MAN.cIIoN 111)WiE.
Henry Matthews, a well•dreesed young man, wu brought
before the Lad Mayor in the cuy of Hancock, a
detective officer, by whom he bad been appreheedal at
Sheffield, obargo;l with stealing some A, amble shawls, Wks,
and other property Waging to his employers, Messrs.
Harper. bays, Evans, and Co., warehousemen, of 04

Mr. Liodus, 'elicitor, of Cheapaide, conducted the prose-

album
It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner went
into the service of the prosecutors in July last, but left
their employment in the beginning of September by mutual
consent, and at the time no suspicion was entertained of
his honesty. From an examination of the boots very
shortly afterwards, however, it was disooverid t
that
the prisoner had been robbing his employer., d
that be had misappropriated valuable property to •
vary considerable extent. It appeared that the
prisoner had exercised the privilege granted by the
prosecutors to the persons iii their employ of par-
clueing any articles they might require at cost pries, sod,
in this way, the prisoner bad professed to purchase shawls,
pieces of silk, and other articles. The firm would not allow
any credit upon these trassactions, sod in the ordinary
MUM of business the articles that were so purcheied
should have been taken by neeo of the other clerks, from the
department to which they blonged, to the .maltier, who
would enter them in the books, and the prisoner ought then
to have paid for them, bat instead of this it appeared that
the prison er, contrary to the regulations of the establish-
ment, took the parcels himself, stating that be was going
to the cashier, but instead of doing so, he walked off with
the property, and owing to the mode in which the robbery
was effected, some time elapsed before it was discovered.
Hancock, the officer, proved that io consequence of le-
formation lie had received be went to Sheffield in pursuitan of
the prisoner, and met him walking near the Town-hall, d
took him into custody. He informed him that he was
charged with robbing his employers, Messrs. Harper, Kaye,
sod Co., of Old Change. and he said it was all right, sod he
hid been expecting it all day. He thee risked the prisoner
why be had omitted to make the entries of the goods in the
books, and be replied that it was for the purpose of enabling
him to wrong his employer.. He asked the prisoner where
he was living, end he said that it would not be of any
added
use to
go to his lodgings, as there was nothing there, sod he
that be had pawned every article the moment he obtained
possession of ir. The prisoner added that be was
and t in diffi-
culties when he entered the prosecutors' service, hat
his creditors premed him, and he committed the robberies
to satisfy their demands, and be also said that he was
anxious to make every reparation in his power, and he told
him where all the stolen property weir pledged.
Several pawnbrokers were then examioeil, who proved
that the prisoner bad pawned the silk, shawl', &c., which
they produced, at their respective shops.
The prisoner, in reply to the Lord Mayor, said he had
no answer to make to the charge.
The depositions were taken preparatory to the prisoner's
committal for trial.
MARY LEBONE.
William Jeffrey, between ten and eleven years of ego,
was charged with robbing his mother of the sum of re. Id.
The mother, Carobs* Jaffrey, ststal she Lad been a
widow for several years, aod got her living by chafing or
anytbing-she could get to do. Oo Thursday evening when she
retuned home, being very tired, she laid down on the bed
and fell saleep. When she awoke ohs missed Cs. Id. from
her pocket. When her son (the pr loaner) retuned home she
spoke to him of her low., and, after some hesitation, he
said be had taken it. As he was continually rubbing her
and takrng property from the room she called in a police-

character, and weo it appeared was on the point of noir.
riage, was finally examined before the lion. G. C. Norton
on • charge of stealing a torantity of wet linen, of the value
of fit., the property of Mr. Henry W. Shelkirk.
Sarah Eliza Bartholomew, servant to the prosecutor,
said that about eight o'clock on the night of Monday week
she missed several articles from the garden that bad been
hung out to dry, and at that time she observed one of
the articles, a sheet, in its proper place, but to a few
minutes after it was gone. The witness gave infor-
mation of her loss to thew lice, and the prisoner was taken
into custody.
Mr. Alfred Goulding said he resided next door to the
prosecutor, and that the prisoner wee received into his house
preparatory to her being engaged as A regular servant, but
the person to whom she had given • reference fur her
character refused to give her one. On Monday week the
prisoner had been in his house, but left to go LOMB between
seven and eight o'clock.
The constable in the case said the priacip.il evidence
against the prisoner was Ler footmarks in the garden of the
prosecutor, as well es iu that of her master, and about
which there could be no mistake. Her mistress found fault
with her for the noise occasioned by the high heels of her
boots, upon which she lopped them off with • chopper, and
the marks thus left across distinct that there was no
mistaking them.
The prisoner was fully committed for trial.

vious evening he was returning home, and just u he had
passed the York Hotel, the prisoner ran agaiest him. He
pushed him off, when he butted against him and *sized bold
of him. While they were struggling together the prisoner
commenced rifling his pockets, but • gentleman cams up and
he relinquished his bold and ran off.
Mr. Woolrych asked him if he was robbed of anything'
The prosecutor replied that he could not tell, as he was
not outran what amount of mosey be had in his pocket.
He, however, missed four or five shillings, and his watch
was pulled out of his pocket.
William Hooper Short, • commercial traveller, laid be
had just left • friend's house in the York-road, when his
attention was attracted to the prisoner and the prosecutor
struggling together. He turned round, and perceiving that
the prisoner was rifling the other's pocket' he went to his
assistance. sod the prisoner ran off. Witness, however,
pursued hint, and captured him at lag under the railway
arch in Vine-street, and banded him over to a constable.
The prosecutor was recalled, and in answer to the magis-
trate said that he bad been drinking with • friend in the
York Hotel, and was a little the worse for liquor, but he
was not into:tented.
Christopher Church, police-constable 96 1., said he war
on duty in the Waterlooroad about one that morning,

arches, pursued try the witness Short. A little whileafter-
wards be took him into custody.

