TILE POLICE COURTS.

Ifoiry Woof/rand hose Lyons, umbrella manufacturers,
were brought up fur further examination, charged under
the late statute, with obtaining and disposing or goosle,
within three months of their bankruptcy, with intent to
defraud their creditors. .

On a former occasion evidence of pledging goods to a large
amount was given.
Jo eph Parrinton, accountant, stated that he was ap-
plied to by the creditor. of the bankrupts, to go into a
statement of their affairs, and advised that they should be
made bankrupt on 6th November last, and the fiat was
dated 19th November. The bankrupts stated to him that
they had been in business together since 12th October,
DIA From the examination of their affairs it appeared
' that their debts were 6,492/. IN. Id , and their assets, as
they stated the cost prices of their stock,were 2,1361. 114 s. 9d.,
but the goods afterwards sold for I,ollf. By a comparison
of their assets, liabilities, and espenditure, there appeared
a deficiency of 3,0001., which they accounted for by their
being in the habit of selling goods at a great sacrifice, and
from their having pledged goods to a considerable
amount. By their books it appeared they had pledged
goods with Muncaster and Warre, of Skinner street, Snow-
hill,
to the amount of 1,204!., the duplicates for
which had been green up. The bankrupts stated, from
memory, that they had disposed of goods to the amount of
8,0001., which was overstated, hut the amount was very
large. They showed their hooks voluntarily to the witness,
which were tolerably well kept, and there were accounts
with ri gard to the transactions alluded to, and nu other
pledgiugri or aellings had been discovered hut those on the
books. At a meeting of some of the creditors an assign-
ment was proposed, and agreed to, and the bankrupts
signed a declaration of insolvency.
John Allan, warehouseman to Messrs. Ellis and Evering.
ton, of St. l'aurs.churchyard, said that on the 27th of
September, 1861, he sold to Lyons 100 parcels of silks, of
the value of 664/., which he stated were for the purposes of
his trade. They were sold for October, by which he got
another month's credit.

The bankrupts' clerk proved, from the books, that the
above fronds were received by the bankrupts on the 29th of
September, and sold to one Ilartt on the 3Uth of September,
fur 543/. 34. Md.

Mr. .1. J. Foote, silk manufacturer, of Spital.square,
stated that he had seen goods pledged with Muncaster and
Warne for 8001 or 9001., which had been obtained from his
firm. The bankrupts were indebted to him 2,3121. Within
• month of their failure, on his expressing unwillingness to
extend their credit, they assured him that " everything was
right," by which they obtained a further credit, making
their debt upwards of 2,0001. Some of the witness's goods
were pledged on 12th September, and the amount obtained
from him within three months of the bankruptcy was about
3001. In the month of September Lyons called and said
that the " buyer " of Phillips, of Manchester, was expected ;
that he wished to have soma goods for him to look at ; and
that those which were taken would be kept and the rest
returned. On 25th the bankrupts' clerk called, and 16
pieces of silk were delivered to lam for this purpose, seven
of which had been pawned on 15tb, 18th, and 20th
October.

St. Paul's-churchyard. on Vad October sold to Lyon. three
lots of silk for 298/ Is.. 3d., of which about one-sixth had

Jane Connell and Mary :Uwe, two elegantly dressed
women, were charged with having uttered several counter-
feit half-crowns at the Pantheon Bazaar, Oxford-street.
Eton.. Stocker said she was an assistant at a stall in the
Pantheon Bazaar. On Monday lust, between three and
four in the afternoon, the prisoner Connell came to her
stall and purchaser' an article which came to sixpence' in
payment for which she gave what appeared to be a good
half-crown piece, and she gave her the change out. The
prisoner then joined the prisoner Stove, and they both
walked away, and directly they were gone she discovered
that the half-crown was a counterfeit. She immediately
went in search of them, but did not find them, and she saw
no more of them until yestenlay, when she saw them out-
side the Pantheon. She told one of the officers, who fol-
lowed them and brought them back to the Bazaar, where
they were detained till a police constable arrived, when
the' were given into custody.
Cross-examined by Mr. Cross, solicitor—When the pri-
soners were brought back they both stoutly denied ever
seeing her before. When she found the coin was bad she
wrapped it in a piece of paper and gave it to her mistress,
in whose charge it has remained ever since. She never saw
Connell before last Monday, and was certain so to the
identity of the two prisoners. She had not left more than
live minutes before she discovered the halt crown was •
counterfeit.

