1842 he dissolved partnership with a Mr. Clark, the first
being insolvent, and then commenced business on his owa
account. An entry in the books, under the head of Smith
and Co., was his own trading, and was so written in order
that the clerks should not know rush was the fact, because
under such circumstances the goods might be claimed for

broker of the City of London, hail been guilty of an infringe-
ment of the by-laws of the City by trading on his own or
count, and making false entries in his books to conceal the

person who presented the forged order or the forged cheque
could be identified. The evidence against the prisoner con-
sisted of a proof of the fact that he had been in Mr. West's
service as shopman in 1845, and wee aware where he bunked,
and was well acquainted with AU handwriting; an 4 Mr.
West expressed a positive belief that the forged instru-
ments were both in the prisoner's handwriting. In addi-
tion to this it was also shown that about the time the for-
gory was committed the prisoner was seen to have • good
deel of money in his possesaion. Witnesses were called for
the defence, who Booke as positively to their belief that the
documents which formed the subject of the inquiry wets not
in the handwriting of the prisoner as the evidence on the
other hand was positive to the contrary.—The jury returned
a verdict of Notguilly.
The prisoner was then arraigned upon another indictment,
charging him with stealing a gold watch, some diamond
studs, and other articles of jewellery, the property of Mr.
West.—llsydon, a City policeman, deposed that when he
apprehended the prisoner upon the former chug; he found
in his possession the articles mentioned in the indictment,
and he now produced them.—Mr. West said that while the
prisoner was in his service be missed the articles mentioned
in the indictment, and which had been produced by the
officer, and he identified them as his property.— In the pri-
soner's defence it woo endeavoured to be shown that the
articles had been given to him by the prosecutor's wife, who
was since dead, and with whom it was hinted the prisoner
had been on very intimate terms.—Mr. Justice William.
having briefly addressed the jury, they immediately found
the prisoner Guilty.—ln answer to a question from the
court, the prosecutor said that during the year the prisoner
was in his service he lost property from his shop to the
amount of 3001.—The prisoner was sentenced to be impri-
soned and kept to hard labour for eighteen months.
NEW COMET.—Before the Recorder, Aldermen Sir J. Fide, Re..

ROBBERY AT A CONVIVIAL MIIIITINO.—Juseph Dyke, 34,
and Mary Ann Brennan, 20, were indicted for committing
&robbery on the person of John Urquhart. The prosecutor,
an Inverness turner, stated that he arrived in London on
the 9th of September. On the evening of the 10th, whit:, in
Drury-lane, he was attracted by some sawing in the White
Lion public-house. He went in, and was honoured by being
installed into the vice chair. Dancing commenced, but it
not being conducted in accordance with the prosecutor's
notions of propriety he evacuated his post, and was
about to leave the room, when the male prisoner
(who was chairman and muter of the ceremonies)
laid he wished to speak with him at the bar.
When on the stairs the male prisoner seized his watch,
value five guineas, with which he made off, and the
female seized his puree, containing IL 11s. bd., and his
pocket-handkerchief. The prosecutor called out etentoriously
that he was robbed, and he insisted upon the door being
closed until the police came. However, despite this precau-
tion, the chairman found an cult. The woman was given
into custody at the time, and the man was taken on lot
Friday week.—The jury, without hesitation, found both
prisoners Guilty.—lt was then proved that Dyke had been
convicted before four times, and the woman had also been
convicted of robbery.— The court sentenced them indi
vidually to 10 years transportation.—Each protested inno-
cence of this crime.

