THE GREAT JEWEL ROI3IIE3IEB.

ExisiNATION AT BOW-STREBT.—(THIS DAY).
At Bow-street Police-court this day (Tuesday) Mr.
node roomed the examination of the several prises,
(urged with committlag, or being conoarned in committing,
lb, "met burglaries at the establiahments of Mr. Alan-
rids Strand ; Mr. Walker, of Corshill ; and Mr.
Jobs,* of Threadoenllnetrest, jeweller.
Tsars bad excited even more public attention and in-
wed sea on the former occasion, sad the approaches to
the cart were COOWAINI with persons eager to get a sight of
the sasses need hardly Nomad that at the oommence -
sart-d the proosedings, the court was crowded to excess,
sad ambers of snow disappointed in obtaining admission,
mama outside blocking the pussies to suffocation.
Amoy* the gentlemen occupying seats on the bench
sirs ieed George Gordon Lennox, Lord George Gorden
owe, Load Hay, Lord logestro, and Sir Richard Mayne.
gc. Nilson, the City solicitor, was also present.
The following prisoners were brought up as remand :
vrain, Brown, Sias Price, alias Scotty ; James and
vas Hurley, William H. and Martha Jaffrey, Thomas j
sal Lowit Brewerton, alias Bruton, Thomas and Anne
The pronouns was eoecincted by Mr. George Lewis,
)0., for Mr. Walker and Mr. Johnson ; end Mr. Ahrens,
from the offioe of Mr. Goofier, for Mr. Abrahams ; and
pittLeaap, the barrister, instructed by Mr. Beard, der
WS Jeffrey, Coals, and Brewerton.
The case had been appointed to be heard at 12 o'closh,
peg sp to half-past 12 the prisoners had not been placed at
Ile too.
gr. Flowers having asked the eats of the delay,
Seperinterdent Durkin (of the G division) stated
mat it was thought.necemary that ass of the prisoners
denied be seen by outdo witness, with a view to ascertain
whether they could identify them.
(It nay be explained that the practice is to place a pri-
mes for this purpose amongst a crowd of persons of similar
rimed aspect, and then bring in the witness, to anticipate
my objection which might arise if the witness had the op-
megamity of distisgnishisg the primmer by his conspicuous
politico is the dock. This course was adopted on the pre-
set oecadoo.
I A still further delay ensued, and an impression became
prevalent that one of the prisoners bad offered to give in.
locanstioa, and was now making a statement in another
WOW.
At five minutea to 1 o'clock the eight prisoners (Hurley,
Jew, CadeT, and Brewerton) were plated at the bar.
Mr. Abrams said he bad no evidence to connect these
primers with the burglary at Mr. Abraham'''.
Mr. Lewis—Sir, I again appear on the part of Mr. Walker
sad also of Mr. Johnson, and possibly there will be other
pomading against these prisoners for other burglaries com-
mitted in the city of London. And my application to you is
igg gne prisoners be remitted to the city of London, where
Neely all the witnesses reside, and where the offenses were
exemitted. I need hardly point out the extreme conve-
ness of that course, and I imagine you would not be S-
elma to pet the witnesses to the inconvenience of combs
In this distance. At the same time I repeat both on behalf
dlr. Walker and Mr. Johnson that they feel the greatest
pentode to the metropolitan polios foe the exertions and
ability they have displayed in this case.
Mr. Flower-1 understand, and would wish to know if it
is the CAW that there is a man of the name of Roberts in
csetedy at the Mansion-house ; is he supposed to be cos-
seted with these burglaries!
Mr. Lewis—He is ; and at this moment be is detained at
the Mansion-bones awaiting the arrival of Mr. Walker and
UN other witnesses.

Mr. Flowers—My difficulty, as I presume you are aware,
wu the second section of Janie§ Act. Those persons were
brought before me, and I did not see quite well bow I oould,
without sufficient muse being shown, remit them to the
City, which could only be done by a warrant, which, you
will remember, sets forth that the principal witnesses
reside in the City. Mr. Abrams now states that there
is no evidence to coonect them with the case of Mr.
Abrahams, and as you now state for the prosecution that
the principal witnesses reside in the City, I think cams
has been shown to justify me in sending them to be ex.
