BOW-STREET.

Yesterday, an " Operative" weaver, named Stant**, was charged
with stealing a diamond pin, the property of Mr. Day, a coal-
merchant, residing in the Savoy, Strand.
Mr. Day was at Covent Garden Theatre on Thursday night, and
stood near one of the side doors in the pit, when the prisoner very
much annoyed him, by thrusting his hat in his face, and pushing
against him. The repetition of this extraordinary conduct on the
part of the "operative," excited suspicion in the mind of Mr. Day
that the prisoner had some bad intent, and Mr. Day's right hand
almost instinctively darted upon his fish, and he was happy to end
his "Ad watch was safe. He also found Ms money was in his pocket,
and his diamond pin in bb. bosom. On a sudden the prisoner dis-
appeared, and at the same moment the diamond pin was missing front
the shirt of Mr. Day. lie instantly applied to an officer, and after
some search, the prisoner was found, but the diamond pin was not
found upon hint; the officer found a watch, chain, and seals, and a
mourning ring, on the person of the prisoner.
Sir R. &awe asked the prisoner if he knew the number of the
watch ? He said he bad written it upon a paper about a fortnight
ago, which he had at home.

- ..
Su. U. Brants said that was strange, indeed, as there was no nur
ber on the watch. The prisoner comic' not tell the Inscription c
the mourning ring, and be was remanded.

Foamy. Detvila.--Captain J. Anning, of the Czar, Leith smack,
preferred a complaint against the drive of 95, hackney coachman,
for driving against his chain on Sund.ty bight last, in the Strand, by
which Mrs. Anning was thrown upon the pavement, aed severely
injured, and the Captain was thrown under the horses' feet, and
suffered considerably. It appeared that two hackney coaches were
driving at a rapid rate, and though the Captain's chaise was close to
the curb-stone, one of the coaches dashed against it with such vio-
lence as to break the shafts, and to inflict the injuries above stated.
A Gentleman who saw the transaction, and gave his name Mr.
Sandford, Wimpole.strset, did not come forward to speak to tie
identity of the prisoner, and Captain Aiming could not say positively
that he was the driver on the occasion.

Sir ft. Maxie lamented that, in such a flagrant case, the Gentle-
man bad not come forward; and be would postpone the case till
'Tuesday next, hoping that persons who witnessed the conduct of
the coachmen would then make their appearance, that the guilty
alight be punished.

MARY-LA-BONNE.
Margaret Reading, servant to the Rev. Mr. Gage, of Queen
Anne-street, Cavendish-square, applied to the Magistrate, under
the following circumstance: she stated that her father and mother
died some time since, leaving her, with two brothers, utterly des-
titute. She had engaged herself in a reputable 'service, but her
brothers went to Mary-la-bonne Workhouse, one of whom was
placed in the shop of a woollen-draper, and she had received notice,
that if the other was not taken from the Workhouse by this day
(Saturday), he would be sent to America. This was extremely
disagreeable both to her and him ; she, therefore, requested the in-
terference of his Worship.
Mr. Ravrtutson said, a Committee of the House of Commons
was now sitting to determine on the propriety of sending destitute
children to Canada ; but that the officers certainly had no right to
act till the Committee had decided, and directed her to return to
the Board, and deliver his opinion. This the girl did, and returned,
saying that two men had told her, in the presence of the Board,
that Mr. Ilawunson had nothing to do with it. Mr. it. smiling,
said be would personally inquire into the subject, and communi-
cate the result to the applicant.

of as Wandswerth-read. was charged with great cruelty to a little
boy under live years of age, by beating hint unmercifully with a
thick stick. The child's body presented one mass of bruises, the
effects of the brutal usage he had received at the bands of the de-
fendant. The charge was made by a Yrs. Jaws, who resides if
the neighbourhood.

of so perverse a temper, it was abselutely necessary to make kiwi
feel the lash.

of 201. each to appear at the Sessions.

of his head, to the depth of at least two inches and a half,
with which he ran some distance before it was With-
drawn. The deceased lingered in great pain till the
16. h, when he died in consequence of the wound...L.
