THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 2, 1851.

181. Is "N. He raid, Ton me I have plenty of money."
I told him I would rot leave the goods unless he paid
me for them. He said, "I will not par you unless you
promise to bring down some more this evening." I promised
to meat bins, sceorciingly, at 8 o'clock. He then cams
°staid' the pub'ic house with me, leaving the beg and con-
tents in the parlour, and gave me 11. and 3s. In silver, and
said he would give me the other two in the evening. I
asked hint why be geoid cot give me the 2s. at once. as he
could change a sovereign if he bad no more silver. He
mid it *maid look sir picnics to change a sovereign at the
bar, but offered me a pawnbroker's nuplicat• to hold as a
security for the payment of the money. He then gave me
the duplicate of the cloak and hood. I promised to meet
him again in the everiug but tiid not do so. I went into a
public house in Leman-street, Gdodman's•fields, and tried
to change cue of the shillings; the barmen thought It looked
rather dull, and tried it in the counterfeit coin &Wear and
retuned me the shitliog as a bad one. I name out and
walked op Whitechapel, and tried the other 2s. tbst Hart
had given me, they were both so bad th.t I easily broke them
in two pd cis Ls nay mouth. I threw ttam all away, and
finding them bad I s. int into a pie shop near the City
Foundling Hospice), and tried to change the sovereign I had
received from Hart, but the young worn.n in the shop said
it was a very doubtful colts, and refuted to take it. I then
went to Hyde Park Gardens, wh:re I met • friend.
'bowed him the sovereign, and he advised me to try to pats
ir, and then I should soon find out whether it
was g iod or not. I went into a butter shop for
that purpose, and the shopkeeper having tested the cove.
reign, said it was a genuine piece of gold, but that it had
been well sweated. He gave me change, and deducted 8.1.
to allow for the light weight. At the time that I come out
of the public house with Hart, Levy and the other man
' were standing at the door, but they went away
directly we came out ; and Hart, after paying me
returned in'o the public house to look atter the goods he had
left in the parlour lying on the bagatelle board. The piece
of canvas produced and marked " W, W," and with the
name of " Griffin " upon it, is a part of the bag that I cot off
in the tobacconist's shop in St. Martin's-le Grand, because
Hert told me to put them in a bag, but to be very careful
that there was no mark upon it. I did not know what gusn
city of goods there w.a in the bag when !mid them to Ilan.
There is a long narrow p.assge leading through the public-
house iota some back preMlllll. When I heard the whistle I
heard Hart running along this passage directly he left the
room, and had communicated with Levy, who was keeping
watch. During the whole of the time the bag with the goods
was not removed from the parlour, and when I was about to
' leave, Hart said, " C +me outside, and I'll pay you for these
ti logs." I have no more to say, except that I did not
remain In the bons., that Webb watched me into more than
a minute. I only rayed to drink a glass of ale.
Crose-examinett by the prisoner Levy—l have seen Levy
on two *cessions, and both times in company with Hart.
During the whole of this statement Hart was eon•tantly
interrupting the wham by asserting his incurrence in ever
manner he could devise, and wondering how each a youth
could so swear away his (Hart's) live.
Levy said be had been in the employ of Mr. Lawrence
Levy for the last eight years, and he was in a position to
prove that he was not in company with Hart at all on

- -
4Hart said he knew no more of the primmer Newland, who
had just glean evidence against him or the charge, than the
child unborn, and he thought it very hard that a lad should
have the power and be allowed to swear away the life of an
innocent and an honest man.
Alderman Finnic—l consider the evidence of such a
weighty character, that I am induced to remand this case for
• few days for further inquiry ; but I will allow Levy the
whole of the afternoon to produce some person who may be
capable of proving that he was not with Hart on Monday
lest. If what he has aimed with respect to the mistakt n
identity of himself can be substantiated by any member of
his empliyees establishment, there will be no occasion to
detain him in mustily on the present charge.
No one appearing to establiat the alibi Levy sot up, all
three prisoners were aceadiagly remanded.

