Wm on Tuesday charged befure the Worshipful the
Mayor (G. E. Eliot, Esq.), Dr. Drew, J. K lichens,
Esq., D. Collett, Esq., and B. Hopkins, Esq., with
dealing coal from a truck in the Commercial-rood,
also with having 321 he. weight of coal in his posses-
don, and not giving proper account of the same.—
P.C. Bails said on Monday Mot, about quarter to
twelve, he was on duty in the Comma... Mal-road. He
saw the prisoner put 4,03441110 g on a door step at
Burdon's-buildinge, and on going to see what it was he
found a large lump of coal (produool). Witness then
went to the prisoner's house in Brunswick-plum and
brought him back to where the coal was and told him
he should take him in custody for stealing it. He
offered witness first a shilling, and then Is. dd., to let
him go. There were three trucks of coal near where
he first saw the prisoner, and they contained the mine
kind of coal aa that produced.—Mr. R. H. Pollard,
inspectx, in the employ of the Great Western Com-
pany, said he knew that the three trucks were stand.
lag there. The coal produosd was similar to that
now in the trucks. His attention was caller( to the
truck that morning, and he found that a considerable
quantity had been taken from one truck. It WM
certainly not like it when it left the colliery.—The
prisoner pleaded not guilty, saying he found the coal
near Mr. Greenwood's gates. He, however, wished
the cam to be tried at once.—Mr. Supt. Viokery said
the prisoner had never before been convicted.—The
Mayor, hoping that it would be a warning to the
prisoner, only sentenced him to one day's Imprison-
ment.

which, with the chorine by the choir, had • aloe effect,
and was deservedly applauded. An encore was
accorded toe pianoforte duet, "Far Away" (Lindsay),
which was nicely played by two young pupils of Mr.
Bartlett. The care with which they rendered the
pier*, for such juvenile performers, did much credit to
their teacher. One of the prettiest
_pieces of the
evening warn a pathetic ballad, "A Last Remem-
brance," which was sung by Mi. S. Carter in a
manner that could not fall to earn loud applause. Mies
A. Fox and Kr. H. Crocker were encored for • duet,
