scene of action being Cornhill, Leadenhall-street, and
about that neighbourhood; and although new comers
at this Office, very well acquainted with the'JUstice-
room at the Mansion House. The prosecutor, Ker-
not, was so positive as to his having the money the
instant before he wits accosted by the two prisoners,
and the impossibility of any other person's taking it
from him but the girls, that the Alderman was about
to commit them both for trial ; it was, however, sub-
sequently deemed more advisable to afford the op-
portunity of discovering the owner of the Country
Bank note found in the possession of Williams, and
they were therefore remanded for another examina-
tion on Saturday next.
HArros-GAanaw.--Yesterday, William Hyde and
Charles Clifford underwent a long examination, being
charged.with committing a most daring robbery at
the Angel Inn, in St. John-street. It appeared
had
on
the examination, that the first named prisoner
been under waiter at the abovemamed inn, and con-
sequently
was well acquainted with the ways of the'
house. He absconded from his situation at the time
of Bartholomew Fair, and did not return. On last
Saturday evening, whilst the servants of the house
were busy, the prisoner Hyde went unperceived up
to the waiters bed-rooms, forced open their boxes,
and stole the whole contents. The prisoner Hyde
having carried them off in several parcels, which he
delivered to the prisoner Clifford, who was loitering
at some distance at the corner of a street, they to-
gether pledged the property at four different pawn-
brokers, and divided the money. On the robbery
being discovered, inquiry was made on Monday at
the different pawnbrokers, and the whole of the pro-
perty was found pledged by a person suspected to be
the prisoner (Hyde), who was taken into custody.—
He immediately confessed that he had stolen the pro-
perty, and implicated Clifford, as above stated, with
whom he divided the spoil. The prisoners were re-
manded for further examination, in hopes that fur-
ther proof might be brought against Clifford than
the statement: of the other prisoner.
Two Italian boys, who were found begging in So-
Two
Town, carrying each a racoon in a box, were
brought up by the constable of the Mendicity Society,
and committed for a month each, under the Vagrant
Act, to the House of Correction, at which time it is
expected they will be passed to their native country. '1
MA RLBOnouGH-sr REET.—Yesterday,aninteresting
little girl, about thirteen years of age, was placed ati
the bar on a charge of robbery, preferred by Mr.'
Atkinson, of the Eagle Fire Office, at the Mr. corner al
dertnyn and Regent-streets, Piccadilly. Atkin.'
son stated, that the prisoner's family was very respect.
able, residing in Hampshire, from which place he
took her into his house in the capacity of a servant.
She had lived with him for the last seven months,
during which period several articles were missing.—
He was at a loss whom to suspect. until at length a
Gentleman who resides in the house Visas robbed of a
.1.75 note, &c. his bureau beingut yesterday
liecould
scarcely make up his mind to suspect the prisoner,
from the artlessness of her manners; but determined
on instituting every inquiry, he sent for Clement, the
officer, who, after closely questioning her as to the
robbery, and threatening to take her before a Ma-
gistrate, induced her to coafe,s that she had com-
mitted the robbery, and that she had hidden the note
under-one of the stairs, where it was accordingly
found. Ilse (Mr. Atkinson) was urged, from a feeling
of humanity towards the girl and her friends, to
bring her before a Magistrate, in the hope of reclaim-
ing her from a propensity for thieving. Ile had no
desire to prosecute her, but merely requested that she
might be placed in some asylum until her friends
were made acquainted with the circumstances under
which she was placed. He could never consent to
suffer her again in his house; and unless she was
placed somewhere until her friends were informed,
she would ultimately be involved in ruin by being
forced to walk in the streets, without a friend or a
home to go to. The poor girl's case excited much
commiseration, and during Mr. Atkinson's statement
she was convulsed with grief. Mr. DYER, the Ma-
gistrate, could not listen to any compromise of felony,
and in the present case he was afraid, if he were to
enter into it he should be compelled to commit the
girl to take her tiial, unless there happened to be a
deficiency in the evidence. However, the charge was
taken, and the prisoner, whose name is Ann Price,
was remanded. •
JUVENILE DELINQUENTS.--/k/lry Harris, aged
13, Richard Pendegrass, aged 12, and Michael A-
nderson, aged- 10 years, were charged by Mr. Wright,
bookseller, of Broad-street, Bloomsbury, with robbing
his child of its necklace. Mr. Wright stated, that his
child had scarcely been out of his sight ten minutes
when he heard that it had been robbed by the pri-
soners, and oh the child being confronted with them,
she pointed out Anderson as the person who took the
necklace from her neck. Mr. Shaw, of Drury-Lane
Theatre, stated that he saw the prisoners enticing the
little girl away from her home, and suspecting them,
he noticed their manoeuvres until they arrived in the
Green-yard, Drury-Lane, when the prisoners took
off the necklace and ran off; he pursued, and over-
took them, and brought them to Mr. Wright's shop,
where one of the prisoners told them that lie had
thrown the necklace on some soil, where it was af.
