MANS lON- HOUSE.
Sasiuset Clough, a labourer in the East India Company's service,
was brought before the Loan Mayon for Owl watuninadort, charged
with having robbed the Company's warebenses of goods to a very
large amount.
On. Saturday week the prlsoner,who was well acquainted with the
construction of the warehouses and the mode of arranging the pro.
pert, therein, managed to conceal himself in one of the tea-ware-
homes, and patiently watched for a good opportunity, wheole cut.
and bored, and punched his way through sundry floors and roofs
until he reached one of the depositories in which the silk goods
are kept. Determined to do the job properly, he opened seve-
ral of the packages, and selected from an infinite variety some of
the most choice articles. Having tied them up, he broke out
through the roof over his bead. and dropped them down into an
obscure yard in Arrow-alley. He then prepared to descend him-
self, for wbkh purpose he fastened a rope to a chimney. but here
his good fortune deserted him. By some mismanagement he tum-
bled into a tank of water, and be was soon after apprehended.
Suspicion was entertained that the primer bad accomplices in so
hazardous and extensive an undertaking, but John Forrester, an
experienced milker. who apprehended him, said, after having exa-
mined all parts of the buildings through which Clough paned, that
immense as the labour had been in opening the packages and pene-
trating roofs and floors, the whole was accomplished by the pri-
soner alone. No trace of an accomplice had at all been discovered.
The prisoner was fully committed for trial.

seers of the parish of St: Martin's, appeared before Sir R. Bram,
with two weakly looking children, orphan paupers, for the purpose
I of baying them bound apprentice to a chimney sweep.
Sir R. Braun said he had a great objection to binding children
to that unhappy trade, for that nine times out of ten; after serving
seven or eight years, they were unfit for that or for any other in'-
i shiest and were turned upon the world destitute, and becalm
vagabctuds and thieves.
Mr. hlnnnou. concurred in his opinion with the Chief Magis7
taste, and alluded to a circular addressed some time ago by la.

rage as much as possible the use of machinery in the cleaning of
chimnles.

After •lengthened conversation, the worthy Magistrates refused
to sign the indentures.

Avis. here explained to the Magistrate that the prisoner's hus-
band lived in the service of the Travellers' Club, but having been.
detected in some acts of dishonesty, he had been placed at the bar
of this cake about a week since, and the articles being of the most
trivial description the Club declined prosecuting.
Mr. Conan inquired who bad the table-cloths at present?

The table-cloths were here produced. In the middle the Rose,
Thistle, and Shamrock, are entwined, round which, in full inch
letters, are wove, " The United Service Club," and on the outside .
'of the circle four -land and sea engagements are represented in

stated that the female prisoner pledged the articles at his shop -foe
ten shillings, he refusing to lend more upon them.
Mr. Conan enquired how he could take in tablelinen with the
"'United Service" in such conspicuous characters upon It it, and
also malsensined?

demo, and asking him it be would pay the rent, he replied daft he
bad a point or two to settle witifhim, andtio saying, struck Idea
violent blow and knocked him down. While on the round he
jumped on his person, and ruptured him in a shocking manner.
Witnesses were eVUedt who corroborated the statement, and
spoke of the extreme violence of the defendant's pauper on the
occasion. •
The•defendant, in reply to the charge, said that the complainant
had conducted, himself in a very turbulent manner, and not only.
' wanted the character of a broker, but also that of a poUce-oSeer ;
and on his, (the defendant) refusing to pay hint the rent, be in-
stantly struck him.
Mr. Walker remarked, that if be even bad struck him, it did
not justify him in acting in the brutal and unmanly manner be had
that of jumping on the complainant. The assault was of -the
