from thence to the Finish, in James Street, where a dis-
pute arose between them and the waiter with retard ta a
shilling which they conceived to he an imposition. Tho
solicitor paid the
shilling,
but soon found that his pat •
was gone.
Mr. .Aotax asked whether the prisoners had been
searched ?

All the prisoners cried out tl.at they wished to he
searched. They then stated that the solicitor joine I
I their company without being incited, and challenged,
them to toss for Champagne—that they drank a great
deal of wine, and roamed about amongst the Iliffrreot
night houses, at one of which the srlicitor met with a
female, with whom he had much conversation; that •
row took place, and the solicitor was must active in
making the ring for the comha•ants. and that it was
after this exhibition the parse was missed.

be respectable.
Mr. ALLYN 11141 he did not think -himself justiied is
detaining the prisoners under sia.:ll circurnstan :es.
The prisoners declared most soleumly that Obey woahl

John White, convicted of being a rogue and vagabond.
and with falsely pretending that his tongue had been cut
our, underwent an examination on Saturday last, before
the Mayor and 31r. Alderman Floui, and was sen•euced

Paper.)
l'he two Poysers, who were convicted at Stant l As-
sizes of horse stealing, Irtve fur about two years been
engazed in stealing horses in different parts of Euglanil,
and have been in custody in various places, but always
contrived to evade justice. After having stolen ao:oe
valuable horses on one ocrasion, and the same being so
generally advertised as to render it dangerous to bring
them from the stable where they were concealed, they
sent a letter to Pace, an officer of Q reen-square Police,
to treat for the restoration of the animals to the ()wrier*
on honourable terms, at a set price, which being r•jez!-
ed, the horses actually had their throats cut• and were
boiled down for their tallow. The skins were afterwards
found in the place where the flesh was boiled, and were
in the custody of an officer to produce at the Assizes, had
that indictment been tried. It is supposed they had
stolen daring their career, not less than 200 horses.
