To Mr Cooper: Persuaded piisonerto give witness the lancets. He did not s-ay where he fouud the case. Saw him the next morning in Wakeiield-street, aud asked him where he got tbe instruments. tie said, as before, he found them. On the evening of Sunday prisoner offered to give him the tobacco, and wanted the luticc back. Told hitn that his father bad it, and would not, give it up. Prisoner did not mention Mr Hitch-mi' name.? *\ifs_st Constable Robert K. Jones gave evidence as to tho arrest of prisoner. Went to Mr Baker on lire 23rd hit. to enquire about the lancet. Went to prisoner's house; saw him and bis mother together. Charged him with stealing the instruments belouging to Mr kitchens. He deuicd tbc accusation and burst into tears. He then said, " what about the lance you sold to Willie Baker." He said he found it in Wakeiield-street. Mr Munro them came in, and he told him that his son was suspected of the iatceuy. His father questioned him closely, and the boy confessed to stealing tbe case, and that it was at the back of the house. They went out together, and found the case and instrument.-, excepting two, iv the place where the boy had secreted them. Mr Pardy sad he did not wish to call the father, whose conduct throughout was ot a most commendable character. As soon as be was aware of the larceny, he did all in his power to assist tho police. He might say that if i)arent3 geuerally acted iv the 1 same manner, there would be fewer larcenies by juveniles. Mr Cooper then addressed the Court on the evidence, and submitted that ho could show by Mr Monro's evidence that the in strument- were found iv Mr Hitchen's stable, andurged that it was.boyish curiosity which prompted to tbe coinmisiion of the offence, and the Bench could not do better, should he pk'ad guilty, than dismiss the case and allow the boy to go home with his father, who, as had been shown, was a conscientious man who wished to do what was right. The depositions were then read over, aud, by the advice of Mr Cooper, the prisoner pleaded guilty.
