STEALING WEARING APPAREL. - On Saturday, at the Leeds Court House, a dissolute fellow, named Michael Foster, was committed for trial at the borough sessions for stealing a pair of trousers, a satin waistcoat, and a handkerchief, the property of his brother, a cloth dresser, living in the neighbourhood of Meanwood Road. The prisoner, who was said to have never worked for the last nine months, had been living in the same house as his brother, and had pledged the articles in qustion[sic] in order to obtain drink.
