THE POLICE COURTS.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Edward Sinews, who appeared to be about 19 yeah of
age, was brought before Alderman Wilson, charged with
robbing Messrs. A. Bauer and Co., bullion dealers, of No.
113, Leadenhall-street.
The robbery had been first discovered to the firm by the
instrumentality of a little fin, who had ran away from his
parent., and who on returning to them said to his father
that the prisoner had supported him in his absence from
home.
Mr. Ellis A. Franklin, manager at Messrs. Dauer and
Co.'s said the prisoner has been employed in our establish-
ment about two years, and he boarded in the house and re-
ceived a certain amount of wages. His business was to
draw cheques, receive money, and occasionally purchase
coins, and do the general duty of a clerk. On Tuesday
last, in consequence of information which I received, I said
to him that I had been made acquainted with the fact that
he was very irregular in his habits, and in the habit of
spending more money than he was warranted in spending,
and also that I found he had been keeping company with
a youth who had left his parents. I demanded an
explanation of his conduct, and said the youth whom be
bad been supporting had disclosed to me his habits of
drinking and other irregularities. He denied the state-
ment, and said that the money he had expended was laid
out in protecting a boy who had been deserted by
his friends. The youth who informed me of the proceed-
ings of the prisoner, had stated to me, to the effect, thatthe
prisoner had been Waling coins belonging toddeasrs. Bauer
and Co., and that a conspiracy had been formed to rob our
premises of all the money and gold contained in them. At
a subsequent interview with the prisoner, at a house in
Newington Butts, I requested him to surrender all the pro.
perty he had about him. He did so. It consisted of a
purse containing a few shillings and two pawnbroker's
tickets for 3 five-franc coins.
Alderman Wilson—l never knew that pawnbrokers took
money in pledge before.
Witness—Perhaps, the prisoner did not like to go to
dealers in coins, in the apprehension that he should be
known. I then searched his waistcoat pocket, and I found
there a genuine cheque for 3001., which purported to be
drawn by J. Bauer, payable to " Edward" (the prisoner).
The prisoner had been instructed to take the chequiwhich
was drawn upon the Manchester Bank for a particular
purpose ; but, as the money had been forwarded teamthat
concern before he reached at, the cheque was not required
to be transmitted. lie ought to have returned it the rase
day to the firm. When I took it from his pocket I said to
him "You detained this cheque for some improper pnr-
pose." I supposed he intended to have filled it up. The
prisoner replied that he had picked it out of the waste
paper basket. I then took the prisoner to a heave in order
that he might be confronted with the boy who had in-
formed me of the plan to plunder the house, and to the re-
petition of that boy's assertions ho made no reply. In
answer to my charge against him that he had stolen the
coins, he said he had purchased them with his own
money, but be could not tell of whom be had bought them.
Yesterday I gave him into custody, sad charged him at
the station-house with stealing coins, and also with con-
spiracy to plunder. Before he was taken into custody he
wrote a letter, acknowledging that he had stolen from time
to time about 201. worth of coins.
Alderman Wilson—Did you say anything to induce him
to write that conCesion
Witness—l did. I said that I could not ascertain to what
extent he had plundered us, and I urged him to put on
paper some representation of what he had done to the best
of his recollection.
Alderman Wilson—State more particularly what you
said.

Witness—l said we should take a more merciful consi-
deration of his conduct if he made a clean breast, and told
as the whole truth. That I believe was the extent of the
condition. I told him it would be drawn out from him in a
court of justice.
Alderman Wilson—Had you at the time sent for •
policeman ?
Witness—l bad not.
The Prisoner—The cheque was given up by me. That's
all I have to asy.
Alderman Wilson (to the prisoner)—Wby did you write
the letter ?
The Prisoner—ln conoequence of the representation that
if I made a confession it would be better for me, and I
might go abroad and regain my character.
Witness—l am quite willing that he should have every
credit for what he Me coefeesed.
A pawnbroker gesillesed three coins, which he said the
prisoner had pledged is the name of Bartell.
The first witness said he had no moral doubt that the
coins were his employer's property.
The prisoner was then remanded.
Win. Meord was charged with having embesaled his mu-
ter's money.
This was a ease arising from the " betting-house" sys-
tem.
Mr. Kempenr said that having seen the prisoner in a
Hull steamer with some bad companions, and having learned
that he had robbed his master, 110 gave the necemary direc-
tions to the police.
The Chaplain to the Compter said he had bad an oppor-
tunity of ascertaining from the prisoner that the first
temptation under which ho bad plundered his employers
was the temptation afforded by the belting houses, which
were, indeed, the source of innumerable robberies. Ile re-
gretted to bear the testimony of his experience to the fact
that the crime was most awfully on the inmate. A boy
had just been brought in who confessed that he had begun
hie career of crime by plundering his master to pay his
betting debts, and that there would be soon plenty more ,
like him, for ono-half of the young men in London fre-
quented the betting houses. It was also a fact, and one to I
which it might not be unnecessary to call the attention of
those who were secure of winning, that it Was the practice
of prisoners who totally lost their characters, sad had no
means of obtaining employment upon leaving prison, to
open betting shops, and the day before the run to disap
pear with the money collected from their victims.
Alderman Wilson said it gave the magistrates very
groat concern to see the increase of these N rnicious betting
shops. Its regretted sincerely that they bad no power or
control of any kind over them, but lie believed that the evil
was becoming so monstrous that it would cure itself.
Doubtless the government would be compelled to take cep
the question, for the consequence of the want of a remedy for
such a serious evil would be ruin or the destruction of the
peace of many families before the meeting of the nest par-
liament.
The Alderman directed that the wretched boy who hod
• been brought up on a previous d and been sent bock in
order that the ease should be further investigated, should
be brought up on • future occasion.
CLERKENWELL.
Gentle Clarks, • muter hod and shoemaker, residing at
Ludgate-cettage, Kingsland, was charged with en indecent
es elt upon Sarah Middleton, a child tel years of age,
residing with her parents, poor penoni; in Bull-yard,
Kingsland.
The prisoner, who is an elderly man, visited the parents
of the prosecutor, and during their absence he took the ad-
vantage, and was guilty of the conduct charged.
