• -.0016--- •

Otrrhon —Friday, W, Clarke. a young person in very
light sia)s. and decorated n ith all the tither insignia of a dandy. I
OUP brought up on the vulgar cbaige of picking a brazier's '
pocket
Mr. John Deem. the Complainant, said. that ns he was-going
tluorgh %' Wearier, from his house in Swallnay.street, to St.
C/ement,'s•lailikat two o'clock the day before. a Gentleman
latinsisd Biosbell" told him his pocket hod just been picked.
iala.that tbelmesosi who had picked it was just turning the
caggiaripia..at paved court. The Conspiainant saw the Prisoner
Illefipeelber wan, svilking along unconcernedly, outil they came
td t weer of thcbArt. dawn which they gave a short turn
'Witness. called oict r atop thief," open which the Prisoner's
ft lend roe away, and the Prisoner himseg tried to du the some,
bid some how or other was unable. %fitness saw his pocket
book lying on the -pavement ; it contained ths IL notes, and a
Birmingham note for SL.
Mr. Bushell said, he saw the Prisoner and his companion
follow the Complainant, but had no suspicion that they were
thieves, us they appeared to be men of fashion. He was. how-
aver. men convinced that they were in the exercise of a trade
for the sot re 4 in w hick their dress was well adapted. The Pri-
soner put hie hand into Mr. Dean's pocket, and very calmly
took or: leis poetert-book. It V./Hey:UMW la such a manner, as
tint to excite the blithest suspicion in the witness, who roucluds
ed thtst they were friends a the Gentleman, and here playing
bins a pleasant trick. He thought it rather odd that they loitild
turn a corner without speaking to Mr. Dean ; on which he
spoke to that Gentleman upon the snkject. When Mr. Dews
sent after the Prisoi.ers the witness did not follow him ; for be
knew that the Dandier, it they attempted -e escape, would be
nt liged to retorts by the way they went out of their sight ; and
be accordingly stationed himself at the c-rner, to present their
getting away, in case the thing turned out to he more-than a
Jest. The Prisoner's friend first ran from the passage, and dial
PO with such violence as to break through the opposition of
3lr. Bushell. The 'Prisoner himself nest appeared. but was
unable to snake any struggles a child would have stopped him.
• —The witness, of course. kept his Stager upon him, and was PIM,
prised at bearing nothing escape from him but " Cutse the
law."
, An Officer found some Banknotes on the Prisoner, a silver
match, hair chain, and five gold seals.
• Prisoner—'You my honour, 1 got them all in the way of bits
The MAOSSTReTC ( Alderman Atkins) said, he never heard a
clearer cape of felony. Ile directed that the watch, seals, &c.
should be advertised, and exist essed an expectation that the
persons to whom they housefly belonged would be induced to
come forward upon the subject.
. The Prisoner's Solicitor observed, that he was to understand
that his a lurid was to be brought up again.
Mr. Alderman ATX.IItS said, if any fresh charge bheuld be,
brought forward, he should certainly have the Prisoner agaili
before him. Win. Clot ke was, however, to be moldered fis
sally examined spell this geonation.
Tic Prisouer was cooducted to prison.