Isabella Reid said, the kept a Berlin wool counter in the
Pantheon. On Christmas eve, about half-past four o'clock,
the prisoner Connell came to her counter and purchased
two yards of gold thread, which came to threepence, and
tendered a half-crown in payment. Witness gave her
2a. ad. change, and the prisoner left the place. After the
bazaar was closed witness went into a shop close by to pur-
chase something, and in payment put down the coin she
hod received from the prisoner, when it was returned to her
so bad. She was positive the hall'-crown produced is the
same the took from the prisoner.
Sarah Emblem said she kept a stand in the Pantheon
Bazaar for the sale of jewellery. On the 31st of December
last the prisoner Connell came to her stand and purchased
an article which came to sixpence, and gave her
crown in payment, which she immediately detected as bad,
and returned it to her again. Was positive the prisoner was
the pen
Mr. superintendent Otway, C division, stated that on
' Thursday evening, about rive o'clock, the prisoners were
brought in a cab to the station, and that after the constable
bad taken them into the station, he looked at the bottom
of the cab, and found a bad half-crown lying under the
mat.

Robards, one of the warrant officers attached to this
court, said he received charge of the prisoners at the Pan-
theon, and while in his custody at the polio, station
they said they were strangers to each other, and had met
et the bazaar accidentally. Ile had since eseertained, from
inquiries he bad made, that they were sisters.
Inspector Whall, C division, said the prisoners at the
station gave their address, 31, Edward-street, Ilampstead-
road. He had caused inquiries to be made there, but they
were not known.

Mr. Craw, on behalf of the prisoners, said there was
not the slightest evidence to connect Stove with being an
accomplice of Connell. He, therefore, trusted his wor-
ships would discharge her, and not remand her with Con-
Mr. Ilardwick decided upon remanding them both till
Thursday next.
WESTMINSTER.

Janus C. Maitry,ll:s;Williomv
Burfon,l74 ; and Ed-
ward Fwasidge, 77, three police constables of the B divi-
sion, wore charged under the following circumstances:
Mr. Ashley, solicitor, stated that on the evening of the
2nd inst. a soldier went into the house of Mr. Underwood,
the Prince of Wales, Princes-street, Westminster, and upon
the landlord refusing to *ern him with a emend glass of ale
until he had paid for the first, attacked him, and knocked
him down. Mr. Underwood's son (a boy) seeing his father
thus ill treated, brought him • truncheon which was hang-
ing up in the bar, but the soldier wrested it from him and
ran out of doors with it. Mr. Underwood went out In
pursuit of him, and found defendant Burton in the street.
This policeman coolly told him that he had seen all that
bad occurred, and had got out of the way, as he had made
up his mind not to interfere in the matter. Mr.
Underwood immediately took his number, told him
that be should represent his conduct to the
Olembibeien of Police, and returned home. In
Mese twenty minitues afterwards, while sitting in his =
bar-
he was alarmed by a great noise opposite his me,
and upon going into his bar, found that it was occa-
sioned by the presence of the soldier before spoken of, the
three defendants, and a crowd of persons. Mr. Underwood
then desired Furmidge to take the soldier into custody, but
instead of complying with his request, the three defen-
dants rushed into the house, pinioned Mr. Underwood,
and dragged him out with great violence, one of
them seizing him by the hair of the head. Two or three
females, the wives of respectable persons lodging in his
house, endeavoured to prevent his being dragged out of his
own premises, when a girl was struck on the throat by one of
the fellows, who, by dint of superior strength, carried Mr.
Underwood off without his hat to the station, where the
invector on duty refined to entertain the charge, and libe-
rated the complainant.
This statement was confirmed by a great number of wit-
nesses.

iii.Broderip said he would not affect to pronounce any
judgment, but a very strong and most serious prima fade
case bad been made out against the defendants. Ito should
send them all for trial, but would take bail.
