fair and reasonable value of his interest in the land,
and the case was argued by Mr. ALLEY and Mr.
ADOLPHUS, who called three respectable witnesses in
support of his claims.
Mr. WALFORD and Mr. ELLIS, on the part of the
Trustees, alleged £125 was not only a fair and ade-
quate, but also a very liberal valuation of Mr.
Scott's interest.
The CHAIRMAN having summed up, the Jury re-
turned a verdict of' £l5O for the plaintiff, with tests.

Bow-sT ear.—Yesterday, Margaret Gilson and
Sarah Doyle were brought up by Purton and Read,
on suipicron of robbery. In searching Gilson's lodg-
ings, in.Tichburne-court, Holborn, under a search-
warrant, for some shirts which had been stolen, the
officers discovered a trunk in her room, which they
broke open, and in it found upwards of fifty skeleton
keys, three crowbars, a dark lantern, and several
other instruments for housebreaking; two silver
spoons, the names on which had been filed off; and a
silver watch. The prisoner at first said the trunk was
her own, and her husband had the key ; but she af-
terwards stated, that it and its contents belonged to
a man of the name of Richard Sholtock, who, it ap-
pears, was transported two or three years ago. The
prisoner Doyle was with Gilson in her room when
the officers were there, and they took them both into
•custody. Her husband, however, appearing to be an
honest industrious man, she was discharged, with an
advice from the Magistrate to be more guarded in
future iu the selection of her companions. The other
prisoner was remanded for farther examination on
Wednesday next.
John Murphy was charged with stealing a snuff-
box from Lawrence Parodi, in the month of July last.
Senor Parodi, who is an Italian dancing-master, swore
that one evening in July last, he went to the Opera,
and immediately before his coming out he had the
box in his possession, but missed it when he got
home. Harriet Newton stated, that the prisoner, who
sold walnuts, &c. and dealt at her father's shop, told
her that he found the box at the corner of Covent-
garden ; and having spent more money on the pre-
ceding day than he ought, he was distressed for five
shillings, and would let her have the box for that
sum. She accordingly purchased it from him. The
prisoner was committed for trial. •
Thomas Marsh and John Cooke, whom the officers
described as notorious offenders, were also fully com-
mitted, for having picked Sir Charles Dance's pocket,
when coming out of Drury-Lane Theatre. Purton,
the officer, seized them both, while one of them had
hold of Sir Charles's skirts.
