POC[R•?ICLIAO IN PALL-MALL.

G.orje Hoatnrd,; 03;;;TeLui;;;d;tinite occupation,
was chareed with picking the pocket of the Right Hon.
Janie*, Marquis of Salisbury.
The complainant deposed that he was walking along
Parnell on Thursday afternoon, when he found a number
of persons close at his heels. He looked round and saw the
prisoner in the act of drawing a silk handkerchief from his
Ithe marquis's) pocket, and placing it in his own breast.
The prisoner then started off, and an alarm being mired,
several persons went in pursuit of him, and he was even-
tually captured by a policeman with the property in hie
possession. The handkerchief was worth about 2s. tld.
Police-constable Houghton, A 195, said he heard the cry
of "Stop thief," and seeing the prisoner running, started
off after him. On being overtaken and captured the pri-
soner said, "Here it is," at the same time pulling the hand-
kerchief from his breast and handing it to witness.
Edwin Sam, of 33. Donetstreet, Portman-square, wit-
neared the robbery, and kept his eye on the thief till he was
amirehended.
In reply to the magistrate, the police expressed their
opinion that the prisoner was au old offender, and time was
required to get particulars.
The case was therefore remanded, the marquis, however,
being bound over to pis:recut' at the making.
