Thomas Soma White was indicted for stealing seven
silver candlesticks, the property of the Marquis of Lens-
down, Earl of Aberdeen, and others, value 401. and
Samatel Soloman for receiving the same, well knowing
them to have been stolen. _

Mr. At.t.ze stated the case. The prisoner White and
another person named Croker, not yet taken, went to
the Travellers Club House on the Slat of January last.
with a boy, for the purpose of sweeping some of the,
chimneys, when the candlesticks in question were stolen.
When they lett the house, the boy was sent home, and
White and Croker went to Solomons, and disposed of
the candlesticks. He should also prove, by evidence,
that, within two hours, Solomons sold them to another
person.
This case having so recently been fully stated in oar
police reports, it is only necessary to observe, that,
after witnesses were examined, the Jury, without the
least hesitation, found White guilty—Death ; and Solo-
mons Guilty of receiving the candlesticks, knowing
them to have been stolen.

of gin, from the premises of Mr. Hearne, of the King's
Arms, Holborn-hill.

ceived a puncheon of gin to forward to Wiltshire. The
next day the puncheon was three quarts deficient, but
does not know whether it had been originally full.
John Bowton deposed, that the prisoner was let in to
the premises at three o'clock in the morning, and soon
after witness saw him at the puncheon. He had a bottle
in his hand witk some gin in it. He said he was sorry for
what he had dote, and hoped witness would not tell. He
offered him half a sovereign not to inform against him.
The prisoner said nothing in his defence, but several
witnes.es gave him a very excellent character.
Verdict—Guilty—recommended to mercy on account
of his previous good character.
