From the e% idence of Mr. Robert Griffiths, managing

peared that the prisoner was in their service as traveller
and collector. The prisoner's duty wadi to pay over the
money he collected to witness every night. The pi ironer was
in the employ of the prosecutors up to the 7th of Jauntily,
on which day he absconded, and he was not seen again
until the 14th inst., when he was apprehended iu the
country. The prisoner bad never accounted to him for
the sum of 4f. Ma. received by him on the 7th of
Jafiu.,ry from Mr. John Teasley, of s, Brunswick.place,
Balls-pond, or for many other sums received by him from
other customers.

Police-constable Miller, 148 0, and he apprehended the
prisoner on the night of the 14th inst. at Kingston-on-
Thames. He told him he was going to take him into
custody for embezzling several stuns of money received by
him for Mr. Clarke, his employers. lie said it was a ks..l
job ; he WAS very Sony for it, and he would try and get the
money and :aware it.
Evidence having been given showing the payment of
money to the prisoner for which he had not accounted,
Mr. Weeks said the prisoner would reserve his defence,
but he had to ask that the prisoner might be sent to the
Central Criminal Court for trial, instead of to the Middle-
sett Sessions. _

Mr. Cooke committed the prisoner to the Middlesex
s:ems.ons for trial, and said sufficient reasons had not been
shown to him to send the case to Newgate for trial.

WORSHIP-STREET.
INt MENT IN A BURL LARY.

I.:ft Arnold, 17, and ElLatellg Gdkons, 16, girl. ~f
loo.e character, were charged on remand with being 1:.
poshesi.ion of .2 pieces of table linen and wonting apparel,
together with boots and shoes, reasonably suspected to
Lave been stolen.

loth :soners were in a cab with the property on the
looming of the t•th inst., when it stopped at • house in
Turville-street, Spitalfields. Arnold entered • house
there, and Gully, 84. i If, suspecting all was not correct,
it being then between 5 and I; o'clock, questioned the
girls, who, refusing any information, were taken to the
station-house and charged ; their statement to the magis-
trate was that two wen, whom they did not know, em-
ployed them to hire a cab and convey • bundle from
River-terrace. Islington, to Turrille-street, where they
would meet them.

ltiudiehl badge 14,623, the cab driver, swore that
Arnold did engage him from off the City-road stand, but
denied having seen any man. He said that Gibbous,
whom the other represented as her sister, entered the cab
while going towards River-terrace, got out at Alfred-
street, turned a corner, and was being followed by Arnold,
when she came back with a large bundle, which was placed
in the cab, thegirls directing him to drive to Spitalfieldi..
He knew nothing of them and nothing more than he re-
lated of the circumstance.

The due report of this case brought forward a claimant in
the person of the Rev. Charles Peter McCarthy, clerk in
holy orders,at whose residence,l4,Colebrook-row, otherwise
River-terrace—a burglary of very dazing character and
robbery of above one hundred pounds' worth of plate and
other property was committed, just previously, it would
seem. to the prisoners' apprehension—not any of which
but that in question has been heard of.
The rev. gentleman gave an elaborate and detailed
account of the breaking in as manifested by a
ances shortly afterwards, from which it was evidenttraetaift
least three men had been' engaged in the violence, as an
iron bar crossing one of the doors, which could be re-
moved only by pulling, would require such an amount of
forse to bend it. Entrance was effected at the rear of
the premises, and the basement storey entirely ransacked.
Every precaution appears to have been taken to
avoid the possibility of burglary, and the door leading
into the front kitchen was faced with sheet-iron. The
linen in question had been placed at the bottom of the
kitchen stairs by the servants on the previous night for
reinov.d by the laundress, and the selected boots from a
rack whore there were above 20 pairs, 15 'Airs of which
could nut be found. The thieve appear to have been
disturbed, as one boot was found on the stairs
and another in the garden or yard ; removal was
was doubtless effected over the garden wall of the
adjuking hones, for a wire fencing dividing the two
gardens was torn down, and the plate basket was
lying close by ; the bundle once pushed over the
road-wall would be instantly in the resemaion of the
girls in Alfred-street, as the residence is only one door
round the corner of it. Mr. McCarthy said that he was
awakened early by various strange noises, which he attri-
buted to the gusts of wind. He rang for the servants, who
subsequently apprised him of what bad occurred.
Inspector Wiseman attended to watch the case by direc-
tion of the police commissioners ; and the girls, who cried,
but made neither admission nor defence, were remanded.

MARYLEBONE.
THE CALAMITY IN THE PARK.

A bricklayer's labourer, named John O'Doenel, attended
before Mr. D'Eyncourt, and made the following statement:
He said—On the occasion of the accident he brought out
eight persons alive. The first six, when be got them to
the bank, were hurried away, and he saw no more of them,
as they were taken away by the icemen and others. The
last two he got out were brothers, residing in Randolph-
street, Camden-town, and they had presented him with
half-a-sovereign. When he got them out one was almost
dead.

Mr. d Eyncourt asked what was done under such cir-
cumstances?

Applicant said he ran theta along, and ran them into
a public-house, where ho got half a pint of brandy, and
for which one of them had to leave his scarf-pin in pay-
ment. lie rubbed the ears of the insensible one, and
shook hint, and then took them home in a cab. He hoped,
if this was published the other iii would come forward
and recognise him.
Mr. d'Eynoourt asked if he could swim.

Applicant said he could, well, but there was no chance.
He seized a rope from one of the icemen, and tied it round
his body, and went in.
Mr. d'Eyncourt inquired what made km shake so.
Applicant (who seemed very ill, and shook in every limb)
said he was upon the occasion in his wet clothes for an
hour and a half, and he bad felt numbed and shaken like
this ever since.

Mr. d'Eyncourt said no doubt the Royal Humane Society
would recognise his services.
Applicant mid ho had their paper to fill up, on which
were the names of the brothers. They would give him a
bronze medal, &thing that was of no use, as it would not give
his children victuals. He had been frozen out by the
weather. He had work to go to directly the frost had
gone. He had left borne morning after morning with only
• bit of dry bread and a drop of coffee to seek for a job at
anything. His children bad had to fare the same. When
at Liverpool he saved eleven lives, and then did not ask
for a medal.

Mr. Young, the secretary of the Royal Iluinane Society,
said every ►ttention would be paid to his claim.
Maybank, 270 S, said be saw him in the water.
It may be mentioned, in addition to the above, th►t the
applicant has partly lost the use of his right side through
ins efforts.

Mr. d'Eyncourt granted him two guineas from the poor
box.
