CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(Before the DeputyMeoorder.)
George Bozoll, 31, demeibed as a clerk, pleaded guilty to
an indictment charging him with stealing a post letter coe-
Wining a bank bill for 1864 He was also charged with
forging an endorsement to the bill that had been stolen.
The fasts of this ewe will be fresh in the recollection
of the public. The prisoner was a oonstelle stationed at
Usk, in Monmouthshire, and it was pert of his duty to go
to the post-office at that place to receive the letters for the
patios. A letter had been sent to a solicitor at Uskorhich
emlosed the bank bill in question, and the prisoner con-
trived to obtain possiesion of this letter, and to abstract
the bill, and the letter was then sent to its destination. The
prisoner subsequently proceeded to London, where be
obtained cash for the bill, and he appeared to have opened
an /MOW, at a bank in Arundel, in Sussex, with part.of
the proceeds. There were two other charges against the
primmer of stealing letters containing valuable property
under similar circumstances.
_ . . .

The leputyiuoorder, after having commented upon
the serious nature d the offences committed by the pri-
soner, and observing that they were very much aggravated '
by the fact of his being • policeman, whose duty it was to
prevent the commission of crime, and to protect the public
from depredations of this description, sentenced him to
be kept in penal servitude for seven years.
Willies Henry Laurence 2`reen, 28, described as • clerk,
pleaded guilty to a charge of uttering a forged cheque ter
1501. purporting to be signed by Dr. Temple, the head
muter of Rugby school.
Upon the application of Mr. Cooper, who appeared for
the prisoner, judgment was respited to the next union.
John Loosanore, 29, pleaded guilty to • charge of
stealing • bill of exchange for 2,5001., the property of
I Messrs. Delay and Isnard, merchants, carrying on bold-
ness in Grauchurch-street.
Mr. Daly, who with Mr. Streigbt was instructed to
prosecute, recommended the prisoner to mercy under the
instructions of the prosecutors.
He was sentenced to 18 months' bard labour.

Yolnl3;;;iieeltes,; person of gentlemanly ,
surrendered to take his trial upon the clams of stealing
a bill of exchange for 301., the property of Oforlas Batty.
Mr. Metcalfe prosecuted ; Mr. Bibton and Mr. Bailey
appeared for the defence.
The facts of this ease have appeared very recently in the
polies reports. The prisoner was an attorney, and he had
bad some business transactions with the prosecutor, who
upon one oocasias gave him a bill for 301. to gekliactiunted
for him, and as he alleged, the prisoner appropriated this
bill to his own use, and he was unable to obtain the pro-
ceeds. it appeared,lhowever, that the prisoner himself was
the drawer of the bill, and that he had endorsed it, and
there was a good deal of complication in connexion with
the transaction.

—Thesapitillecorder held that there was no evide•ce to
ito to the jury in support of the charge of felony, and the
jury therefore, under his lordship's direction, returned a
verdict of Not Guilty.
James Moor,lB, • respectable-looking lad, was charged
with uttering a cheque for 2001., with intent to defraud
the Union Bank of London.
He was found Guilty, and sentenced to twelve months hard
labour.

THE SATURDAY HALF-HOLIDAY MOVEMENT.—A
densely crowded meeting of the operative ocachnisliers of
London was held in St. Martin's-hall last evening, to pro-
mote the Saturday half-holiday movement among the
members of the trade. The Earl of Shaftesbury presided.
Mr. Swank., Secretary to the London Ooachmakere'
Society, read a statement, from which it appeared that the
tea societies connect.l with the trade in London, memo-
rialised the employers to the number of 270 in favour of
the movement. Of the latter, 13 approved of giving the
half-holiday, 5 disapproved, end 3 were willing to
Kroll to it if the other employers adopted it. From
249 employers no reply had been received. Many of
the leading firms had, however, acceded to the wishes of
their men. The noble chairman said he entered heart and
soul into the feelings of the meeting. The question of the
half-holiday was beyond all dispute, because all the moral,
physical, intelleetual, and epiritiud advantages ocaneeted
with it were not to be called in question. Why
should not the operative ooachmakers be admitted
to the enjoyment of the Saturday half-holiday? He
thought when they mentioned 4 o'clock that their roguet
was exceedingly modest, because he felt their work
should terminate about two o'clock. The hours given
for recreation would not be abused, and be felt certain the
employers would not refuse the boon that was sated. Mr.
Ahem moved, Mr. Walker seconded, and it was agreed`
" That this meeting views with satisfaction the growing
adoption of the Saturday half-holiday in the manufacturing
and other establishments in London, es an illudration of he
compatibility for busbies., end tending to improve the good
feeling of the men towards the meters." Mr. Reevey
moved a resolution to the effect that the men in each shop
in London should memorialise their respective meaters to
dose their establishments at 4 o'clock oa Saturday next, the
3rd of Mamh, and that the delegates report to the tooled..
the result on the following Monday, to enable them to set
so se to realise their expectations. Mr. Court seconded the
resolution, which passed. Other speakers addressed the
meeting,o and a vote of thanks to the chairman closed the
ay.
