Mr. Sleigh begged to draw the atteutioe of the court to
the Mlle of Mr. Caldwell, who tippled the day before for a
Deem which was Termed him. He said his client came
there the previous day uorepethented by mussel. bemuse be
dreamt of no oppossition beteg made to his application. The
opposition which was made was sprung upon him in a I
moment. He hoped the beech would consent to to-bear the
ease, beams if he was deprived of his lioease he would
lone the only mama of enbeistence he had. He was taken
by surprise, and as a matter of justice Red fairness he
hoped the booth would reveres thou decision.
The Chairman eaid he did not think be should be doing
his duty if he were to put the genetics again to the bench.
Mr. Sleigh—There is a precedent.
The Chairman-1 know it, and perhaps it was • very bed
precedent.
Dr. Jervis hoped they would cot go into the thee again.

Mr. Charles Iloilo* applied for a music and dancing
W. ens'.
Mr Poland appeared for the applicant.
Mr. Poland said—lo this Gus lau instructed to apply
to the bench for a limes for &scion to about the beat
music-hall in London, the Oxford. 6, Oxford-street. They
wished for a Remise to enable them ti bare dancing os
the stage by pwiretionsi paid artistes. The Osford
Manic-hall was, as the bench was no doubt aware, one of
the beat, oonducted balls in London, and if she booth granted
• leases it would continue to be so. The bench were no
doubt aware that the Canterbury-ball and the Oxford were
under one management. Mr. Morton had for nearly 20
years been • manger' and during the whole of that time not
a single complaint hod been made against him. The
dancing that would take oleos would be entirely upon the
stage, and the idaos would not be cooverned in any way into a
ammo. Mr. Morton was present, and ready to satire the
beech that what he had said was quite true.
Mr. Kenashead said the bench ought to be careful how
they granted lessees, exiskleing the number of these
hat growing up. He bad little ocialidence in the
tees of 'meager' of halls, and he hoped they wall
weeder the question before coming to any decisioe.
Another magistrate said the great profit in music-halls
was obtained from the liquor, a old. and it would be against
the interests of the proprietors to conceit any portion of
their halls into a amino.
Mr. Morton was then celled, aid in answer to Mr. Poised
said that no dancing by the public should take place if the
court would see fit to grant the Loewe. He had long been
manager of the Canterbury sod Orford Musicnhalls, and he
was gist to say the public bad meadows in him. The
Oxford Musio-hall was a ball patronised by the gentry, and
held a good posies:to.
Lord Ranelagh said be was there the other night, when
• wanes made a slight disturbance, and every one present
stood tip.
Mr. Morton said be happened, upon that exceptiooal
eseasice, to be away from the Mall. Ha was at the hall
nearly every night, and it was under his management. In
referee*, to the matter his lordship had mentioned, that
wee the fault of • subordinate.

A German Jewess, named Gaol Boons, who was stated
is the °barge sheet to be 22 yearn old, but appeared very
much yonager, was brought before the Lord Mayor yester-
day, charged with stealing • gold watch, • silver watch,
ands quantity of wearing apparel. the property of Jamb
Lamm, under rather extraordinary circumstances.
The prosecutor, the poisoner, end the greater pert of the
witnesses were German Jews, who were unable to speak
Eoglisb, and the evidence was expleieed through the
medium of an interpreter. It appeared that the prosecutor
keeps an eating-house in Hatctinson-street, Hoondsditch,
is a large building which waa stated to have formerly
been • palace and a portico of the same premises was
used as • Jewish Synagogue, of which prosecutor
is the beadle. The prisoner seemed to have come to
Eel/lend about five weeks ego from Germany, SODOM-
puled by her husband, but he left her, and she for • short
time took up her abode is the promoutor's house. The
Newly alleged to be stolen by the priaeoer seemed to
have bees removed at swims tomes ; but the gold watch,
which was wadi 91. 10e., was represented By the Pro-
secutor to have been stolen out of his bedroom during the
night of the 4th of October, while he wsi asleep, and so
far se could be understood, it appeared that he heard
some one groping about his room in the dirk, but he
took no notiee, and did not say anything about the matter
until the next day, when he mimed his two watches. A
City constable named Goddard was called in, end he ex-
amined the premises sod discovered that a pertiou of the
wainscot attacked to the synagogue had been
forced aside, aid it appeared as tboueh some
person had bees concealed in the synagogue end
bad made his way from then into the prosecutor's pre.
lOW/. and afterwards committed the robbery. After some
inquiries the constable was led to suspect the prisoner, and
upon searching her lodging he limed a quantity of dupli-
cates, one of which referred to • gold watch, and the
others to various articles of wearing spparel. It turned
out that the prisoner bad pledged the gold watch at a
pawnbroker's in the Mile Rod-road for 41. 10e., sad the
wearing apparel at other places for various sante, and the
prisoner did not appear to deny that she had pledged the
various articles.
The Lord Mayor inquired whet evidence there was to
show that the prisoner had bean concealed upon the pre.
raises on the sight of the robbery'
The constable replied that there was • whams present
who would give his lordship some information upon the
subjeet.
An aged Jew named Soloman Schwartz was then sworn.
He stated that his lodged iD the prosecutor's house, end o
the morning after the robbery was committed, about 6 o'clock,
he had missies to go down into the cellar of the house,
and he there saw somebody apparently huddled up in the
corner to arsenal herself. Ho was in • great fright at the
time, but still he wee quite sure that the prisoner was the
person he saw in the cellar.
The Lord Meyer asked him how he knew that she was the
person he saw.
The Witness replied—"

In answer to a question pot by the Lord Mayor, the
oosetable said that at first he did not consider it possible
for • women to have made her way from the synagogue to
the prosecutor's premises, but upon examining the place,
and bearing in mind the very diminutive size of the pri-
soner, he considered it quite probable that she mold have

The prisoner, whim called upon for her Memo, told a
loos notifies story in German, the effect of which appeared
to be that sbe had been called into the prosecutor's bed-
room in the deed of the night, end that wee all she brew
about O. She admitted Monis palmed the various articles,
but said that some other woman bad given them to her.
The Lord Mayer said it was a queer story 'Horatio, and
he sentenced the wooer to Os wesbe' hard taboo.
