OLD BAILEY.

Yesterday Richard Heath was indicted for stealhlt
a book, value 15s. the property of Thomas Edwards
The prosecutor* is a booksAlei, and keeps a stall
covered with books outside his shop-door. The •
saner, on the day stated in the indictment, was
looking at the books, and, when he thought he was
not observed, he tock up one, and walked away. He
had got six doors off, when he vas st•Tped, and the
book fell from his hand.

A respectable tradesman gave the prisPnAr x 'mod
character, and said he believed tha! dirt:ebs alone
could have induced him to commit the o:eft.

•
The Jury found him Gui 4, but recommended
him to mercy.
The Revonont said, this was nee a case in whicx
the Court would deal severely with the prisoner, n
allowance would be made for the temptation he&
out by the prosecutor, in placing his property in that
careless manner in the street. It trade3men wernia
be so careless, they must expect to be robbed.
The tradesman who gave the prisoner a gouda*.
ratter offered to take him again into hi: service,
the Court would deal leniently with him.
The RECG/IDER said, he should suffer a shat
prisonment.

this Session. The COMMON SenJEANT said, the point •
had receiveJ the deepest confideration; and it was
with much te.luctance that he informed the defendant
that the Court considered the objection to he fatal,
and that he must be di:xitarged. The defendaat was
then discharged.

mons for that purpose. Mr. Mahler, his Lardshipla clerk, int.
*coned that the information did not set forth the penalty to which

tempting to horsewhip him. Mr. Elliston's arm vis Sapp rud
by a sling ; and Mr. Rodweli's head being hound or, n. lcaud
the receipt of some rough treatment thereabout. Yr. l'
jun. and Mr. Russell, the Stage Ma:lager, were preocut. t-s were.

Haling the affair in the Newspapera.-' the whole of what appeared
