Son of Richard Alexander, carpenter, Covent Garden.
Indicted for stealing 2 hats, value 14s.; 2 umbrellas, 5s.; and 1 pair of gloves, 1s.; the goods of Thomas Spencer; and that he had been before convicted of felony.
THOMAS HANSLOW (police-constable F 10.) I produce a certificate of the prisoner’s former conviction, which I got from Mr. Clark’s office—(read—Convicted the 8th of May, 1843, and confined six months)—he is the person—he has been in custody four times since that.
