GUILDHALL.

Two respectably-dressed men, named Spark, and Geet,
were placed at the bar, the former charged with stealing,
and the latter with receiving, a quantity of fat, knowing it
to have been stolen.
From the evidenoe of Smith. the detective officer of the
City police, it appeared that he and another officer named
Legge received information that a great deal of proF arty
had for some time beep disappeatiog from the pennies of
Menus. Beebow and Co, 12, Little Britain. Certain cir-
cumstances transpired, and Sparks was taken into custody
on suspicion of being the person who had stolen the fat,
and then both officers proceeded to 27, Hackney-oval, where
they took Gent, who earned on the business of a manufric•
taring perfumer, into custody. They told him of the robbir7,
and afterwards searched the house, when tliey discovered
two tin cans which had contained fat. On being askcd to
explain bow he became possesecd of the property, he said
he had bought it, in the regular way of trade, from a per-
son who had called upon him. They then took him into
custody, and when they arrived at the station house Spa:' s
was brow,ht from his cell, and Gent waa asked if that was
the person r f whom he had bought the fat ; he replied that
it was, and said he had no idea it had been stolen. Before
they took Gent from the house his wife case about to make
some observation, when he immediately checked hic and
told her to be quiet, and say nothing. There were three or
four boys at work in one of the back rooms filling pomade
pots, but when he (Smith) searched the prisoner Gent's hal-
ide, he could hardly find a single invoice or receipt for pay-
ment of material. with which be carried on his trade.

Some further evidence having been given, the prisoners
were remanded mad Wednesday next.
