THE POLICE COURTS.

MAAYLEBONE,

Yesterday Georgeiielinon;, aged 21, and Goodwin,
aged 19, were charged with being concerned in stealing
jewels from the residence of Mrs. Goodwin, of York-
place, Purtman.square.
Mrs. Goodwin left England for Boulogne in September,
and before doing so directed her butler to place her jewel-
box in the cellar for security. This was done, and the
door of the cellar was locked and sealed. The butler,
during the absence of his mistress, permitted Bellamy, fur-
, merly a footman in the family, to visit him, and even to
reside in the house. In October Bellamy was suddenly
missing, but the butler was unaware of the abstraction of
the jewellery until he saw it, with the captured Bellamy, in
the hands of the police last Wednesday. The Beals and
paper on the door were then thought of, and it was found
[Fat they had been taken off and subsequently re-fized.
By the vigilante of the police, the jewellery, which In its
original state was worth several hundreds of pounds, but
which the thief had broken up to sell as bullion, was reco-
vered at Dublin, where the two prisoners were also appre-
hended.—The magistrate remanded both prisoners.

SOUTHWARK.
Thomas Little, a cals.driver, plying at. the London and
Brighton Railway, was summoned for refusing a fare.
Mr. Cheater proved that he called defendant from his
rank on Monday last, when the latter refused to carry him,
alleging the mice and regulation.' of the company which
forbid cab drivers taking peasengers while another vehicle
is before them unbired. Prosecutor reminded him of recent
magisterial decisions *asserting the authority of the general
public hackney carriage statute over the bye-laws of railway
companies, but defendant persisted in his refusal; hence the
summons.
For the defence Mr. Sutton, solicitor to the railway corn.
pany, appeared, and contended at length that the company
had a right to enforce their regulations in the yard.
Mr. A'Beckett was clearly of opinion that the law which
mum to the public the right of taking any cab not engaged
was broken by these regulations, and the company would
have to give way. Ho had no doubt whatever upon the
matter.

By the request of the solieitor the ease was adjourned to
Monday, when a similar ease is to be argued.
