Jukes, the botwho was a few days. ago examined beiore tbr
Loan Maven, charged with having entered the house of a Siedicat
Gentleman, and stolen seven silk handkerchiefs, the property of
one of the apprentices, was fully committed for trial.
This extraordinary boy listened to the evidence against him wit►
great arwitiou, but without being in the slightest degree inured;
be bad exchanged his white hat for a cap with it tam!, and looked-
even more like the child of a Gentleman than he did upon the
former occasion.

Mr. Marriott'. servant girl, who found the primmer ha her
masters preudses, at some distance from the house where the rob-
bery was committed, was told by him that he came from a boom
in the neighbourhood, in which he lived, in order to look after his
pigeon. She, however, refused to let him out of her itemise
although be muted her he would spew her Ws father's ham ftent
the window at which be bad entered. All attempts to get from
him an ackdowiedgment of his accompllcel proved unavailing.

deplorable instals* of depravity, as the boy and hie confederates,
but tram The witnesses were bound ever to appear at

Thomas Smith, an operative,. was yesterday morning brought
before-the Sitting Magistrate, T. HALL; Estq. in the custody of
bliedlicott, an Officer of this establishment, and placed at the bar.
charged by Wm. Butler, his fellow-labourer, who deposed that oje
Tuesday morning last, in company with the prisoner and ether
workmen, who are employed in the new building adjoining the
Museum, went to take their breakfast in an adjacent coffee-shop ;*
and, while in the act of sipping his tea, the prisoner calved out at
him," Bill, what's o'clock by your ticker r He pet down the cup
which he held in his hand, and proceeded to draw forth his watch,
worth five guineas. On producing it, and telling the hour, he
was about to re-place it in its repository, when Smith requested
"gust to look at it:" He give it km the hands of the prisoner,•
wise exclaimed to Robert Parfree, the foreman, " My eyes, Bob,.
what a weight I—and now that I have it, let's have a lark; to
which Bob assented. Smith them took the works out of the case, and
said, " the casealone would fetch as much Muni as was wanted for
one day's spree." He however replaced the works, and the party
left the coffee-moat together. Not Imagining that the prisoner was
in earnest the cumplainamt quietly remained and finished his tea
and hoc rolls, and went back to his work, which was the outside of
the building, while the prisoner was engaged on the inside. At
dinner time the whole party again met, when, instead of Butler
receiving his watch, as he es Parfree politely handed him
a doplicate which but too ,Leicntlrydiconvinced him that his war,*
bad been deposed of. Parfree deposed to the same effect, adding,
however, that it was the iotontion of himself, and of the prisoner,
to redeem it la the course of a few days; that the whole party was
what it termed, " about half sprung," and that it was merely done
by way of a frolic, and not with any improper motive.
The primmer being called on for his defence, simply stated drathe
did not know that what he had done was of so serious a nature,
since it was only meant as a " lark" among themselves ; that part
of the money was this morning paid to the complainant, and the
remainder would be shortly forthcoming.
The worthy Magistrate then observed, that" larks," as they are
termed, like other frolics, may be carried too far, as in the present
instance; he should, therefore, remand him till Tuesday next, in order
to afford time to procure sufficient money to liberate the watch,wincia
he strongly recommended him to do, otherwise he would be com-
mitted for feloniously obtaining it.—The prisoner was then removed
from the bar.
