PICKPOCKETS AT THE RACES.

ANOTHER EXPERT NABBED.

At the Magistracy, before Mr. J. R. Wood this morning, a Chinese was charged with picking the pocket of Captain Thiriwell in the "D.AJ.” stand on the last day of the races and extracting a wallet containing $30 in notes.

The defendant denied the charge and said he had never been to the race course. He was a hawker in Canton and came down to make some purchases. He did not pick Captain Thirlwell's pocket.
