POLICE.-YESTERDAY.

O CTILDHALL.—OBTAINING GOODS TJNDEIL FALSE PEE-
TENCES.—J.CoiIiss wu re-examined, charged with obtain-
ing goods under false pretences.—The evidence adduced on
the last examination went to show thut the prisoner called
at several houses of business, and after asking the price of
certain goof's, requested them to be sent with him to Bar-
thol-mew-close for approval. On the messengers arriving
there, the prisoner always took the goods from them, telling
them to wait till he should return with the money. lie then
either entered a public-house or a coffee-shop at one door,
and went out at the other, and escaped with the goods.—
Mr. Lund of Aldersgate-street, stated that on the 24th of

November the prisoner ordered some spirit lamps, which
were to be sent with him to Bartholomew close. The value
of the lamps was IL 3e. The prisoner told the boy who went
with him to wait, as he had done with others, and entered a
public-house, and went out at another doer.—Police-con
stable Ham, 276, said that sine, the prisoner was !art before
Sir P. Laurie, he had received a letter from him, confessing
where he had pledged end sold the various goods. Witnees
had told the pawnbrokers to attend, but he only saw one of
them.—A pawnbroker's assistant deposed "to the prisoner
pledging four decanters for ss. on the 20th of November.—
The prisoner was remanded for the attendance of the other
pawnbrokers.
W ORSH I P-STREET. —PHNOM:Trine TINDER THE SARI.
TaRT ACT.—Mr. H. Poitteoin, described as a patent highly
concentrated manure manufoctarer, in Queen-street, Mile-
end, was charged with having suffered • quantity of
offensive matter to accumulate upon his premises, whereby
the public health had been seriously impaired.—lnspector
Ellis stated, that on going to inspect the place, he was con-
ducted by the defendant's foreman into an enclosure about
a hundred yards square, in which he found three large sheds,
each of about 60 or 60 feet in length, and two of them
exposed to the atmosphere at the aides. They were filled to
the depth of four or five feet with a mass of matter, of the
consistency of earth, to the extent of several hundred tons,
and apparently composed of blood, night soil, and other
ani-
malsubstances, and exhaling such an offensive effluvium that
it was completely overpowering. The foreman informed
him that they had formerly been in the habit of consolidat.
ing the liquid manure, by subjecting it to a powerful heat,
but that they had lately abandoned that practice, and
obtained the same result by the application of chemical
agents. The foreman added, that the value of the materials
then upon the ground was at least 2,0001., and that if the
defendant were compelled to remove them before the month
of March, it would be attended by his entire ruin. He
was proceeding to some further explanations, when they
were abruptly brought to a close by the witness being seized
with a violent sickness, caused by the foetid state of the
atmosphere, which compelled him to retire.and the pernicious
effects continued for several days.—Mr. Samuel Byles, one
of the district surgeons of the Whitechapel union, stated
that the defendant's manufactory was situated only 100 feet
from the walls of the workhouse, which was at present un-
usually crowded, and febrile and other affections prevailed
extensively among the inmates. He had observed that
whenever the wind blew from the defendant's premises, the
smell was in the highest degree offensive, and calculated to
produce the most pernicious consequences. On such owe-
lions he had found that whatever diseases happened to pre-
vail in the workhouse, they exhibited a great tendency to
putrescence, and assumed a most malignant and intractable
character. The house contained nearly 400 children, who
were peculiarly susceptible to the effects of impurity of
atmosphere, and amongst whom there had lately been 12
cues of spontaneous gangrene, a disease which only existed
when the atmosphere was excessively impure, and all of
which had terminated fatally. Whenever the effluvium be-
came powerful, the adult portion of the inmates were attacked
with severe diarrhoea, which invariably subsided as soon as
the wind changed ; and he felt satisfied that the nuisance in
question was the proximate cause of their illness. When-
ever • humid atmosphere prevailed, in whatever quarter
the wind might be, the smell was highly offensive,
and although the actual manufacture had ceased,
the same results would ensue if the bulk of the *tack were
allowed to be disturbed.—Mr. J. Liddle' surgeon of the
union, confirmed the evidence of the last witness in every
particular, and aided, that, after his visit of inspection to
the premises, he was seized with a violent sickness, and was
ill for three or four days. The eftlievium so impregnated the
atmosphere that he could smell it at a distance of three
quarters of • mile.—Mr. 8. Birch, surgeon to the London
Hospital, which is situate near to the promisee in question,
also spoke to the deleterious effect of the malaria engendered
by the defendant's manufacture upon the health of the
Inmates of that establishment and the surrounding neigh-
bourhood ; and added, that though other nuisances existed
in the district, this wu decidedly the most dangerous of the
whole.—Mr. Buchanan, who appeared for the defendant,
lead that he:could not but admit the existence of the nuisance
complained of, but as its immediate removal would be pro-
ductive of the most ruinous consequences to his clients, who
had embarked a large °spite' in the manufacture, lei had
every disposition to suppress the evil as speedily es peadhle,
he trusted the magistrate would puma sum

