COTTON LN INDIA. MANCHESTER, FEB. 10. The annual meeting of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce and manufactures took Owe this morning. and tl'sugh some portion of the proceedingot was of a re trospective character, and had reference to suhjecta which have elm eel, engaged public attention, the testimony home by the president to the suctesafial working of free. trade memoir's, and the statements of Mr. Ashworth, will be read with int rest. Mr. HAZLEY, the president of the Chamber, in taking the chair, said 7-4.10 ntlemen,—Your dinctors have con cluded their labours for the mat Year, and performed those I duties which you impowd upon item. hey are prepared to lay bef de you a report of their proceeding., which I trust will he acceptable to era. and a Iti wini. to you the can and attention which ihme have Ix-stowed upon the in interests of this thamlar, and of the cocumunity at large.

This KW was resumed this morning, when the following WitatlON were called. M. George E. Monkey examined by Mr. Peacock, Q.C. —I stated yesterday that I handed a paper to the registrar of enstoros. This is it. I afterwards got it back again, and then I handed it to Mr. Randall. This is the original paper. It is the consolidated return. Crass-examined by Sir F. Thesiger. — l had No. 2 in ray hand when I led into the box. The other came from the counsel. I called on Mr. Holmes in reply to his note in July last. I think that Mr. Holmes did not say to me, " If you . Rave roe that paper originally, how did you get it back again." 1 heti. ve I said that I came for it. I got it hack from him as I bad been desired to do so. Mr. Holmes said he did not recollect ever having seen any such paper. I went for it two or three days after I had delivered the paper ; it was then that I went to get it back again. Re-examined by Sir F. Kelly—l gave the paper to Mr. Holmes about the beginning of February. I had received it from Mr. Randall, and I returned it to that gentleman after I had received it from Mr. Holmes. By the jury—l had delivered similar papers to the registrar of Custom. for the time being, not any to Mr. Meknes before that. I am not aware that he kept any entry of the receipt of the paper. Richard Randall examined by Sir F. Kelly —I am in spector of the London Dodo. The course pur s ued by the dories when there arc any sweepings sufficient for exporta tion is this. I send to the different warehouses for a re turn of such sweepings as the warehouse-keeper may have ready to he disposed of. In due course of time I re ceive from the deputy warehouse keeper a return of what they have got ready. Having got those returns I send them to be consolidated by Mr. Williams the chief colonial sampler. lie in due course returns me " the consolidated return." Then I have it copied, which copy . is given by hand to the manifest clerk. I keep the original, and he has to take the copy to the customs department. lie then reports that the goods have been weighed and tared. LS hen that process has been gone through, and they are ready for exportation, an application is then made to the Board of Customs for permission to export the goods, which permission being obtained the goods are exported. la this articular ease I sent for the returns in October, 1849. 1 sent to the eastern dock as well as the others, and received a return about the 20th of October, 1849. I kept it until the 30th of November, 1849, when I sent all the returns to Mr. Williams to have them "consolidated." I am certain that the return front the Eastern Dock was one of thoee returns, Mr. Williams afterwards sent me " the consolidated return." This is that return. I received it the latter part of December, 1849. I did not receive from him at that time the return,. which I had sent to him until March, 1830, about the time some of the seizures had been ide, hut by some accident they have been mislaid. That is, all the returns from which this consolidated return has been made have been mislaid. I cannot find any of these. paper. now. This return, No. 2, was prepared and made out by me, and I Five it to Mr. Hookey, for the pur poor of his making the usual application to the Board of Customs. It must have been sent to the Customs in the early part of February. It is called " the cnneoll-1 dated return of warehouse sweepings." I afterwards found that there were other sweepings that had not been taken into account, and therefore I told Mr. Hooker to obtain a return of the account, so that those other goals might lie added to it. Mr. Hockey got it back, and gave it to me a few days after I had previously handed it to him. Crewe-examined by Sir F. Thedger—After the return, have been reduced