POLICE.-V- ESTEIDAL

MANSION-HOUSE.—Conertuacr ro DETRAVD.—T
Holliday, 11. Gardner, 11. Cued!, and J. Loup were finally
examined on a charge of having conspired to defraud. The
following new cue eras first opened against Gardner and
Holliday.—F. J. Routledge, of the firm of Routledge and
Felix, of Addle-street, Chespeide, said I know .Gardner and
Holliday. The latter called on me on the sth of August, to
look at some gloves. He said he wished to ship some, and
be selected some to the amount of 321. Ba, at It per cent.
discount at 18 days. He gave WI a further order for 501. or
601. worth, but I did not execute that order, for I saw the
gloves I had sold in the bon's of a Mr. Barnett, who 1
heard offered them at a large discount. I applied several
times for payment, and occasionally saw both Gardner and
Holliday, but they both put me off. They always told me
that the goods were for shipping.—Barnett, buyer to the firm
of Barnett, Leaf, and Co., of Wood-street, warehousemen,
said I know Mr. Cusell and Mr. Routledge, who arc frequently
at our premises. I showed Mr. Routledge some gloves on,
I think, the 6th or lth of August, which I got from Mr.
Cusell. I purchased them of Cusell. He said be had some
gloves for sale, and I went to look at them, and told him I
was quite full of the article. Ile said he would make them
cheap. I examined them and made him an offer, which he
accepted ; it was 2.5 per cent. off the prices on the paper.-
-Cross examined by Mr. Charnock for Cusell I have done
business with Mr. Cusell these ten years, and never found
anything out of the way in his dealings.—Mr Hillery said
he should show by • variety of cases, dovetailing with each
other, the existence of a general combination and conspiracy
amongst the four defendants, and in doing so it would be ne-
rower/ to revert to the case relating to the tools obtained by
Gardner and Holliday, which were given up upon threaten.
Mg to appeal to the Lord Mayor.—J. Brown, clerk at the
Custom-hour Wharf, kept by Messrs. Hill and Co., stated
that on the 30th of July he had a receiving note from Mr.
Williams, of the export warehouse, for three packages of
goods marked P in a diamond. On the 3rd of August he
received a delivery order for the same packages. He knew
Cusell, but not Loup. The delivery order Was signed
"Gardner and Co."--Mr. G. Williams, clerk in the es-
cort warehouse of the Custom-house Wharf, stated that he
received from Mr. Brown some goods which he
subsequently delivered upon a delivery order to a
person named Needle.—Mr. R. Booth, of Budge-row,
auctioneer, said: A person whom he believed to be Rollidsy
called upon him with a card, on which was written,
" Gardner le Co., Pancras-lane." He said be wanted to bor-
row 1001. upon some tools, when he told him he never
advanced money except in caw of a public sale. Ho said he
would send the goods. Between four and five o'clock on
that day there were two casks and a large can brought by
the same person, and witness gave him 201. in cash and a
cheque for 201. upon them. On the 10th August he came
again accompanied by &gentleman, whom witness believed to
be Cunt'. He said he wanted the goods, and asked what
witness charged for warehouse room, as he wished to take
them away. Witness said two sovereigns as he had advanced
401., in all 424 The money was paid and the goods taken away.
The fact of the receipt of the goods at the Custom-house
Wharf, and the subsequent delivery by them to a carman
who conveyed them to the premises of Mr. Booth, in Budge-
row, was proved.—Mr. J. Johnson, calenderer and packer,
received the goods from Cusell on the 10th of August, and
afterwards delivered them to Mr. Cranch. Saw Loup
the same evening the goods came in. The goods
came loose. Loup said we were to take care of the
goods. He seemed to know the tools at once. Saw Loup
again next morning, when they sorted out the tools ready for
inspection. Loup brought a person to look at them. Be-
tween the 10th sad the 21st witness saw Loup repeatedly.—
Cross-examined by Mr. Vanaandau, for Loup Loup ap-
peared to be interested in the tools. Had known him 27 or
30 years, and believed him to be a respectable man. Never
heard anything against him. He is a commission agent.
There were other goods in the house in which Loup
was interested. Could not say whether Mr. Loup
showed the person who was with him those other goods.—
Mr. Huddleston here stated that information had been re-
ceived from an authentic source to the effect that Gardner
and Holliday had obtained goods to the amount of 1,1901.
from a house in Scotland.—C. Proctor, •porter, said, in Aug.
last Loup said he had not time to look after the tools him-
self, but if witness knew any one who would buy them, he
could see to it. Witness mentioned Mr. Buck's name to
him, and took Mr. Buck to look at them.—Cross-examined
for Loup : Never heard anything to the disparagement of
Loup. Belonged to a highly respectable house in the Old
Jewry, in which Mr. Loup had the whole control and ma-
nagement. Was employed under Loup to find purchasers
for gooda—Mr. Joseph V. Tucker, of Sun-street, Bishops-
gate, plane and saw maker, said, in May last,
I went to Gardner and Holliday's offices, and saw
Gardner, and told him I called respecting en order for tools.
' He said the goods were to go to America, bu,t Mr. Holliday
knew most about it, and he was then engaged. Afterwards
saw both of them together, and they said they wanted tools
for shipment. Holliday said they were for Sydney, and they
gave a list for 1271. worth of goods. Winless thought the
matter suspicious, as one of them said the goods were for
America and the other for Sydney. In consequence of a
message witness went to Johnson and Day's premises, and
' saw a person there, and Mr. Johnson said " That is Mr. Cusell
there ;" but he only saw his back.—Frederick Titan, son of
the last witness, said he called upon Loup, having heard
that he had tools for sale. He sent witness to Messrs.
Johnson and Day's premises to see them ; wittier asked him
from whom he had got them, but could not learn; he said
he had got them to sell for • party ; he said they were
Tucker's make, and he believed they were very good.—Mr.
Huddleston said there was another case, in which Gardner,
Holliday, and easel' were implicated previously to the first
case entered into with respect to Mr. Gray, who was de-
frauded of his rope. The case was one in which Mr. Gray
had been defrauded of goods to the amount of 901., which
had been obtained like the other goods, for shipment. A bill
had been given which became due, and the answer returned
was no assets. The learned counsel, however, did not con-
fider it necessary to accumulate eases before the Lord Mayor,
as the prolecntor could avail himself of all additional evi-
dencein the several indictments which it might be considered
necessary to lay.—Mr. Vansandau contended that Mr. Loup,
his client, was by no means criminally affected by what had
been represented, as he had acted all through merely as the
agent of Mr. Cosa, and without any knowledge that the
goods had been obtained by any improper or irregular means.
—The Lord Mayor said he was determined to send the
whole business to be decided upon before • higher tribunal.
—The defendants were then all ordered to be committed for
trial at the Central Criminal Court. His lordship said he
would accept ball. Cusell and Loop procured bail. Gard-
ner and Holiday were sent to Newgate.
GUILDHALL—A HARD CABll.—Aocording to arrange-
ment, Mr. Swan, co behalf of Messrs. Pickford ano.,
carriers, and James Job e, the pictrizembaler, whose ease
we reported on Unary kat, attend= to hear the decision
of the City sash= resprmtias the power etas magistrates

