THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION HOUSE.
Two ill4ooking fellows. who gave the manses of Jain,
Johnstone and Janes Motley. were charged helms the Lord
Mayor with malicionaly breaking the plate glass window of
Mr. John Walker, the eminent chronometer maker, of
No. 66, Corneal. and also with feloniously stealing from
inside*, windows two gold watches of the vales of 70/.
From the evidence of Mr. William George Cooper, an
auctions and estate agent residing at Giussereb/
Harder's.road, Peckham, and having offices at 32, Coleman-
street, City, it appears that about half -pest four o'clock in
the afternoon of Saturday be was walking in company
with a friend named Griffiths along CorahM, when he saw
the two prisons» standing with their backs towards and
their elbows ekes to the prosecutor's shop window, and he
observed that at the same indent and simultaneously they
struck their elbows against the plate glass, the affect of
which was to smash the window. They turned round
deliberately. and each snatched a watch from inside the
window, which they severally deposited in their own
pockets: The whams (Mr. Cooper) with his friend Mr.
Griffiths rushed across the street and secured the orieoners.
Johnstone having bees taken by Mr. Cooper, and Kelley by
Mr. Griffiths. They were dragged into the promicattoes
shop, when they were searched and the watches found upon
them. The polies were sent for, and they were both given
into custody.
Mr. George Griffiths, of Uniomrow, Queen's-road. Peck.
barn, was called, and fully oorroborated Mr. Cooper's
testimony.
The evidenes William lies-conatables, Daniel Whale,
City, 650, and of Russell, City, 641, went to esta-
blish that the prisoners had no property or money upon
them, sad that Johnstone admitted he had taken one watch,
while Kelley made a similar admission, declaring that they
might has him, as he was in a state of starvation, and was
without a home.
Mr. John Thomas Walker, son of the proneentor, was
also rolled, and proved that he had placed both the watches
in the window on Saturday morning, that they wore hie
father's property, and of the value of 701. The extent of
damage to the plate glass window exceeded 5/.
The prisoners, who offered no defence, WOTO fully com-
mitted for trial, both on the charge of wilful damage, and
also on the charge of felony.
The prosecutor (Mr. Walker), who, it will be remembered,
was the victim of the extensive jewellery robbery which
attracted so math public attention some time since, address-
ing the Lord Mayor, said he desired to express his beet
thanks to the two gentlemen by whose prompt activity the
priamers had been taken into custody.
The Lord Mayor concurred in this tribute, and at the
same Sins expressed his sympathy with Mr. Walker for
the Manner in which these onslaughts were mods upon his
pemuty.
- prisoners were then removed.
Just as the Lord Mayor was about to leave the bench,
Mr. Jones, who is the secretary to the East London Cow'
keepers' Association, applied to his lordship on behalf of
James Johostooe, a cowkesper, formerly carrying Mt a
hustles bushier at No. 7. King-street, St. Georges-in-
thmEast, who had been reduced to ruin by the death from
cattle disease of no less than 20 cows, entailing upon him
a less of 1901. unlueive of 1501. for the destruction of the
value of the goodwill of his business. The man was a
cripple, and a wife and four children to maintain. The
application was for assistance either from she fluid which
he/ bees, he believed, raised for distribution at the Mugu.
house, or, failing that, for some assistance from the poor

The Lord Mayor expressed his sympathy, but he rep.—
that the fund attempted to be raised had failed. sod the
mosey which had been subscribed bad been returned to the
contributors. He regretted that he had no funds tensest
the care.
BOW.STREET.
Thomas Hayes (ax Dishtowel, describing himself as •
wheelwright, and residing in Corem.street, Brunswick.
square, was brought up lx custody of Inspector Williamson,
at the Folios-court, Bow-street, on • warrant issued by. •
magistrate for the county of Cotk, in Ireland, charging
him with " treason and felony," in coespirine with others
to levy war spinet her Majesty the Queen, and to deprive
her of that part of her dominions called Ireland.
Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk, observed that the warrant
substantially charged the prisoner with being a " Head
Oeatre " of the reefs's orisatioe.
Inspector Williamson deposed that he apprehended the
prisoner that day on the warrant in queasier. It was an
Irish warrant issued in Cork, and backed with the usual
formalities. Witness teed the warrant over to him. A
sergeant from the Irish constabulary was now in attendee.e
and ready to remove the prisoner to Cork, where the sanest '
was Slued.
Mr. Flowers (to the prissier) -Do you wish to say any-
thing why you should sot be remitted to Ireland
The Prisoner—Nothing beyond this, that I baronet been
out of London for eighteen year,.
Mr. Flowers—Then you will be handed over to the Irish
constable here to be taken to Cork, where you will he

