THE POLICE COURTS.

(THIS DAY.)

BOW .STREET.
AxoTzza CIGI OF ILLLPFOMANLt.

Edwin Hu ii-e,,;;olisTn;w Wiejilernlutly appeannee,
sou brought up on remand charged with stealing 1G photo-
graphic • carte de visite" portrait' of " Commodore Nutt"
from the American Photographic Agency, No 1. Strand.
From the *values it appeared that the prisoner h t.I
several times called at the agency and looked 1./ re r
photographs, sometimes making purchases. Oa Goa oc-
casion Mr. Louis Lavatt, the agent who has charge of
the establishment, observed him patting in his pocket some
photograph, for which he had not paid. Mr. Luatt, bow.
ever, did not stop him on that (=said' thinking it would be
better to wait till he called again. sad thea get some one
else to watch him. so that there might be corroborative
evidence. A few days afterwards the prisoner came again.
Mr. Lavatt called in a friend who has offices in its
same bond, and who observed the prisoner's movements.
They both saw him pot the photographs in hit
protect. On being taxed with the theft, he at once ad-
mitted it. produced the "cartes* from his pocket and gars
them op. At the statimehouse, and also before the magis-
trates he said that he took them out of revenge, as in some
private transaction he °Doddered that the proprietor of
the establishment had injured him. Mr. Lovett appeared
to be at a loss to understood whom the prisoner weld wean
by the "proprietor,' as the catablisliment belongs to a
New York company.
Upon the primed occasion Mr. Beard appeared as
solicitor for the prided, aed dated that the prosecutor
was not in attoodance, and in fact did not mean to attend.
He (Mr. Beard) had received a letter (which he pr.duced) in
which the peosecutor expressed his desire to witlidi air from
the CUPS. There could be no doubt that the pr.,,,er had
does that which war utterly unjustifiable in tairitg the
photogrephe, but then was so doubt. also, that at the time
he was in each a state of mead as to be utterly unconscious
of the criminality of his act.

Mr. VaughariSnid there really appeared to be some T 63.011
for that supposition. It struck hint from the first that the
opts:mem with which the prisoner from the first crowed that
be bad the photographs was hardly consistent with a muse
of guilt. Under all the circumstances be should not inset
upon the prosecutor going on with the case. The prisoner
might be discharged.