into the " consolidated return" I do not receive them back, but in the present instance, in cense eiuence of one of the eeizures having been made, 1 sent for them. We never export anything except the ports are opened at Hamburg. We never make any preparations for exports until about March. We cannot export except by perrahoion of the Beard of Customs. I made no addi tion to this return atter I received it bark front Mr. Hookey in consequence of the seizures having been made. I don't know to what amount the additions would have gone to had they been made. By the Court—There was no return of theme other sweep ings made at all, nor is there any entry of any part of them anywhere. The geode always remain until the usual return is sat for. By Sir F. Thesiger—Mr. Wickes was the deputy ware bous. -keeper at the Eastern Dock. The return was made by him to me. I added this "&c." before I gave it to Mr. Monkey, because when I made the comparison of the ac counts I found there were some items marked as to certain ships. I thought then that theae might not be " sweepings." There was in one instance a ball of flex which was entered as from the ship l'omons. That I could not regard as ',wee:plop, and therefore I inserted the word " &e.," to show that all the goods in the return were not simply sweepings." I have never seen this paper marked No. 3 before. It is an abstract of the others, and dues not contain the namee of any ships. The sweepings of all parts of the docks are enteral in this book. By the jury—lt has been the custom for the last ten years to make these returns. We have sent flax to Hamburg. It was not my duty to examine any of these goods. It does not appear a large quantity now nor then. Mr. William Wickes examined by Sir F. Kelly—l am deputy warehouse-keeper. 1 made a return on the 23th October laxt, and compared it with the book, and it was a correct return. I sent it to Mr. Randall. This return We eludes 20 of the ZS casks of sugar afterwards seized. Coaaexamined by the Solicitor-General—This book contains an account of all goods which the company intend to export. I think there was an exportation in 1818. If there was a return made in 1,•18, it would appear by the book. I had been senior clerk before, and I became deputy Wis houseman in 1848. Ibi liter there was a return made kr exportation in Nov.. 180. There has been a return oaths 27th of the eleventh month, according to that book. I think that is Mr. Derne's handwriting. I never noticed the si b•niti"n in the book from 1816 to 1841. It appears to me to be 181.5. I have not the enema of knowing whether the returns by the foreman were correct. The casks were tilled at different times. The weights are not taken until the completion of the whole. An the overdrawings memo- kited the casks were tilled. I east up the account the day I I made the return. I should ours' that we had no more than the 20 casks at that time. When I signed that book 1 there were 20 casks uo doubt weighed. I cannot my whether " 1849" was in the book when I signed it. That is the only book I know of. There is no hook called the store book kept lie the company, con taining the cooks of the company. I presume there is a honk in which the caske are entered he the coopers. Re-examined—The figures 1849 are ilente's handwriting. By a Juror—The;caeks were brought as they accumulated. By Sir F. Kelly —I N't the casks are packed at the time the operation take. place. Mr. William Herne, examined by Sir F. Kelly—l am housing foreman of the Eastern Dock. I was called on to make a return to the Customs in October, 1849, of goods to he exported by the Duck Company. This is my return (a book handed to witness.) These 20 casks are part of the 20/ (asks seized be the Custom.. I altered this from " 1845." to " 1844." It in only the heading of a page. and has nothing to do with the return. It is the date of no trans action. I recollect making the alteration. I altered this also from 1816 to 1941. i wan entry of four casks of .ugur. The Customs inspected them, and they were ex giorted. In May, 1844, there was one cask of sugar ex ported before then. Cosesexamined by . the Solicitor-General—The dates of each transaction are irrespective of that altered date. I had no motive in making the alteration. The '2O casks include 18441, 1817. Is4B, and 1849, excepting the four casks. The overdrawing. came from various sources. The whole of the 20 maks came from the inclined plane, anti was com posed of the overdrawing, and what came from the sample table—the spilling.