Another Police Indictment.

James Rickes was charged with stealing, on the 9th March last, a quantity of dung or manure, the property Mr. Robert Fill, of the "Sun inn."

Mr. Robert Fill having been called, said he knew nothing of the transaction. The policeman called upon him and said he had taken a man into custody for stealing some dung from the Sun yard.

The policeman Spratt was then called:— He said that between six and seven o’clock on the morning of the 9th of March, he saw the prisoner turn into the "Sun-yard" and bring away a large armful of dung, which had been cleared out of the stable. He put it into his cart, which was standing in Guildhall-street, and then proceeded down the street. Policeman took him into custody, and, with his cart, conveyed him to the Station-house. No conversation passed between them on the way to the Station-house.

Robert Fill re-called:— Saw the dung at the Station-house. He could form no idea of its value. It was of very little value. He did not know that he should have liked to give more than sixpence for it.

The prisoner in his defence said, he was going down Guildhall-street with his cart, he saw as he passed the "Sun-yard," which is a thoroughfare, a little dung lying. He took it up in his arm and threw it into his cart, he thought he was doing no harm. He saw the policeman standing at the corner of the street when he went into the yard and when he came out.

Spratt being recalled, said the prisoner saw him when he came out of the yard only. He did not draw back when he saw him. He put the dung into the cart very deliberately, and proceeded on without manifesting any thing in particular. The dung had been seen by him before the prisoner took it away. It was lying near the stable-door.

Not guilty.

The worthy host supplied the company with an excellent repast of old English fare, served up in his customary first rate style. After the removal of the cloth, the usual toasts having been drunk, the health of "uncle" was rapturously received, and acknowledged with excellent effect by the worthy subject of the toast. The day was passed in the spirit and conviviality of the olden time.
