the Trey Mabee. sad the Free Handicap. The weather
was very dull, and aaha fell in drizzling showers during
the afternoon ; nevertheless the attendance was quite as
large as on the cuig day. The Nursery Stakes
brought out the field of runners, and Viriiiiii
moved her quality y winning with comparative ease,
dam* carrying the top weight. The Troy Stakes—one
el the important two-year-old events of the season—was
remarkable for the defeat of the two favourites, Julius
sad Marksman, and the victory of an extreme outsider,
Vauban, the result still further complicating the Derby
form. The race home in the Free Handicap Sweepstakes
between Lecturer and Strathconan was an exciting oae

THE

Dire end Pharos adlliaving been in Gloucaster.creseint oa
the night in ituestien and tlat they were taken into cus-
tody in Eversholtetreet onlbeir way home, and not under
tltYtsimaissinthas deposed to by the defendant and the
other wiestable, Hayes.
'This witness admitted, in cram-examination, that be had
been imprisoned for three weeks for assaulting hasof the
gatekeepers at the Regent's-part.
Three other young mss, named Grover Ostler, and
Wright, were then examined, and their evidence was to
the same effect as that of the previous witnesses.
Mr. John Ivory, a pianoforte maker, at Camden-re town,
deposed that on the day after Pearce and D” we tried
at the Middlesex sessions, he went to Mr. Dolman's AA-
denoe, in Gloucester-ereseent, where the alleged offence
was represented to have been committed, and examined
the windows, and saw some email cute that had evidently
been made by a knife but the knife that was produced at
the trial, which wee Liken from Dye, could not have pro-
duced the marks that he saw on the window.
Mr. F. T. Dolman deposed that he resided at No. 63,
Gloutsester-crament, and on the night in question he went
to bed about half-past 1.1. o'clock, and did not hear any
noise after he got to bed. A little before 5 o'clock on the
I following morning his servant made a communication to
him, and he went down stairs and found the constables
Hayes and Barry and a policeman in uniform, and they
pointed out to him the marks in the window sash. At
this time the window was open. He afterwards saw Mr.
lam., the bat witness, try to open the window from the
outdate, and found that ha was unable to do so. The
height of the wall that Name wee represented to have
jumped over was six feet, but from the condition of
the wall he believed it was placinge for • Tun to
have jumped over the wall by his hands on the top
of it.
Cress-examined—Them were embrasures in the wall, by
which any one could easily climb over it. Ths constables
Barry and Hayes showed him a knife and a chisel that had
been picked up in the area.
Mr. Cooper made an energetic appeal to the jury on
behalf of the defendant, and he said that he believed when
they had beard the evidence be should lay before them
they would be of opinion that there was not the least
evidence to support the charge against him, and that if
any perjury at all had been committed, that
it was those who had got up the present prose-
cution, end had given evidence in support of it, who were
the parties who were really guilty of that offence. The
learned counsel then proceeded to state that in eonse-
quence of several burglaries that had been committed in
the neighbourhood in question, the defendant and the
other constable, Hayes, were specially employed to watch
a portion of the district in plain clothes and he should
show that the attention of Hayes was particularly directed
to the two young/men, Dye and Pewee, whose conduct was
considered suspicions, and Barry was sent for specially
from the police station, to assist him in preventing them
from committing any offence. He said he should prove
that the defendant and his companion had done nothing
more than their duty, and that their statement
that Pearce and the other man had jumped over
the wall, and that the, then and there took
them into custody, was strictly the truth. And
be could not help observing that it appeared to him
that it would be a very dreadful thing indeed if, under such
circumstances, the police, upon whose energy and activity
they all relied for safety while reposing in their hals at
night, should be turned round upon and charged with per-
jury by those whom they had detected in the commission
of a mime. Tbe learned counsel then proceeded to state
that he should show that there was no reasonable doubt
that on this night an attempt wee re..-'y mails to cam a.it
a burglary at the house in question, and that, under all the
facts of the case, there was no ground for the charge
that was made against the defendant, and that he had done
nothing more than his duty in reference to this transaction.
The cage for the defence was then proceeded with.
Mr. Wright, the landlord of the Stationers' Arms, and
one of his barmaids was called to prove that neither Barry
nor Hayes was at his house, as had been represented, on
the night of the 30th of August • and a policeman named
Striven stated that about 12 o'clock on the night of the
alleged burglary he met Pearce and Dye in the neighbour-
hood of the Mornington-road, Rent's-park, and they
passed him in a hurried manner. Very soon afterwards
the policeman Hayes came to him, and in consequence of
something he told him the witness went to the police-
station and told Barry that he was wanted by Hayes, and
he went away and joined him. On the following morning
he saw Pearce and Dye in custody at the police-station.
Mr. Clement Davy said that he was in Parketreet, Re-
gent's-park, about a quarter past 1 o'clock on the morning
of the 31st of August, and he met four persons, all of
whom were dressed in plain clothes. The defendant
Barry and Hayes were two of the person he saw, and they
seemed to have hold of the other two. 'The witness then
picked out from a number of persona in the court the young
man Dye, and he pointed to another as being like the other
man he SAW in custody.