—the collection of sugars from the broken package, in the operation of landing—loose sugar collected in various parts of the warehouse. Much sugar escape, when we arc working much—less, less. I have no means of making the calculation of bow much escapes from a bag. We don't weigh the cults when we make them up. Mr. Webb was the cooper's name. I don't know when I made the alterations in the date from 184.5 to 1844. They were not altered within the last twelve months. This hoop has not always been kept by me. I am in the employ of the Dock Company eince 1840. 'became warehouaeman m 1843.1 Re-examined—Benjamin, who was my predecessor, is deed. By the Jury—All clean sugar was at the inclined plane. Mr. Randall-1 put this order for consolidation into Willis's hands. It ts dated Nov. 30. 1849. Mr. John Wm. Pace examined lee Mr. Peacock, Q.C.—' I am warehouse-keeper of No. 3, North Quay. I recollect the seizure last March of 13 bars of cocoa in that ware hallo:. It was at room 16, which was used for the stowage' of geode and for bad picking cocoa. It is my duty to super intend the berthing of ships. the working of cargoes, and the homing of them. It is the deputy-warehouse-keeper's duty to superintend the bulking of ceiods. Mr. Spence was the deputy.wareholue keeper of my warehouse. I remember a cargo of cocoa housed from the Horthurgh. There was• deficiency arising entirely from escape in three bags of cocoa. The Horsburgh•cargo was housed in June. 1848. A great number of bags had been delivered at trarima times. The cocoa came from Ouriatel. South America. There was a lot of dirty stuff offered me by Mr. Oldham or Mr. Browne, which 1 rejected. The floors of the wars house are owe pt every day. Decidedly no coma was taken from the pile for the company.

We should not go to tbrit =ine corner to make up a bag, bat a deficiency we so. I should report it to the espeeintendeat THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 13, 1851. there am gm indite bag wanted. Three bags of the Bore- I burgh cargo were found deficient. Mr. Browne then ordered 10 beg, to be brought and weighed, and they were found to be 2 lb. heavier than they were described. I put I cwt. in each scale board, and ultimately discovered that it was deficient. It was 1 lb. 6 ounces short. The customs seized it. I have been 23 rears in the company's service, and have been rather better than six years warehouse-keeper. I never allowed anything better than sweepings to be used as such. There were 680 bags weighed by the customs, and 3 bags of sweepings from them. I have received a gratuity (ruin the customs. I received the last one in 1819. It was for overtime, 301., and had no reference to sweepings. Crass-examined by Mr. Watom, Q.C.—The deficient weight was kept inside the warehouse. My badness was outside. Ido swear that none of the thirteen bags were original. They vary in weight from 1 ewt. to 11 ewt. no warehouse I speak of is not entirely for cocoa. 193 lb. of pepper was found in a pile of coffee. I can't say how it I came there. ..sanuned—lt was seized on the 3rd of June. I was not present when the pepper was found, but I saw it there. Cocoa gains in weight ui wet weather and loses in dry. By a juror—There are empty hags and casks at the ware house. We leave the marks on when we till them with sweepings. William Day examined by Mr. Macaulev, Q.C.—I am foreman of No. 3 warehouse. I have been 16 years in the company's warehouse. AU the time in the Milne warehouse. I remember the seizure which took place at No. 16 room. There were 13 bags there. There were 2 bags of clean cocoa, 4 bags of clean cocoa, i bags of clean cocoa and 2 bags not clean. That was the room where the picking had been carried on. That room had been used fur hand picking about seven years. The 11 clean bags had been made clean. A man named Freer, Weeding and Collins were employed cleaning that cocas. They had been above a twelvemonth employed in picking it. lam quite sure that' the cocoa was all sweepings. If there appeared to be a bag short we let them go without. (Laughter.) I never knew of a bag being taken from another pile. I never heard or knew of an ex cess being taken away instead of its being brought to the scale. They are alwart brought to the scale. It would be the warehouse-keeper's duty to report to the Customs. I have hid no gratuity. I get 265. a week. Cross-examined by the Solieitor-General—l think I have signed no papers on the subject of these transactions. I have signed one or two papers about thismatter. That was about three weeks ago. I signed papers before that. IWU sent for to the warehouse-keeper's of I don't know who called on me to sign the paper. I signed a paper in pre sence of Mr. Pace. I cannot say in whose writing it was. I had never seen the paper before I signed it. I did not read it before I signed it. I