7HB POLICE COMM

NALNBION-ROUSB.

IVedsriek Sadler was brought up an remand. He was
originally charged, • few days before, with breilig some
windows in the home of Mrs. Park, of 11, Circus-
street, Minories, to whose daughter, it appeared, ha had
bees married for two years, but whose moor: he bad
quickly spent; so that they tad to fall bank on his
mother-In-law for support, and had continued so since •
month after their marriage. When the prisoner was searched
at the station-house several duplicates were found. upon him
to articles belonging to his mother-in-law, and
pis by him without her knowledge or consent; and
although she was anxious not to press any charge on this
aooount,R the Lord Mayor, naturally Indignant at the fellow's
ungr•tdal conduct, refused to part with him without further
inquiry, and be was remanded accordingly.
Mr. C. Kutnpf, chancellor for Mr. J. Rapp, consul-genera
for the Swiss Confederation, now attended to watch the owe,
and expressed acme doubt as to whether the prisoner was •
Swim by birth, as he had represented ; but the prismar being
now questioned on the point, said he was a native of the cen-
tre of Arvin and that he had been in England mince 18.55.
He added that he could prove a good character during the
whole of that period.
Borne silver spoons and other articles were produced by
pawnbrokers as having been pledged by the prisoner, and
wore identified by Mrs. Park ea her property, and as having
bees pledged by the prisoner without her knowledge or con-
sent, although ate said she had missed the articles, and
qetestimed her son-in-law about them, with the intention of
redeeming them if he gave up the tickets, the possession of
which, however, he denied in • very Insulting way.
Mr. Goodman (chief clerk) asked the proaecutrix whether
the prisoner did not, on the monism of his inerrhqge, take
away 601. belonging I. her.
Prosectitrix—They did take 60 sovereigns which he spent
in • month; and once, soon after that, when they were with-
out mosey, he west to his wife's dear, and by his repreass-
tations obtained 161. of her, of which he gave 11. to his wife,
sad visit 141 in dMeipation. I cannot tell you here half of
what he hes done to bring Edney on us both.
Mr. Goodman—And you have maintained them ever dun
ask mactlsge
Proseourix—Very nearly no. Two months ago his wife
was confined, and I found even bee doctor. Nay, I even paid
three doctors, for her We was despaired of, and yet he has
robbed me since. _ _ . _ _

--the prisoner, in reply to the charge, said he believed the
things pledged by him to be the property of hie wife and not
of her mother; an assertion for which Mrs. Park said there
wee not the slightest juitlikatka.
Alderman Anhui' (who eat for the Lord Mayor) mid the
prisoner's conduct had been marked with the blackest Ingrati-
tude. He married the daughter of the presecuttix against
her mother's will ; to • single month he had spent 501. taken
from the home of his wife on the wedding-day, and hot cm-
tent with being a burden apes his mother-in-law, who had
maintained him and his wife for two years, he bad during
the whole of that period Wm robbing her, and had ended by
smashing her windows. For the last offence be must pay 3a.,
the mine of the gime, or go to bard labour for three days •
and for the illegally pawning hire. Parr. property be cons
pay 400. 800, with 21. 2e , the value of the articles pawned, or
go to prison with hard labour for three months.
The primmer, who was without money, was then removed,
his punishment apparently giving great satisfaction to •
crowded court.
