THE POLICE COUBT&
_ GUILDHALL. _ _

M. Jacques Aisne Mario Salesman de Gateau, of 103,
Groevenur-equare, appeared in discharge of his ramp
Mumma beton Sir lames Duke to answer a charge, re-
manded from Monday last, of stealing a large quantity of
scrip shares belonging to liners. Vachon and Van de
Cast ale, so representatives of the Californian Franco-
Anglico.Gold Mining Company, of Porn and 18, King's
Arms-yard, Moorgate-street.
Mr. Ciao kson attended for the prosecution, and 11r.
Deareley for the defendant.
After some cosversation between the alderman sad the
learned gentlemen concerned it was arrsnged that the ease
should stand over for another week, when it was proposed
to go fully into the merits of the charge.
The prisoner having renewed hie recognisauces the case
was adjoumed.
James Evans end John Evans, brothers, were placed at
the bar charged, in conjunction with Robert Mead, not in
custody, with the following daring attempt at highway rub•
bcry in Themeastreet :
Mr. Dimsdalo said he was walking along Upper Thames-
street late in the previous evening when he was accented by
the two prisoners and another ruffian. Jas. Evans said to
him, f. Your money or your life," and immediately after
delivered a violent blow on prosecutor's mouth. Witness
called " Police," and the man, who talents:ill escaped,
struck him a terrific blow also on the mouth, and knocked
him down. Ile was however saved from further violence
by the interference of a gentleman who was passing and
came to his assistance on hearing the cry for " Police." lie
followed the prisoners and save them into custody.
Mr. Robinson said he feuded in Queenhithr, and wes re-
turning home on the evening in question, when James
Ryan., in company with his brother and the man not in
custody, demanded" his money or his life," and thinking it
merely• drunken joke, he hurried away from them, and soon
after heard the prosecutor fall end call for assistance. A
policeman was standing at the corner of Itederms•liill, and
refused to render aid. Witness went to the prosecutor, who
resolved to give them in custody, and followed them for ,
that purpose. James Reins threatened to injure witness if
he followed ; but, meeting with a policeman, the two bro. I
then wens apprehended, and the :bird man, who is their
brother-in•law, made his escape through one of the narrow
lanes running up towards Cheapside.
Sir James Duke asked for the name and number of the
policeman who refused to give his assistance.
Witness said ha did not know the name or number of
the officer, but he could easily ascertain it, for he knew the
man ny sight.
Sir James Duke said it was essential, for the safety of
the public, that that officer's conduct should be reported
to and inquired into by the commissioners.
The police-constable 301, who took the charge, said that
when he apprehended the prisoner the prosecutor was
bleeding very much at the mouth.
Sir James Duke asked the prisoners, who denied any
fraudulent intention on their parts, if they could call any
one to speak to their characters ?
Several parties came forward on their behalf, but their
testimony was of such an equivocal suture as to induce the
alderman to remand the cue for further inquiry.
Remanded accordingly.
