IMPORTANT TO PASSENGERS BY FOREIGN
STEAMERS.—Notice has just been given by order of her
Majesty's Commissioners of Customs that passengers arriv-
ing by steam vessels, with only one package, if no articles
liable to duty are contained therein, may have the same
examined on board between Gravesend and London, and
passengers desiring such accomodation are to have their
baggage placed in a separate part of the vessel on their
going on board or before their arrival at Gravesend,in order
that it may be ready for examination in turn as their names
stand on the passengers' list. A hat box or a dressing-case
is not to be considered a package, but one or both aro to
be allowed in addition ; and if there is sufficiwit time be-
tween Gravesend and London the whole of the baggage of
passengers, not having articles liable to duty, will hence-
forth be examined on board. The new regulations will be
greatly instrumental in expediting the progress of passen-
gers at landing.

length of time that had eight,' since the last session .it

according to the usual average should have bora over PO.
The diminution that had taken place was ant ►ttr.butable

when great number, of the persons by whom such offences
were ujnrr►lly eounaitted, were out at luarest-work,

A'ethereutt, ; were indicted, the two first named for
stealing 'we codfish and three haddock,, the property co the
Great Northern Railway Compeny, their masters, and the
other f.r felontote.ly receiving such property, well know-
ing it to have been stolen.
Edward Hicks, P.C. 40 0, stated that at about half-put
5 o'clock on the morning of the 23rd of August, he was on
duty in Gray's Inn-lane, when he saw a van belonging to
the Great Northern Railway turn out of Holburn into that
lane, on t Way to King's-cross. Minces was driving,
and Ilewett was sitting at the other end of the vehicle.
As it was going alt sag, a doukey and cart, driven by
the prisoner Nethereott, a street dealer in fish, passed it,
and Oleo turned round ann followed it up behind, where-
upon the van stopped, and Ilewitt handed to Nethercott •
sack, out of which be took some fish. He placed the fish in
• hamper which he had with him in the cart or barrow,
and returned the sack to Hewitt. The van then went on,
followed by the cart, when witness stopped them, and told
the prisoners ho should take them into custody, which,
with the assistance of another officer, he di e. The prisoner
Nethereott said he did nut mean to do it. When Nether-
cott's hamper was examined, two codfish were found in it.
A clerk in the goods department of the Great Northers
Railway proved that on the morning in question the pri-
soners Clapson and Hewitt were sent with a van load of
fish. cod and haddock, to deliver at Billingsgate. The
codfish was consigned to Mr. Saunders, and the haddock to
Mr. Tapley, fish salesman, of Billingsgate market.
Junes Bardolph, clerk to Mr. Satindere, stated that on
the day is question he received seven boxes of fish from
Claws. There should have been seventy fish, the usual
Lunn, r, and the number snvoictd on that occasion, but
there were bet silty-eight. The bout, when delivered,
Were all looked. lie had akt y, and the packer at Grimsby
had another.

One of the company's servants who took charge of Clap-
son's horses after that prisoner was in custody, proved that
in the nnse hag of one of the horses he found a key.
Hr. William.' superintendent of the police on the Great
Northern, said he ttit d the key produced by the last wit-
ness, and he found that it opened the whole of the fish
boles. Neither of the prisoners had say right to such a
key.
A constable deposed that be searched Hewitt, and found

Jar. Anistant-Judge slimmed up, anti
The jury found Clapson end 'Lewitt Guilty, and Ac-
tuated Nethercott.
The Assistant-Judge said the pritoners bad been placed
in situations of trust through their good character. They
had taken advantage of that good character to plunder
their employers, and if the sentence he was about to pass
did not put a stop to these robberies by railway servants,
the sentences in such cases would be increased until they
were put a stop to. He then sentenced each of them to
hard Ulmer in the House of Correction for one year.

