joid, Una being spoken to by Young, one of the officers
of to society, the defendant Clark admitted that the

UNFOUNDED CHAIR:Z.
In. Sarah Franks, of 41,. Lower Roamanotrest,
Coksawell, was charged before Mr. Barker, with being
masened with a man not in custod in stealing a silver
wan from the person of Mr. Jose yph Bateman, a grocer,
dt, Charkeatreet, Middlesex Hospital.
Mr. Ricketts, solicitor, of Frederick-sheet,
pa, appeared on behalf of the prisoner.
The evidence of the complainant was to the effect that
between 12 and 1 o'clock in the day he saw a mob assem-
bled in Leather-lane. and on joining it be got mixed in a
mod, the prisoner being in front of him. He had not
ken there long before be felt a twitch at his side, and on
looting down he found that. his watch was gone, and that
lie'watch chain was banging loose outside his pocket.
The prisoner asked if he bad lost his watch, and
bang answered in the affirmative, she pointed to a
sea that wee running away and said that)
puttaps be had stolen it. The prosecutor ran after
the man, but failing to overtake him he returned and met
the prisoner. She asked him if he had got his watch, and,
tie prosecutor said he had not, and that as he had not
Men the man she would do as well. He then detained
her and gave her into the custody of a police constable.
Be was taken to the police-station, but nothing relating
tithe robbery was found on her.
In cross-examination by Mr. Ricketts the complainant
nit that there was such a crowd that he could hardtyrnove
ether his arms or his legs. He did not think of giving the
pawner into custody until he had gone after the man and
bad felled in overtaking him.
Mr. Ricketts said that there was not the slightest cre-
ase for this charge. The prisoner was a respectable mar-
ried woman, and simply because she was standing in the
crowd the prosecutor in the moat reckless manner gave her
into custody on an unfounded charge of felony. He had
several respectable witnesses in attendance to give the pri-
mmer a character.
Mr. Clark, brewer, of Sutton-street, Clerkeawell, and
other tradesmen, gave the prisoner an excellent character
for Moody, kr..
Mr. Barker discharged the prisoner, who left the court
with her friends.

rweezneur.Nr AN I) PORGL'RY.
Alma M'Clellan, aged 29, and lately dwelling at No. 3,
Bedford-street, Stepney, was brought before Mr. Paget
nand with feloniously embenling three sums of 111. 25.,
5.14 m., and 31. lie., which he hod received for and on

ineant of his inasier, Mr. Lewis Cohen, boot and shoe
eanufactorer, of No. 1, Wilson-street, New-road,
Stepney.
Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, stated the ease for the
prosecution. The prisoner was traveller to Mr. Cohen,
isd it was his business to obtain orders and to receive
loonies of his master's customers. The prosecutor had
lately discovered that ll'Clellan was • defaulter to
the amount of about 501., and that he had not
amounted for the receipt of various sums paid by
Mr. Cohen's customers. He also had a charge of forgery
to make. The prisoner received • cheque for 101. from
see tradesman and forged the name of Lewis Cohen, and
obtained cash for it. Mr. Young then produced the
cheque, and the prosecutor said the indorsement Lewis
Colson was a forgery. Three customers proved the pay-
ment to the prisoner of the sums above-mentioned in
August and September, and Mr. Cohen said they had not
been accounted for.
The banker's clerk who paid the cash for the cheque was
not present, and it turned out that the prosecutor could
not read and that his wife made the entries in his books.
11r. Paget again remanded the prisoner for the attend-
ance of Mn. Cohen and the banker's clerk.

A FRIENDLY ARRANGEMENT.—As We intimated
yesterday, Mr. Rolt, 111. P., has been appointed the new
Attorney-General. In the ordinary course Sir William
Bovill, as Solicitor-General, would have been promoted to
the higher office, but Mr. Rolt is greatly hie senior in the
premien, and, had it not been necessary that one of the
livroffiters should belong to the common law bar, would,
no doubt, have been appointed Solicitor-General, instead
of Sir William Bovill, on the formation of Lord Derby's
administration. It was, we believe, quite understood at
that time that in the event of Sir Hugh Cairns vacating
the Attorney-Generalship, as he has now done, Mr. Rolt
would be appointed Attorney-General in his place.—Tines.
MANUFAcYCEE OF CONFECTIONERY. Switzer-
land has long enjoyed the honour of supplying Europe with
confectioners. Even now, and esperaally in the depart-
ments of France, many confectionery establishments,
which are thoroughly national, claim a Helvetic origin,
and yet the confection manufacture of Marseilles exports
sweetmeats to Egypt, Turkey, and the French West
Indies. Its progress has been constant andrapid ; to-
wards the close of the First Empire there were at Mar-
seilles only four of these establishments, turning out
annually confectionery to the value of 37,000 fr. In
1830, that city reckoned 311 manufactories of drops,
bonbons, and jam, the produce of which was estimated at
ne-rly 500,000 fr. In 1840 the number of confectioners
was 39, in 1856, 68, and in the present year it is 116. This
branch of industry has assumed such an importance that
its products are valued at 3,500,000 fr., namely, pastry of
various kinds, 900,000 fr. ; bonbons and other confectionery,
2,800,000 fr. It employs a great number of hands, and the
following are the formidable figures representing the ex-
ports from Marseilles to foreign countries in the
years named 49,462 kilog. ' • 1830, 73,024 ;
1810, 1411,598 ; 1834, 260,712 ; and in 1865, 461,220 Idles.
Daring the last two centuries no personage of distinction
pissed through Marseilles without recerviag the municipal
P an invariable part of which waa, according to the
rank of the person, a certain number of bates
of confectionery. When, in 1777 the Comte de
Provence, afterwards uis xvin., visited Mar-
seilles, the following, according to the Chit/soak/ de
TRW-de-Ville, was the composition of the presents offered
him:-24 bones of confitures glades, cedrat, bergsmote,
orange, athlete, and others, weighing 1181bs. net, at 24
sous equal to 141 fr. 12 sous, 24 boxes of fine somata and
ees, 951 be., at 50 sous, 237 fr. 10 sons ; for the 48 Olt
s at 15 sons, 36fr. ; the total being 415 fr. 2 sous.—
