SCOTLAND.

On Wednesday last a Glasgow ruffian, of the name of
Stewart alias Numro, made *sodden dish into the shop of
Mr. Turnbull, siothier.Migh-strest,lidinbargli, and carried
awn a web of cloth which were lying upon the counter.
thltrestseprise he waa ambled by two associates who
rensaieed 'eutskie. eye of whom, named say, was
about a year ago. before tire WO Conir'tircll'ltstteiary,
'for lioesehrealtiog. 41a SO coarse of half an hour the
'three fellows were traced to a house itr the Cowgate ; and
the two whose names Ulm beta mentioned, were taken
Into custody. This band, it seems, have been oomusittlng
depredations, of late, with ma audacity almost unexampled.,
A few days ago Stewart alias !lima°, went into a shop in
Lothian Street, and while praising some silk bandkerridefs,
it. snatchettseven out of the young womb's baud, and ran.
off with them. About the muse time he suddenly entered a
shop upon the Bridge. and passing his arm across the.
counter, drew away from the window 12 silk handkerchiefs;
with which be got clear off.. Thursday .ketcart alias
Ala sro was charged in the Police Coort with alk.Alrese
theft*, and Twopenny with aiding aed abetting hipes sad
the two first thefts having been clearly estahlishertimainst
the forgoer' he was sentenced to sixty days eonlincuserst in
Bcidewell for each offence, and to be fed during the lad
sixty days upon bread and water. Fur his participation in
toe first offence. Twopenny was sentenced to six.y days'
confinement. The cloth taken from Mr. Turnbull 's shop
has been recovered.

For some time plat, a family in Eflininiegh has been ex•
posed to the annoyance of a very painful kind. One of
their female servants has the misfortune to be married
to a man whose dissipated habits have compelled her to
desert his society, and to trust to her own industry for a
support. The msn; brisling now that he had " too little
wife," was in constant practice of intruding himself iotu
the house of his wife's master at all boors ; and endeavouring
to regain her affections by all the soft blandishments which
his passion could suggests When refused admittance, he
would Eationsly ring the streeshell until the door was opened
to him; and when he found that his persu 'sive eloquence
was of no avail, he said he would hang himself up by the
•eck, as a sail example of slighted love. A few nights ago he
[ underwent this process to such .good purpose—(his hand,
kershief, which twined the noose, being fastened to an
'son her of the window)—that the fondly, after cutting him
down, wereohliged to send for a sergeon to restore him to
animatioa. These practices at length became so intolorable,
that it was found necessary to complain of him to the
Police Court; and Friday be was bound over to keep the
Pelle";
Thuteday, an honest lkard working Cobbler in the
Cast)* HiH Edinhargh, haring had occasion to kat' hlt
stall for a few minutes, 'acanthus's], left * one 001104 t note
lying upon it. Finding that it bad been converts' sway,
his Nitpicking lighted upon a little urchin of seven years
old, the son of one of tilt neighbouts, and having gone in
clued of him, be found him and an elder brother seated in
a pr-shop, withplier,and beetsteall before them, and a':
reasonable quantity of porter! The boys denied the theft,
but alleged that they bad -foaticl'a note, ten shillings uf :
which they had given to their mother. This she restored
to the Cobbler; who being still out of pocket, conveyed,
Has two youthful delinquents before the Police Court, lint
assisted, with a warmth which did honour to him, that
he would not fur the world have the boys punished, as their
father was a very honest man. The soother of the boys,.
who was in Court, seemed deeply affected by their whin:
ehaly sittiationoand pledged herself to relish' the loss
sustained' by the Coldsler, open which the two prisoners,
were di/twit:ad front the bars after a salvable admookition.

Mr. Boron tlaititow then said, that there Was C

ship therefore directed a newßill to be preferred,aod desired
the- witnesses in Court to • attend the Grand: Jury at
Clerkenwell, for the potpose of giving evidence to the
case. .

The COURT eapresied the 'highest disapprobation at the
conduct of the witnesses who' were to have attended to pro-
secute a prisoner named Field, whose trial for a burglary
near Edmonton was to come on this day. The witnesses
having neglected to appear against the prisoner, the re-
cognisance a were orJered to be retreated, and the opinion
of the Court was, that undue means had been resorted to,
iworder to defeat the ends of justice.

I Ames Tibbs was indicted for stealing a. pint of brandy
[end two bottles of wine,.tbe property of Messrs. Wand
and Hlakeway.—Henry Yates, an ()Meer, stated that he
found the property named in the •indictment, and other
articles at the prisonees isouse.—Williatn Sate, is clerk
and cellarmen to the prosecutors, who are wine-merchants
and store-keepers, gated, that the prisoner was in their
employ t they had inspected him some time—never was
authorized to take Wine or spirits, without leave trail him
or some proper authority-shout two years ago Mr. Blake-
way took him into bis service, as be was in distress.—The
prisoner made no defence, but called three witnesses,
who gave him a goad character—be lived with one of them
fur five years.

Mr. Baron Gsuatiw, in addressinr the Jury, referred
to the statute passed in the I.st reign, to protect masters
from robberies committed hr their servants, aed.expesienee
had shown• the necessity of it% existence, si every Sessions '

Mr. Baron Ilawauw, in feeling terms. lamented that Li

added--" I suppose. Gentlemen, I need only ask you to de-
liver year verdict." His Lordship then utecrvad, that he
would consult his Learned Beother as to the manner the

although it might seem harsh, the Court would record
against him fourteen years transportation; and nu .!oubt