signed both papers at the same place. I did not sign it because If 1 refused to sign it I should be dismissed from my employ. Mr. Pate prepared it for me and read it. I believe there were ethers present to sign at the same time. By the Court-1 had not the least idea that the gentleman referred to those papers. Cross-examination continued—They have the marks and numbers on the bags when they put sweepings into them. We sew up the mouths of hags with the company's twine. At times we find a bag missing. I have uo recollection of its occurring more than once fur twelve months. I have not missed a bag for two years. I base never taken a bag out of another lot. I have sometimes sent one number for another. I don't remember that there were more than two occasions that bags were missing, and we found them next day. We never had an instance of a bag being missing and never turning up. We take no sweepings front bulking and repacking. They go to the merchant's cargo. I can swear that before last March I never took any sweepings from cocoa after bulking or repacking. Ite-examined am sure I signed two papers. There was no threat used before I signed them. It was true what I signed. By the Court—l never knew any instance where the quantity turned out on the floor would not go back. My warehouse waa the place where the greater part of the cocoa business is done. Cocoa, with one exception, always came to my warehouse in hags. That one exception was in 1,848. There was one half of the cargo in bulk. There were 4,000 odd bags. That part in bulk was put into bags and ,wid. The per was then put in, and mad. It was as follows : "%I. Williams is requested to consolidate these accounts, which are all complete excepting from No. 1 warehouse, East Quay, No. I and .5, which I will find in a day or two; also to draw out a list of such goods as he consolers de sirable to export, and what had better be sold in the com pany's forthcoming rummage sale.

The first count charged the pri soners with causing the death of the deceased, Mary Ann rayons, by striking her with a stick ; the second charged the infliction of various blows between the months of Nov., 1849. and Jan., 1850 ; the third imputed various beatings ion divers days during that period ; the fourth charged va rious blows inflicted by a sack ; and the sth and 6th by casting her on the ground. The counsel fur the crown opened all the above assaults. It was proved on the trial that death was caused by one particular blow ; but there being no evidence to scow by whom that blow had been inflicted, the learned judge directed all acquittal. At the last summer assizes they were indicted on a charge of assault, whoa they pleaded autrefois acquits, which plea was traversed. Evidence was adduced of the various assaults, but it was opened on behalf of the crown, that there was another assault than those included in the indictment at the first trial. The learned Commissioner, (Mr. Russell Gurney) told the jury that if they were of opinion that any one of the assault, was not included in the first in dictment it would be their duty to find for the crown. The question mainly turned on the construction of the Ilth sec tion of the statute (1 Vic. c. 8.5), which permitted the jury to find a prisoner guilty of assault in a trial for felony. He was of opinion that the prisoners might have been convicted of the assault. The jury acquitted of the felony, and the evidence clearly warranted a conviction of wank. It therefore appeared to him that the ease came within the meaning of the statute and the intention of the legislature. At the common law a miSslemeanour could not he included in the same indictment with a felony; and it was the aim of the legislature to prevent the escape of persons who, from some defect of evidence or otherwise, might be acquitted of the charge of felony, but against whom there might be evidence of guilt of the misdemeanour. The true criterion was this—was the assault charged on the face of the indictment, and was it part of the offence sup ported by the evidence? If it fell within either of these categories, it was, in his opinion, an offence within the meaning of the statute. The learned Baron then referred in detail to the three principal cases cited in the course of the argument, the" Queen v. Phelps," the "Queen v. Crompton," and the "Queen v. Birch." The latter case was in point, and the decision of the judges was unanimous, and he felt himself bound by that decision. Holding these views, he was of opinion that the conviction on the second indictment was wrong. Mr. Justice Talfourd reviewed at some length the autho rities cited in the argument. Holding as he did that the