a document purporting to be a chawikfl- 101., drawn in
Paris, apparently in the name of `•G • ," and payable
to John Lee, at the Unica Bank, 'noes-street. The
officer remarked upon the singularity of the fact that the
prisoner did not sees to know where the Union Bank was,
as well as of his having twice entered that beak, as

given was correct, as the prisoner bad occupied a room at

4e. 6d. a week, but on searching the plain nothing was found
to indicate that he was an artist as he described himself, or
Indeed that he followed any regular pursuit whatever.

Mr. auk (Claik and Morriss, Idoorgateatreet) appeared
for the prosecution.
It was sho.rn that the prisoner had been in the service of

the habit of going to the tank almost daily to get their
cheques fished ; that a cheque for 384/. was paid to him
over the counter on the 17th March, purporting to be signed
by them ; that the signature wee • forgery, and had, in the
opinion of one of the firm, been written by the prisoner ;

BOW-MEET.

An athletic Irishman, standing upwards of eix feet high,
who rid that his name was Patrick Maker, and that he
was a parlor, was charged with being drunk and assaulting
Idajor•Gewnd Grant, at Charing-cram on Saturday after-
noon, at about two o'clock.
The complainant said that at the time stated ho was going
to the United Service Institution, in Scotland-yard, when
he saw the prisoner at Charing-crosa, drunk, and creating a
disturbance. He took no runic*, but 9nietly mooed by.
The prisoner, however, made a rush at him' seised_ his um-
brella, and attempted to wrest it from him. He got it
away from the prisoner, and spin moved on. The prisoner
epee more followed UM, and aimed a terrific blow at him,
which, had taken effect, must have foiled him to the
ground ; bit a gentleman who was passing by interposed,
warded the blow off from him, and seized the PlmoW,
wham he detained till a policeman came up and took him
lab esoledp.
Mr. J. F. Rowland, the gentleman referred to, pre

Pahewi:andisrir, A iiii;took the prisoner into custody.
Ho was drank.

I"liapriscaer admitted that he was drunk, and said be
was very sorry for what be had dune.
Itsiarassral Grant begged the magistrate to deal with
the excess hisivitly as possible.
Mr. Homy, after gravely remonstrating with the pri-
soner upon his disorderly and violent behaviour said be
would yield to Major-General Grant's interoemsion, and
impose only a fine of 10a, or, in default, seven days'
imprisonment. But if be ever again committed himself in
a similar manner he would certainly be dealt with much
more severely.
Mr. Beery has received the first half of a 5/. note for
the poor-box from " E.R.," who requested an acknowledg-
ment in the Daily Nero.
LAMBETH.

Vim Harriet Mare Filika;t:ik; wife of a gentleman in
business in the City, was charged with stealing from a stand
in the Crystal Palace, and during the " Fancy fair," an
embroidered toilet and a pair of mittens, of the value of
10s. Gd., the property of Lady Emily Peel.
Mr. Lewis attended for the prisoner.
Sergeant Robert Bell, 39 P, deposed that = Saturday
last he was on duty in plain clothes at the Crystal Aiwa
sad at about a quarter to 4 he observed the go up
to a stand kept by Lady Emily Peel, push a trwslrio was
present on one side, unpin an embroidered toilet, and con-
ceal it under her dress or shawl, and walk away shoot a
doses yards, when she returned to Lady Peel's stand
again, and took from it the pair of gloves which, with the
embroidery, he produced. She put the gloves in the front
of her dress also, and was walking towards the orchestra when
she drew a piece of =per from her reticule hag, and folding
the articles she had taken in it placed them in the bag. He
then went up to her, and asked her what she had got in her
retinal., and she replied, " What I have got there is my
own property." Hs observed "It can't be your own property;
I saw you take it from a stand. I am ase tof police,
and you must consider yourself in my y." She said,
"ForOod'a sake don't take me! I will pay any amount forthe
articles. If you don't take me I'll tell you the truth. I
lit them in the bazaar." He asked her to go back, when
she of him not to take her, and then said she hail
picked up the things at a place she pointed out, and which
was about forty or fifty yards from lady Peel's stall He
(Bell) told her this was inipossible, as he had seen her take
, them from Lady Peel's stall. Upon which she exclaimed,
1660 h my God, what shall Ido I'll pay any amount of
money rather than go to the station. I will leave my, gold
watch and chain with you for the worth of the articles." He
told her he could nut take anything, but must take her to
the station, which ho did, and subsequently took the
articles to the stand of Lady Peel, who identified them.
Mr. Lewis, in addressing the court on behalf of his client,
said he had in attendance persons of the highest position to
speak to the hitherto irreproachable characiar of the lady
at the bar, who asaureil hire that she was placed there most
unjustly. She solemnly declared she had picked the things
up and inadvertently placed them in her beg ; but he
trusted his worship would take a liberal view of the set,
sad not deem it necessary that the case should be sent for
farther investigation.
Mr. Elliott, however, observed that it was a case that,
however respectable the position of the party, must go for
trial. He then remanded the prisoner, but accepted bail,
two sureties in 6(k11. each, for her attendance on a fu-
ture day.