terwards found. Kenrick, an officer, received the
prisoners into custody, and brought them to the
Office. The prisoner Anderson, who was the youngest
of the party, behaved in the most hardened manner,
although a mild and prepossessing boy in appearance.
He checked his companions, who were shedding tears,
for their weakness, and spoke in a very bold tone.
He told the Magistrate that he did not take the neck-
lace, although pointed out; it was his companions
who took it off the child's neck, but if he told of
them they would give him a good mopping! . The
other prisoners said in their defence, that they had not
been out of place above a week. They were fully
committed for trial.
A DANCING MASTER AND A MUSICAL LADTe-.•AA
affair of crim.con. came upon inquiry. The dancing-
master described himself as living upon good terms
with his wife at an obscure village in Buckingham-
shire, and on Saturday last be accompanied her to
witness an exhibition of strolling players in a barn.—
The husband left hisfrail rib to see Pizarro, while
he took a glass of comfort with a neighbouring
farmer, and did not return home till after the play
was over ; and, to be brief, the musical lady had be-
come enamoured with the performance of Rolla8 • mid

site eloped with him in a neighbont's chaise cart.—
The husband discovered the retreat of the fugitives
'at Somers Town, but the wife refused to leave Rolla,
and the former sought advice how to make her. The
only answer given was—By an action for criminal
conversation. " What," said the husband, with mach
emphasis, " an action against a strolling player !".=
The former immediately quitted the Office.
MA RY-LA-BONNIL—A youth about 16 years of age,
very genteelly attired, and Who appeared to have been
well brought up, was brought before the Magistrate
by George Huggett, butler to the Hon. Miss Forbes,
in Baker-street, Portman-square, charged under the
Vagrant Act. The poor fellow on entering the Jus-
tice-room made his obeisance in a gentlemanly man-
ner to the Magistrates, and was then placed at the
bar. The butler stated, that yesterday, about one
I o'clock, he was in the kitchen, when the prisoner de-
-1 scended the area steps, and in a most pitiful manner
I implored his charity, at the same time presenting a
petition. His habiliments not appearing like those of
a beggar, and having read in the Papers of yesterday
(under the head of this Office) of a nest of thieves
who plundered the passages and areas of Gentlemen's
houses, he considered him to be one of the gang, who
had assumed that character as a cloak to facilitate
plunder. He therefore considered it his duty to bring
him before the Magistrates. The Magistrate asked
the prisoner what he had to say why he should not
be committed to prison? The poor fellow, shedding
tears, stated, that he was an orphan, and a native of
Herefordshire ; that he came to London four days
ago to get employment, but could not; and having
no friends or relations to assist bins, be bad written
the petition, thinking he was not offending the laws.
The above narrative was delivered with great expres-
sion, and excited the sympathy of all a:ound him.—
The worthy Magistrate told the butler that his con-
duct was very commendable, and eat:messed his wish
11that every person would act with the same discretion.