legislature could never have intended to invest judges with the large discretion necessarily involved under the inter hretation which had been made of the statute, he still ad ered to the opinion he had expressed at the trial, that the prisoner could not be convicted of assault. And holding that opinion, he was eonsequentl7 of opinion that the con viction at the second trial was valid. . . Justices Creswell and Williams severally expressed their opinion that, on the same grounds, the conviction was right. Justices Erie and Wightman, who spoke in a very low tone of voice, were understood. in the course of very long judgments, to adopt the same line of argument. They con curred in opinion that the conviction was valid. The Lord Chief Baron, with the permission of the court, neat delivered his opinion. He was not surprised that there should be considerable difference of opinion amongst his learned brethren relative to the construction of a statute framed in such general terms. and which introduced an anomaly into the law. The distinction between a felony and a misdemeanour was as old as the law itself. The statute in question did not abolish the distinction, but has given in very general terms power to convict of assault on acquittal of felony, where the former is included in the latter charge. He thought it could not be matter of sur prise that there should be a great difference of opinion as to the application of a statute framed in each general terms to a number of cases, each differing so greatly from the other. He entirely agreed with the doctrine laid down by Dir. Justice Patteson, in the case of the " Queen r. St. George (9 Carrington and Payne, 293), that it was only when the assault was contained in the principal charge of felony, that on acquittal of the charge of felony the jury might convict of the assault. It appeared to him contrary to the principles that have ' always heretofore been observed in the administration of the criminal law, that a person who might be gnilty of a common assault only could, by the general interpretation of this statute, on a charge for murder, be con- , , victed of an assault which would subject him to three years' imprisonment, with or without hard la bour. lie was of opinion that the offence charged in the tint indictment did not include these assaults, and therefore that the prisoners were properly convicted in the ease now , before the court. He had felt much difficulty in coming to • a decisive opinion on this subject. He had been in some I measure led to that result by the consideration that this , statute was manifestly a departure from the principles of the common law. When any doubt was entertained ou the interpretation of a statute, he thought it was right to stand brim common law. Lord Chief Justice Jervis wu clearly of opinion that the conviction wu wrong. There was no option left to the jury I to convict of assault or not ; and in all cases in which the 1 statute applied the prisoners were in jeopardy. The act i was compulsory, and in his opinion it would he a dangerous i course to speculate on the motives of the legislature, espe cially where the word, of the enactment were so clear as they were in the present statute. lie was of opiuion that the conviction was wrong, and that the prisoners were en titled to judgment, on the plea of autrefois acquit. Mr. Justice Mettle was of opinion that the prisoners might have been convicted of as cult on the charge of felony. The present conviction was therefore bad. Mr. Justice Coleridge said though his mind was not free from doubt, he was, under all the circumstances, of opi nion that the present conviction was right. Mr. Just ice l'atteson could not distinguish between this and the Cale of the " Queen v. Phelps." The verdict of assault would depend on the nature of the indictment and the evidence adduced to support it. The prisoner could nut be convicted of an assault not included in the felony. lie was, therefore, of opinion that the conviction was right. Mr. Baron Alderson was of opinion that the conviction was wrong. Mr. Baron Parke said the difficulty solely arose from the enlargement by this statute of the plain, intelligible rules of the common law. Ile thought the proper construction of the statute was that laid down in the "Queen T. Binh," and that it ought to be abided by. To bring a cat,• within the statute, the charge of assault should be part and parcel of the felny. He was of opinion that the conviction was wrong. Lord Campbell, after long and anxious consideration of this ease, was of opinion that the former trial was a bar to the present conviction. He should deeply regret the escape of of•nders, still justice demanded