out such occasions there were samples of each wine in
great abundance, and as nasal there were more tasters
than bidders. One of the waiters observed t►at not
only wine was missing, but glasses : and a signal
being given, there was an extra look oat. The pri-
soner was observed to enjoy all the wines and to pocket
all the glasses. He was walking away from the auc-
tion-room, when one of the waiters called him on one
aide, and reminded him that he bad made a mistakein

31sar-La-noxs Orrice.—Thursday night, informa-
tion having bees received that the remainder of the
notorious Jack ilealey's gang, who suffered death is
pursuance of his sentence, for highway robbery at
Westoad Fair, were in the sightly habit of assemb:ing
at the Pontefract Castle, corner of Barrettis-court,
Wigmore-street, Cavendish-square, to plan what houses
they should attack is the night; Pendergrass, Coates
and Hill, constables of diary-le-bone, pnceeded to the
rendezvous. Os their arrival at the public-house, they
first made the landlord sensible of their visit, and then
made fast all the doors and wisdews of the house to
prevent escape. The officers afterwards rushed into
the tap-room, when the gang was assembled; some
were talkie's la a whispering Moe to each other, mad
others were lying on a bench sleeping. They were all
minty handseled and conveyed to the vratatheuse.
Yesterday they were brought before the Magistrates
at this office. Their names are Edward Chidley, win,
had been twice tried at the Old Bailey; James Haw-
kins, alias Grubby Lyons ; 'William Donkey, alias
Hensky, who was discharged by Pnelamation the last
Session ; Thomas Grady, brother to Grady who was
tried and cast for death for en aggravated highway
robbery this present Session; and Bob Saunders.—
The Magistrates committed the whole under the Police
Aet, as reputed thieves, to the House of Correction.
Two brothers were brought up from the watch-house
fur being found sleeping at the door of a tradesman's
house, in Oxford-street, the preceding night. The
poor fellows, on being placed at the bar, presented a
most appalling sight, as they were without either hats
or shoes, or scarcely any thing to guard them from the
inclemency of the weather, and apparently in a starv-
ing condition.
After the watchman bad made his complaint against
them, the elder, about ten years old, in a flood of
tears, stated that he and his little brother were with-
out relations or friends ; and had,on the morning they
were taken, been discharged from the Sessions by pro-
clamation, where they had been committed for steal-
ing a piece of bacon ; and having no place to go to,
and being very firer!, they bad set themselves down at
the step of the door to rest, and had fallen asleep.—
' At the age of five years, he and his brother were
obliged to seek a shelter where they could, on account
of their father running away from them (at this time
they lived in a small cottage in Portland-green, Mary-
le-bone) aid their mother died in Middlesex Hospital
with a broken heart. They bad since been outcasts,
and wandered about the streets. living by pilfering
whatever they could for sustenance; they now had no
other means of supporting themselves.
The affecting narrative. which was told in a very
artless and distinct manner, drew tears frans many of
the females present, several of whom gave them some
pecuniary assistance. 'the overseen of the parish
agreed to relieve the poor little boys, and the worthy
Magistrate signified his intention of getting them into
the Refuge for the Destitute. in Hoxton.
UNION•RALL..-...T1V0 fellows, named George Box and
Stephen Beech, were brought before R. L. CIASIBERS,
BEI. (the sitting Magistrate) charged with having
attempted to commit thefts at a fight which took place
on Tuesday last, in the Waterloo-fields, near the Co-
burg Theatre. These fields of late have become the
resort of disorderly characters of the worst descrip-
tion. Smith the othcer stated, that he bad received
intelligence that the Whiteelsapel butchers, and other
persons in that station of life. were to meet in ;he Wa-
terlco-fields, on Tuesday. fur the pa: pose of coming to
a decision upau points of skill and activity in fighting
with fists and bludgeons. As the ground was noto-
does for being visited by thieves of all descriptions,
the witness repaired thither with Gill, another othcer,
for the purpose of watching the latter, and preventing
the combats of the former. The officers, upon reach-
ing the spot, saw 400 or 500 people collected, to wit-
ness a battle that bad been just then wrack up between
two butchers. from whom, however, their seconds had
had prudence enough to remove their knives and other
instruments of slaughter, and to plan them before
each other in the true Beglish style, A number of
