eater' to Mr. Ives, goldsmith, Corahill, who bad
received it from the prisoner Funcken in payment for a
ring. The prisoner's name and address were endorsed on
the back of thence*, sad he at once proceeded to a publie
house in Church lase, where prisoner lodged, and there ap-
prehended him on the charge of stealing the notes. Pri-
soner pretested that he knew nothing at all about the notes,
and they subsequently proceeded to prisoner Sultenfags'
lodgings, in Buckle•street, where witness found the latter
prisoner, who, on seeing witness and the prisoner Funeken,
desired them to leave the house. Witness refined to do so
and told the prisoner that he mast consider himself in cue•
tody, on the charge of having been concerned with the pri-
soner Fonekes in stealing a quastity of valuable property
from the London Hotel. The prisoner Sultesfogs then be.
came very violent, and threatened to give him in charge to

clocks, watches, &c., which, no doubt, bad been stoles.

LAMBETH.
John Dies, the young man whose mother and brother
were committed to take their trial for the "manslaughter
of his father, end who has been in custody for the last week
on a 'barge of breaking into the hoses of Mr. Herbert, in
Church-meet, Brixton, and stealing therefrom a quantity
of property ; and Joseph Robinson another youth of shout
the same age, were placed at the bar for final examination.
At the former examinstiea it was clearly proved that the
prisoner Dios had been seen coming from the door of the
hoses that had been broken into and robbed, with • bag
containing something balky, sad the prisoner himself did
not deny the fact, bat said be was following his usual «en
patios of *Alerting rags and bones. Sines his remand the
woof the prosecutor, in walking along Newington Cause-
way, met Robinson with a snit of clothes, a part of the
stolen property, on his perm. He instantly laid hold of
him, sad ultimately gave him into the custody of • coasts-
ble. The prisoner wee subsequently identified by a female
living sent deer to the prosecutor, who ieid that on the
man of the robbery she saw him go into the garden in
frost et the hews with a small basket of apples, which he
Tha appeared to be hawking.
eon of the promoter, who gave the prisoner into
custody, strengthened the case considerably against him by
swearing that when the robbery was discovered several
apples were head is the back garden, which had not been
time when his mother left the house.
Fee the prisoner Dice, it was urged that he had no
knowledge whatever of the other prisoner, or of the robbery
with which be bad boon charged, and there being no
whims of any istizarty with the other primes?, be was
disowned, and Robinson was rally committed for trial.

Mr. Saleimes, eolisiter, attended before Mr. Seeker with

who hoe undergose several examusatioss at this mart fa

Mr. alum said his worship might recollect that Me
sliest was meat najastly taken into custody by the pollee,
at her lodgings is EArdmes-street, charged with stealing a
large tumidity of Baas sad ether property from the hospitals
its Knislee and et Bested. TM property in vieeties wee

talma awn by the peliee, mad placed Were his worship
for iaape ad ',vend leaghty ezemiaatiams took piano.
After a very Ariel sad impartial ievestigation his worship
hid masidened that the 'barge was not proved against hie
• inasanmit as so patios, either on the part of the Go-
mammas or otherwise, attpaded to sabstaatiate any charge
whet her; eesseinsatly be ordered het to be diseharged.
His worship, after liberating her, directed the whole of the
goods to be detained by the police, as he goad not act
upon his own responsibility The pollee bad bad chugs of
these goods since then, sal 'had en ly opportunity of mar-
gining whether she had anlawfaUy pememed herself of
them, and failing in bringing any penises dais them, he
asked that they might be immedktely reitered to her, as it
was clear that the whole was given te ber by the lady
names in the Crimea, who had the sole equal of sock

property.
Mr. Seeker said that seems as he saw Mr. Niemen enter
the court with Jane Gibson, he intended in mention to
him what communisations he had received respeeting her
and the property found in her possession, and as the business
was nearly concluded he would tell him what he had heard.
He bad recently received a number of letters from various
ladies, and other parties connected with the nurses in the
Crimea, and understood that Gibson was discharged at
Balaklays, and sent to Scutari for transmission to England.
Vast quantities of old linen and other property were at the
later place, and she as well as other nurses were allowed to
take what they required. He really wished that he had
received such information when she was before him on a
criminal charge, as he should not have dealt so harshly to-
wards her,but et the time bethought that such property could
not have been so lavishly gives away, especially when a great 11
portion of the linen goods were sent by charitable indivi.
duals in this country for the use of the sick and wounded in
the hospitals in the Crimea. Several ladies had written to
him, stating that he bad been too rigid in his examination
but, knowing that he was doing his duty as a magistrate, he
caused a strict investigation to take plus ; finding, at last,
that he was unsupported, he wu compelled to order her
to be discharged.
Mr. Solomon observed that his worship had acted the
whole way through in a very impartial manner, and his
client had no cause to complain of his conduct ; but still, at
the same time, she was entitled to the property taken from
her—that is to say, all that which does not bear the govern-
ment marks.
Mr. Pecker said he supposed Mr. Solomon meant the two
pair of hospital shoes which were marked by the Board of
Ordnance. They were clearly the property of the govern-
ment, and must be detained. Besides these, there were a
number of books belonging to the Steam Navigation Com-
pany and the Society for the Diffusion of Christian Know-
ledge. They were seat out to the Crimea and the East
distinctly for the sick and wounded soldiers, and conse-
quently Gibson could have no claim on them. They there-
fore must be detained. . .