that the forms of judicial roc, dure should be strictly preserved. In Vie present case it was not a technicality, but a sacred maxim of the law, that no man could be twice imperilled on the same charge. lie was of opinion that the conviction ought to be quashed. But, as a majority of his learned brethren held a different opinion, the conviction must be affirmed, and judgment will be given at the next assizes for the county of Devon. At the same time he trusted he might, without any impropriety, OIJOreW a hope that the legislature will, as speedily as possible, take steps to explain or repeal au enactment which led to t so much confusion. t The conviction of the prisoners was, therefore, by a ma r jority of the court, affirmed. BLOOMSBURY COUNTY COURT.—YEsrzaDAT. llEra.. I). 1). Hamm Erik CAIWZX T. ROPER.—A BARRNTER PASTRYCOOK. This was an action brought by the plaintiff*, against the defendant, hon. secretary to the Distressed Needlewomen's Society, to recover WI. Ids., alleged to be due ter use and oceupotion. Plaintiff is proprietor of the house No. 5, Rathbone. place, in which, about two years ago, he let a suite of rooms and shop to defendant, ut 40/. per annum, the shop being used by the hitter as the office of the Distressed Neetllevromen's Society. The defendant subsequently falling into difficulties became an inmate of Whitecross street Prison, from whence, _on his release, he sought the plaintiff, and was re - accepted as a tenant of the KUme apart ments, at 11. Is. a week, that including the use of furniture. On the 24th of July last a summons was taken out by plaintiff for the above amount, and on the 3rd of the following month his agent, named Southgate, by his direc tion called upon defendant fur the rent due, 7 1 . 7 5.: of which was paid to hint. The case at this court still went on. and by its prom ...allows the defendant was ejected the premixes, and had since been again insolvent, the present being a new trial. In answer to his solicitor, the defendant caused much MOTTilliellt by stating that, in addition to his practice as a barrister, the plaintiff had started the business of pastry cook, in which line he had opened the shop in Ruthbone place. The plaintiff could nut deny that he had done su, but received no benefit therefrom, he allowing the female who conducted it to keep all the profit. (Laughter.) Ili, Honour observed that the transactions between the parties seemed almost inexplicable, but the plaintiff send ing for 71. is., after summoning defendant for Iffi. 19s. im pressed hint with the idea that that was all he considered due to him. Ills judgment would, therefore, be for 71. 7,, from which would be deducted the 71. 25., leaving him only to receive ss. WHITECHAPEL COUNTY COURT.-YESTERDAY. Baru'', Ma.

The plaintiffs in this case each deposittsl 15/. in the hands of defendant, as money staked on the result of a fight which was to take place between two men named Tyler and Abraham. The fight, which came off near Longreach, was disturbed by the authoritie,,, but Tyler was &eland the winner. When called on to give up the money, Vile declined, alleging that the whole thing was a sell. In the end, as neither depositor could get his money, the present action was brought. Vile said that the money sued for being for anillegni con sideration, it was not within the jurisdiction of the court. His Honour said he would obese him the law on that point, and ordered defendant to pay both the plaintiffs before leaving the court. CILILLINOWOHTIL v. PARKIINIC—DRTAINING TUE FI:NDEI OP A BENEFIT SOCIETY.. The plaintiff in this action was the minister of a religious sect in the north of England, and the defendant was until lately one of his deacons. The action was brought to recover Mt 104., balance of money entrusted to his care as steward to a benefit club connected with his ministry. Evidence of a satisfactory nature having been given chewing that the defendant had had the money and applied it to his own use, The defendant began a long defence of thieving, wresting scripture texts to serve his purpose. His arguments failed, to convince his Honour, who interrupted him with the rueu tion of Whitecross-street prison, whereupon defendant took , out a roll of bank notes and paid the debt. THE POLICE COURTS. GUILDHALL. COAL CASEA.