MARYLEBONE.
cczyza CAPTURE OF • RIIROL•R IN FEMALE DRESS.
A powerful fellow, named Edward Boat, was brought up
handcuffed, chargedwith burglary.
Matthew Hayes, police-oonstahle, 81 S. deposed—At
half-post 1 this morning I was iu the Regent's.park.road,
where I saw the prisoner,who wuin female clothing, in com-
pany of another man not now in custody. From the prisoner's
manner of mg I thought it was rather curious, and
followed for about 3p yards. I then turned my lamp on the
prisoners legs, and sew he had a pair of dark trousers
nadetheath the gown. I went in front and took the two
into custody. and asked what the prisoner bad got under
his arm. The other man asked me what I meant. and
appeared to be quite indignant. A straggle then earned,
and the other man got away. I held the prisoner till
assistance came, when he dropped a bundle.
Mr. Yardley—What have you done with the female
attire?

—WitGess—l have it here. On the way to the station-
house he took some spoons from his pocket and said that
was all the silver he had found, and I had better take that.
He also said be dared say he should spend a good many
Christmases, and he should be satisfied with seven years.
Mr. Yardley What are the spoons I
Witness—Three silver ones.
William Barry, 99 S—l heard a rattle sprint this morn-
ing, and on going to the spot from whence the sound pro-
ceeded, I saw prisoner in custody of last witnees. On the
way to the stetson he said the " crack" was done two houses
from where we took him. Ile said he got in at the back,
and came out the rime way.
Hayes was re.ealled, and said—On going back to the
house I found some rope tied to the iron bars of the window,
sad this was so screwed round u to bring the bars together
and thus make an aperture sufficiently large for a man
to get in. The window inside had no restoring
and wee lifted op. Near the outside of the window
was found a bottle of treacle ►nd a sheet of brown paper
spread over with treacle. This is what burglars use to put
over the glass when they want to break it to gain admittance,
was to make no noise. _

The property produced was identified by Elizabeth Anne
Thomas, the servant of the house.
The prisoner, who seemed to enjoy the allusion to hi
being in female attire, was remanded.

WORSH I P-STREET.
HUSBAND AND WWI.
Jam( g .7,,rda,,, described as • oow•keeper, in Britannia-
street, City.road, was charged on reamed with the following
assault upon his wife, • young woman of very respectable
appearance, wbo now gave her evidence with the utmost
reluctanoe as it was drawn from her by Mr. Ellison, the
sitting magistrate.
Oa Saturday week last at half-past 1 o'clock in the morn-
ing my husband had some word' with ins because I
spoke to him about coming home late. He was not drunk;
he got crcee, and hit me on the head with his hand.
He put his hand over my mouth to prevent my
calling out. The lodgers came and pre him into
custody. I was ill afterwards. I suPPon from fright. He
is 23 years of age ;I am 21. We have two children, and
have been mtrried two years and • half. He has been in
the habit of ill-using and beating me. The lodger said that
his hand was on my throat. I don't know—that is I don't
think—

Constable—She was too ill to charge him that night, sir •
the lodger who did so wu to have been in attendance to-
day, but sent word that be could not. He beard screams
and on entering the room she fell out of bed. He supported
her in his arms, put her oo her feet, but she fell &gulp, and
Dr. Simpson said that if she had been kept al she was
toned • few minutes looser, she would sot have recovered
her breath.

Prisoner—Was it no? Was not the man in the passage
Wife—l don't know.
Mr. Ellison—Of course not, if insensible. What have you
to say•
Wife—l don't wish to hurt him.
Prisoner—Well, she began to talk loud at me, and
put her shoulders where her head ought to have
been. I told her to lie down, and not disturb
the lodgers. She wouldn't leave off, and then
I posher a slight tap on the face. She commenced scream-
ing, and I placed my hood over her mouth. U she got
hurt, it must have been by my hand slipping down from
her month to her throat, but not for the purpose. I am sure
that I thought nothing at all about it.
Mr. Ellison—Your wife comes here to-day for the tint
time, and evidently with every desire to make your conduct
light as possible. You, too, make light of it, bat it is that
misconduct that hes brought you here. She has reluctantly
admitted former violence received at your bands,
and I can pretty well form front that what it
' must have been on this occasion. The law is very strict in
such cases as this, therefore I would advise von to take a
serious miming mover to lift your hand in violeoce against
your wife. Be mewed that you will Sod it worth while to
recollect this. You are both young, and there may be
hope for the future from that fact. Your wife, too, is
very anxious not to press the charge, I will therefore be
content to take what if you are in a respectable position of
life you will not have difficulty in boding—namely, two
sureties in 30/. each, sad your own in double that amount,
to be of good behaviour for the future.
11 Man and Wife—Thank you, sir.

FCRTHER PARTICULARS.

The perpetrators of this and several recent rob-
beries to a Lege amount remain undiscovered, and
no traces of the stolen property have been found.
Steps have been taken to prevent the negotiation of the se-
curities, end telegrams describing the property have been
despatched to the outports and to the principal cities on the
continent. Intelligent officers belonging to the City and me-
tropolitan detective foram, selected by the commissioners,
have been sent to every city sad town where it is coo.
sidered probable the thieves may endeavour to dispose of
the booty. It is said that the police are in possession of
facts that may eventually lead to the discovery of part if
not the whole of the property stolen, and the apprehension
of the thieves ; but on this subject the strictest silence is
observed.
