Mr. Du Catm, IL P., in speaking on the prospects of the con-
servative party in the coming parliament, said he was inclined
very much to agree with a few expeogioos of Mr. Disraeli

CMr. Henry Newcombe. an American gentleman, of
learke's coffewhouse, Borough, of 51. and a 1,000 dollar
United Stalin note.
William Reimers, 695 A, said that on the 26th of August
he received information from Mr. Newoombe that he had
been defrauded by two skittleshwpers of the sum men-
tioned above. A description of them wee circulated, but
Mr. Newoombe was so excited at the time
that it wa very imperfect. When he was cam,
however, be gave a better demription, and ac lting
on that description, witness went that morning to the Mitre
and Dove Tavern, King-street, Westminster, and saw the
two prisoners drinking in front of the bar. He pushed
open the door and said, "Gentlemen, mind your pockets,"
without looking at anybody or mentioning a name. Stein-
bruckel immediately came out of the house and asked him
his reason for such a speech, and after • little conversation
witness took him, and his companion was apprehended
directly afterwards.
In answer to the magistrate, witness said Mr. Newcombe
was in Berlin, but he would immediately telegraph and
write to him. He felt sure be had the right men. He did
not know Steinbruekel, but knew Burdett well. He was •
notorious skittlesharper, and a oompsoion of Rusghorn,
the celebrated skittleshuper who bad just come home from
four years' penal servitude for fraud.
Burdett said he knew nothing about it, and Steinbruckel
solemnly protested his innocence. He declared that he
was in the German Hospital at the time of the robbery,
and was • wine merchant.
On Burdett were found 31. 19s. 90., 13 postage stamps, •
knife, gold lever stop watch and Albert chain, and eye-
giant ; and on Steinbrookel, 11. 14s. 9ed., • gilt medallion,
gold watch and Albert chain, latch-key, and knife; but
neither of their names could be found in the Directory, nor
the last address of Steinbruckel.
Steinbruckel again asserted his innocence, and thought it
hard to be locked up because • countryman of his (the
constable) chose to say he had been guilty of fraud, and
lock him up.
The constable mid he was willing to take the °ones-
guineas were he wrong. There was no tracing the note, as
it might lay by for months without being seen again if it
had been sold in front of the Exchange.

THAMES.
Joerph Broom, • lad aged 18, whose connections are
stated to be highly respectable, wee brought before Mr.
Paget, charged with 'tulips twelve irou rods and other
property belonging to Mr. Henry Boyle, his router.
Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, defended the prisoner.
The prosecutor is an engineer and machine maeufacturer,
carrying on business in the Mile-end-road. The prisoner
is his apprentice, and 201. was paid u s premium. For
some time peat Mr. Boyle bad been miring property from
his factory, and his losses becoming very great he applied
to Inspectoe Griffin, of the K disistoo, sad the services of
a plain-clothes detective were sniped to him for
the purpose of discovering the thief. On Friday night
Carter, • polioeconstahle, No. 78 K, was concealed in
the prosecutor's factory, sad maw the prisoner met the
yard and leave the shop. He immediately stopped him.
and said to him, "There is something in your Nonposs
which does not belong to you." The prisoner
there is not." Carter proceeded to search the lad and
found two iron rods upon him. The prisoner handed him a
third. At the station-house the prisoner was again searched,
ands carrot, the top of which Mr. Boyle bad marked with
the initials A. C., was found upon him. The constable
then weal to the prisoner's dwelling, and found nine iron
rods, a motel pattern, rime wood, and other materials,
wider a rabbit-batch. The whole of the property was
identified by Mr. Boyle, who said his losses had been very
great, and that valuable tools had been continually dime-
peering from his workshop daily for some time past. He
was compelled to prosecute, es an example to the men and
aprentices in his service. He marked the carrots in his
store-rpoom because he hail missed a large number.
The prisoner pleaded guilty.
Mr. Charles Young made an eloquent and feeling address
in his favour. The lad wee the eon of respectable parents,
and his father was • muter man. A premium of 201. had
been paid with him to Mr. Boyle. That would be lost.
The lad was in the fourth year of his apprenticeship, and
his indentures would be cancelled. The only hops of
saving the youth would be • 000viction for unlawful pos.
seasion and a mild priaishment. If that was dose the boy
might he restored to society, sod to the bemuse he bad
adopted. The prisoner had taken the iron and other things
produced to ,sake rabbit hatches, and the carrot for his
rabbits to eat. The youth was truly sorry for his crime.
He had numerous witnesses wbo would give the lad the
best of characters. Mr. Charles Young then called his wit-
best
Mr. Paget eakl he always felt scruples of convicting per-
sons of unlawful possession who were guilty of imam
He did not think the law enabled him to do it. He could
not overlook the fact that these robberies had been going
on for some tune, and that Mr. Boyle's lames bad been
very wirier He felt bound to inflict a severe pusishinent,
which was that the prisoner be imprisoned and kept to
bard labour for four calendar months.
GREENWICH.
Emma Ford. a domestic servant, was placed in the dock,
before Mr. Trail], charged with attempting to commit
suicide by swallowing a quantity of white precipitate
powder.
It appeared that the prisoner was a servant at Black-
heath, sod that for the last three or four years a moldier
belonging to the Scots Fusilier Claude bad been paying
his addresses to her. It had bees arranged that they
were to be married, bat being diseppoieted in this re-
spect the prisoner was heard to threaten that she
would destroy herself. No attention was paid to theme
threats, but on the servants being summoned to attend
family morning prayer the prisoner sought an excuse for her
absence by saying she was unwell. She subsequently con-
ofs that she had swallowed the contents of two packeta
g white precipitate powder, which she had obtained at a
neihbouring chemist's. A medical gentleman was swot for,
and the usual remedies having bees resorted to with sucesaa,
she wee given into the custody of the polies.
In answer to the magistrate,
The prisoner said she was now sorry fee having made
the attempt upon her life, and promised not to repeat the
offence.
Mr. Trani ordered the prisoner to find for her good
behaviour for the next three moiths.