—Henry .41kn, a coal dealer, in Weld street, Lineohia-inn-flelds, was charged by John Harwood, the inspietor of weights and measures for the eastern parts of the City, who stated that on the 6th instant he saw a van laden with a ton of coals in the care of a lad. There war no machine under the waggon, and on asking for the ven dor's ticket, he found that none had been made out. Alderman Wilsuu asked defendant if lie, being the seller, had produced his son, the driver. Defendant said he did not suppose it was necessary, and had therefore appeared to answer the charge himself. Alderman Wilson desired him to state what answer he had to make. Defendant said his business was to move furniture, and he did not do much in the coal trade ; so little, indeed, that he did not know a ticket or weights were necessary. Alderman Wilson said however little defendant might do in the coal trade, it was scarcely to be believed that he did not know what everybody else was well aware of. It was his duty to know the law that regulated his trade, and he, therefore, tined him 10s. for not sending out a machine, 10s. for not delivering a vendor's ticket, 10s. for the carman in respect to the machine, and 10s. costs, making in all. Thomas Webb, a small jobbing carman, was summoned for delivering half a ton of coals at Mr. P rime's, , in Camo mile-street, without a ticket or machine. Mr. Harwood stated the case. The man said he had given the ticket to Mr. Prime,who declined saying whether he had a ticket or not. Mr. Prime submitted that defend ant was not answerable, as he employed him to buy half a ton of coals, paying him ; merely fur the cartage. Alderman I% ilson said if defendant worked his cart for hire, and undertook to carry coals, he must conform to the law respecting the carriage of that commodity. Ile there fore tined defendant ss. fur each offence, with lls. coda. WORSIIIP-STREET. EITINSIVE SILK iiollßEßY.—Charks 'AMC'S Wood. a young man of respectable appearance, was charged on sus picion of having been concerned with others not in custody in stealing upwards of sewt. of raw and manufactured silk, of the value of 650/. the property of his employer, Mr. John Edmonds, a silk manufacturer in Fort-street, Spital fields. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner had been about six years in his service as foreman and general assistant in the warehouse, and he had always entertained the highest opinion with regard to his integrity and uniform propriety of conduct until the present occasion. Shortly after i o'clock on the rooming of Saturday last he was hastily sum moned down stairs by one of his servants, and on entering his warehouse, which exhibited a scene of great disorder, he found that the v arious drawers and other receptacles for his stock had been drawn out and plundered of the greater part of their contents, consisting of 323 lbs. of raw silk and nearly 1,500 yards of manufactured silk, the entire bulk of which amounted to at least 5 cwt. He also missed between 71. and 81. from one of his desks, which had been foreed open and tho roughly ransacked pry the thieves. On examining the premises, to ascertain in what manner an entrance had been effected, it was discovered that the staircase window, overlooking the main street, and which bad been carefully closed and secured before the family retired to rest on the preceding night, was wide open. The whole of the property in ques tion was perfectly safe at 4 o'clock on Friday afternoon, when witness left the premises in charge of the prisoner, whose duty it was to close the warehouse, and deposit the key in a small box in the adjoining kitchen at his usual hour of leaving, between sor 6 in the evening. About two hours after the discovery of the robbery, the prisoner presented himself at the warehouse at the accustomed hour, and after readily affording every assistance in his power in preparing an estimate of the amount of goods stolen, he was directed to distribute about the neighbourhood a num ber of handbills offeriug a reward of 1001. fur the detection and apprehension of the thieves, and continued to dis charge his ordinary duties without the slightest suspicion being directed against him until the preceding afternoon, when an investigation was set on foot in consequence of communication furnished by another witness, and which resulted in the apprehension of the prisoner. James Payne, foreman to Mr. Foot, a silk manufac turer, stated that while passing through Spital-square be tween four and five o'clock in the afternoon of Fnday last, ' he observed a man with a large and bulky bag, which he was carrying over his shoulder from the direction of the pro , secutor's warehouse. He believed the man to be the pri soner, and continued watching him until he turned into Bishopagatc-street, but his bat having been drawn over his eyes so as to abade his features he was unable to swear pen ' lively to his identity. Inspector Ellis deposed to having taken the prisoner into custody, and that on subsequently proceeding to search his house he discovered four empty boxes which the prosecutor claimed as his property, but stated that they had no cornice tion whatever with the present robbery. A solicitor who attended on behalf of the accused was about to address some observations to the • s^istrate ),nt Mr. Tyrwbitt intimated that it would be quite _ _ sary, as although he considered it a proper case for investi gation, he was decidedly of opinion that there was not suf ficient evidence to justify the further detention of the pri goner, and he should therefore order him to be discharged. MAItYLEBONE. EXTENSITY. ROSIDEIIY Or NOTES AND GOLD lIT A BERVANT.