Apetwodthat hese= the prisoner niter the yard on Saturday. the 3d
of October, a few minutes before three o'clock and go to the
place where the single chests are deposited; witness asked him for
a permit, which he. produced-; It was taken one in the name of
Forster; supposing that all was correct,ise took no further notice,
but made the entry in his hook.
Mr. Forster, who Is a . grocerin Tooley-street, proved that be
bad sent an order to Mr. Watkins, the tea broker, oo the >ed of Oc-
tober, to .clear a chest of Slack tea for him, and that he did dot
know thesprisoner, nor had he ever m '
en him before when Mr.
Watkins sent for the toy= the Sd ***found it had been taken away.
The Loan Marco asked how permits were obtained kir the te-
amed of goods from the Company's.storos? . ,
Mr. Watkins said that on purchasing the tea, a paper called the
request paper was sintdown to the yard, and leftin the bus; which
was midi, accessible to persons in the yard. Any person who got
"posiesslon of the request paper, could immediately get a permit, on
presenting it at the pepper Mike. • Such was the course in the
Femme instsuce. The prisoner, who was known to the Company's
'dicers, possessed himself of the request paper, took out the permit,
and carried off the 'chest of tea on his knot.
--The locker, the potter, and other persons employed about the
yard,identilled the prisoner as the person who carried away the
chest of tea on the 3d of October.
The prisoner was committed, and.the parties were bound over

or two, when he considered the omplations which were. held out
•to them se the 'corner of every street, to indulge in their unfor-
tunate propensity for drink. The cheer tate at which
stuff called gin could be obtained, was unquestionably the cause of
the increase d the crime of intelication among the fewer classes,
and the demoralizing influence produced by the habit thus ettoti-
raged was becoming every day more and more apparent. If the
Legislature did not interfere, and that speedily, to effect an altera-
tion in the system, it was impossible to say what woo's' become.of
the community ; be really trembled for the consequences. Every
inlity pale-hood was now being converted into a flashy gin shop,

public-disuse had been taken down and a plate had been erected in
its stead which was more like a palace than a gin-shop. He, how-
-emelt= one, was determined most decidedly to set his face against
the increase of gin-shops, and the subject would most probably form
matter for serious deliberation with The Magistrates at the next
annual licensing day.—The women were sent to prison.
Ford, bead-gaoler of this OSce. stated to Mr. Hotta, that in
adsequence of information which he had obtained from Sandford
(who Is under sentence of death in Newgate, with a man named
Lavelle, for a burglary, committed by drat on the premises of Ur.
Stoke. the tailor,) be had discovered a great deal more of the va-
luable prn.whlch had been stolen by Sandford, a man named
Stevens, who is not In custody') and others, In the house of Mr.
Edge.:of -street, Strand, about three months ago.
Mr. Haw sold the seater to produce.** property; and Mr.
Edge, who was in attendance, identified it. Ford found the goods
pledged at the shops of different patinbrokere; who had given them
up to him.
Mr. Edge produced a -letter written to him by the convict
Sandford, imploring him (Mr. Edge) to use his humane exertions
to save him from cooks' pan t. He stated, as a ground for
rentission of the sentence, that but for him (Sandford,) on the
night of the robbery, he (Mr. Edge) would have been murdered
. by Stevens, who bad repeatedly threatened to' psi him to death •
and whowes the lOW= of a letter received by. Mr Edge since th;
robbery was committed, which contained a similar threat.
