was " paraded for inspection" before the officer, of the dif-
ferent divisions. Sergeant Cook, 8 8, at once recognised
him, and said, " Mae, its no use, you had better give your
name." Prisoner said, " Its all up • Ben,' " • cognomen by
which Cook is known among the " fraternity."
On being placed in the dock Mr. Tate, the clerk, slaked it
be would now give his name.

The following evidence was then taken —Charlie
Colborn the proprietor and driver of • cab plying

sisting of two boxes, was on the roof. As they were
crossing Connaught•equare be felt a jerk at his chains and
guard iron. On looking coned be saw the prisoner in the
act of lifting a box from the roof of the cab. He at once
pulled up, jumped from hie seat, and secured the prisoner'
as he was about to make off. Prisoner said he would knock
him down and knock his head off. He was told that
two could play at that, and was held till a constablecame cp.
Prisooer cross-examioed at some length, but his questions
and the answers elicited tended to strengthen the case

pany in prosecuting in • case like this.

cute in every case.
The Magistrate—l am glad to beer that, for each as the
