picking Kr. Irvin's pocket at the depot, were
sent to the penitentiaiy this morning, to serve
out their sentence of two yawl, The biggest
rascal 'Of 'the 'tlire.e t Langley,'lvho iiras - also
corivieted of the;ciffenge; but granted t a mew
trial, goes " scott free." The.evidenee being
conflicting as regards his identity, his counsel
prevailed' on the court to grant him a new
trial; as soon as this .waS accomplished the
court reduced his bail to.one thousand dollars,
which was tendered very coon thereafter, and
that is the last we shall hear of him.
Since his escape from the clutches of the
law, his confederates in crime who were left
to suffer, have made full confessions of their
crime,' and' acknowledged thernselies guilty
of the offence for which they were convicted.
Langley, it appears was the leader of .'a regu
lar gang of pickpockets, 'and has already
served live years at Sing Sing in the New
York penitentiary, under the name of Allen,
and hawas also; ncarcerated in the Philadel
:phia prison for three months on suspicion of
'being a pickpocket. We presume that he will
avoid this-city, at least lei , awhile:- The other
two have also been arretit4 bn various occa
sions but have avoided conviction heretofore
by giving , bail • for-theirappearance at cbtirt,
which was;afterwards forfeited. In this case,
the bail demanded, five thousand dollars, was
too much diem - and herice'the' conviction.
Out of some dozen pickpockets arrested here,'
but two or,,three have ever been convicted,
the others having escaped by thebail procesa.
