THE POLICE COURTS.

GUILDHALL

William Pinder', a triVe7lle;lOtii; employ of Mr. Foley,
en importer of fancy goods, carrying on busineee at 19,
Thaviee-inn, wee plaa4 at the bar before Alderman Hale,
charged wi.h the following robbery of jewellery.
Mr. Beard coodtetri the defence.

Felix Foley said—The prisoner was in my employ as a
traveller on salary and commission. I import foreign fancy
goods, and three weeks before he left my service I entrusted
b;m with jewellery and other goods, to the value of 801.,
with which he went out ou his rounds. He returned from
that journey, and on the next journey he took the box of
jewellery away with him, and did not agate return. I went
to his borne on Saturday. and found the ;chimer there in a
state of intoxication, sod he told me had got drunk and lost
the box containing the jewellery.
Packman, the detective sergeant, sold—l took the prisoner
into custody on this charge, and be told me that he wart
home on Friday, after seeing Mr. Foley, to ge:, the box of
jewellery in mder to return it, and that he got drunk and
lost it.
Cross-examined—l found no trace of the property, but he
took me to more than a dosso public-houses where be bad
been on the Friday, at some of which his visits were recol-
lected. I find be is addicted to drunlmonees, and his family
and home are very much impoverished thereby. I under.
stand that he was seen on that day drunk and with about
2/. in silver in his possession, although he left home that
orning with only 2.5., and I therefore think be has left the
jeweils', somewhere as security for money he has borrowed,
but if publicity is given to the case, I believe if the pro-
perty has fallen into honest hands it will be forthcoming.
Mr. Bend said—The prisoner was so drank that be does
sot actually remember where he left the box, but if you
will allow him his liberty to go with the officer he may pro-
bably find the property.
Mr. Foley—Under all the circumstances I think it will be
better to liberate the prisoner on his own recognisseees
Alderman Hale—l canoot do that after bearing Packman's
endows of the prisoner having raised money on the pro-
perty. I therefore remand the prisoner till Wedoriday
next, and will as wt one bail in 2U. and the prisoner's
recognisance for 501.

Mr. Dickie, the b;irTisier,;;PrieltoMr. Ingham to have
• summoes in which he was concerned taken that.

Mr. Dickie was about to addrem his worship, when Mr.
leaden' stopped him and said he meld not go into the ease,
eq there was no proof that the defendant had received ser-
vice of the summate. It would have to stand over until
Mr. Roe had returned. The oneoplainant was told to sorer-
Min when Mr. Roe bad returned, and another munmeas