Mr. Solomon said he did not want them, bat be could
ezplain how they came into her possession. They were
given to her at 'Scutari to read and amuse herself on her
voyage back to England. She was never unlawfully
possessed of them or the other property.
Mr. Seeker said he bad hoped that he should have been
able to have clearly stated his opinion on the subject. At
present he was not prepared, as the communications he bad
received were so contradictory. Some of the ladies con-
sidered that eke (Gibson) was entitled to the property, as
in the hurry of departure from the Crimea the nurse' were
allowed to take what they required, and other letters set
forth that she had no right to it at all. Now, he really
believed from what he had heard from the ladies that he
might have acted too harshly towards Gibson, and that the
charge against her might have been prejudicial towards her,
but at the same time he was not prepared at present to say
scything very favourable on her part.
Ultimately it was agreed that Mr. Solomon should renew
his application on a future day.
THAMES. _ . .

On Mr. Yardley taking his seat on the bench, Captain
Hutton, the muter of the ship the Earl of Eglintoun, an
But Indianian, cams before the magistrate with a party of
Lauer., to take the opinion of his worship as to whether hie
Asiatic crew were entitled to their wagea for their services in
the ship Janet Mitchell, on a voyage from Calcutta to Bristol.
Taplin, an officer of the court, stated that the Lunn
complained on Tuesday that they bad been engaged
to navigate the Janet Mitchell from Calcutta to
Bristol, and on reaching that port they sum-
moned the owner, Mr. Mitchell, before the magi-
strate for their wages, and they acre ordered to be paid.
The owner, however, instead of paying them their wages,
took them all to London and put them on hoard another of
his ship., the Earl of Eglintoun, which was bound to Cal.
mitts. The Lausn had no objection whatever to return to
India in the Earl of 'Winton's, but they wanted their
wages which they bad earned in the Janet Mitchell. Cap.
tsin Hutton said he wished to know what 'Dane he was to
pursue.
Mr. Yardley said the Lseean were clearly entitled to their
wages for their services on board the Janet Mitchell, and
he had repeatedly said that if Luears were not paid in
England when a voyage bad terminated, they would have
no security whatever for their payment when they returned
to India, in soother ship, the muter of which was not liable
to pay wages for services in a vessel which he did not com•
mand.—The parties then retired.
Mrs. Lebeau, of 24. New Cburch.road, Hackney, who
pawned her late husband's chased gold ring, with his
J. L.," engraved on it, at the shop of Mr.
Patterson, pawnbroker, in John street, White Horse-lane,
Stepney, and received • bra's ring in exchange, worth
one peony, when she sent her daughter to redeem the gold
one, sgain waited on Mr. Yardley.
Tenho, an officer of the court, said he had waited on Mr.
Panorama, who declared that the brass sing produced was
the one he received in pawn, and on which he lent ss. Mr.
Patterron also produced hie books, and it appeared there
was only one ring pawned on the 6th September, the day I
in question.
Mr. Yardley—You hear that, woman.
Mrs. Lebean, who was much agitated, asked if it was
likely that a pawnbroker would lend ss. on a braes ring.
Was it probable t Her husband's ring was a heavy one,
with J. L. on it; the one given to her was a brass one, with
no initials on it.
Taplin—The pawnbroker says he will make oath the ring
now in the poesession of Mrs. Latium is the one he received
in pawn.
Mrs. Lsbeau—ls it probable, sir ? I will make oath it is
not my ring, end that a brass one has been substituted for
a gold one. My sou knows his father's ring; he can prove
this is not my ring; it is a vile imposition, sir.
Mr. Yardley said the applicant could have a summons if
she wished the cue to he argued. There would be oath
against oath. The pawnbroker would produce books to
confirm him, which the applicant had not got. There was
another side, and he thought Mer. Lobelia had better submit
to her lose.
Mrs. Lebean—Oh, sir, I causal submit to it. My hus-
band's ring I cherished, and nuemity compelled me to
pawn it.
Mr. Yardley—Well, you have your answer, and there is
an end of it.
Mrs. Litman left the court in a state of great agitation,
inveighing bitterly against the fraud, which, she said, had
been practised on her.

AGRICULTURAL MEETINGS IN DEVON.—The agri.
cultural societies in Devonshire, which are established for
the enooursgement of good ploughing, improvement in the

growth of recta, and .oe breed of cattle, have commenced

to agriculture have resulted from the operations of these
societies. It was stated at the meeting of the North Molten
and Twitches Society (North Devon) held a few days
ago, at which Lord Poltimore presided, that whereas 120
acres of routs badly managed were cultivated in the district
when the society was formed a few years ago, there were I
now 1,000 acres appropriated to the cultivation of roots,
which were well managed and were very ars:iliac. The an-
adversary of the West Rockland Agricultural Society was
celebrated at Castle-hill, the seat of Earl Forteseue, where a
dinner was provided for a large number of the agriculturists
of the neighbourhood ; Lord Ebrington, in the absence of ,
his father, Earl Fortucue, presided. Kis lordship made
some observations on the sues•ity for further educational
effirts among the sgricultural class of the community. Hie
felt that the children of the smaller farmers, although they
were making progress, were relatively losing ground as
computed with the labourers below them, who had the ad-
vantage of free institutions established by private beseto.

cluded by offering a prize of 251. for three years to any
farmer's son who should pass the best examination in Eng•
fish history, geography, sod practical mathematics.
