Neale, the officer, next preferred a charge against the
prisoner Nieto'', of stealing the pocket of a lady named
Milk, residing at No!fil, Oxford Street. The officer

pockets, containing her purse, in which were six sore-
reigns and twelve shillings in silver, haul been cut from
her, and that the robber was then in the gallery, dressed
In a brown great coat. Ile, from the description, guessed
it was Mason, having seen him enter the house, and im-
mediately took him into custudy,when Mrs.M. recognized
him to be the fellow that robbed her. Unfortunately
the lady was not present to speak to that fact, btu 0 was
notorious that Mason was an expert thief, and had been
more than once tiitol.
