Two young men, 11111011 d Josses and Sherstan, were brought
up on remand,
.cliarged with attempting to steal a watch,
sod with consprecy to defraud. On Saturday, the let of
October, a fire took plum at a house in the Strand, next to
Sergerot Ackrill. who was on duty there in
plain clothes, observed the prisoners and mother man trying
the pockets of various persons in the crowL There were
between 230 and 300 persons assembled. Sherman tried the
pockets of several ladies. They then went up to a gentle-
man in the crowd, and Sherman took the gentleman's watch
from his pocket, the other prieonen covering his operations.
But before Sherman could break the watch away from the
chain the gentleman perceived that his pockets were being
handled, and buttoned up his °oat, the watch still haze-
lsg loose at the mid of the chain. At that moment the
prisoners and their companion perceived that they were
watched, and immediately darted amass the greet,
pushing through the crowd the beet way they mild.
Ackrill followed, araliseised Jones,aod gave Steams, into the
custody of Fitzgerald, 50 F. Sherman made desperate
efforts to escape, and, in the course of the straggle, took a
pair of handcuffs from his pocket. Ackrill tried to take
them tram him, bat he threw them into the middle of the
crowd, and they bad not shim been found. When the pri-
soners were brought to the court the magistrate wee pre-
pared to commit them for attempting to pick pockets, but
Acknll, suspecting that there was acme mystery attached
to the handcuffs, applied for a remand. I, the interval be

September the prisoner Sherman came to my shop with
two small Inverness capes (boys'), which he offered
to sell for Is. I mid that thee were not worth it,
but offered him 2s. Sc., which he accepted. Be
went away, and about two minutes afterwards
Jones came in and mid in a loud tone of voice, " You have
bought two coats from a young lad ; they are stolen pro-
perty. lam a police rionstable, and I shall take you into
custody. I have been watching your house for about a
month, and now I barb got you to rights" Be they went
behind the coaster and took from hie pocket a pot hand-
cuffs, and mid, "You must put your bosnet en and go
with me to the static-bow for none* these clothes,

well knowing them to Ite Malan. I Nat the thief on

ib( for him to return sad Mira your plans" I said, " Why
did yos not brief bask the thief!" He replied, " I could
not do that ; it is my duty to send him on to the station."
After a while he said he would take the clothes dove to
the station and make up a tale to get me off. He went sway
with the two east'. I afterwards mentioned the matter to
a friend, who suggested that I had been imposed upon, so
I watt to the statiosikosse to inquire, and found he was not

Beth prisoners were committed for trial.

For the defence three gestleanen were called who spoke in

and child, disavowing his being even and., the tedusees of

slightest pretext for this most grave charge. The law
as it stood forbade him from befog put into the wiles-a-box
that he might give a broad denial wan oath. Yr. Bennett
