneathbetory account of the manner
in which Ise came by the rinp. He said, that in the month of
March last. a Gentleman whom he met in Dean-sums, Sabo, in.
vited Wm to Ids house to go on an errand. He accompanied him
krone, when he gave him the two dogs, desiring him is and
pledge them for him. " I took them," said the peisonare" but
when got Into the street, I began to reflect that-it would.beldaa-
scrota to go back again. for it was just the dam when lie pitch.
plasters were about, and I was afraid that,one might be placed
over snlonooth, and so I diem go back, but kept the rings ever;
since, and thought that I might now fairly dispose of them, they;
having bean so long in my possemion." The prisoner,was remanded.

A young woman, named Ass.fswes. was brought et from the
New Prison, where she bad bees detained under the Coroor,r's

Dons, on the other band, had so many bargains about