the complainant was compelled to return to town.
On his arrival here he made application at Pickford's for his
goods, and was told that they had been sent to A
and itteletit,
he had better inquire at Messrs. Chaplin sad 's,
into whose care they were given. When Ike OM awn
before the magistrates, on Wednesday lam,,t was sonhmded
by Mr. Swan that they had no jurisdiction in the ere, it
being one entirely for the county coart.—Mr. Bwas new

through their own misconduct he did not recoire the pictures
at Aylcsbury..—Sir Peter Laurie asked Mr. Martin, from the
City. Soliodor s +Ace, to state his opinion as to their juris-
diction.—Mr.Martin said he bad come to the conviction
that the magistrates had no jurisdiction, although he thought
the subject a fit one for a civil action. If it had been shown
that the goods were lying at Messrs. Pickford and Co.'s
office in the City of London, that would have been another
affair. It wanclear that railway carriers were in the eye of
the law common carriers, and subject to the same responsi-
bilities, and there could be no doubt Johnson had a civil
remedy for the wring he had suffered. Whether the ma.
gistrates at Marylebone In whose district the
property was now detained, could help Mr. Johnson he
would not take upon himself to say, but the worthy alder-
man bad no power to interfere.—Johnson said as he was
departing that he was a ruined man. The goods which he
had, being worth 304., formed the whole of his capital, and
he had been doing nothing for the last eleven days.

