James Richards wa;CLriedians;iicioaof various robberies.—
About three weeks ago, a person, cutting a stack of hay, in a field
near Holloway, found a parcel wrapped in a new bat-lining, which
contained 27 duplicates of various articles (amongst which were a
gold and a silver watch), several baskets of tools, &c. and sundry
housebreaking implements. Mime were placed in the hands of
Reed, sen. the officer, who gave information to the different pawn-
brokers, and the prisoner was apprehended at the shop of Messrs.
Lamb and Gideon, in Stanhope street, Clare-market, having called
there to stop the silver watch, of which he said he had lost the
duplicate. He was recognized at the Office as having been only
liberated from the New Prison the day previous to calking at Stan-
hope-street. A hat.haiinguquite sew, and corresponding with the.
one in which the duplicates were wrapped, was found on him. A
gold watch, pledged at Mr. Peachey'a, in Aldersgate-street, was
also identified by a Gentleman named Williams. He denied any
knowledge of the parcel, and was remanded until Friday.

• &irak Mawr and lialsaars yd-wer; brought sip on Saturday, in
the custody of Webster and Gibbs, the officers, chatged with
having a quantity of melted pewter, sheet lead, and pewter pots,in
their possession, supposed to be stolen.—lt appeared that the officers
received information that pertons were seen carrying sacks full of.
property front a stable belonging to Lloyd, who is a marine store
dealer, under extremely suspicious circumstances. They repaired
to her shop, and kept watch until the shutters were taken down,
when they entered the place, and mentioned their suspicions
'to Loyd, who invited them to search the place; while they
were there Moore came into the shop with a basket contain-
ing niched pewter and some pots, wheels she offered for sale.
She was detained, having confessed that sbe had stolen them in con-
sequence of her poverty. The officers searched the house of Lloyd,
and found concealed large quantities of lead and melted pewter in
the cupboards and in bags; and on proceeding to the stable behind
the house, a quantity of sheet lead, cut in pieces, was found.
Moore (an interesting young woman) cried very much during the
investigatiuo. She did nut deny having stolen the pots, but poverty
and starvation urged her to the commission of the act. Her hus-
band bad left her nine months ago with her child, and she bad no
means of supporting htrself and infant. Her appearance indicated
great want.
JJoyd said she came honestly by the property found in her p, pr.
geisha]. She was convicted under the Statute in the penalty of .51.
and Aware was remanded.
