SHAKsPEABE MODERSIzED.--A few days since a
seedy loafer, who despite bis blossomy and
tatiered garb showed faint traces of better days,
was arTalgned upon charge of having stolen
hundred dollars from miserly old man. The cir
cunstances of the theft and capture we're too con-
elusive 10 admit Of any denial on the part of the
prisoner. who, to the surprise of all 10 the court
room, put in plea Of guilty in the following
words
Most sspient, shrewd and ever just recorder
Thou very knowing and astute official,
That have taen away this old mans greenbscks
IL is most true; true have stolen them.
The very head and front of my regret is
There we're no more. Light am | OF touch,
And skilled in taking all within my reach.
For since these claws Of mine had five parts pith
Till six months come September, they have used
Their dearest action in the WorkhOuse shop.
But little on that subject can | speak
More than pertains 10 meats of broil and stew,
And therefore little shall | help my cause
BY speaking Of myself. Yet by your leave,
will round unvsrnshed tale deliver
OF my. whole course Of crime; what thefts, what
larcenies,
What populations, and what burglaries,
(FOr such proceedings am charged withal,l
won these greenbacks with.
The old man knew me yes, he spotted me,
And seemed to wonder what was about,
From day to day. The lodges, runs and hidings
That have had.
I checked it through, from where / first did see
him.
Even TO the very moment when | robbed him,
knew 'twss counting most disastrous chances
OF moving of 10 yOnder Black Maria,
of hair cropped close, of prison coat and breeches
OF being taken by the nsolvent iailor
And put TO labor. Yet, in spite of these,
To steal that cash seriously inclined;
But still the old man lowered round the spot,
And ever as he'd turn his back to 90,
He'd come again, and with a greedy look
Admire his treasured cash. Which | observing,
Took once plant hour, and found good means
Which he in packages had boarded up,
But not successfully. i then cleared out.
And round neighboTing corner disappeared,
Laughing the while at the successful stroke
Which had made. His money being gone,
He gave me for my pains world Of search.
He swore il was a shame, devilish shame;
Twas pitiful. twas wondrous ptiful.
He wished he had not lost it, yet he wished
By heaven that he could do the same; he
cursed me,
And bade policemen, if they did but love him,
10 find the thief and bring his money back,
And he'd reward them. On this offer |,
Grown daring by he dangers | had passed,
Went straight to him to claim the recompense;
And hence, your honor, here you see me now.
SECOND MEETING OF THE CREDITORS OF JACOB
banner, IN BAkKRUPTCY.-The second meeting of
the creditors of Jacob Barker was held yesterday
afternoon in the United States District Courtroom.
There was quite large crowd present, among
whom we're a number Of ladies. The register in
bankruptcy, Mr. Deane, gave detailed account
OF The gross expenditures and receipts of the es-
tate of Jacob Barker, but owing to the incom.
pleteness of the returns, the register ordered
that third meeting take place within ten days.
Altogether the meeting was very unsatisfactory
TO creditors, as wai evinced by remarks made by
many present.