The pritoner was thee removed.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Darid Nicholls Coulson, or the Leedom and Provincial
Advertiaiag Agency-offies, Na 41, Great Peltenerstatet,
sad John Ridgway, advection( spat, No. 117, hewgate-
street, was summoned before Mr. Tyrerbitt, charged with
conspiring together to obtais and obtaining mosey from
James Walter, Warwick-place, Warwiek.quare.
After hearing the evidences adduced.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said be had from the first been sexioue to
see what claim the peewee who wanted situations had to
the remedy they *ought, u it was notorious there were
shabby offices established solely for the porpoee of getting
mosey, and whose owners never intended to do asything for
the parties who applied to them. He had watched as if lee
were • juryman to see if there was any juggle on the part
of Coulson to get money from this poor elms of appli.
cants; and whether there was a juggle or not it was his duty
to deal with the evidence brought before him. It had not
bees proved that Ridgway at any time saw Coulees; they
were ally proved to have dealt together as agents of the
same kidney. One mat to the other ; and there might
be • othspiracy bstweea them to this effect: " You get
from applicants, sod I will ask 101. premium to stop
their months." But certainly there was no evi.
&ace, such as might have bees expected, of a
coespiracy in its legal sense. With regard to the false
there most be an existing fact proved, and this
telTotae been dose. He saw in the eas only this, that
I Coulson opened an advertising office, and took sa. from
people who wanted siteatereem, and who wen told to write

11 weld not ray this wax obtaining money under false pm.
since., nod he could not say that it constituted • coespiracy
to obtain money by fraud. There might be something
loader the evidence that bad not coma out, but on the eei.
deuce before him he thought it would beat no use to re.
mead the prisoners. if additional evidence of a more eon.
Isbasive chancier could afterwards be obtained, than the
prisoners might be brought before him again. As there was
sot enough to send them for tried. he should order them to
be distharged.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—IrivERroot, Die. 18.
(Before Mr. Bans Martin and a Spada Jury.)
HAMPSON, ADMINIBTRATRIX, V. TEI SOLID EASTERN RAILWAY
COMPANY.—THE STAPLEHERBT RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
EXTRAORDDIARY DAMAGES.
This claim arose oat of the late railway oxidatat Staple.
bunt, us the defendantslice of railway. The plaintiff was
the widow of Adam Hempson, formerly surgeon, veterinary
surgeon, owner of a shoring forge, and part owner of •
Cotton mill at Bolton, in this county ; and the action was
brought on behalf of herself and two children.
The debit:ideate admitted the negligee°, ot t
into
heir
servanta by the payment of one ghillies
court, but left the qutstion of damages l
income of
to be de-
cided by the jury. It appeared that the tota
the donned was about 3,0001. a year. but that hie
family were only now in reireipt of about 2001. a ytimeear.
of his Mr.
'Jameson wee only forty years of age at the
death, and his future prospects at that time were very
bright. It wad also shown that some property which
would have fallen to his children in the event of his sur-
viving the present owners would now revert to other
handy. His lordship thought that if railway coillp•nies
were to be held liable for such coutingeociee as these, they
had better shut up business at once. Mr.
Q.C.
(with whom were Mr. Millward. Q.
and Temple.Ms on
the other hand, thought that if persons were to be deprived
of their lemons of income by such gross negligence as had
been exhibited in this ease, they had better retire from
business et once.
Mr. Brett then addressed the jury on behalf of the do-
feudants in mitigation of damages. cot:deriding that the jury
should not regard the income of the plaintiff's husband bg
a certainty. but open to the usual lactate ta of trade.
His Lordship then gummed up. recommending the jury to
view the amount of damages in a broad and equitable seen ;
not regarding it as essential to award the earn* yearly in-
come that the huslisod had been in receipt of, but sufficient
to enable her and her family to bee decently and respect-
ably in proportion to the position they have been sags-
tomed to occupy.
The fury, after a brief coesoltation. reinreed a verdict for
7.003!.-4,000/. for the widor, and 1,5004 for each of the
children.
