the eb;rge, 'the did not deny it. Witness had seen all the
prisoners together about halfisast nine the same evening.
Pomeroy, 31, said he took the female prisoner into
custody War the London-bridge station on I•ridny night.
She denied having been in the Borough-road on Thursday
night. Witness, however, had seen all the prisoners toge-
ther in that neighbourhood, just before the robbery was
diamvered.
The prisoners, who denied the charge, were accordingly
remanded fur a week.

St( plum Javph Meany, who described himself VA the
editor of the Lancashire Free Press, was charged with ob-
taining a church service, value kW. lid., the property of Mr.
Thomas Whitley, stationer, Westbourne-grove.
Sergeant Warren, of the D division, informed his worship
that the charge was taken on Saturday last, but the prisoner
bad since been confined in Paddington Workhouse from
illness, and be bad not been in a condition to be brought to
the court until that day.
Before the charge was gone into the prisoner begged for a
remand, as he had been prevented from communicating with

his frie—ods.
Mr. Hayman said be would take some evidence and remand
him for a week if he liked.
John Martin, in the absence of Mr. Whitley, stated that
on Saturday week the prisoner entered the shop aod re-
quested to look at some church services. He selected one
worth 16e. 6d. He then stated that be could not pay for it
on account of his having money owing to him by the Com-
missiooers of the Exhibition. He produced a letter pur-
porting to have been seat to him on behalf of the commis-
sioners.
The letter was produced, and handed to his worship. It
was written on one of the printed forms of the commie-
goners with the royal arms in the corner. The following is
a copy of the written portion of the letter :—" Aug. 11—
Sir,—l am desired by H. M. Commissioners to say that your
account for 45/. 10e. Id. (advertising in Lancashire Free
Pros) shall be laid before the audit committee at its
next meeting on the 22nd imt., and should the amount
be passed a cheque shall be at this office for you at any
time after 12 o'clock on Saturday, the Zird. Meanwhile,
you are requested to send vouchers for the items so charged
as against Messrs Kelk and Lucas.—l am, sir, your obedient
servant, J. W. If mammon, pro J. T. Mayo. S. J. Meany,

Esq."
Th. witness added that be let the prisoner have the book
on the statement of the letter. The prisoner also took the
letter away with him. On the following Tuesday the pri-
soner came again, and ordered two other books to be sent to
his lodgings on Saturday. On Saturday last whines took
the books to No. 1, Hereford-road, Westbourne-grove.
He saw the landlady, and she advised him not to leave
them, as he would not get the money for them, and said
t'e prisoner was a swindler.
Mr. Dayman inquired of the witness where he obtained
the letter.
The witness said the landlady found the letter in the
prisoner's room, and she delivered it to him. He gave the
wagoner into custody on Saturday night, and a second letter
was found upon him. He had made inquiries at the Exhi-
bition, and found that the letter was a forgery. He also
found that there was no such person as Mr. Henderson in
the Exhibition. Ile could produce a number of cases in
which the prisoner had defrauded others, and the waiters
in the refreshment department of the Exhibition.
Mr. Charles Tassell, limier, of Weetbourne.grove, said
he first saw the prisoner on the 9th instant, and he let him
have some goods on credit from his personal appearance.
When be gave in the account the prisoner showed him a
similar letter about the Exhibition Commissioners owing
him money. He saw the letter on the 15th, and after that
he let him have some more goods. On the loth he bor-
rowed a half-sovereign. After that he applied for the loan
of another half-sovereign, but on that magma he refused.
He also borrowed an opera glass, which he had not returned.
There were two other cases, one a tailor and the other •
hatter. In the case of the tailor a suit of clothes was or-
dered but not supplied. The case of the hatter was not gone
into, as the wrong witness was produced.
Mr. Dayman said he should remand the prisoner for •
week.
The prisoner asked to be admitted to bail, bat his worship
refused at present.
