ROBBING Tun MIDLAND RAILWAY COMPANY,--AI the
Public Office, on Tuesday, before Messrs. It, Bourne,
It. Smallwood, and A. Ryland, Daniel Banner, a local
preacher, was charged with stealing 240 pounds weight
of iron, the property of the Midland Railway Company.
Prisoner was in the employ of the company at the
Brocusgrove Carriage Works as a lifter. On the 22nd
July prisoner sold to a marine store dealer, named
Hemming, a quantity of scrap iron, which, he said, he
received from a man in the country in payment of a
debt. Hemming, the same night, sold the iron to
another marine store dealer named Samuel Hall. It
was dark at thu time, and Hill could not see the exact
weight, so requested his son-in-law, Alfred barbed, who
is in the employ of the company, to examine the weight.
He, upon doing so, saw several of the pieces of iron
bore the company's mark, upon which Hill at once sent
for Hemming and requested him to take back the iron.
Eventually prisoner fetched the iron from Hill, paying
him 8. lid, being the amount he gave Hemming for it.
The next morning, about four o'clock, prisoner was seen
coming away from a garden in the occupation of the
p.eion with whom he lodged, with an empty sack. He
was afterwards apprehended by Police-sergeant Workman
and upon his searching the garden, 2401 b. weight of
scrap, bearing the Company's private marks, was found
hid amongst some potato tops. When in custody he
requested to see Mr. Hewitt, the manager of the works,
to whom he said that two men brought it into the back
premises at his lodgings, when he was getting up, and
asked him to allow them to leave it there till they called
for it. He didn't know who they were, as he had never
seen them before or since. Acting upon the advice of
his solicitor, Mr. Holyoake, prisoner now pleaded guilty,
and was committed to Worcester gaol for six months'
bard labour.—Mr. Young. from Messrs. Beale and Co.,
of Birmingham, prosecuted on behalf of the Company.
