A man named Jrzeby waa yesterday brought beast the Limb
Maros under the following circumstances:
The landlord of the Beehive public-horse. y Leadoedsall-street,
had, in consmon wails other licensed victuallers, been subject to
great losses in pewter pots, an article which the thieves who apply
themselves to this kind of robbery conceal and carry away in great
numbers at a time. In the course of the morning two constables
having received information of a robbery, and beard that maw of
'the property stolen was concealed in an old iron and rag shop in
Spitalfieisis, went thither to search the premises. Just as .they had
finished their task, who should walk in but the prisoner, who,
pulling a pint pot from under his coat, was about to ask them for
the few pence which on such occasions are given by receivers, when
he perceived that he had run into the lion's mouth. He was insme-
drat. ly secured. and the name of the owner being cut upon the pot,
he was required to appear before the Lord Mayor.
The urriortunate prisoner said that he met a man who gave him a
drop of beer, upon his promise to carry home the pint, and that he
mistook the old iron shop for the public-house, as he went along.
The LORD M•voa committed the prisoner for two months under
the Bumboat Act.
A man named Laken was charged with having stolen thirty
yards of narrow Abend from the shop of Messrs. Morrison sod Co.
of Fore-street. It was stated upon the part of the prosecutioa, that
the firm greatly regretted the necessity of prosecuting; but the
pilfering. were so numerous in their coocena, they could net avoid
indicting the pa.corer. It was stated that the prisoner was ob-
served, while in the act of purchasing some trifling goods, to slip the
piece art riband up his sleeve. Ile was fully committed for triaL

Two young men, named Canspieil and Lewis, were charged with
defrauding Mr. Berens, a dealer in French fancy articles, in St.
Paul's Church-yard, of goods to the amount of 1711. 1.51. LL It'
appeared that Campbell went to the complainant's warehouse and
selected certain goods, which he directed to be taken in a packing-
case to the Swan with Two Necks, Lad-lane, and the price of them
I would be paid in each. The goods were taken te the ins at the
appointed time • and Campbell, whe was-waiting fee than, said
he had just received a note from a friend m the East India Report
Dock, and which stated that he would bring WAIL with him to
Tom's coffee.bouse that evening. Campbell said be amid net pay
for the goods. until he received this money, and, walking through
the coach-office, told the book-keeper to keep the use until the
following day. They separated in the street. agreeing to meet at
Tom's at the appointed time, and thither the complainant and his',
partner went accordingly, but neither Campbell nor his Mead
came. Inquiries were then made at Lad-lame, sad it was disco-
vered that the case had been removed about an hem before by
Campbell. The same evening the prisoners were apprehended at
a home in Oakley.street, Lambeth, while repacking the raw—
'limy were committed.

The prisoner, an uncouth closets's.looking tam, apparently
about 40, strong built, and" more von than bard besseme," was
highly indignant at the manner in which, ke mid, be had been
treated at the watch-house. He was promeding to run ma la a

stated the charge which be had against him.

"Oh dear no," said the poet ;0 I wished to bear the music in
the orchestra, aid I was told I should pick up some ideas in wit-
noising the entertainments.'
" And did you," said the Magistrate.
"Yes, I caught several very doe ideas," replied the poet ; "but
the piaguy fellows I afterwards met with drove them out of my
head." He then proceeded to desCribe the rude manner in which
be bad been treated ; and, by way of a practical Murat-MN he

Singe, that this man took a hold of me." 1

The officer looked a good deal astonished, and Sir Remain
Braun observed to the poet, that if be got a shake, he bad paid it
of with interest. " However," said the Magistrate, "as it seems
you are a man of genius, a poet, and so forth, I cannot think of de.
raining you, and therefore you are discharged."
The poet, however, was an injured man, and complained bit-
terly of his treatment at the watch-house, declaring that he was de-
termined to seek redress at the Throne if be could find it no where
else. " Why," said lee," my poetry is at this present time before
his Majesty ; and the Premier himself, Lord Godericb, to whom I
also enclosed a copy of my poems, wrote the a letter containing a
sovereign, and said be was sure he should feel muck pleasure in
reading my book. I shall send you a copy too, Sir Richard De-
nte," be added; and as you say if am at liberty, I shall go to the
Temple and bring my friend Mr. Beverley here, just to 'hew you
that I told you the truth."
Here the poet, who, like most of his brethren, appeared to be
used to sudden Impulses, snatched up his hat, and disappeared In a
twinkling. He however returned in a short time with his friend
'Mr. Beverley, who, in a merry conference with Sir R. B 11111; con-
firmed the statement of the Yorkshire poet ; the latter, bowing,
presented the Magistrate with a copy of his poems, and then with-
drew, accompanied by his friend.
