By Mr. Sayer—Broughton said she had saved the money
found in her POMSI6O4.
Policeeergeaut Cole, C 23—Yesterday I had Broughton in
my charge in the prisoners' waiting-room of the court.
During the time the other prisoners were being searched,
eosins Broughton put her band to her mouth, I asked her
to open her mouth. She did so, but I did not see anything
in it. I then went with lkoughtois amass the yard towards
the cells, when I saw her move her hand towards Seymore.
I observed something in her heed. I seised her bead,
opened it, and found twelve sovereigns in it wrapped i■
some old pieces of rag. Broughton said the money was
her own, and that it had been paid to her by her Wryer
about a week ago.
By Mr. Sayer—l have known Broughton for years, but I
do not know she is a woman of property. I never heard
she had money, or that she had received money from any

lawyer.
Mr. Sayer—l »present all the prisoners, and on behalf
of Seymore I beg to submit there is no mae against her.
Mr. Knox—l consider there is. She enticed the prose-
cutor into the room, and remained there all the time the
robbery was being committed. I cannot help sending the
j pri•oser before a ury.
Mr. Sayer—The case against Seymore is weak. Ido net
believe there in one person in a thousand who would be
guilty of such conduct as the fool of a prosecutor has been
guilty of. I wish to have the prosecutor recalled to ask him
if he had not some brandy and porter while at the house In
Hiaretreet
Proseentor—l had only a drink of beer, as I stated. I had
no brandy.
The prisoners asserted there were two half-pints of brandy
sent for. _ _ .

THE ROBBERY AT THE ROYAL M LITA RY
CLarnoo &roam, Woocw7Co.—By direction of the War
Department. • court of inquiry composed of officers of the
Royal Artillery, is pow sagged in an iovestiptioo of the
whole of the circumstaacce connected with the extensive
system of robbery which it appears has best carried on for
some time at the Royal Military Clothing Stores, by Poo-
commissioned officers and gunners of the Royal Artillery,
who were employed as cutters and foremen at the establish-
ment. Quartermaster ?dutch, Royal Engineers, who is
commissary of clothing at Woolwich, has been eogaged in
preparing • report on the subject, and a return u being
made of the whole of the stock in store, with a view to
ascertais the toted amount of the property stolen. The
prisoners, who were apprehended in coosequenoe of a din
oovery made by Ling, a detective offiosr of the R division of
I police, were in the first instance ordered to be tried by garrison
court-martial, but they will now roman under arrest
' until the termination of the proceedings at the court of
inquiry and the decision of the War Department thereon.
About oast half of the military cutters employed at the
stores are now in custody, the following being the list :
' Corporal Pinkenham, R.A., at whose mindsets was found a
large quantity of government cloth, stamped with the
breed arrow ; Gamier Hill, R.A., residing at No. 3. Angle.

perty consisting of flannel. cloth, alpaces, die. ; also a new
military jacket made from the best description of officers'
cloth, and on ripping up the garment, the stamp of the
broad arrow was found wider the facing' between the
collar ; Gunner Gibbons, 20, Brook Hill-red, Woolwich,
posiession of flannel and calico bearing the government
brand ; Gunner Cameron, 15, Dundee-Canoe, possessioa of
• large quantity of government cloth and • new

road, Woolwich. possession of a pair of trawlers made from
government cloth; and on this prisoner being taken into
custody at the clothing stores a quantity of flannel was
found in his knapsack ; Gunner Harriegtop, 44, Bloomfield-
road, Pluenstead, who." house whew searched was toped to
contain as much government cloth, flannel, and 'taboo as
two nos could carry ; Gunner Lindsay, possession of
government calico; Gunner Hooper, possession of govern-
' mart cloth, leather, he., to • considerelde extent; and
Ganser Lock, possession of • small amount of the stolen
property. It is fully believed that the deficiency in the
stores will be found to far exceed the amount of stolen
property recovered, and that the system of plunder has
bees carried on fora very long period.

Wednesday fur advice under the following einem-
Mamas. He stated that a person gamed A. G. Grant