Mr. Sleigh said that this was the clerk to the solicitor
for the prosecution. (A laugh.)
The witness said he only saw the back of this man, and
therefore he was not so well able to identify him.
Cross-examined--All the parties were strangers to him.
He was a French polisher by trade, and he occasionally
played the banjo at public-houses for the benefit of
friendly societies. It wu quite by accident that he was
summoned as a witness, and it was owing to his having
stated that it was a great shame that these young men
should have sworn against the police as they had done.
He was in attendance for two days at the Marylebone
police-court, but was not called as a witness. He was
quite sure that the boy he bad just identified bad not
been pointed out to him outside the court yesterday.
Mr. E. C. Davis deposed that he was a surveyor, and
resided near Wantage, in Berkshire. On the night of the
30th of August, about half-past 1 o'clock, be was going
towards Kentish Town. where he then resided, and in the
Mornington-road he met Hayes, who he knew was a con-
stable, and Barry, with two persons in their custody.
They were coming in a direction from Gloucester-crescent
to the police-station in Albany-street. Witness afterwards
read an account of the trial of the two men, Pearce and
Dye, at the Middlesex sessions, and in consequence of
what was stated on it he communicated with the police.
Cross-examined—Witness had come from the Portland-
road station by the Underground Railway, and he should
say that it was about half-past 1 o'clock when he saw the
four men. Witness had lived in the neighbourhood of the
Regent's-park for a considerable time, and knew a good
many of the police. He had become acquainted with
them through having been employed by the government as
a surveyor. The witness explained that he was employed
by the government as a surveyor, and to make plans in
the Acton murder case, and that was bow he became
acquainted with the police.
Sergeant Randall, who was on duty at the police-sta-
tion, proved that when Pearce and Dye were brought in
the charge was read out to them, and they must have
heard it. He believed that Dye said, in reply, that
they were not there, and Pearce said, " No, in Ever-
sholt-street."
William Pearce, a constable, proved that when the two
young men were brought to the police-station, Hayes had
a knife in his hand, and he said he had picked it up in the
garden of the house in Gloucester-creacent. Dye claimed
the knife as his, and he made no reply to the statement of
Hayes. This witness also stated that he did not are the girl
Glue at he police-station, and if she bad wished to come
in, there would have been no objection to her doing so.
Rowland, another police sergeant, who suc-
ceeded the previous witness at the station, said that he
added the words " with intent to commit burglary" to the
charge, and read it over to the prisoners Pearce and Dye,
and they made no answer.
Several other constables were then called to prove that
they met the constables coming in a direction from Glouees-
ter-crescent with the young men, Pearce and Dye, in
their custody. In answer to a question put by he Re-
corder, one of the witnesses said that all the constables
upon the beat were called upon to make a report of what
they knew about the transaction. The whole of these wit-
nesses stated that the prisoners were not followed to the
police station by the girl Glue. Evidence was also ad-
duced to show that neither the constables Berry or Hayes,
or the young men Pearce or Dye, were seennear Eversholt.
street at the time that the latter represented that they
were taken into custody at that place.
The other defendant, Matthew Hayes, was next exa-
mined, and he repeated his former evidence, and persisted
in the statement be had originally made, that he and
Berry were induced to watch Pearce and Dye in conse-
quence of their suspicious conduct, and that they were
apprehended while in the act of endeavouring to make
their escape from the garden of Mr. Dolman. He also
stated that he picked up the open knife in the garden, and
he carried it to the police-station open as he found it, and he
swore positively that he was not in Eversholt-street at all
on that night.
In cross-examination this witness said that be had been
three years in the police, and before that be was engaged as
clerk at a wharf in Thames-street, and he resigned his last
situation on account of a dispute with the manager. He was
not dismissed for drunkenness. While he was employed at
another wharf there was a complaint of the loss of five
bales of bacon, but witness knew nothing whatever about
it. He was not dismissed, but he was suspended, and he
Was not reinstated in his situation. For three moeths be
had no settled employment. Since be had been in the
police he had been reported three times, twice for not
working his beat quickly enough, and once for being in a
house when be was on duty. He received the expenses of
the witnesses at the trial at the Middlesex Sessions, and
WAS paid • guinea for one of them for six days' attendance,
and be only gave her 10e. 6d. for three days' attendance.
The reason for this was that he made a mistake.
Mr. Sleigh had applied to have him committed for
perjery, and he was so flurried that he hardly
knew what he did, or bow be divided the money. The
moment he discovered the mistake be mentioned it to Mr.
Thompson, the inspector. He would swear that be was
not aware that Mr. Lewis, the solicitor for the prosecu-
tion, had discovered that he had only paid the witness
half a guinea instead of a guinea before he said a word
about the matter.
In re-examination the witness said that he was never
charged with stealing the bacon that bad been alluded to.
This closed the case for the defence, and it being nine
o'clock, the further proceedings were adjourned until this
(Friday) morning, at half-past ten.
'The defendants were allowed to go out upon the USIA
bail as that under which had sarlosed to take
their WA. .

