THE POLICE COURTS.
(THIS DAY.)

GULLDHALL.
THE BANK NOTE ROILBEZING AND rosonnis, AND THE

KRIGISLAND JEWSLLIBT ROBBERY.

Benjamin Samuel Redbursi, who has been several times
examined relative to • variety of charges arising out of the
great jewel robbery at Kiopland, aod the extensive robbery
and forgery of notes upon a number of colonial banks, was
brought up for trial examination before Alderman Abbas,
when the owner of the gold watch which bad hitherto re-
mained unidentified was brought forward and his evidence
taken.
Mr. Mullen, the solicitor for the prosecution, said he
had no further evidence to offer.
Mr. Lewis then addressed the ooart for the prisooer, and
very ingeniously argued that the offence under the
statute of unlawful possession of the portions of bank
notes produced could not be supported—inasmuch
as there was no evidence to trace the personal
possession of them to the prisoner, or that the place in
which they were found concealed wadi exclusively occupied
by him. On the contrary, it was shown that others had
access to the prisoner's room in his absence, and there was
nothing to prove that at any time he was observed
in any secret occupation. It was therefore meal..
fest that the evidence was as strong against those
who bad access to his room as it was against the prisoner
himself. He was sure the worthy alderman, if he were on
the jury, would not convict the prisoner on such evidence,
and be therefore thought he would not cornisit the prisoner
on that charge. With regard to the charge of stealing the notes,
it was quite clear that if the unlawful possession could not
be proven, the charge of stealing must fall to the ground. In
reference to the jewellery, all be had to say WAS that the
property had found its way into the prisoner's possession
after • lapse of time, such as would be a satisfactory answer
to the charges if sent to the Ohl Bailey.
Alderman Abbiss said Mr. lewis's observations would
bare carried more weight with him if it had not been for
the extraordinary conversation overheard by Inspector
Foulger. Under the circumstances he hail made up his
mind to commit the prisoner for trial on all the charges.
Committed accordingly.
