Cerden, charged with robbing his employers, Mears.
M'Donald and Brown, commission agents, Milkotrest„
Chcepside.
It appeared that the prisoner was porter to the premien-
tars, and in consequence of suspicion that was enter-
tained that he was robbing them, he was watched by
Backman, a detective officer, on Saturday week and on
Saturday hat also. On the first occasion he went to the shop
of Mrs. Cook, a haberdasher, in High-street, Wapping, and
it appeared that he had sold to her a number Of articles
worth 71. upon different occasions, and that he represented
himself to be a traveller to a commercial house in the city.

11055E1T ST AN ITALIAN COUNTESS.
A fmhionably attired female, who gave the name of Rise
de (ATM, residaig at 11, Park-ros4 Regent's-park, and
who was described as an Italian countess, wee placed at the
bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with stealing on the 2nd
instant, 1 shawl, 1 parasol, and a pair of ear•rings, of the
value of 4/., the property of Madame Sarah de Mark,, of
172, Euston-road, St. Puma.
Mr. Albert acted.. interpreter.
The complainant, who is a French lady, said that the
prisoner lodged with her for some time, and was in the habit
of borrowing wearing apparel from her. Last week she
went away from the home, taking the above things with
her, and not returning, information was given to the po-
lice, and the prisoner was apprehended by Cook,
19M S. but not without a groat deal of trouble,
for the prisoner barricaded her door. When
she was taken into custody a pawnbroker's duplicate
relating to the complainant's shawl wee found upon her.
There was another charge against the prisoner of obtaining
3/. 10a. by means of false pretences, but this was not gone
into.

The prisoner in defence saii that the prosseut&
bad lent her the articles, and she could produce witnesses
to show that that was the case.

Mr. Albert maid there could be no doubt that the prisoner
was a countess, and had in this country fallen into bad
hands and plundered to • grad extent.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner until Thursday next,
but took her reoognissnoss for her appearance.

" IaILIKAL " MEMBER FOR STROVD.—Mr.
Horsmaa's speech will probably be remembered in future
times as tearipai the extreme point to which the tide of
liberalises receded during the days of the great reaction of
1880. tio extravagant were Mr. ficeaman's preitime—so
entirely did he overlook or neglect the established preen:i-
deate and doctrines upon which the position of the House
of Lards with reference to the House of Commons is
founded, that he overshot the wishes end opinions not only
of the Scrim, but probably of the peers themselves, who
must have listened with some dismay to an orator claiming
oa their behalf privileges and immunities which, if they
were the law of the land—as they happily are net—could
not possibly be tolerated, and must be almost the immediate
eaves of proceedings more or lees revolotimary.—Tines.

Priest was passim; through High-street, Chippenham, he
picked up a cheque of the value of 7001. As the owner's

Tic Mennen AT Faoxi.--The remains of the
unfortunate victim were interred on Friday in the family
vault at Brat Coulstoo, by the side of Mr. Hat's former
wife, in which village (samely, at Bayntoe House) the
family tanned, resided. The only reoureen were the father
and youngest son ley the former wife. Nothing could ap-
parently equal the intense° grief manifested by both, Mr.
Rent brag sashed be r. friend from the churchyard to
the coach. The funeral service was performed in • moat
impressive manse by the Rev. E Littlewood, of Edington,
The excitement in the village has increased rather than
abated, and the brassiest and most coutradictory
opinions are freely asserted. We are informed, an
the authority of the Rev. Mr. Peacock, that the
rumour which states that a considerable sum of money
was left by an brother to the demised, is without
tonal:kola ; all the property bequeathed, which was
only 150/., was left by will to the deosasers Wes eider
sisters. A meek ig of the Trowbridge dishist usgiskaiss
has bees held at Tvewbridae to take the mattlset Ws sow
sicterstios, and we bear that the services ara Lavaca do
kctive have been called into requisition. We trust that, ere
our next issue, the actors in this horrid tragedy will be
brought to light—Salisbury Joaraa&
