BEGGA.P.S.—Mr. Gray, of the Parish-office, appeared
yestzTday at the Police-court, to hear the informations
preferred before Mr. Rushton, against bet‘ieen twenty
and thirty persons who had been apprehended for hogging,
and receivin the magistrate's direct:ons respecting them.
Amongst them were many poor cr:•atures, young and old,

dered for others, and a few were discharged With a strong

STEALING A WATCH.--Vestereav, at the Police-court,
a woman named Margaret Hewitt was charged by Edward
James, a wafehotsetnan, with stealing his watch. Com-
plainant said that at two o'clock that morning (yesterday,)
he had gOue to a house with the prisoner, who there seized
his watch, cut the guard, and, throwing the article under
the bed, endeavoured to make off. He got hold of her,
and held her, until, hivirig the alarm, a constable came,
and took her into custody. The watch (stated to be worth
£7 75.) was not found; but a hole was observed in the
floor, near the spot where it had been thrown. The pri-
soner was committed for trial.

We understand that Messrs. Seeley and Co., the Lon-
don puWishers, have in the press an important and
seasonable letter on the rumoured conces9ions to Popery
in Ireland, addressed to Sir Robert Peel, by a eleigyrnan
of this diocese.
