THE POLICE COURTS.

*Mt NON-HOUSE.

Levi Tobias, who was a few days ago charged with
having had in his ' well knowing that they had
been stolen, • large of gloves, the property of
Messrs. Wilson, hosts s sad in Mincing-lane, was
brought betore Aldermen ilees for final examination
upon that charge.
The prisoner had been followed from his own house in
the London-ruad to a public home in Prince's-street, in
that neighbourhood, by 'f rew and Webb, of the City De-
tective Police, and in a bag which be carried were found
gloves which were identified as part of the Wunder taken
from the premises of the prosecutors by thieves.
The additional evidence in the ease was the following:
It will be recollected that Mr. fioloinon, the solicitor to the
prieoner, said in defence that the gloves had been purchased
as • "job lot" at one of the sales of Mr. Bailey, the
auctioneer.

Mr. J. Meson, clerk to Mr. Bailey, of Wood-street,
Cheapside, was called for the prosecution. He said—l
superintend the delivery of articles sold at Mr. Bailey's
auction rooms, and hero examined the gloves in question,
and my arm belief is that they were not sold at Mr.
Bailey's. We do not sell "job lots." We only sell by
auction. If a job lot had been sold to the prisoner I would
have been ewers of the fact. I hays been with Mr. Bailey
23 years, and know the prisoner as an occasional buyer.
He bought some gloves at our rooms on the 28th of Nov.
They passed through my hands, but were quite different
from those produced.
Cress examined—l have known him some time. He deals
bet little. The articles he deals in are drapery goods,
clothes, and gloves.
Mr. Solomon—Has be not always paid for the goods he

bought?
Witness—Yes; he pays always before he takes the goods
away, as every one else does.
Alderman Wilson having reed the usual cashes to the
prisoner and told him that his words would be takes down
and used, if considered necessary, against bins,
The prisoner said "The gloves wore purchased at Mr.
Bailey's, as I was informed. The party of whom I had
theta told me so."

ing on the Übe as they are here. I have been making
inquiries nod have found no claimant for any of the
watches eseept the eine I have spoken of.
Mr. Sollesese—My client has no invoice. I expect to be
able to posse that he bought ten out of the eleven watches
at miss, at Debenham's, Thompson's, and other
isemisesees. The clocks were also bought as a "job lot."

rseasseL

Mr. Christie, watchmaker, Camwn•atreet, said—l have
examined one of the watches produced by the officers. It
has my private mark upon it. I cleaned and repaired it for
• Mr. Nowell some time in lut June. The private mark
corresponds with the mark in my book.
Mr. H. Goenell—l believe this watch to be my property.
It was stolen from me on the night of the 2nd- of this
month. I bad had it repaired by Mr. Christie. The num-
ber and maker's name correspond with the information I
gave. ♦ female took it out of my pocket in Holton, be-
tween 8 and 9 o'clock. The chain had been broken or cut
by her, and is iu my pomeasion. I never saw her before,
and I should not know her again.
Crass-ersatined by Mr. Solomon—l had been drinking
a little. I Dever said that I had lost the watch three
months before. I had mentioned that I had lost it amongst
• set of " Bleorsen," because I did not lika to say where

lady who stole it wu a "Bloomer " et not ; it is quite
evident that you were robbod of your watch.
