Frit: Twit, a native of Pruaini, was charged with enter-
ing the dwelling-house of Mr. Roberts, photographer,
Ch'ing-crags, and stealing from the bedroom of Mrs.
Itonert•• chain. a bruelet,aad a silver French ouiu, together
worth 5/. 10•, from the bedroom.
The prisoner being unable to speak a word of English,
iceicosistable Reimers, A 595, was sworn to interpret.
This armor is a German, but speaks English with perfect
ease sad accuracy.
Mrs. Lavinia Edith Roberta deposed—List night between
and 8 o'clock I went upstairs to my bedroom, on the
third door, and I found the prisoner in the room. He WSJ
standing close against the door. I him who he was
rod what he wanted ? Ho replied in Germanthat he could
out speak English sad did not understand me.
Mr. Henry—Do you speak German ?
Mrs. Roberta—Enough to understand what he said, beat
out enough to speak to him in German. He went down
stain, and I followed him. A gentleman who wu in the
drawing mom, hearing me speaking to some one on the
stain, came out upon the landing, intercepted the prisoner,
and detained him while a policeman wae sent for. He
dropped the bracelet, chain, and coin on the stairs. Upon
returning to the room, I found that several articles of
clothing had been disturbed from the drawers and thrown
on the door.

Policeman Kiln* 511 A, deposed that he wee sent for to
take the prisoner in custody. A gentleman was detainieg
him on the stain. The chino, bracelet, and coin ware lying
et his feet.

Reimers translated the evidence to the prisoner, who de•
demi to crows:Asinine the witnesses, and pleaded guilty to
the charge of stealing the bracelet, chain, and coin, brat said
be knew nothing about the clothes. He stated that he was
a nail maker, and had left Prussia nine days hack
to come to London in march of work, and
strived in London on Monday night. He admitted
that he had nut done any work for three years, during
whtcb period he had been travelling from place to place in
boosro country.
Mr. Henry—What has he done with his passport?
Reimers (after asking the prisoner)—He says he sold it.
Mr Henry—He can't have 11011 e that.
lkmen—l em sorry to say that it is a very common
thing. There are a good many foreign thieves in this
&entry, and when one of them wants to gc to his own
enontry he bays a passport from some one newly arrived
takiaz care that the descnption answers. He then returns
in 114 own country, and pretends that he has only been in
Ekland a few days, and that the passport is his own. I
don't sse that the prisoner is a thief, or that he has know-
jetty sold his passport to a thief, for I have no knowledge
of hull. But I know that there is such a system.
311. Henry—lf he sold his passport he must have known
ea, bought for • had purpose. Tell him he must know
that he had no right to sell his passport.
