Information was immediately given at Bow.strcct of I,
the robbery. On the ensuing morning Same'
Lock, an officer, observed Ibbetson walking down
Drury 'Lane, with a large bundle under his arm.—
He immediately pursued him, and saw him enter the
cock and Magpie public house, r whither he followed
'him, and, on entering the tap-room, he saw Mitchell
and Symons in company with a woman, and Ibbet-
'son standing near them. The bundle was placed be.
nind them, and they seemed desirous of holding it
from his view ; he, however, insisted upon examining
the contents of the bundle, upon which they all
chewed symptoms of alarm, and Ibbetson said he had
I sent for the bundle by Mitchell. Upon this assertion
being made, and Lock saying he must take them to
Bow-street, Mitchell jumped out of the window into
the back yard, in coming from w{lieli he was secured.
The prosecutrix'was sent for, and, on examining the
{contents of the bundle, sh.t discovered them tohe the
property stolen from tier hone.
Ibbetsnn and Mitchell, in th,:r defence, denied ail
knowledge of the transaction, and Symons said he
accidentally went into the public house, in which he
was apprehended, and was partaking of a pint of ale'
with the woman, in whose 'Company he was found. •
Sir ALLAN Cuma LIKE summed up the evidtnee, and
the Jury found Ibbetson and Mitchell'gniltrof steal-
ing to the value of ;',9s. and acquitted Symons. •

that form auenaion not taking thoae precautions which would se-
cure them the enjoymentot thatgreet domestic blessing. People
of every rank pay adoration to chi shrine of wedlock; but where'
the constitution bas been tainted ay disease, oe debilitated by a
certain habit coetracted at an early age, a renovatioa of st dinky
previous to entering that 0:2:C is inilispensibly requisite to revive
the slumbering sparks of life, and to teluhriate the system. Foe
no disorders have erstunbuted more essentielly to destroy Hyme-
neal happiness than those which are the consequence of unguarded
pleasure. it was this corusideration winch induced Messrs
CURRIE and Co. for these last twenty years, to direct their rea-
dies and prat:lee exclusively to the treatment and cure of the ye-
nerral Disease, and the disorders arising therefrom; as also to that
i derangeineut of the system, produced by the destructive habit ef
the inconsiderate school-boy, which brings on these slistressing
IDebilities and Dent-terms that prevent or embitter she Maui-
, motnal state. The successful result of their plau, gives them
j asid.nenal ardour to oppose the ravages of these complaints,

tary vice to seek relief by consulting Professional men of end-

the sanctiou of scholastic ateltnrity, as well as the testimony of
i uncontradicted facts. In profescbs the
