werw brought up for judgment.
The 'onager prisoner was found guilty of stealing some
articles, the property of hie, father ; end the elder one
of feloniously receiving them knowing that they had
been stolen. Napa was a lodging-boom keeper in Brick-
lane.
The Assistant-Judge said, it appeared from inquiries that
bad been made, that Noquet was a trainer of boys in the
way of thieving, and also a regular receiver of the property
stolen by his pupils. The sentence upon him, thereforemas
that he be kept in penal servitude far the space of six years,
and he (the Assistant-Judge) had authority to state that
in future it would be the rule to carry out sentences of
penal servitude as they were passed by the judges; there
would be no mitigation front six to four, or four to two, as
had bees the case, and he hoped that the prisoner would
have to suffer every day of the term the court tad awarded

MANSION -HOUSE.
Jaws Bell was brought before Alderman Wire charged
with having deserted from the Royal Artillery.
Mr. Christopher Foster, &related, said—l readied
pimae information that the prisoner, whom I have known
Vat many years, and who married a niece of mine during
my absence and without my consist, was coming to town
from Hull in a steamer, and I went yesterday between five
and six o'clock to London Bridge, with a policeman, for '
the purpose of apprehending him as a deserter upon his
arrival.
Alderman Wire—You gave him into custody as a deserter
An having married your niece ?
Witness—Yes; and under circumstances into which it is
unsecessary for me to enter, as I cannot here prove their
eiremetness.
Sergeant Cox, of the Royal Artillery, who had bran re-
warmed Artillery, to attend' for the purpose of identifying the prisoner,
mid—l do not know the man at all, neither do I know thai
each a person as :antes Bell was a registered deserter from
the Royal Artillery.
There was seine difficulty as to the proof that the prisoner
was a deserter, but another witness said that the feet was he
enlisted in September, and he married the lady alluded to
by Mr. Foster on the 27th December, 1854 ; that he bed
Wm seen in the uniform and with a moustache in Wool-
wich balmlike, and that he was subsequently seen with a
perfectly shaven face. To this statement succeeded the
prisoner's own acknowledgment that he was,• deserter, and
the person alluded to by the relative of the lady he had
slurried.
Alderman Wire then directed that the prisoner should be
delivered up to the authorities et the Tower.
GUILDHALL.
Ann Smith, a slovenly-looking woman, about 35 years of
we, was charged on suspicion with wilfully setting fire to
the boon of her master, Mr. James Smith, a chemist and
druggist, of 69, Colonise-street.
Sergeant Foulger said—From information I received I
went to the prosecutor's home on Saturday night last, and
Arland in the first floor front room a bundle of wearing
apparel in one corner burnt. The prisoner was the only
c= person left in the house. On going to the top floor I
her in one of the rooms, and a quantity of things in
the grate burning. There wire the remains of as old fire
in the mats, but it was not alight. I put out the things
that wire on fire, and found among them some socks and
stockings 'nuked " E. F. 5.," a silver butter knife, and two
sets of artificial teeth set in gold. I asked her how she ao-
wanted for these things beteg on fire, and she said she
wanted a fire and put on some old rags to stakeout, but she
knew nothing of the clothes which had been found henries
on the first floor, as she was out at the time. 1 then told her
I should take her on suspicion of setting fire to the home,
and she denied all knowledge of the matter. I then took
her to the station.
George Lake, a fireman attached to the Watling-street
station, said—l was called on Saturday night last, about
half-past nine o'clock, to a fire at 69, Coleman-street, hut
the fire was extinguished before I arrived. I beard there
were some children in the upper part of the house, and ran
upstairs and met a policeman coming down with three
children. I went into the room they had left. There wee
no fire in the grate thee, and I went downstairs, but fa
about ten minutes I was called upstairs by one of the
officers, when I saw the articles produced by the last
witness. There were other things burning, but they were
entirely consumed before the fire could be put out.
Edward Mitchell, 28, said—Alter the prisoner was ha'
custody I searched her bedroom, and in a basket under ha
bed I found a large quantity of plate, wearing apparel, and
other property belonging to her master.
Police constable 163 said—l was on duty in Coleman-
street on Saturday night last, about half-past 9, when my
attention was called to a quantity of smoke coming from
the second-floor of No. 69, Coleman-street. I saw there
was a fire and I accordingly gave the alarm, but not being
able to olitain any answer from within, and hearing there
were children in the house, I broke open the door and ran
upstairs, but the smoke was so cause that I could get no
further than t.e first floor. I came down again, and while
I took charge of the door another officer succeeded in
making his way to the room where the children were in
bed, and brought them safely away. We, however, soon
found that the fire had not got any great hold, and it was
therefore easily extinguished. About five minutes alter the
children had been removed 'the prisoner came beck and
seemed to be much affected et what had occurred, but did
not make any inquiry as to what was the matter. She them
I went upstairs, and shortly afterwards the prosecutor came
home and she then wanted to go away ; but I de-
tained her, as the prosecutor suspected she knew more
about the fire than 010 was disposed to admit.
Mrs. Gin, the female searcher at the Moor-lane station,
I said—l searched the prisoner, sod found on her a purse con-
taining V. 13s. 6d., a handkerchief marked " E. F. 5.,"
and some other articles, which the prosecutor identified as

Mr. Jagllts Smith slid—The prisoner has been in ray ser-
vice aboat four months.
Alderman Hunter—Had you s character with bet?
Mr. Smith—Well, mr, I took her into my service under

- -
" .
ry pusher circumstances.
Sir R. W. Carden—Very peculiar indeed. I perfectly
reeollect them. This woman was brought before me at the
Mansion Rouse on a charge of vagrancy, and from the ,
plausible tale she told I was induced to think that she was
a very unfortunate but deserving creature. Mr. Smith saw
the report of the cue in the newspapers, and kindly offered
'Ur take her into his service to save her from a prison.
Within a fortnight after that, from Inquiries I instituted, I
ikeovered that she was a drunken, worthless character,
and that she robbed her mistress in her last place. Upon
receiving this information, I communicated to Mr. Smith
the facts I had learned, but he very kindly said he would
give her a fair trial as she had behaved very well the short
time she had been in his house.
Mr. Smith—And she has behaved remarkably well ; in
fact, everything I could wish up to the time I returned
home on Saturday sight last. I had been about from home
about a month, and whin I went away I locked everything
up safe, but I now find that property of all kinds has been
made away with, and I cannot possibly tell the amount at
present of my lass, ss upwards of 20 cwt. of goods have been
abstracted from my drawers is my abuses. When I came
home I saw the prisoner going in at the door, and es some of
the burnt clothes had been taken from the drawers, which
were locked. I asked her for an explanation, but she seemed
totally ineapeble of aoessatiog for anything.
The prisoner was here seised with • fit of delirium tre-
mens, and was obliged to be supported out of court, bat in
about half an hoer she was brought back, sad the exami-
nation was resumed.
Mr. Smith—All the property produced here to-day be-
loses to me, sad was locked up in my drawers.
Sir R. W. Carden—lt was very kind in you, Mr. Smith,
to give the prisoner the trial you have, but I was afraid no
good would result from it, as I Bever knew en instance of
such a sod& a reform is • eonermed drenkard.
It was here intimated that then Wee a vacs uriount of pro-
perty yet to be traced, and it mothered= desirable to have
aripurameat.
The pri.oser was accordingly remanded.