—Caroline Ilaaddine, a well-dreri , oa young woman, was charged with having robbed Mrs. Mary Sump tion, a widow lady residing at No. 10, Stanhope-street, Hampstead-road, of property to the amount of 1001. Prosecutrixsaid-1 he pnsoner has been in my service three years. On Friday last I. received from my tenants a large sum, which I put into my wardrobe , where other money had from time to time been deposited by me. In the whole there was more than 1001., consisting of three 10/. notes, four W. ditto, together with • quantitf gold and some silver; the whole was placed in three bogs and I lucked the door of my wardrobe, which was in my bedroom. On Saturday night the prisoner, as was the usual custom, took a bird into the parlour, and presently came down to me in the kitchen, exclaiming "Oh, my God! mistress, we have been robbed, for the parlour window is open and the drawers also :" upon hearing which I said, "Oh! then I am a ruined woman. I went into the parlour with her, when she remarked, " but they hav'nt undone the seeretaire, fur there is a key in it that don't fit," which I found to be the cam. The key is mine. I saw a silver watch which was my late hus band's lying on the window board, and prisoner said, "Oh, that will, I dare say, detect them." The watch was safe in my . bedroom the same morning. Prisoner then went up stairs, and as I was about to follow her she came running down in great haste, Raying, " Oh, ma'am, the drawers are all open, and the wardrobe too." I entered the room and found that all my money was gone, as also the larger bag of the three the other two I found empty upon the floor. I said, " Oh, dear, who can have done this . " and the prisoner made no answer. She, however, seemed much agitated. Yesterday a tradesman named Levy came to my house, he haring heard of the robbery, and informed me that on last Tuesday week he had sold to the prisoner a gold watch, a gold chain, ring, and two brooches. This was mentioned in the presence of prisoner, who then said to me, " I am the one who robbed you, and no one else, and I'll restore , you the money." She then addressed herself to Mr. Levy. o saying, "'You'll return to Mrs. Sumption what I paid you ; ' to which he replied, " We'll settle that another time," and • he then went away. After he was gone I said to the pri soner, " Now, Caroline ;" when she remarked. " If you'll only go out at that (the front kitchen) door for a minute I'll restore it;" upon which I said, " Then it's in the kitchen?" and she replied " Yes, it is." I told her she might just as well give it to me where I was, as it was not my intention to go out, upon which she put her hand into an opening under the grate and drew therefrom a parcel which she gave to me, saying, "There's your money." I opened it and found therein two 101. notes, six 51. ditto, 38 sovereigns, 15 half-sovereigns, 3 half-crowns. 2 shillings, and a sixpence. I said to her, " Now, Caroline, give me the rest of the things;" and she drew from the same place as she did the money a gold watch, chain, key, ring, and brooch, which she gave into my hands. Loekerbv ' 180 5, said that he visited the house on Sun day nighelas t, and, upon examining the premises, he at once felt satisfied that the robbery must have been effected by some one on the premises. Ile yesterday evening took the prisoner into custody, when she gave to him a brooch which she said was one of the two which she had bought of Mr. Levy on the Tuesday week. Witness remarked to her that that was before the robbery, when she asserted that she knew that, and that she had made the purchases of the watch and the whole of the other articles with her ntis tress's money. Mr. Long—Did she make this statement to you volun tarily ?—Witness—She did, sir. Mr. Long—Did she tell you in what money she paid for the articles? Witness—She told me that she changed a 101. and a 5/. note, both of which she had taken from the wardrobe. She also said that she had taken money from there belOre. The prisoner, who had nothing to say in answer to the charge, was fully committed for trial. GREENWICH.
