dence. They succeeded in extracting
the wallet of gentleman from his pOck
ct, containing $3.50 in bills of the Uni
ted States bank; and although he had
slight perception of the operation, and
turned Immediately round to discover the
villain, it was impossible to fix with ccr-
tainty upon any one of several persons
who had been crowding behind him, no
doubt with perfect understanding OF the
part each was to act. The wallet was a
brown leather one, having upon it the
name of the owner-George +. Coles.
Most of the bills were Of the mother
bank. Three were Sl00's, the rest
S5O's and S2O's. Y. Journal Of Com.
LOWELL TnEATRE.--A prosecution
took place at Lowell last week, of seve-
raj persons concerned in getting up the
atrical exhibitions in that town without n
license from the town authorities, and
contrary to the provisions Of the statute.
! The examination Of Mr. Andrews, one Of
the play actors, was concluded on Thurs
! day of last week. The Judge decided,
that he should be bound over in the pen
al sum of $3.50, with one surety for the
same amount, to appear at the Court of
Common Pleas at Concord, on the sec
ond Monday in September, to answer to
the charge brought against him under the
/ vagrant act. This decision appears to
have the desired effect to discourage any
further attempts to perform in Lowell in
7 violation of the law and public sentiment, !,
and Mr.. Barrett, the Manager, deter
mined to close the theatre. Messrs.
Barrett, Smith and Williamson were dis
charged by the Court, without trial, the
prosecutor having declined to pursue the
complaint against them in consc-
qucnce of the winding up Of the theatre.
1t is supposed no further proceedings will
take place against Andrews. The ques-
ton was not as to the morality Of thcat-
rical exhibitions, but Of the supremacy Of
the laws.
We understand, says tho N Y. Com
