PETTY SESSIONS.

Monday. (Before R. Oakes, Esq., in the chair, C. Spencer, and E. Tickner, Esqrs.)

Sarah Pocock was taken up on suspicion of stealing two zinc pipe light stands from the premises of Mr. Taylor, of the "Trafalgar," West-street. It appeared she offered something of a similar character for sale at a marine store dealer’s named Forester, in Church-street, but he would not buy, and the things were not found afterwards. Discharged with a caution.