SERIOUS CHAROI AGAINST a DINTDIT.IIr. Samuel
Reads'', dentist, &c, of No. 14, Brunswick-square, was

Mr. Jarman, from the office of Mr. Humphries, the soli-

emirs. She went up stairs to her mistress's bedroom to
make the bed, and whilst d ing so the prisoner entered the
apartment and locked and :wilted the door, on which be
came up to her. Proaccutriz here desetibed the prisoner's
proceedings, which amounted to a perpetration of a capital
crime, and went on to say that afterwatds she felt faint and
cold, end nearly lost her senses. She cried when the pet.
eons, came towards her uni:ing She turned her back upon
him, on which he kia.ll her. When be was going out of

very weak, and on going down stairs she met
the prisoner near the dining room, when he Will
ki ad her, and she went to the kitchen. Her
mistress shortly afterwards returned home, but she said
nothing to her of what bad taken place, as she (witness)
intended to leave on the Saturday night and to inform Mrs.
Henson, her only friend in London, with whom she now
lodged. She did not communicate ti a affair to the prisoner's
niece, who was 27 years of age. Wittenu remained in the

left, and informed Mrs. Henson of what had taken place.
Mr. William Denny Robertson, resident house-surgeon of
the lt,yal Free Hospital, gave evidence as to the slits of the
prow cutric—it was evident that the act had been com-
mitted.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he had made up his mind to send the case
before a jury, but would take considerable bail for the pri-
soner'. appearance at this vivre on a future day.
Mr. Jarman—You will not commit him on the capital
charge. 1 suppose ?
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Decidedly so ? What else. The surgeon's
evidecce and other circurintances warraut that tour s. 1
will take reepsnsible bail for his appearance two sureties
in 2001 each, and himself in doable that amount, if the
girl had made her complaint sooner, 1 would not accept bail
at all, bit send him at once for trial.
The investigation lasted until a late hour, acd bail not
being forthcoming, the prisoner was locked up in default
thereof. He was much depressed, and his friends add niece
left the court in great excitement.

FEES OF IIEDICAI.0F710EA3U11)11It THE NUISANCES
REMOVAL Act.—Dr. Hector Gavin, one of the m dtcal
officers of the Board of Health, called upon the guardians of
the poor of St. Matthew, Bethnal Green, to show case why
they bad refused to pay him certain costs and expenses which
he Sad reasonably Incurred in carrjing out the provisiune of
the Nuisances Removal Act.
Dr. Gavin stated that in the month of August, 1849, in
couseqdence of directions he had received from Mr. Button,
he proceeded to inspect certain premises in the occupation of
Mr. 0 ,uld, a dust contractor, in which it was alleged that •
dangerous nuisance existed, and that he afterwards presented
a report accompanied by the usual medical certificate, rela-
tive to the conoition of the place. He subsequently attended
several times at this court, and gave evidence in the matter ;
but the defendant having ultimately undertaken to abet. the
nuisance, and thereby avoid a conviction, no order wax made
by the magistrate; and pursuant to other instructions from
the clerk to the board of guardians he again visited the
premises on Several Secsims, to NO that the terms of the
arrangement were carried into effect. The entire amount of
his claim was 18 guineas, fa which he had made repeated
application to the guardians, but as they net only &cites d to
liquidate it, but positively refused to allow him any utopia-
-16%1011 whatever for his services, he was reluctantly compelled
to alopt the present proceedings against them.
In answer to the summons, it was contended that Dr.
Gavin at the time rs leered to filled the situation of •
medical inspector of nuisances for the district, and that the
services in question formed • portion of his official duties in
that capacity.
Dr. Gavin explained that his duties under the Board of
Health were at that time solely enticed to a house visitation,
which was entirely unconnected with the removal of
nuisances, and that his appointment as a medical icspector
did not take place until • subsequent period.
Mr. Arnold said that he was at • loss to conceive any
equitable principle upon which the present claim could be
repudiated by the authorities of the pariah, after the essential
, services which had been rendered by Dr. Galin in the pro-
, secution of the case ; end he considered their reseal to allow
him any remuneration whatever to be eminently ucjust.
He regretted very much that he had no power under the
act to award compensation for his repeated visits to the
premises after the termination of the proceedings at this
court; but he was of opinion that the claim of eleven
guineas for inspecting the nuisance in the first instance, and
attending to give evidence at this court on fire different
octivions, was • lair and reasonable demand, and be should
i therefore at *Beeline an order against the based of guardians
for the payment of that amount.
