amongst the numbers of proms woo were present la
the Justice-room epos business or from cariosity.
A man of decent appearance named George Poolo,
was charged on Saturday last by a poulterer, who ear
sides in Little Bell-alley, with having stolen too
fowls, which lay rather exposed in the front of the
shop. An officer named Field bad observed the unfor-
tunate man looking about in agitation, and suspected
that his object was to snatch at something. The sow,
picioo was correct. The prisoner seised the two fowls
and walked away. The Ater followed sad secured
him. No attempt WAR made at escape, ear did the
prisoner attempt to deny the charge. Oa the contrary.
be stood calmly sad ackaowledged that he had taken
what he was not entitled to; hut he said be had a
wife aid throe children. at no great distance, starving;
and his wife was waiting at home in the vain hope
that lie wield take to bee as much money as would
give them one meal, aid pay for the burial of her
youngest infant, who had lain dead for some days.
The LORD MAYOR observed something in the con-
duct of the prisoner at the bar of the justice-room
which led him to give credit to his statement. ills
Lordship asked him why be was not at work, and whe-
ther he had not applied to his parish in so dreadfu. en
extremity as he had described.
The prisoner replied, that be hail in vain applied for
work, and that the parish upon which he bait a chin
(the parish of St. Luke) allowed him hnt 41. a week—
a sum which merely paid for his Indui nes.
'1 he LORD M•vott then directed rho the prisoner

fer from being exaggerated. The officer went al-medic
to the directions of Poole. to No. 1, New-row, at.
mel-street, Old-street-road, and learned that the (snail,
of the poor man were above stairs: upon going up.
he saw Mrs. Poole in a state of indescribable distress.
She had scarcely any clothes upon her: there was nei-
ther bed nor covering of any kind in the room. but
in a corner lay a few rags, is which he belicred

•The Lose Maven relieved the present wants of the
unfortunate person who so powerfully affected all 'resod
him, and desired him to state those facto to the parish
St. Luke, by which lament and abundant relief
