A Thief IN THE CHARACTER OF A PRIVATE
WATCHMAN.-William Smith has for some time
past been acting as private Waterman at Fourth

this man be true, he is 1, Llet 1pecimen to

above Cherry, in order to obtain drink While
the pair were in the tavern, Smith, it is alleged
took Sc and gold watch from the countryman.

larceny of number of articles from the esta-
blishment of John Barnet, on Fifth street, above
