MARYLEBONE.

Two boys, named John Smith and Alfred 'Wedmore, the
eldest of whom was not more than 12 years of age, were
charged with having stolen two earthenware jugs from the
front of a shop in George-street, Portman-square.
The ease was proved by the evidence of Police-constable
217 1), who stopped the prisoners with the property in
their possession.
Inspector Porter said that the prisoners had been more
than once convicted for felony.
They had nothing to say in answer to the charge, and
Mr. Long committed them for 11 days to the house of

Correction.
A respectable looking man, of very dejected appearance,
and who gave his name Robert l'arky, was placed at the
bar, charged with having attempted to commit suicide by
cutting his throat with a razor in ltegent's.park, on the
morning of the 27th ult. Ile had been in the London
University Hospital ever since the occurrence.
The pnsoner, who said that lie had no means of subsist-
ence, woo sent for trial ; he was described as being a tailor,
having no place of residence.
SOU TIIWARB.

Two young thieves, named Bryant and Jones, well known
to the police, were charged with attempting to pick pockets
near the railway terminus at London-bridge.
A police constable of the M division said ho was on duty
in private clothes near the railway terminus, about eight
o'clock on Thursday evening, while the passengers were
leaving the Brighton trains. The prisoners seemed very
busy among the crowd, and having sonic knowledge of
them, he watched their movements, and distinctly saw them
put their hands in several ladies' and gentlemen's pockets.
He instantly called another constable to his assistance and
neared them, after a desperate resistance. On searching
lbws at the police station ho found two handkerchiefs on
Dect and another on Jones.
magistrate said it was quite clear they were attempt-
ing to pick pockets, and he should commit each of them to
two months' hard labour in the House of Correction.
LAMBETH.

Mary Levu, a respectable-looking young woman, was
charged with uttering a counterfeit half sovereign to John
Moore Price, a chemist, residing in the Loughborough-
road, Brixton.
Prosecutor said, on the previous evening the prisoner
entered his shop and asked for a pennyworth of lozenges
for a cold, which she was labouring under. Ile supplied
her with some, when she handed a sovereign in payment.
Witness gave her a half-sovereign, and the remainder in
silver and copper money. After she got to the door she re-
turned suddenly, and said she did not like the look of the
half-sovereign, at the same time requesting to have it
changed. Witness took hold of it, and finding it to be a
bad one, he called in a police-constable and gave her into
custody. As soon as ho put the piece between his teeth it
bent nearly double.
In answer to the charge, the prisoner said she put it into
her mouth while going out of the door, and finding it bend
easily, she felt assured it was a bad one. She then wished
it changed.
The coin was here handed to the magistrate and to the
officers of the court, when it was ascertained to be standard
gold, although it had several flaws in it.
The magistrate said the prosecutor should have been more
careful before he gave the young woman in charge for such
a serious offence. He must discharge her, and advise him
to be more cautious for the future. The young woman was
accordingly discharged.
GREENWICH.

Thomas Cox, apprentice to a farrier at Rotherhithe, and
son of Mr. Cos, of No. 6, Surrey-place, Lower-road,
Rotherhithe, builder, was finally examined before Mr.
Trail charged with having wilfully placed a billet of wood
acmes a portion of the railway belonging to the London,
Brighton, and South Coast Railway, commonly known as
the junction lino with that of the South Eastern at
Deptford.
John Lawson, railway officer, No. 48, deposed that he
was on duty at the Junction-gate, the previous morning,
about 8 o'clock, when he observed the prisoner walking up
the line, about 300 yards off, near the aqueduct. Saw Ihim
stop and put a piece of timber across the middle of the rail
over the viaduct. The prisoner entered at the junction.
He had no business there. On observing witness the pri-
soner stepped forward at a good pace and made off over the
aide of the viaduct on the bank of the canal below. Wit-

nets informed a brother officer, who followed the prisoner,
and immediately afterwards removed the billet of wood.
Believes that the prisoner did not see witness in the first
instance. The piece of wood now produced measures 2 feet
8 in. by 31 in. in substance.
William Rippingham, servant to the contractors, de-
posed that ho was at work on the wharf. Saw the prisoner
at a quarter before eight in the morning go through the
gate on to the line. Mr. Lawson warned him of the pri-
soner's conduct, when he followed the prisoner and took I
him into custody and told him that he had seen the wood
lying across the line. Asked why he had done so wicked
an act, telling him at the same time that ho had been seen
in the act. The prisoner denied having done it. Witness
took the prisoner to the Plough Bridge Gate and handed
him over to the custody of the metropolitan police.
Mr. James Parnell, clerk to the London, Brighton, and
South Coast Railway Company, explained to the magis-
trate the great and alarming danger that might have oc-
curred had a train of carriages passed the line at that time.
Mr. Trail directed the depositions to be read over, after
which the prisoner was committed for trial, and the wit-
nesses bound over in 40J. each to attend the next Central
Criminal Court.

ESCAPE or A Coxvicr.—On Monday afternoon
one of the convicts working in an out gang on Dartmoor,
managed to elude the vigilance of the warder or guard, and
escaped. Officers were sent out in every direction to en-
deavour to apprehend him. Considering how short a time
the prison hos been used, and the large gangs of men who
work without the walla of the prison on the moor, the
number who have attempted to escape has been remarkably
small. In order to make room for the officers and others
employed at the Dartmoor prison, the persons who inha-
bited the old barracks at Prince Town have been obliged
to obtain residences elsewhere. Several houses are in course

of erection at Prince Town, and a range of cottages of a
very peculiar shape, suited to the rough climate of the
moor has been erected a short distance from the Old Ply-
mouth and Dartmoor granite works.
