Henry Lewis was eharied with stealing two rings and •
couple of sleeve links from his employee, Messrs. Gatbaude
and Co., Lawrence-bine, foreign importers. The prisoner
bad been in the prosecutors' employ for five years. A
number of articles had lately been mimed from the jewel-
lery department, and suspicion falling upon the prisoner
he was questioned, and at first denied but afterwards ad-
mitted taking them away. His lodgings were searched, and
a number of the articles ware found. The prisoner said be
bought some of them out of the stock, but it was proved to
be contrary to the rules of the house for the young men to
purchase from she stock without taking a receipt ticket from
Mr. Gatbaude, and this course bad not been adopted by the
prisomr. The prosecutor, however, only charged the prt
goner with taking the two rings and sleeve links, and he
was desirous that the case should be summarily disposed
of, sa it was the young man's fief offenoe.
The prisoner pleaded guilty. Sentenced to four months'
imprisonment.

chambermaid to his room, wheat the defendant's wife came
up and behaved insolently to him. The defendant then
came also, and spoke to him about some napkins. He told
the defendant to leave the room, but be refused, whereupon
witness took hold of his coat and put him out. The de-
fendant rushed back and struck him several blows on the
bead and chest. . _ . . .

been a severe assault he should send the defendant to
prison, but es he believed it was only a scuffle, he should
discharge the summons.