AZTIVL RONNERT.
✓oases Phillips, Is, end Iloury Abu koPie, 15, were in-
dicted fur stealing a watch, the property of William Ed-
moans, in he dwelling-house. There was another indict-
ment egginst the prisoners, and Phillips was indicted on a
similar charge separately.
Mr. O'Brien defended Mackenzie. . _

TM prisoners were tried on one charge only, but the
evidence in each of the three cases wee very mach the
same, and it showed that the prisonsre had been carrying
on a rather ingenious plan of plunder. It appeared that
on the 18th of last month they entered the shop of Mr.
Edmonds, an umbrella maker, 15, East-read, liortoa, sad
Mackenzie asked Miss Edmonds, who was behind tbs
coaster, for • ash-hook. While she was serving Massa a
third boy, who had with him a carpet bag, jiincd them,
sad placed the carpet bag on a stove in the shop, and took
from it a lies pigeon, with which he walked up to the back
parlour door, and asked Mrs. Edmonds if it was not a good
ass, and said something about flying it. Mackenzie
joined him, and they let the pigeon loose, and It flew up
the staircase. One of the boys and Mrs. Edmonds went up
stairs after it, while the other boy, being left alas is the
parlour, helped himself to • watch that was Imagist'
over the mantel-pie e, and which could be NM 'MI the
street. The pigeon was caught, the three left with it, sad
directly afterwards Mn. Unmade sired the watch. Oa
the 12th of August t,iy went into a gings-beer shop kept
by a widow, No. 8, Beabrigtti place, Hackney-road, and
one of them, by prete•ding that he had dropped a penny
Into the parlour, got permission to go in to get it, and he
stole • metal watch from the chimney-piece ; and on the
18th of August Phillips, with another (not in custody),
went into • shop in Union-street, Kingaland-road, and
stole • watch from the chimney-piece of the back parlour
in precisely the same manner.
The jury found them both Guilty.

The Assistant Judge said Phillips, though young, was a
great rogue, sad, under the new law on the subject of
truseportatior, he should sentence him le four yeah• penal
servitude. With regard to Mackenzie, who, so doubt, had
boa trained by Phillips, he thought the best thing that
szuld be dose for him would be to puss upon him such a
mutate• as would have the (fleet of sending him to Park-
hurst.

Mr. O'Brien submitted that the cues amounted only to
simple larceny.
The Assistant Judge said it war larceny in a dwelling-
house.

7-Mr.O'Brien said the vain. of no one of the watches was
put so high as 61.
On reference to the indictment it was found that the
wain. of one of the watches was laid at 61., of another at 61.,
and the third 10e.
. . . . _

The witnesses were then questioned as to the value of the
watches respectively, and the highest value put upon any
ow of them was 41. _

The Mast ant-Judge said the case must, after this, be
treated as one of simple larceny, urn he then sentenced
Phillips to two years' hard labour, and Mackenzie to six
swaths' bud labour.

Boon Mi. Wrrtur.

A wand mat was formed, in which Mr. Witham tried
several cases._

IYal4an Hewett. 33, previously convicted, was indicted
for, and he pleaded guilty to, having stolen a set of harness,
value 605., the property of Arthur DP:lmam.
The prisoner was sentenced to four years' penal ler-
vit ode.

James Mitchell, alias Upton, 30, was found Guilty of
stealing a bag and half • bushel of flour, value bs., the
property of Rebecca Jolly.
Sergeant Haney, 14 , said the prisoner was one of the
worst character. in London. He was one of a garg who
waylaid countrymen as they came to the metropolis with
hay, straw, &a., and, under the pretence of getting a ready
sale, got the property into their own possession, applying
the proceeds to themselves. In one case the prisoner got a
load of bay from a poor countryman, and left him at a
coffee-shop while be went to sell it. He returned, and
gave the countryman two half-crowns, wrapped up in a
piece of paper, stating that that was all he had got for it
(be had received 31. 15e.), and, not suspecting anything
wrong, he pat the paper in hie pocket and went off home.
When he found what tam the paper really contained, he
told his master how he had been served, but the master
would not believe the story, and took the man before a =-
giant • , and the result was that the unfortunate fellow un-
derwent two months' imprisonment in Hertford gaol.
Mr. Witham sentenced the prisoner to four years' penal
servitude.

Wallows Wood, 30, previously convicted, having been out
of prison but a few Jaye, was found guilty of stealing a
handkerchief, value 5e., the property of George Cutt, from
his person.
Sentenced to 4 years' penal servitude.
As the prisoner was being removed, he turned to the pro-
secutor and said, " May the curse of God light upon your
head all your days."
