oad to Harlem, and down the
road to Yorkville, and you'll soon go to destruction. We shall send you
to Sing Sing for two years each; and when you come out, take your
mother's maiden name, and lead a good life, and don't eat any more
beef--I mean, don't steal any more beeves--Go to the next.

Luke Staken was arraigned.

_Recorder_.--Staken, you slept in a room with Lahay, and stole all his
gold (1000 dollars). This sleeping in rooms with other people, and
stealing their things, is a serious offence, and practised to a great
extent in this city; and what makes the matter worse, you stole one
thousand dollars in specie, when specie is so scarce. We send you to
Sing Sing for five years.

Jacob Williams was arraigned. He looked as if he had not many days to
live, though a young man.

_Recorder_. Williams, you stole a lot of kerseymere from a store, and
ran off with it--a most pernicious crime! But, as your health is not
good, we shall only send you to Sing Sing for three years and six

John H Murray was arraigned.

_Recorder_. Murray, you're a deep fellow. You got a Green Mountain boy
into an alley, and played at "shuffle and burn," and you burned him out
of a hundred dollars. You must go to Sing Sing for five years; and we
hope the reputable reporters attending for the respectable public press
will warn our respectable country friends, when they come into New York,
not to go into Orange street, and play at "shuffle and burn" among bad
girls and bad men, or they'll very likely get burnt, like this Green
Mountain boy.--Go to the next.

William Shay, charged with shying glasses at the head of a
tavern-keeper. Guilty.

_Recorder_. This rioting is a very bad crime, Shay, and deserves heavy
punishment; but as we understand you have a wife and sundry little
Shays, we'll let you off, provided you give your solemn promise never to
do so any more.

_Shay_. I gives it--wery solemnly.

_Recorder_. Then we discharge you.

_Shay_. Thank your honour--your honour's a capital judge.

John Bowen, charged with stealing a basket. Guilty.

_Recorder_. Now, John, we've convicted you; and you'll have to get out
stone for three months on Blackwell's Island--that's the judgment of the
court.

Buckley and Charles Rogers, charged with loafing, sleeping in the park,
and leaving the gate open, were discharged, with a caution to take care
how they interfered with corporation rights in future, or they would get
