ROBBERY BY A SOLDIZIL //f THZ TOITZH.
Williams Mould, private in the Grenadier Guards,
quartered in the Tower of London, was brought before
Mr. Woohycb, charged with stealing • gold watch and
chain, value 351., and a 51. Bank of England note, the
money and property of Lieutenant Charles Crichton, and
acting captain of the same regiment.
The prisoner was the servant of the prosecutor, who was
on duty on Monday night in the Bank of England. He
left his gold watch and chain and a 51. note on a table
in his room. On his return from duty at the Bank on
Timidity morning the watch, chain, and note,were missing,
and it was ascertained that the prisoner bad absconded.
Chandler, a constable, 117 H, traced the prisoner to • public-
house, called the Wellington, in Peascod-street, Windsor, .
yeetei . day morning, and said, I want you for stealing Cap- -I-
tain Crichton's watch and a five pound note in the Tower."
The prisoner said, "You have got hold of the wrong man," gs
to which Chandler replied, " No, I have not, and I shall go
search you." He found the prosecutor's watch and chain SO
upon him, and asked him where he obtained it, to 3
which he replied, " I bought the watch in Bir-
mingham." It was now identified by the prosecutor who et.
was asked by the prisoner if he did not bring the watch to gt,
him at the Bank on Monday night, to which he replied in as.
the negative. Chandler also produced 21. Ba., which he IL
found on the prisoner.
Mr. Woolrych said there was no occasion to notice the !It.
charge of desertion. The prisoner would be committed to 86.
Neonate for trial for the felony. et.
WANDSWORTH. HA
HINGULAZ APPLICATION. ec
A gentleman residing at lioehampton applied to Mr. at.
Dayman for a warrant to apprehend • female for commit- es.
tiug forgery. He stated that a courier formerly in the IL
service of his mother, placed the sum of 1001. in his care,
II
while he was travelling abroad. During the time he was lit•
away his wife obtained from applicant the whole amount by tit
forging her husband's signature. When he returned the at
applicant ascertained that be never gave his wife any at,
authority to receive the money. She had run away with ork
applicant's butler who had married her and they were Ht.
actually living at P.oehampton, under his observation. She It
had committed bigamy and trigamy, as he understood that 11,
before marrying the courier she had married or lived with no
another man. Her husband, the courier, was in prison up
for • debt incurred by his wife. le
Mr. Dayman doubted whether he could grant a warrant Ifis
for the forgery unless the applicant could prove that the 9
courier was not her husband. As the case at present stood t
he could not be called as a witness against his wif an d. e, K.
therefore, the applicant would not be able to prove a st,
negative. M.
The applicant stated that she had represented she was 15
not legally married to the courier, as he was a catholic and St.
she was • protestant.
IL
Mr. Dayman did not think that would make the mar-
rime illegal.
The applicant then inquired whether he could take pro- IL
ceedings against her for bigamy,
Mr. Dayman told him that he could, provided he was 10
able to prove the second marriage. IL
The applicant said ha could prove the marri ge with BR
his butler. St.
Mr. Dayman said he would have also to establish the at.

THE APPROACHES TO THE NEW PALACE AT
WESTIII:4I3TER.—The approaches and alterations are rapidly
progressing, and are expected to be completed by the
meeting of parliament. Palace-yard is to be encircled by
an ornamental railing seven feet high. Ample means of
and egress will be afforded for the public and
I:Ai:res. A colonnade is now in course of construction,
in unison with the architecture of the building, by the
side of the Speaker's house, fronting Palace-yard, which
will lead by a subway on to the Thames embankment
at the end of the now existing Manchester-buildings. It
is intended to erect there an hotel by a company, on
the plan of the hotel in Langham-place. Approach-
ing the Houses of Parliament there will be three gate-
ways, where statues will be placed. Two of these en-
trances will lead to the Speaker's Court, and one to the
Clock Tower. Behind the facade now in course of erection
some steps are being placed in order to allow a free pas-
sage from the Speaker's Court into what is called the
" Speaker's Garden," and thence to the " River-stairs."
The whole of Palace-yard is to be levelled ; and in conse-
quence of the Metropolitan Railway coming close to Can-
ning's statue, the statue is to be removed to a vacant
piece of ground by the side of the Westminster Sessions-
house. The statue is considered by many to be one of
Westmecott's beet. These works are being carried out, so
far as the New Palace at Westminster is concerned, by
Mr. Field, the contractor, from the designs of Mr. Edward

Barry.
THE LOCK-OUT IN THE IRON TRAM—NEW
PHASE or THE Disrure.—The iron trade struggle in the
north of England has now lasted since the 14th of July.
Hitherto the men locked out have depended for support
upon the Northern Union of Ironworkers, and have
received no assistance from the Southern Union,
which has its head-quarters at Brierly-bilL When
the masters in the north determined, at the beginning
of July, to give their men notice for a reduction of
wages, intimation of that circumstance was sent to the
masters of the south, but no action was taken out of the
northern district, and the notices were therefore confined
to the north. The men there, so soon as they were served
with the notice, communicated the fact to the men of
the eolith, but the latter did not determine to move in
the matter further than to afford such help as was re-
quired for the support of any of their own members who
might, at that time, happen to be working the north.
Applications for help have, however, continued to be
received from the northern by the southern union, who
are understood to have accumulated funds to the extent of
some 4,0001., and it has at length been resolved that assist-
ance should be afforded. The council of the Brierly Hill
executive have just met, and they have decided that sub-
stantial aid shall be given to the northern association with
s view to this struggle being conducted to an issue satisfac-
tory to the men. It has been determined that 300!. shall
be sent to the north this week, and 2001. a week for the
following five weeks, and even those large contributions
are to be augmented by money from the several districts.
One of these has already passed a resolution ordering the
payment to the north of 10/. a week, and it is anticipated
that the Brierly Hill District Association will at their
next meeting vote 100/. The action that the masters in
the south may now take has yet to transpire. At present
the dispute promises to assume as gigantic proportions as
characterised the one only a year and a half ago.
THE CHOLERA IN DEVONSHIRE.—The cholera
appears to be visiting Devonshire very severely just now.
At Exeter the mortality has been very heavy, amounting
to forty deaths in four weeks is the west district
alone. Hitherto every endeavour has been made to
keep the public in ignorance of the feet ; the Exeter papers
have been silent about it ; the dead buried at night in
a piece of ground specially set apart for the purpose. The
natural result was, says the Western Morning News, that
the most alarming rumours began to prevail ; the funerals
were watched, and their number magnified by report,
and when the registrars attempted to withhold information
the panic increased. At last the board of guardians have
come to the wise resolution of publishing daily returns.
A ward has been reserved for cholera patients in the noble
hospital which Exeter possesses, arid the lady superinten-
dent of the institution for training nurses' and several
members of her staff, have volunteered to look after the
patients. At Brixham the epidemic bas been raging vio-
lently, and upwards of forty deaths have occurred in a
population of 4,400. The load authorities there have
not yet given up the idea of suppressing the facts. The
prevalence of the disease is ascribed in a great measure to
drunkenness.
