On the 14th inst. the two prisoners came into his
roan: and ordered some half-and-half. Lock produced
the cheque for 1?./. 10s. on the London and County Bank.

keep a banking account, but he would try and get it
cashed for him. He got it cashed, and gave Lock the
change. They then had some rum, and Lock appeared to
Pro something to Anson. Anson said nothing. Lock sub-
sequently
said in Anson's presence that he got the cheque
from him (Anson) who had picked it up in Austinfriara.

prisoner went to his house on the 14th inst., and while
Anson was in the tap-room Look came to him and asked
ms to cash the cheque in question. He said he got it

were both going out together, be cautioned them that if
they went to any public-house to get it changed they would
get themselves into trouble.

Raw Ferns throw stones at both the Athena= acid-
United Service, Clubs.
Ferris—Thefjnith concocted their evidence outside. Its
no use crow-examining 'em. Of course they will Mick to
their story.
Mr. John Smithers, steward of the United Service Club,
said he was in the ceffes-rocee about half-past 9, and heard
a row outside. One of the windows was broken by a hur
I stone, which fell into the area below. Could not see who
throw the stone. The glass wss very thick.
Prisoner said there wes not such a stone in the road.
Inspector West said time were plenty, one of the road-
ways having been lately repaired in the district.
Mr. It. T. Peters proved that windows were broken in
the writing and morning rooms of the Athenaeum Club,
and he produced a Mose, which the servants of the club
picked up in one of the mans this morning. Ile deposed
to the amount of damage.
Mr. Flowers did not think the worse of a person because
he was ill-dressed, and it was impossible to believe that
any honest man, however poor, would wantonly break
windows. It could only injure them without damaging
the clubs, the windows bong usually insured. It appeared
to be simply a love of mischief, and idle boys were always
reedy to follow a bad example. The polies could have no
motive in • • them oat, and believing the evidence,