WORSHI P-ST BEET. —S linen CASE.—George John
ifinerois, • working jeweller, was placed at the bar before
Mr. Ramrod!, charged with having concealed the birth of a
newly-born female infant, the alleged offspring of his
daughter.—Sergeant Price stated that the body of &child had
been discovered in an out-house in Sandy's-row, Spitalfields,
in which the prisoner and his daughter occupied an apart-
ment. He proceeded there on San •y afternoon to question
the young woman upon the subject. In answer to his in-
quiries
the daughter, who appeared to be in a very debili-
tated condition, acknowledged that she had been very ill
lately, but had had no medical attendance ; but the father,
on the same question being put to him, said that as far as he
knew nothing had been the matter with her. Witness then
intimated to them the necessity of the young woman under-

confirmed his suspicions, the daughter was at once removed
to the infirmary of the Whitechapel workhouse, and the
prisoner was conveyed to the station.—Patrick Curtin, a
shoemaker, occupying a house in the rear of that in which the
prisoners lived, stated that on going to his back premises on
Saturday morning he observed the body of a child partly
immersed in filth, head downwards, and distinctly noticed a
tremulous motion of the limbs, which satisfied him that it
was still alive. He, therefore, battened air essiatancet and
o• his return found that the body had been rertiaiTa by a
man named Josephs, who placed it in a pail of water, for
the purpose of cleansing it, and afterwards sent fora surgeon
in the neighbourhood, but who, upon his arrival there, pro-
nounced it to be dead.—Franees Nathan, lodging in the
same house as the prisoner, stated that early on Saturday
morning she heard a confused noise in the prisoner's room,
and hearing the prisoner shortly afterwards proceeding down
the stairs one went to her window, from which she saw him
cross the yard to the water closet with a pail in his hand,
and return almost instantly with it empty. As soon as he
had done so the witness also went down to the same place,
and saw spots of blood all the way down the stairs and pas-
sage to the outhouse.—Mr. Meares, the divisional sur-
geon, stated that he had ascertained upon examination
that the prisoner's daughter had recently given birth to a
child, and he had since seen the infant referred to, which
was perfectly mature, and had evidently not long been de-
posited in the place where it was found, but whether or not
it was born alive he was incapable of stating until he had
performed a post mortars examination.—Sergeant Price in-
formed the magistrate that he had several other witnesses in
attendance to depose to the same frets, and at the next ex-
amination should be able to produce a witness. named
Amelia Levy, who would conclusively
.prove some im-
portant facts connected with the prisoner and his
daughter.—The prisoner di/ not offer any defence,
maintaining complete silence throughout the proceedings.—
Mr. Hammill ordered him to be remanded for a; week, for
the completion of the evidence.
CLERKEN W ELL.—ROBBERT. —Emma Mathews was
charged with hiving stolen a cash-box, containing thirty
sovereigns and a bill of exchange for 3001., a silver watch
and guard chain, and other roperty. Eliza nude', ser-
vant to the prosecutor, Mr. John Bonner, builder, of No.
51, Peartree-csurt, Clerkenwell, stated that the prisoner
was formerly in the service of the prosecutor, and she, wit-
ness, had succeeded her, and had been is the family for the
last three months. Oa Sunday evening, while her master
and mistress were out, the prisoner knocked and forced her
way in,and said she had been sent by Mrs. Oppey for her
boy's tippet, which had been left there, and wanted to go up
stairs. She refused to let her do so, when the prisoner said
abe was going into the country, and she would take witness
with her and pay all her esgensesifshe would let her, the pri-
inner, go up stairs to get something she had left behind her
when she quitted the service of Mr. Bonner. Witness still
refused, and the prisoner said she had a letter which she
could not read, and asked if witness would get a light,
at the same time pushing by her, and entering
the parlour. Witness went to the kitchen, and brought
up a light, when the prisoner had no letter to read,
and she took a bunch of keys from the cupboard door, and
lon leaving the parlour she ran up stairs. Witness dame-
diately opened the street-door, and called out until • '
crowd assembled, and police-constable 208 0 came to the
spot, and went through the next house, and climbing over
the adjoining wall he found the prisoner concealed, with the
property in ber possession, and he took her to the station-
house. On proceeding into her master's bed-room, the cup-
board where the property was kept had been opened, and the
place was all in confusion, and the property gone.—Mr.
Tyrwhitt recognised the prisoner as having been charged
with robbery at this court a very short time ago, when she
sou dischsrged for want of sufficient evidence.—Mr. B.
Theobald, her late master, said she bad been with him one
week only, when she robbed his house. His street-door key
was found in her possession, and several attempts had been
made to rob his premises since she had left.—Mr. Tyrwhitt
committed her for trial.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—ROBBERT or PLATS.—
Parior wu charged with stealing a quantity of silver
plate, consisting of coffee-pots, tea-pot., candlesticks,
epergne*, and other articles, of the value of :001. the pro-
perty of W. [lions, Esq., No. 6, Stratton-street, Piccadilly.
The prisoner hail been a footman in the service of the prose-
cutor. On the II th inst. the prosecutor returned to town
rather unexpectedly, and on the butler going to the plate
cupboard to get the necessary articles for his breakfast, he
discovered that the tea and coffee pots had been taken out of
their coven, and wooden " dummies" substituted in their
places. Ile informed Mr. Binns, who sent him for a con-
stable. On making a farther examination, it was disco-
vered that nearly every article of plate bad been abstracted,
and their places supplied with wooden models. Suspicion
naturally fell upon the footman, who had the cleaning of the
plate, and it was found that he had absconded. Sergeant
Gray traced the prisoner to Wooten, Woodstock, from thence
back to London, and on to Uptninster, in Essex, where he
lost all clue of him. He then heard that the prisoner was
secreted in London, and, after a deal of trouble, succeeded in
getting a clue that the prisoner was to be found located in a
house in Lichfield-street, Soho. He watched the house
closely for a considerable length of time, until Saturday
night, when he saw the prisoner come out and look stealthily
about him, when he was taken into custody. The prisoner
admitted that he had pledged all the articles missing, and
delivered into his (Gray's) hands a number of duplicates re-
lating to the stolen property, which was pledged at various
pawnbrokers', who if a remand was granted would come for-
ward and identify the prisoner.—Mr. Hardwick remanded
the prisoner till Friday.