The prisoner said he never assaulted the prosecutor nor
attempted to rob him. There was not the least foundation
for the charge.
Mr. Woolrych told him that the evidence wee much
against him, and as some inquiries must be made about him
he should remand him until Tuesday next.

HAMMERSMITH.
Mr. Llnyd Jane& of 21, St. Peter's-vinare, Humor-
smith, was aummoced by a cabman named Miller for 24. 64.,
the fare for the hire of big vehicle from the Castle standing
at Nottiog-hill to the defendaut's nsideoce.
The complainant said the distance was over two miles,
and scoordiog to Mr. Thiyman's opinion of the Cab Aet be
was entitled to charge 35., as the jouroey wu completed
outside the radius.
The chief usher then explained to Mr. Ingham that Mr.
, Dayman was of opinion that a cabman could oot end his
' fare at the radios point at the rate of sixpence per mile and
then commence beyond at the rate of Is. a mile, for if he
could he might be entitled in some cues to Is. dd. far part
of a mile, and that would be contrary to the intention of
the act of parliament. He always decided that a cabman
wee only entitled to charge Is. for the mile ending outside
the radios. and the rate of Is. a mils beyond bob:lgoe* eon-
times* fan.

TILE CATTLE PLO:CIL—CONVICTION OF A RAIL-
WAY CoMPANY.—At the county sessions in Newark, on
Wednesday, before Mr. E. P. Burnell, the Hon. J. E.
Deniaiiii M.P. (Speaker ,
of the lute Housed Commons). aud
Mr. l'.llmdley,the Midland Railway Company were charged
with having on the lath lost. nolawf oily brought one cow
from the city of Lincoln to Newark railway station, in
the parish of Kelham. contrary to • notice issued
on the 29th of November last. Mr. Cowley, of
Nottinghew, repreeensed the company, and rained
various points of law on behalf of the defendant;
contending that the act of parliament did not apply
to them as a corporation acting as public car-
tiers. The facts were clearly proved by the servants of
the company. Mr. Cowley requested the court to
suspend judgment for a fortnight, that he might
ho ebbs to take counsel's opinion on the queetions
reified by those proceediugs, this being, he believed,
the nest case of the hied against a railway company.
The court were of opinion that the company were
highly culpable in not having given iostractions to
their servants not to deliver cattle at Newark station after
the prohibitory order was issued by this bench, and ordered
the psymeut of • fine of 101. and :Cis. costs. Mr. Cowley
risked their worship,. to grant a case for the Court of Queen's
Bench, but the application was refused. The same day
Edward Greenberry, of Newark, was fined 10/. for rending
the cow above referred to from Lincoln to Newark, and was
alito tined 51. for receiviog another cow on the following day
from North Searle, in the county of Lincoln.
CliAlLoE oF PERJURY AGAINsT A TOWN OWN-
CILLoIt.—Lbs Wednesday, before the borough magistrates,
at Loaceater, Mr. C. Townsend, photographer and house
agent., High-street, a member of the town council of the
borough, was placed in the dock to answer a charge of having
committed perjury before the court, on the 13th of Nos
ember last. The charge arises in a very singular matinee,
Mr. Townsend was a candidate at the last election for the
won ward of Dour:aster, and was returned at the head of
the poll. Before his election, however, Mr. Townsend was
subjected to very great annoyance from the publication and
distribution of scurrilous placards reflecting upon his
private character, and one more audacious than the rent
impeached his " honesty, integrity, and morality." Mr.
Thomas Daw, painter, admitted that he was the author of
the bill iu question, and in a second bill atfirmsd that what
he stated was true; end on this public declaration being
made Mr. Townsend took out a summons against him se the
publisher of a slanderous and malicious libel. Mr. TOWDI•
end, before the justices, gave an emphatic denial to the
statements in the alleged libel ; be denied that he had, as
was represented, ever knowingly let houses as brothels
during the Doncaster Septsruber meeting, or that be
had represented to a person who took the house of a Mrs.
Booth that Mrs. Booth knew for what purpose her house
was required, and that 14/., which she had agreed at
first to take, most be raised to 201., or the agreement
would not be adhered to. Mr. Dew• in his defence, called
evidence to show that Mr. Townsend did knowingly let
Mrs. Booth's house as • brothel during the rime week, and
that, by rspreseotiog to Mrs. White, to whom he let it, that
Mrs. Booth, knowing for what purpose she wanted it, would
not let her have it under 201. for the week, that sum was paid
to him, of which he paid 3lra. Booth only the first sum ati-
palatal for, namely, 141. The magistrates, upon this evi-
dence, dismissed the summons, with costa sgaii.st Mr.
Townsend ; and the present proceedings moth out of the
evidence which was then given. Mr. Woodhead, on the
part of Mr. Dew (who was the prosecutor) applied for a
remand for • week, on the ground that his witnesses bed
to oome from • considerable &stenos. It 11144 arranged by
both sides that the bearing should stand sdjoureed to
Wednesday next, and the bench accepted Mr. Town end's
bail of 100/., and one surety to a like amount for his ap-
pearance at that time.—Leeds Memory.