had never held any situation in the British Museum.—Mr.
Corr, furniture-dealer, Aston plate, Holloway, said, towards
the latter end of July Mr. Smith (the prosecutor on the for-
mer examination) introduced Esmann to him as a respect-
able man having the command of plenty of money. Some
time after this Bunion applied to him for goods to furnish
apartments. Esmann said he had an appointment in the
British Museum—he had a suite of apartments there, and
the furniture must be of a good description. Esmann se-
lected goods to the amount of 101., but witness was reluctant
to send them. The prisoner, however, called, and took part
away in a cab, and witness took a looking-glass for him to
No. 47, Russell-street, the house kept by Poncy. Witness
agreed to take a bill for the goods. This bill had net been
paid. Witness saw Poncy, and put some questions to him
in relation to the order for furniture given by Esmann.
Poncy said he knew nothing about Esmann's furniture
transactions, and incidentally told him that Esmann had got
an appointment at the British Museum, and was to enter on
his duties in January next. Poncy also said Esmann
was going to live in the building. His suspicions vanished
at thu, and he sent in all the goods ordered by Esmann.—Mr
Bingham said he could not discharge Poney on his own de-
claration that he had been taken in by Esmann. If Mr. Bal.
lantyne (Pony's counsel) could show that Poncy bad been
deceived, then such a circumstance would operate on the de-
cision he should come to.—Mr. Ballantyne proceeded to
segue that Esmann, by hie plausible appearance and repre-
sentations, succeeded in imposing on Mr. Poncy, who was a
respectable tradesman, and had carried on burtnem in Great
Russell-street for many years. With respect to the transac-
tion between Esmann and Smith (gone into at the former
examination), that would have to be investigated elsewhere,
and he should not now enter upon it. As to the case of Carr,
it was clear from the evidence that the goods obtained by
Esmann were obtained entirely through Smith's representa-
tions of Eemson's respectability. He could, if necessary,
show that Burman owed Pone" a considerable sum of money,
and that Poncy had seized the furniture in Esmann's possession
for arrears of rent —Mr. Bingham said his opinion was, that
the testimony given by Carr had materially altered the as-
pect of the case against Poncy, who had repeatedly denied
to Carr that he knew anything about the purchase of the
furniture •, and it also appeared that the etettment about
Esmann holding • situation in the British Museum only
came out accidentally. He should now only require Ponce
to find sureties to appear as a witness at the Central
Criminal Court. Mr. Bingham said he had received a letter
is German from the prisoner Esmenn.—The Leger was
translated. It stated that it was a "good comedy" for
Smith to charge the writer (Esmatio) with obtaining money
from him, when Smith was in his debt. He should, how-
ever, prove all this in another court. The writer did not
understand English, and he hoped the magistrate would
order the deposition, to be translated into German.—Mr.
Bingham mid he could not comply with this request. He
would assist the prisoner to understand the charge, and to
prepare his defence.—Esmann was then committed for trial.
LAMBETII.—PLATE ROBIARY.—J. Simpson, alias
Scott, and Mary Ann Simpson, alias Taylor, were re-exa-
mined, charged with stealing plate and jewellery of the value
of over 1001., from the house of Mr. Edwards, Camberwell- '
green. On the evening of Sunday, the 31st of lest month,
the house of Mr. Edwards had been entered during the ab-
sence of the family at church by means of a latch-key, the
plate drawer in the bedroom of Mr. Edwards forced open,
and a ten-service of plate, together with a number of rings
and trinkets, amounting altogether to over 1001. in value,
carried away. The prisoners at the time lodged at the house
of a person, named Tomlin, 10, Friar-street, Blackfriars,
and their landlord sod landlady having suspicions that they
were bad characters and in possession of stolen property,
Tomlin went to the station-house on the morning of the 2nd
of last month, and gave information to the inspector
on duty at the Southwark station. The inspector asked
Tomlin several questions about his knowledge as to whether
the property had been stolen or not, and ultimately told him
he should send a constable to inquire into the affair. After
some hours had elapsed without a constable being seat, the
male prisosier, baring discovered that the landlady had been
into his room in his absence, expressed much annoyance, and
abused both the landlady and her husband. He then pre-
pared to leave the house, and in the landlady's presence
turned over the water butt in the yard and took from under-
' neath a number of silver knives and forks. The landlord
called in a policeman and told him what was going forward ;
I but, not wishing to act upon his own rerponubility, he (the
policeman) went in search of a brother constable to consult
i him on the business, and during his absence the prisoners
left the house, carrying with them the greater portion of the
stolen property. They were taken at an inn at Kidder-
minster, and a email portion of the stolen property found on
them. The female, who had formerly been in the service of
Mr. Edwards, on her way to the railway station, told In- I
specter Campbell that if she was discharged Mr:Edwards
would stand a good chance of getting his property back. The 1
male prisoner at first said he thought they would be trans- I
ported for the job; but added, that the best thing Mr. Ed-
wards could do would be to get them " turned up," and in
that case he should get back his plate.—The prisoners were
committed for trial

MONEY MARKET.

THIMSDAT ETINING.

The funds opened firmly this morning, sod, after a
temporary retrogradation, rallied to all but the
highest point of improvement. The operators were
guided in their dealings principally by the degree of
confidence felt as to a reduction by the Bank of its
minimum rate of discount. A notification was sent
to the Stock Exchange, about 2 o'clock, to the effect,
that the charge had been lowered from 7 per cent. to
6 per cent. per annum. We are, consequently, borne
oat in oar notifications of yesterday. Consols 8.5; to
6 for money, and 86i for account ; Exchequer Bills
ls. to Zia. prem.
Little was done in the foreign house, but still prices
are generally better. Mexican Stock, 17; to Por-
tuguese, 22 to} ; Five per Cent. Span fah, 18 to ;
Three per Cent. ditto, 29 to I. Two-and-a-Half per

Consols were said to have gone flatter after the
ordinary business hours. They were called 864 to
for account.

The generally skilful management of Russian
financial and monetary affairs of late years need not
be questioned, and therefore it is the more difficult to
reconcile with such conduct and reputation a recently
decreed operation upon such a diminutive scale as
that which follows.

The affairs of the large East India firm under sus-
pense have to-day been satisfactorily arranged.
Nearly the whole of the signatures to the guarantee
lists were obtained in the course of the morning, and
the matter may at length be considered as definitively
disposed of. The delays noticed from day to day
would appear to have arisen from the stringency of
the conditions exacted by one of the leading parties
to the arrangement.
