GUILDHALL: JUVENILE DEPREDATORS .A ragged
little fellow, about 11 years old, named Robert Bun-
bridge, one of a gang of pilfering little unhinge that
infest the neighbourhood of Long-lane, Smithfield,
was brought up yesterday before Mr. Alderman
GRIDOes, upon the charge of a Mr. Hodge, who keeps
a toy-shop, No. 63, in the lane.
Mr. Hodge stated, that the neighbourhood was per-
petually annoyed by a number of dirty boys, about the
age of the prisoner, and Bassett( them younger, who ap-
peared to have no other visible mode of getting their
bread than by committing depredations, and pilfering
everything they can lay their bands open. Their
pesetice is to watch their opportunity about dusk, and
break the panes in shop-windows; and in the hours of
business they lurk about, two or three together, re-
move the broken pieces of glass. and rob the windows
of any small article within their reach. In this way he
had himself no less than 8 squares broke in 'bits shop-
window within the last fortnight. Expecting depre-
dations in consequence, be had been almost continu-
ally on the watch, and on IVednesday afternoon,
while a fede+le was looking at the goods in the shop-
window, lie observed the prisoner, and 2 other bays
place themselves beside her, near to one of the squares
of glass that had been broken. He watched 'them, and
saw the prisoner remove a piece of pasteboard that
had been put against he broken pane, and steal a box
of colours and another small article out of the win-
dow ; his companions the while so completely cover-
ing him on each side, as entirely to preclude the obser-
vations of passengers. On seeing him, Mr. [lodge,
came to the door, they made off ; he pursued the pri-
soner, who set up the cry of " Stop thief ;" and after
a petty long chase took him into custody.
The boy cried a great deal, but had nothing to say
in his defence : and the Magistrate, thinking him a
fit object to be made an example of to deter others,
committed him to Newgate for trial.
Bovi-sTatET.—Yesterday William Pool, a coal-
merchant, residing in Smith-street, Northampton-
square, Clerkenwell, was brought before R. GINNIE,
Esq. on a warrant for assaulting and beating Win
Evans. The complainaat, who is butler to Lord Fal-
sleuth, stated, that yesterday morning the defendant,
accompanied by two of his porters, came with a Wag-
lei load of coals to the residence of his Lordship in
EL James's-street, and were proceeding to unload,
.when the eonsileinaort, asepecting from She elm:eak
at which they were to be sold, thaeteeese decertilsa
as to the measurement was practised, proposed to Mr.
Pool that the unloading should be delayed till an in-
spector from the Coal Meter's Office should arrive.
Mr. Pool seemed thunderstruck at the proposition, and
refused to accede to it, saying, if they did not like to
take the coals on his word, they should not bare them
at all, and that he should immediately drive his wag-
gon away. The complainant then told him that he
should not be suffered to do so until the Inspector ar-
rived. He was proceeding with some further remarks,
when Mr. Pool enjoined silence by a severe blow on
the head, which knocked the complainant down. He
then ordered his porters to drive off the waggon. Se-
veral of Lord Falmouth's attendants, who had witness-
ed the insult committed on their fellow-servant, came
to his assistance, and a general fight ensued, which
terminated, after many severe contusions having been
received on both sides, in favour of the defendant, who
drove off his waggon in triumph. On measuring one
of the sacks which had been unloaded, it was found
to be deficient in its due measure.
Mr. Pool being called upon for his defence. admit-
ted the assault, but contended that he was justified by
the conduct of the complainant, who had me authority
to detain him ; he had Wily given him a gentle tap
on the head, and be had not the least doubt but his
fist had sustained the greatest injury, the head of the
complainant being so confounded bard." He was
ordered to find bail for his appearance at the Sessions.

The keeper of a billiard-table at C-m had the
good fortune to win so large a sum on one occasion,
that it enabled him to build a pretty house with a neat
lawn. A wag has christened his residence Ole-green!
