Argyle-street, a watch chain and three seals, valued
thirty-one pounds.
Mr. Wakley, who is a very good looking young mar.,
of fair complexion and above the iii Idle size, deposed,

mitted on him at his residence in A rglye-st rev), hr tv-rit

crowd. The prosecutor then laid hold of a person i
the roLber and gave him into custody ; but whethei the
pri•olier was that person, or not, he cotild not exactly

who had committed the robbery. Another witness was
called for the prosecution, but he proved nothing ma-

Mr. lVaklev recommended the prisoner to merry. li:s

I might have been misled by evil-companions.
The Common SIMMANT gave the prosecutor every
credit for his humane feelings, but said it was quite im•
possible his recommendation could he attended to, as
the offmce was of so aggravated a nature as to preclude
all hopes of mercy.

two ounces of silver, value four shillings, in tbegivelling
house of Mr. Evaunet, a worker in silver, residin; in

Ourrs Bacs.—So odious, (says a Correspondent,)
has the sight of Breen Rae• become, from a certain
association of ideas, that when the Secretary a
Society at Daventry, of which our informant is a stens-
ber, brought the hooks the other night in a bag. of
that offensive colour, the obnoxious envelope e•as, by
an unanimous vote, consigned to the flames, and a bag
of true blue ordered in its stead, to be kept in a box.of
heart of oak.
IVednesday last, a hare jumped into the Great Canal
at Fort-Duntlas. A barber, who happened to be a
keen sportsman, immediately jumped in after her, with-
, out considering how he was to get out, the b.in!.s at
the place being nearly four feet above the surface. of
the water. A number of porters who were new spliced
their ropes, banded them down, and hauled up the
adventurous tosser with puss in his arms.