The examination of the prisoner was then taken, and
he was ordered to be passed 0 his parish (Bulling-
ham) in Herefordshire.
WORSHIP-STREET.—The Office and the street ad-
joining were crowded all day to excess, in consequence
of the interest excited by a young girl, calling herself'
Catherine Jones, who was charged with robbing three'
persons, with whom she had lived as servant. It,
would appear, that in the course of a few months she'
'robbed three successive masters of property to a con-11
,siderable amount, and without exciting the least sus-
picion of her honesty. The mistress of the house
where she last lived began to suspect her, and sent
for an officer to search her trunks, where there was,
found money to the amount of £lOO. The unfortu-,
nate girl, who had previously borne a good character,
was unable to stand during the examination, and
when she was committed for trial, fainted away.
TOWN-HALL, SOUTHWARK.—J. Lambert, the pri-
soner in custody under the warrant of the Coroner,
on the charge of Manslaughter, in killing his father-
in-law, James Allingham, was brought up yesterday
for re-examination before Mr. Alderman J. J. SMITH,
agreeably to the order of the Magistrate, as pre-
viously noticed in our Paper. Mr. Shelton, the Co-
roner, was in attendance ; and, previous to the com-
mencement of the examination, a long consultation
ensued between him and tire Alderman, in which
the Learned Gentleman endeavoured to impress on
the Mind of Are Magistrate the propriety of the ge-
neral custom of considering a commitment under
the Coroner's warrant, by virtue of a verdict of a
Jury, as removing a prisoner out of the further cog-
nizance of the Magistrate before whom he might
previously have been examined. On the Coroner's
quitting the Office, Mr. Alderman SMITH desired to
see the authority by which Mr. Lawes, the keeper of
the Borough Compter, detained the prisoner Lam-
bert; and having fully ascertained that he was in
custody under a full commitment from the Coroner,
he formally communicated that fact to the prisoner,
with the information that he would be tried for th;
offence at the Surrey Sessions, in March next. Ap-
plication, he said,.had been made to him by some of
the prisoner's friends, to admit him to bail, in conse-
quence of the lengthened period which must elapse
before the Sessions take place. If the prisoner were
innocent of the crime imputed to him, he regretted
much that he should be detained ; but it was his uni-
form practice in all serious and important cases, to
refer parties making such application, to a higher
authority, namely, a Judge, at his chambers, who,
upon proper affidavit being made before him, would
call Cpr the evidence taken before the Coroner, and
make his decision upon the full consideration of the
subject. One of the friends of the prisoner was very
desirous of pointing out an incorrectness in the evi-
dence given by the coachman before the Coroner's
Inquest, but was immediately stopped by the Alder-
man, who observed, that he could not listen to obser-
vations on evidence that was not regularly before
him. The prisoner, who appeared greatly affected,
was exsremely anxious that the coachman should be
called and examined. He was the only person who
had deposed that he (the prisoner) had violently and
wilfully pushed the deceased down. He was very
desirous of seeing him, and thought he might be per-
mitted to ask him a question or two. It might be
most important to him in his present situation.—
Alderman SMITH replied, that be (the prisoner) now
stood fully committed for trial by virtue of the Co-
roner's warrant, and he could not now re-argue the
prisoner's case. His friends must interfere for him
in the way already pointed out. Lambert, who was
attended by several very respectable individuals,who
appeared to take great interest in his fate, was then
taken from the bar. He is a respectable looking
young man, and was much agitated while in Court.
The feelings of commiseration which his situation
excited, were greatly heightened by the distress of
his wife, an interesting young woman, who was in
attendance. From their poverty and inability to pay
for a Judge's bail warrant, it is to be feared that the
prisoner must be incarcerated for several months
before trial—a hardship from which a little pecuniary
assistancu-HewouaLlL.,loh
would relieve him.Gorr