WESTMINSTER. UNFOUNDED ACCUSATION. G.
thee*, • very respectable-looking man, we. charged with
stealing an earthenware jug.-3. M'Cartliy, who said he was
a wine-merchant, but, when questioned by the magistrate,
said he had no place of business, deposed that u he was
removing his things from the prisoner's house, where he
lodged, he saw the jug in the parlour, and gave the prisoner
into custody.—The accused said that the jug, of which the
spout was broken, and which was worth about 3d., had been
lent to him by the prosecutor, and had been used by his
family for five weeks before. The prosecutor was leaving
the house without paying his rent, and the prisoner refused
to allow him to do so; at that moment the jug happening
to be brought into the room, the prosecutor immediately
accused him of having stolen it, and gave him into custody.
—The magistrate, observing that so impudent a charge had
never before been brought under his notice, immediately dia.
charged the accused.
HAMMERSMITH.—ROBBIRY or BANK-NOTES, &c.
—C. C. Thurston was finally examined charged on suspicion
of having been concerned in stealing on the 3rd instant, from
the premises of Mr. W. Redluson' the Sussex Arms
Tavern, Broadway, Hammersmith, a cash-box, containing
banknotes, &c., to the value of one hundred pounds, and a
cheque on the banking house of Messrs. Drewett aad Fowler
for IN. 3s. Sd. The prisoner was remanded for the third
time on Thursday last, in order to afford the police more
time to trace out the residence of an applewoman, who on
the day of the robbery had a stall in Hungerford-street,
Strand, and informed Sergeant Mount that she saw the
prisoner, who got off an omnibus on which he had rode from
Hammersmith directly alter the robbery, and that he joined
two men whose description, as'she gave it, corresponds with
that of the two men who stole the cash-box.—lnspector Mor-
gan, T division, informed the magistrate that the police were
unable to carry the case further against the prisoner.—Mr.

MONEY MARKET.