and signed the sheet, but was not here now. Witness was
walking along the Horsefarry-road, Westminster, and saw
complement and defendant advancing in different direc-
tions, and the defendant Joseph knocked her down without
the slightest provocation. Witness took him into custody,
when William two pr three times came between them, and

tried to rescue him.
William Barrow, 285 B, confirmed the account of both
assaults committed by Joseph.
In defence it was urged that Joseph had got drunk at
the Regent Musio-ball in Westminster, and did not know
what he was about ; that he was a sailor, who should have
gone aboard ship that morning, and that William had not
tr.ed to rescue him.
A witness was called to the latter statement.
Mr. Arnold—lt is abominable that a respectable woman
while walking along quietly is to be attacked and knocked

down in this way.
Defendant Joseph—l shall lose my ship unless I can jet
it immediately.
Mr. Arnold—l am sorry for that. I cannot help it. I
am bound to protect the public.

About a week ago Thomas Hammond, an intelligent boy,
12 years of age, poorly clad, was brought tel
Mr. b,

of a tender age found wandering the streets in a destitute
condition. The lad then informed his hip that his
father was in Australia, sad his mother bad deserted him
in Cornwall, and that be bad been in the Bodmin Union.
He further said that he lett the latter place three months
ago and tramped his way up to London, thinking he might
get something to do. Ile had wandered the streets night
and day, and when the policeman found him he bad bad no
food, and was nearly starving. Mr. Burnham, after testing
the truth of the lad's statement, at the suggestion of Mr.
Safford, the chief clerk, sent him to the Refuge for Desti-
tute Boys, Commercial-street, Whitechapel, with a dona-
tion of 51., requesting the lad's reception, which was
acquiesced in, sad there the matter was euppomid to
rest, the magistrate believing that the boy had found a
comfortable home. However, Mr. Safford, the thief clerk,
hail eiiiee received a communication to the effect that the
oauaccra could II r. keep the lad, inesuluch as it was a cha-
r,tdde institution, supported by voluntary contributions,
and hot certified by the government for the reception of
such lads under the act of parliament.
Yztnrany ufternonn Mr. Davis, the governor of the
Refu,,-e, attended bctore Mr. Buisham to explain the cir-
cumstances. He said that, so far as be was concerned he
was quite willing that the lad should remain with him, as
be believed his story to be quite true ; but since kis romp-
tiou a meeting of the committee had been held, and after
oonsidnable discussion it was found that under their rules
they could not keep him, u the institution was not pro-
vided for under the Industrial Schools Act, and not (wailed
by the government.
Mr. Borchelt: regretted to hear that, and informed Mr.
Davis that unfortunately there was no such an industeial
school in the county of Surrey to send the poor lad to.
Mr. Davis observed that there were only two properly
certified in the whole of the metropolis—one the Boys'
Home, Regent's-park-road, and the other the East London
Shoeblack Refuge, in Mansell-street, Whitechapel. Most
likely one of these would receive the lad.
Mr. Bur ham told him that those institutions were in
the county of Middlesex, and they declined receiving desti-
tute lads from thsicounty of Surrey, unless some contribu-
tions were made towards their support, which the melris:
trates of this district were unfurnished with. The lad
who was now the subject of their observations wan really a
fit object for admission into anindustrial school, and he had
tried to get him into several that abounded on the Middle-
sex aide of the river, but they required more money than
the magistrates at this court had the power to contribute.
He thought that in such an extensive, rich, and influential
county as the county of Surrey such schools ought to
have been established long ago, as be considered that it
was more important to prevent crime than to detect
the thief. He also was of opinion that industrial schools
were preferable to reformatories. Unfortunately
there were no industrial schools in this county to enable
magistrates to commit destitute lads to ; therefore, in most
cases, the magistrates in this district had no alternative
but to send them into the world again, soon to come before
them in the character of criminals. The magistrates of the
county of Surrey were a powerful body, and he regretted
that ere this they had not established industrial schools
under the act of parliament for the reception of the
numerous destitutelads found by the police. He really
did not know what to do with this poor boy, and be did
not like to send him adrift again.
Mr. Davis informed his worship that the boy was still
in their institution, and he would keep him tuitil something
could be done for him.
Mr. Burnham thanked Mr. Davis for his kindness, and
the latter left the court.
