THIS POLICE COURTS.

GUILDHALL.
Poesy Amnon, a hawker, and We.. White, a youth,
were brought up en a warrant from Birmingham, and
charged, the former with being concerned with the latter
in stealing eleven diamond rings, vales 3001., the property
of Mu Walton, the goklamith, of Ludgate-hilt.
Christopher Walton said that on the 17th of October last,
about bar past eye is the afternoon, be was in hi counting-
house, his maintain baying left the shop, when the prisofter
White entered the shop. Prosecutor seeing hint standing
there, beckoned him into the counting-house, when pri-
soner asked him if lie kept plated studs at 2a. 6d. per set,
and receiving a reply in the negative, he walked to-
wards the shop door, and prosecutor thinking he was gone,
resumed his writing. In about 3 or 4 minutia afterwards
ho heard a noise of something falling, and on going into the
shop found prisoner standing at the corner of the counter,
near the window. Ile collared prisoner, and asked him
what he was doing there, when prisoner replied by begging
hie pardon, and saying he thought prosecutor was coming
to serve him. Prosecutor did not believe him, but looked
about, and not missing anything, allowed him to go. As
soon as he had gone, prosecutor happening to look on the
ground, saw a diamond ring near the spot where prisoner
had been standing, which induced him to examine the dia-
mond rings tray in the window. He found the window
open, and 11 of the rings gone. The trade value of the 11
nngs was 3001. at least. Ile had seen them safe within half
an hour previous, as he had had occasion to fill up several
vacancies occasioned by sales. No person had entered
the shop besides the prisoner, himself, and his as-
sistant. Prosecutor gave immediate information at the
Pleet.street police station, and helmet handbills offering a
reward for the property. Ito noticed that White wore a
pi cubit set of studs, • description of which he forwarded to
the police of London and the six principal counties, and in
about ten days after he rem 'Ted a communication from the
Birmingham police, that White woe in custody for a similar
offence there, and enclosing one of his shirt studs, welch
prosecutor recognised. Prosecutor then went to Birming-
ham and identified White.
An inspector of the Birmingham pollee deposed that
Jameson was waiting for White outside the gaul door at
Birmingham, he was also proved to have given a false
address.

The idderman, after hearing corroborative evidence, re-
funded both prisoners.

LAMBETH,

The young woman who described herself as Mrs. Caroline
Bishop, the wife of a clergyman of the established church,
was finally examined, on • charge of unlawfully pawning
a quilt end blanket from her ready furnished lodging.
The prat-matrix (a pcor but kind-hearted woman) ad-
mitted having received back the articles which funned the
subject of the present charge, but said that the prisoner
and her husband owed her at present 3&. fur rent—a sum
the want of which distressed her much ; but still it was not
her wish to press the charge against the prisoner, as she
was quite aware that the had been driven to the act by
distress and tho negligence on the part of her husband to
provide for her. The pier woman added that the pri- ,
loner, who was in an exceedingly bad state of health, might
have starved but for her, as fur the last fortnight her
husband had not given her a shilling, so that the proseeu-
trix was obliged to lodge and support her.
Mr. Norton commended the pour woman for her kindness
and humanity, end asked her if Mr. Bishop had given her
any urmey fur the last week, as the rev. gentleman had
positively promised to do
The proaecutrix replied that she had neither seen nor
heard from Mr. Bishop since she had been last at this
court. That gentleman hail been in the habit, she said, of
making very fair promises both to herself and his wife, but
he rare) kept them to either.
Mrs. Bishop, who is an exceedingly good-looking, and
evidently • well-educated young woman, and who was out
on bed, declared she had not seen her husband fur the last
fortnight, nor had she the slightest resistance font him for
that time. She understood, she said, that alter her last
examination Mr. Bishop had attended before his worship
and made some representations injurious to her character.
Mr. Nurtun—Yes; he ha denied your being his wife.
Mrs. Bishop—No doubt be did ; but I am satisfied he
would not have the face to appear in this or any other
court, and in my presence say so.
Mr. Norton—lle positively denies your assertion that
you had been married to him three years ago at Lyming-
ton. le it the fact that you had been so married there
or not

Mn. Bishop—lt is not a fact that Iwu married at Lyre-
ington, but I said so by his directions. The disgrace at-
tendant on the charge it.elf was quite sufficient, without
my acknowledging to anything further.
Mr. Norton—Then, you are not married to him ?
Mrs. Bishop—l ins, not be considered in law as Mr.
Bishop's wife; but morally I feel 1 am so.
The police-constable, who had the ease, here said that
both Mr. Bishop and the prisoner had told him that they
had been married by a catholic priest.
Mr. Norton, to the prisoner—You have heard what the
constable has said, is that true ?
Mn.. Bishop—lt is, sir; we have been married by •
catholic clergyman about three yean since.
Mr. Norton—Where?
Mrs. Bishop—ln the city of Norwich.
Mr. Norton—Do you reculket the name of the clergy-
man?