AONDAT EVmm'•,

The difficulties of the commercial interest ii7;;TWot,
we regret to state, been yet brought to a termination.
It was very generally rumoured on Saturday evening
that the acceptances of the East India firm of Messrs.
Cockerel and Co., of Austin-friars, had been disho-
noured by their bankers, but, as the ordinary Pa"-
manta of the house proceeded as usual up to the
hoar of five o'clock, it was hoped by many that
means would again, as in a former instance spoken
of, have ,
.been found of preserving the credit of this
old and, for a long series of years, superior establish-
ment. The bank directors are believed to have felt a
very strong desire to afford the requisite aseistance.
mpathy for the fate of so eminent a firm
Hwuld alone have suggested such a desire, but,
besides this, there most have been the addi-
tional motive, arising from an anxiety with re-
spect to the porible consequences of its threatened
fall, to other homes. They do not, however,
_appear
to have considered themselves warranted in Going flu
necessary length in order to avert the calamity, eines
the reports of Saturday have been rally confirmed to-
day. -The liabilities of Messrs. Cockerel and Co.
have been roughly put down at about three quartos
of a million sterling, but as it is their declared inten-
tion to issue a circular embodying the particulars

needed for the guidance of the creditors, each of them
will dolibtless be put in possession of the document
this evening. Sir George lt. Larpent, Bart., who
was recently a candidate for the representation of the
City of London, was a partner in the firm, and influ-
entially connected with several of the joint-stock
companies. Glasgow, and some other large towns in
the north, will suffer by this suspension, but our local
houses in the East India trade seem to have escaped.
At all events they will not be compromised to any
extent. The assets will, it is said, eventually produce
20s. in the pound, bat creditors must not be so san-
guine as to make sure of this.
In the course of the morning it wit+ also ascertained
that the banking firm of Messrs. Cockburn and Co.,
of Whitehall, had been unable to meet their engage-
ments. This concern will probably be better known
to the public as having acted in the capacity of army
agents. The failure in the Gibraltar trade noticed on
Saturday, was that of Messrs. Bensusan and Co., the
liabilities of whom have been said to amount to
150,0001., yet they cannot, it is thought by those who
are likely to know something of the matter, exceed
one-half of that sum. Messrs. Bensnsan and Co. are
understood to have been lately doing business with
Mexico. Their resources in that quarter may, in such
case, be supposed to have been cut off through the
intervention of the war with the United States. Still
another house has to be added to the list of those
unfortunately overtaken by the pressure of the times.
This party, who are well connected, have been
engaged in the working of some important patents,
and their debts may be supposed to be large.
The names of all these parties were freely men-
tioned on Saturday in every business haunt; but
it was impossible to ascertain the truth of the
rumours with sufficient certainty to warrant us in
broadly naming the firms under this head then.
Ina crisis like the present too much caution cannot
be used.

With so many discouragements, the stock markets
might have been expected to go materially lower,
but the principal event had evidently been fully
"discounted," to use the technical phraseology of the
jobbers, as there was no decline beyond that which
I occurred on Saturday. Everything left off this
evening nearly as possible the same. Consols, 851 to
1 for money, and 851 to 6 for account ; Exchequer
bills Is. to 7s. prem.
The foreign securities were not much dealt in, but
prices were nevertheless, in one or two cases, rather
upon the advance, especially towards the close
of business —Two-and-a-Half per Cent. Dutch,
511 to 1; the Four per Cent. Certificates, 861
to 4. Three per Cent. Spanish, 281. Mexican, 181
to I.—Nominally the quotations of the day were as
follows : Belgian, 90 to 2. Brazilian, 81 to 3 ; the
New Bonds, 801 to 21. Buenos Ayres, 35 to 8.
Six per Cent. Chian, 90 to 2 ; Three per Cent. ditto,
51 to 3. Danish, 83 to S. Two-and-a-Half per Cent.
Dutch, 54 to 5; the Four per Cent. Certificates, 86 to
7. Equador, 21 to 3. New Grenada, 18 to 19;
the Deferred Bonds, 31, to 4. Mexican, 181
to 191 ; Peruvian, 32 to 4 ; Portuguese, 24 to 6;
Russian, 105 to 7 ; Five per Cent. Spanish, 191 to ;
Three per Cent. Ditto, 281 to 9; the Passive Bonds,
41 to - : Venezuelan, 35 to 7; the Deferred Bonds,
9 to 11.

Speculation is now beginning to run upon the
prospects of what may be the state of the money
market consequent upon the receipt of further advices
from the United States. The steamer Caledonia, with
dates from New York to the middle of the month,
may be looked for at Liverpool the day after to-mor-
row, and the advices she will bring must have a most
important bearing.
