Twa Prince of Waled bee granted *remission of rent

• little whlie ago that he had not; that the tenants
were in consequence greatly disapp ,inted, and even
imbed to eat the audit dinner provided for them on

enaocountable mistake. A letter wa• published the
otitis day in • Bnetol paper complaining that no re-
duction had been made on the Prince's property at
Farrington Gurney, sad straightway there mines an
official letter from the Duchy of Cornwall offices, pro-
testing that a reduction of rent had been sanctioned
by the Prince of Wales. It was general, but not
universal. In most cans it was equal to 20 per cent.,
and to coetinue three years, but in some cams 15 per
mat., to continue two years. Farrington Gurney,
however, was one of the cases where it had not been

CHAD°. OF EITIALIDGI • WATCH.— Willian /1:4 wee
Charged with steeling • watch and chain, the property
of Henry Wiltshire, of the Queen'. Own Inn.—The
watch wee lost in the skittle alley of the Inn, where
prosecutor had taken off and left his waistcoat. —Mr.
Weston prosecuted and Mr. Ho ward def ended. —Henry
Wiltshire said that he bought the watch of Brown, of
Snags. He had had the watch about six or seven
years. Could not say whether he took off his waist-
coat before or after Fox came in.—Crose-examined by
Mr. Howard: Did Fox and Wyatt leave together
Yes, they all left together. There were five or six in
the kitchen at the time, and he limed( served. No
persons were in the kitchen till they came out
of the skittle alley, this lot, he thought, came
out about the same time as Fox and Loam did;
Fox and the boy did 'sot oome into the kitchen. When
he left the skittle alley, he left five cc six there. He
had been away from the skittle alley half an-hour, and
could not tell who went in and out during that tirne.
Put his waistcoat on sorourbere about five o'clock that
day; this was about halfan-hour after the party bad
left the kitchen. This man and • boy went into the
skittle-alley after the mu left. If anyone else went
In during the half-hour after the party lac the
kitchen, he could not say, as he was moving about.
John Wyatt, of Grove Buildings, was examined as
to his understanding of the nature of an oath, and
came out satisfactorily. His evidence was to the effect
that the defendant went into the skittle-alley, and
witness saw him close beside the waiss'oer, and also
that he had the watch and chain in his hand, and put
It into his trouser's pocket. He joined the man, whom
he found to be Isaacs, and went out into the street •
they went towards the bottom of the town when
left the house. Witham went up round by the d
Moon, and saw them standing near Style and James's,
lox and Isaacs there spoke to William
Building,
and
afterwards saw him go into the Oak way.
Crosseousinized : Lived at Grove with his
mother, and had nine brothers and sisters. Went into
the public about three, through the house and into the
skittle-alley. Three or four men were in the alley
when he went in, Fox among theta Two were
playing skittles, and (after long hesitation) he thought
the landlord WIWI one of those playing • Fox wee
picking up the pins. Several kept cora in and
goingout, and he could not tell how many they were
altogether. Did not fetch any pots of beer for the
people; but stopped there two hours. Did not leave
the room at all during that time; but when he left,
all went out. When he left, he saw Fox going up
over the steps. The season why he stayed two hours
In the skittle alley was because he picked up the
pins. Got no money for doing so; but a men
heeded him some beer, which he drank. Had
seen Morgan since, and told him that he took the
watch; this was the second time he saw him.—ln
answer to Mr. Weldon, the boy said that what he told
Morgan wail that Fox took the watch; but not that
Morgan did so.—Edward Isaac, labourer, was at the
Queen's Own on that day, and saw prisoner leave,
witness leaving shortly after, between four and five.

ar. Howard wijoing out to speak to Morgan, but
Mr. Weston ho that Mr. Howard would not speak
to Morgan.— . Howard said certainly he should see
his own witness and ask him what he thought proper.
—The Mayor said it would be satisfactory if the
witness were called without Mr. Howard specking to
him. —Mr. Howard said he should stand on his pro-
fesaonal dignity as • professional mac and see his
own witness, whatever any bench of magistrates
might my. He could not 01.1.0HD0 him without
knowing what evidence he would lie% and he was
one of his (Mr. Howard's) principal with/Ness for the
defenos.—Mr. Weston said it would detract from the
weight of the evidence in the minds of the magistrates.
—Mr. Howard said the magistrates might do what
they liked. He should see his 'Athena —'The witness
Isaac continued that he offered the watch first to
Jane Dare, who refused, saying she did not want it,
next to Morgan, and then to another, also to
Humphrey Moore, who also refused. Fox offered it
to a " chap" in the Oak yard.— The Bench reourked
on the witness's conduct and Mr. Symonds told him
he had ran uncommonly close to the law—it looked
like *misting • man to get rid of a stolen watch,—
Croes-ezarnined : Fox and he had DO conversation near
the Akita. room; had not been talking on Fox going
back to the skittle-room. The watch Fox showed him in
the open street, and he had it open in his hand, ant-
body could see It and several were going by. Samuel
Drake, jeweller, between five and six, was in the
Royal Oak yard, and prisoner asked him if he wanted
to hily a watch, and he handed it to him. It was a
silver lever single-case watch, with white enamelled
face, and he found a piece of solder near the hinge,
which seemed to have been put there in the making,
and witness thought it rather rough. He declined
buying it as he had no money. Isaacs was close
behind. —Mr. Weston asked for an adjournment,
but Mr. Howard stated prisoner was a very
poor man, and he opposed an adjournment
Mr. Howard pointed out the man warn poor, and
could 11l bear the cost of his appearing again
to defend him.—Mr. Symonds said here was a man
dealing with • watch, and • scientific witness (Drake)
deposed it wee a silver levee, single case, white
enamelled face, and black figures. The Bench
remarked it would be satisfactory if the watch with
which Fox was dealing was produced. Prosecutor,
In answer to the Bench, said he bought the watch new
some years ago, for five ge —Remanded for • week.—
Mr. Howard applied for the prisoner to be admitted to
ball; but Mr. Weston objected. If Fox waa dealing
honestly with the watoh he was offering for sale, let
him produce it. The stolen watch ham not been
discovered, and if prisoner were allowed out on bail,
they would never get IL—Bell refused.
