MANSION-HOUSE.
Two young men, named George Adams and William
Lennard, were brought before Alderman Finnic, who pre-
sided in the abaenoe of the Lord Mayor, charged with •
burglary in the dwelling-house of Messrs. Earl and Ream-
beam, and stealing a large quantity of wearing apparel,
the property of 111601111 persons.
The facts of the case were somewhat singular. It
appeared that the premises in question are let out as
offices, and are in the charge of a housekeeper who sleeps
there at night, and who fastened up the house, as she
thought securely, on Friday night. About 4 o'clock on
Saturday morning a City police constable, named
was on duty in St. Mary-axe, when be heard a sound in
No. 10, Bury-court, the place in question, like the drawing
of a bolt. He watched for a short time, and he then maw
the prisoners come out of the house, looking very bulky,
and wearing white aprons, such as are used workmen,
and Adams was carrying a bundle. He asked them
where they were going, and they said they were going to
work. He inquired of Adams what he had got
in his bundle, and he at the saw time felt it, and
found that it contained some metal articles. He then laid
hold of Adams, and the other prisoner ran away. Upon
getting to the police station, Adams was searched, and he
wee found to be literally swathed in different articles of
dress, such as women's gowns, sheet,, handkerchiefs, and
similar articles, which made him nearly double his ordi-
nary size, and it appeared that he had left his old clothes
behind, and had put on a suit of clothes that he found in
the house ; he had also put on a good pair of boots, and
left his old pair in the kitchen. The prisoner Lenard
was stopped by another constable, and as he was taking
him to the police station he told him that he would find a
door open in Bury-court, and as they were going by a
wall he threw something over it, exclaiming, " That's
gone," and upon a search being made at the spot,
there was found a life-preserver. When this pri-
soner was searched, he was also found to have
on a quantity of wearing apparel that had been stolen
from the house in Bury-eourt, and he also seemed to have
taken off his own clothes and left them behind, substi-
tuting for them articles found in the different offices.
Upon the premises being examined, after the prisoners bad
been locked up, it was found that an entraaoe had been
effected by opening a window at the back, and that several
of the offices had been ransacked and a considerable quan-
tity of property stolen. A portion of the articles found on
the persons of the prisoners was identified by the per-
sons to whom they belonged.
The prisoners, who stated that they bad no fixed re.sl-
- and who made no answer to the charge, were
remanded.'
A respectable-looking young man was charged with felo-
niously uttering storied order for the delivery of 101 b. of
what is called raven silk, and worth 15L, with intent to
defraud Messrs. Skarrard and Co., warehousemen, carry-
ing on business in Bread-street, Cheapside.
This case presented a novel and very ingenious system of
fraud, and the wholesale houses in the City will do well to
be on their guard against it. It appeared that on Friday
afternoon the prisoner went to the warehouse of the pro-
secutors and presented an order purporting to come from
Messrs. Dibbin and Co., warehousemen, 91 and 92, St.
John-street-road, for 101bs. of Rouen silk. The order was
written on an apparently genuine printed billhead of the
firm mentioned, and the order would have been executed
if the warehouseman to whom it was presented had not
discovered that it was not signed. He told the prisoner
that he would send his porter with the goods to Messrs.
Dibbin, but the prisoner said this was not necessary, as he
had to meet a person from that firm at the Peet-office,
who would take the goods. No such person
could be found, and the porter accompanied the
pris
~oner to Mesas. Dibbin's establishment, and they
a. Limed all knowledge of the order or of the prisoner,
and said that the former was a forgery, and only a
colourable imitation of their genuine Unmade. The
version given by the prisoner of the matter was that he
had merely been employed to take the order to the ware-
house, and was to receive Is. Gd. for doing so from a gen-
tleman who had just given him the job at the Talbot, in
the Gray's-inn-road, and who was to have met him and re-
ceived the goods, after he obtained them, at the Post-office
and from the inquiries made by the police there appeared
to be some grounds for believing that the statement of
the prisoner was true, and that he had been made the dupe
of some designing person. The forged order and the
genuine billheads of Messrs. Dibbin were produced, and
shown to the magistrate, and they were evidently so much
alike as to be well calculated to deceive the persons to
whom they were presented.
In answer to a question put by the alderman,
The foreman of Messrs. Dibbin stated that they had not
yet discovered that the forged billheads had been used to
any other firms, but if time was allowed he had no doubt
that some other cases would be brought forward.
The case was remanded for a week, but under the cir-
cumstances the prisoner, who declared that he was en-
tirely innocent, was admitted to bail.

James Jordan, surveyor to the Victoria-street Improve-
ment Commissioners, was summoned for a bastard
the paternity of which was denied.
Sarah Crossley, the niece and servant of Mr. Jordan,
said she bad lived in her uncle's house for a year and nine
months. She went into the details of an improper inti-
macy which she alleged to have taken place between her
and the defendant ; but being unprepared with cor-
roborative evidence she was told that she might call
the defendant himself. The girl, however, said she did
not think that would be of much use, as he did not be-
lieve in God. _ . . . . . .

—...—
Mr. Jordan then ennui forward to be examined, but
upon being asked whether the complainant's statement
was correct as to his religious opinions, he said that if he
kissed the book he should feel bound to speak the truth •
but he did not believe in the doctrine of future rewards
and punishments according to the sense in which men
ordinarily understood it. He did not believe he should
be punished in a future state if he did not speak the
truth. . . .

Mr. Self° declined to administer the oath to a man
entertaining uch opinions, and his evidence was not re-

—..—
The applicant was told that if she could produce other
evidence she might have another summons gratuitously.

MARYLEBONE.

Henry Amadei', of 126, Kentish-town-road, was sum-
moned for detaining a dog claimed by Aired Taylor.
The complainant about 12 monthaago missed his dog, and
claimed the one now in dispute. He had had it in his
possession for more than six years. Amsden said that
could not be, as it was not more than three years old.
He had been summoned for detaining the dog. That was
wrong, inasmuch as be never tied the dog up, but allowed
it liberty to go in and out as it pleased. It came into his
place about nine months ago, and he had let it remain ever
since. He would soon convince the magistrate to whom
the dog belonged.
A small shaggy dog was then brought into court and
immediately ran up to defendant. He was then placed
on the table, when defendant said, " Up, Daddy !" The
dog immediately stood up on his hind legs.
Defendant—Now, then, beg for your' toke."
The dog, amidst loud laughter, commenced pawing
with its fore feet.

Defendant—Poor old Daddy (the dog gave three or four
barks). Now, to whom does he belong? Let complainant
call him.
Complainant called him " Jack," but the dog seemed
not to know the name.

Complainant called several witnesses in support of his
case, and they all swore positively as to the dog having
been formerly in his possession.
Mr. Mansfield considered the dog belonged to complain-
ant, and ordered defendant to give it up, or else pay 54.,
the value, and 3. costs.
Amaden's friends would not pert with " Rind Old
Daddy," and so the money was paid, and the dog was led
away in triumph.
