person of Hemp Dickinsoo.
On the afternoon of the sth of October, one of the City
poliwisonstablee was peadeg through Little Britain, when
he observed the two prisoners, and they appeared to be
having an altercation with a cabman about something or
other, and Smith asked the cabman to give him his chain.
His suspicion war excited, especially when the cabman
handed him • gold chain which the mowers, it tip=
had offered to sell him. He asked them how they

and Newbury acquiesced in this statement, end
it appeared that they had offered to sell the chain
to the nehmen for half • mown, and he had
offered • shilling, the value of the chain Wing more
then 81. The officer was not satisfied with the
prisoners' statement, and he very properly took them into
custody Lod made inquiries into the matter. The result of
these inquiries was that it turned out that very shortly
before the sth of October • lad named Dickinson, wbo was
in the service of • jeweller named Chapman, in Thayer
inn, was not with • parcel of jewellery among which was
the chain in question, to • customer, sad as he was Friss
along the Farringdoadred be was assailed by a number of
boys, who bustled and streak him and robbed him of the
property that was in his charge, end he identified both the
penmen as being of the party, the primmer SW* although
the younger, being the most active in the affair.
'Me jury found both prisoners Guilty, and an officer
formed the court that Smith had been previously convicted,
and be was such • bid boy that his parents would sot take
the least interest in him, as they said they had done ail
they could to reform him, but it was of no avail.
The Recorder Bestowed Newbury to three menthe hard
labour, sod Smith to be imprisoned for one month and thee
to be kept In a reformatory for three yews.
Janice Diamond, 17, plaided guilty to • °barge of steal-
ing tee shawls and • large quantity of Alpaca cloth, the pro-
pirty of his master, James %sods Kell.
Mr. Nicholson, who was instructed to defend the prisoner,
called the attention of the court to the fact that the wo-
party stolen by the prisoner bad bean pledged with so ties
than fourteie different pawnbrokers, all of whom seemed to
have taken the property, which was sew, and of • deselp-
tow that must have attracted suspicion, without making
the least inquiry. He urged that this proceeding was cal-
culated to induce peewee to commit cri me, and mid be be-
lieved that but for the facility that bad been afforded by
the pawnbrokers, the prisooer would not have been able to
plunder his employer to the extent he had dose.
The Recorder directed the pawnbrokers to stand forward,
and he pot questions to such of themes wen in
attend-
ance, the result of which appeared to be that they bad
taken the property in pledge, end that it was of the de-
scriptiou stated. They said that they 'eked the prisoner
whether the property belonged to him, end he rid that it
did, and they considered this& perfectly satisfactory answer.
The Recorder inquired of some of the witless., whether
it was not notorious in their experieses, that • thief when
be went to pledge stolen property, always mid that it be-
longed to him ? He then gave directiose that nose of the
pawnbrokers should receive their expeness.
Edward Pleurae, 28, warehouseman, and William
Looker, 36, smith, were charged with steeling • quantity of
iron grates mad other articles, the property of James Yates
and others.

Mr. Gifford prosecuted. The prisoner Flatman pleaded
guilty, and the other prisoner was defended by Mr.
Oppenheim.
The prceeoutors in this case are the proprietors of the
Rotherham Iron Works, in Thamesstreet, when they
carry. on an extensive bueinem, sad the primmer Mathias
was in their barrios as warehouseman. It appeared that
for a very considerable time property bad bees missed from
the stock, but the guilty parties were not discovered
until recently. The evidence left no doubt that

common, was in the constant habit at going with
a horse and cart to the prosecutors' warehouse,
for the ostensible purpose of porn/ming amino's,
sold by them, tad that, by connivance with the
other prisoner, a much larger quantity of property was da-
lkvend to him than be actually purchased, and by this
means the prosecutors had been phiaderei to a very large
=tent. It was gives in evidence in the course of the case
that the pr soot Looker need to dispose of the grates tied

builders in a small way in his own neighbourhood, charging
nearly she full value for them, so that be most have made
a very geed thing out of the different transectioes.
The jury returned a verdict of Osailfy, and the Beemder,
Jitter keening that the on. of the preriener Loam, was a
vs/ bad one, aid that there was no doubt that he bad in-
duced the other prisoner to rob his employers to • very
ariona .:tent, sentenced him to five years' penal servi-
tude. The other prisoner was sentenced to eighteen
months hand labour.

Mr. Sleigh, who appeared for the &shoos, made an ear-

Mr. Gifford, who appeared for the praemutics, said it
was perfectly true that the primmer had be.. a most ex-

man, was iudieted for unlawfully obtainieg. is the county of
Surrey, by false preteacee, the sum of 201., with intent to
defraud.

Mr. Serjeant Ballantine (specially retained), Mr. RAM.,
and Mr. P. H. Lewis, were instructed by the South Waiters
Railway Company to conduct the prosecutioe ; the primmer
was defended by Mr. Best sad Mr. Langford.
In the owe for the prosecution the learned

the jury to my whether the testimacy for the momenthis
or that for the defame was to be believed. The learned

I would be recollected, be said, that oe the 7th of Jess in the
presset year • very calamitous ancideat bad bummed to an
Smoot train at a place called P4hern, by which unfortunately
a number of lives were lost, and a still larger number of
persona wars injured, The company, on inquiring into the
matter, felt it their duty to make ample oompossatioc, end

the prisoner at the bar, and he met • letter to the
of the company, saying that be bad been severely .=

were overwhelmed at the time, did not answer the letter the

on the secretary in company with hi. solicitor, when the
former represented has having been in the train at
the time of the collision, and the company believing his
statement pee him a cheque foe 201. before be left the
office. Shortly after this time the prisoner left his wife and
family and went to reside at Plymouth, where he was
apprehended. Soon after this it became limited &beet
that the prisoner had received compensation for as injury
he had received at Flamm, and people were very much sur-
prised, for they had seen the prisoner on the afternoon of the
day of the accident, so that it was impossible that he
could have received the injuries as he bed alleged, and me-
sons would be called who had sees the prisoner in London
at two o'clock. at four o'clock. and at six o'clock, so that it
would be morally impossible for him to be at Eglasee at 7.10,
which was the time the accident coeurred. No doubt there
would be very modieting testimony, and there could likewise
be no doubt that there must be perjury on one side or the
other. After it o'clock the prisoner was net again ems
