circumstances. The prosecutor—a-man named Chad-
wick—is a carter in the service of Mr. Rose, the con-
tractor, and necessarily, from the nature of his occupation,
sleeps in the day and works by night. On Friday aiter-

-
noon, about two o'clock, he went home to his- lodgings in
a court in Blenheim-street, and soon after retired to rest,
accompanied by Orrett, who is a fellow workman, who
said he would go to bed also. Both men lay down in the
same bed—Chadwick having taken the precaution of put-
ting his clothes under his pillow. Tn his pockets were
ninety-five sovereigns and ten pounds in silver. He had
no sooner fallen asleep than his companion got possession
of the money, with which he decamped. He was eventu-
ally apprehended by Sergeant Hetherington, of the county
force, at a beer-shop in Kirby, on Saturday, with eighty-

five sovereigns still in his possession. He was committed
for trial.—Mr. Rushton observed to the prosecutor ( a
simple-looking fellow) that there were plenty of good
banks in Liverpool, and that he (mg] t to have deposited
his money in one of them : he had narrowly escaped losing
the savings of long years of toil by his silly conduct. The
magistrate also commended the tact and industry of the
county policeman who arrested the prisoner.
