COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Juss 13.
Muhl. at Niel Prins in kliddlesez. (13efore Mr. Justice
Byles cud a Special Jury.)
SOBBIIIIII IN COURT.
During the bearing of the cue Webbe e. the Royal
Dramatic College the court wee somewhat crowded;
and pending the consultation the audience were
watching what was going on, eager to catch the re-
sult. It seems that some thief took advantage of the
opportunity to ply his calling, and immediately after the
special jury on the next case was called, one of the Jurymen
informed his lordship that • few minutes before his watch
bad been stolen, whikt he wiz standout{ at the beck of the
court. He wished to mention t►e matter so that slue
might be taken to prevent the recurrence of • similar act,
I and slao to add that there was no policeman in the oourt et
the time of the robbery, though soon afterwards there were
several.
Another gentleman said that he also had lost his watch ;
but be had not been aware of the fact until that moment.
The policoonostable in attendance was called, and stated
that there was one politoman for each court, but the court
was sitting in two places, and it happened that at the time
of the robbery be wee in the sound court.
Mr. Justice Bytes said it seamed that there was only one
policeman for the two tribunals. Be could give the gentle-
, men who had bees robbed only the cold comfort of say-
ing that he would make a representation in the proper
quarter ; but he must ay that it was hard that those who
! bad come there in discharge of a public duty should meet
with such a reward.

SECOND COURT.
Sittings at Nisi Erin' in Iliddlcom.-IBefore Mr. Justice
Keating and a Common Jury.)
His lordship disposed of several mass during the day, but
none of them were of any public intermit.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
Simeon Howell and Mary Benda, who were convicted
on Monday of unlawfully inciting s young girl named
Louisa Mockett to become a prostitute, were brought up.
The Recorder said it appeared to him that the offence of
which the defendants had bees convicted was one of s very
shocking character, and that nothing could be more socially
mischievous than the act of inducing en innocent young
woman to adopt this miserable course of life. He should
however make • difference in the sentence he pronounced,
beoause be believed that the roan was the moat active agent
in the wicked transaction, sod that the woman, who was
very young, had, to a certain extent, been intimidated by
him to act as sbe had done. He then sentenced Howell to
be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for fifteen, and
Bentley to six months' imprisonment arid hard labour.
Zacha riaA Howell, an old man, the father of the prisoner
Simeon Howell, was thee placed at the bar.
This prisoner, it will be remembered, was oonvicted of a
common assault upon the same prosecutrix. e
The Recorder said that although the defendant had
only been convicted upon there counts of the indictment
preferred against him which charged him with a common
assault, the sot was attended with v aggravated circum-
stances, as it was no doubt committed in connection with
the offence of which the other two defendants had been
convicted. He, therefore, felt it his duty to sentence him
to six months' imprisonment and hard labour.
This concluded the business of the session, and the court
adjourned to Monday, July 13.

THE POLICE COURTS.
MANSION-HOUSE.
George Newman and William Wylde, impactors of meat
under the Commissioners of Sewers, applied to Mr. Alder-
man Male, who was sitting for the Lord Mayor, for the
condemnation of the carcass of a diseased sheep, which
they had seized that morning. Inspector Newman stated
that be was in Leadenhall-market that morning, and in the
shop of Mr. Thompson, • salesman in the market,
be saw the body of • sheep, which he produced, hanging
up exposed for sale. It was the carcass of an
animal that bad died, or nearly so, from con-
sumption, and was totally unfit for human
food. He thought it wee the worst he had ever seen, and it
appeared to be nothing but • mass of water. Inspector
Wylde cormborated his statement, and also gave his
opinion that it was quite unfit for food.
Mr. Alderman Hale, having inspected it, said it certainly
wee the worst he had ever seen, and ordered it to be des-
troyed forthwith.
In answer to Alderman Hale, Inspector Newman said he
knew the name of the man from whom it mine, but there
were four brothers, and he did nut know which of them it
wee. He should make inquiries, and report to the Com-
missioners of Sewers, who would probably take further pro-
ceedings in the matter.
GUILDHALL.
Eliza James, alias Louisa Gifford, the woman who was
before charged, in conjunction with • man named Gifford,
with stealing jewellery to the value of Ma from • gentle-
man at the North Kent Railway, was brought up on re-
mmd, and committed for trial.
BOW-STREET.
Louisa Clark was charged with stealing clothes which
she bad stripped from off a little girl of four year. old.
The mother of the child said Der lit girl camho e home

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
James Mills clerk, was finally examined, charged with
sending • letter to Berl Spencer, threatening to moose him
of an infamous offence unless he paid a sum of money • end
George Peacock Smith wee charged with aiding and abetting
Mills.
The previous evidence having been read overFarllipencer was examined—He said that on 'Tuesday last
he was at Roehampton. His letters had been forwarded to
him from town, and among them was the letter now pro-
duced, which was quite unfit for publication. It was in a
handwriting which was quite unknown to him. He bail
never had communication, either personal or written, with
the prisoners, and had never seen either of them before to the
beat of his belief.
Mr. Lewis, jun., in addressing the court for Smith, con-
tended that there WY no evidence to show that he had any-
thing to do with the charge. All that bad been proved
against him was that he had been asked by Mills to accom-
pany him to Northumberland-street. Smith knew nothing
about the letter. He was a respectable lad, and had COMO
up from the country merely to sell • hone for hie father,
and while in town he had lodged with his sister in Suther-
land-street. The father and sister of the prisoner Smith
gave evidence to that effect. The sister said that she knew
that Mills bad lived in the neighbourhood fora short time,
but she did not know how her brother became acquainted
with him.
Mr. Knox said the evidence of the father and sister was
such as might be expected from them, but they could not be
aware of what Smith was doing while staying in London.
He osrtainly was found in the company of Mills, a young
man who had been guilty of en offence which was in his
opinion ter Irollo than murder. Smith had, no doubt, got
into bad company, and might have been made • tool of, but
the two lads were together in • cob, and were seen reading
the letter together under a lamp, and in close companionship.
His honour then committed both prisoners for trial.
WESTMINSTER.
Blimbith Harney, 21 years of age, was committed for
trial, charged with murdering a female child, of which abs
had been recently delivered. The prisoner had been for two
mouths in the service of • famil in Lowndes-square, where
she was takes aud was attended by Mr. Dickenson, who,
on his second visit, discovered that she had been delivered
of • child. Upon search being made in her room, a full-
grown child was found in the prisoner's box with its bead
nearly severed from the body. A rag box its
found in a
drawer in her room covered with blood.
