THE POLICE COURTS.

,(TILLS 44. z.

BOW-STREET.
obmth TO NER WI PLAY.
William Richards, a lawyer's clerk, and Anne Richards,
a seamstress, his wife, who refused to state their address,
were charged with stealing, at Drury-lane Theatre, a
cloak, value 20a., the property of Mrs. Harticastle,
a lady residing in Brunswick-place, City-road. In court
they gave the names of John Carter and Mary Carter.
It appeared that police-constable Herrings of the A
division, who wu on duty at the theatre, bad his attention
called to the prisoners by Mr. Isaacs, the superintendent
of the cloak room, who had some suspicion of them.
Shortly afterwards he saw the male prisoner coming out
of the theatre, with the end of a cloak hanging down souse
inches below the skirt of his own coat, beneath which it
was concealed. He followed the prisoner into the street
and asked him what he had got there. He said it was
his wife's cloak. Herringe took it from him and took him
in custody. Presently they met the female prisoner who
said the cloak belonged to her. Herringe asked her to de-
scribe it. Shoo-said it was a black cloth cloak, with a velvet
collar. Inquiry was made at the theatre, and it did not
appear that any such cloak as she described had been found
there.
The female prisoner, being the man's wife, was dis-
charged, and the man remanded.
DIARYLEBONE.
EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF ROBBERY.
Tholl44s Worsley, painter, was charged on remand with
stealing a watch and chain of the value of 271.
Mr. Beard appeared to prosecute, and Mr. Pain defended. &
Mr. Beard, in opening his case, said his client was a at
highly respectable widow lady, named Elizabeth SS
Hunts residing at No. 10, Westbourne-terV.ce North, la
Paddington. On the night of the 26th ultimo, 84.
after she had gone to bed, there was a ring as.
at the bell. She went to the door and inquired who 84.
was there. A gentleman whom she knew answered her, and Bt.
his calling would be explained. It appeared that his client's N.
laundress washed for him, and he called on his way home It
for his linen and flannels. On this occasion he called 84.
and Mrs. Hunt told him he was very late. She went into g
the dining-room and brought out the parcel of at.
washing and put it outside the door. Not hearing her at.
friend she looked out and saw a woman walking away St
with the bundle. She called to her to bring it back. St
She reused, and made use of abusive language. st
At the prusecutrix'a entreaty the prisoner and another man 80
brought her back. The man not in custody and the to
woman entered the front dining-room, where they 100
stood by the folding door. The prisoner entered the back 140
dining-room, which Mrs. Hunt had latterly through ill- 14
ness wade her bedroom. The prisoner went to the mantel- ;
shelf, amt pulling out a pencil and piece of paper, said he qt.
Was a detective, and asked his client for her name and al
address. She told the prisoner she did not believe he was M.
a detective as he was too short, and as regarded her SS-.
name and address that did not matter. She told re.
them they could have something to drink for their tn.
trouble. Prisoner refused and rushed out. The other et.
man had a glass of gin ; they then left the house, at
and directly after they had gone she missed her gold watch at
from the mantel-shelf, where the prisoner had been stand- 16
ing. No one else had near the spot. She afterwards It
saw the prisoner, and gave him into custody.
Witnesses were called in support of the learned gentle- 88,.
man's statement, and prisoner was committed for trial. St.
Ilea was tendered and accepted for him. St.

POLICE NOTIONS OF MATRIMONIAL PRIVILEGE'S.
John Cofian, a tall, powerful young man,was charged le
with being drunk and disorderly. est.
Police-constable 345 B said that last night he heard Is!
a disturbance at a public-house near Coburg-row, and on 10
going there found the defendant and a woman. As witness
approached defendant lashed at the woman, and struck
her in the face. Then he endeavoured again to persuade
the defendant to *o home, but he would not.
Mr. Arnold—Did it not suggest itself to you when you ta
saw this man assault a woman that it was your duty to st,
take him into custody ? SI
Constable—lt was his wife.
Mr. Arnold—His wife? What has that to do with it?
This is an extraordinary police notion. It seems to be 10
supposed that if a woman is married she has a right to ho
Bt
knocked about as long as any brutal husband pleases. It si
was your duty to take this man into custody when 10
you saw him commit an assault in your presence, 41
and to prevent a further breach of the peace. It is most
Si
absurd to suppose that a man has a tight to beat his wife
St
with impunity, rind I am astonished that you should have
11
refrained front doing your duty.
The constable went on to state that, finding he could not 0
get rid of defendant, he locked him up.
Defendant said ho came home, and missing his wife, 1
11
1
went to a public-house, and found her drinking.
Mr. Arnold—l suppose you thought that very bad ?
Defendant—Certainly.
Mr. Arnold—So in order to teach her that she was acting
very improperly you got drunk yourself, and while in that
state considered you were entitled to administer correction
in the shape of a beating.
Defendant—l don't know that I beat her much. 8
Mr. Arnold—Beat her much ! You are fined 405., or
committed for n month, and you will enter into re-
cognisance' to keep the peace to your wife for six months.
WORSHIP-STREET.
CAGED RURGLARS.—A SMART CAPITAL.
John Sweeney, John Green, and William Bloram, each
under N years of age, were charged with feloniously
breaking and entering a counting-house, situate between
Ilaggentone and the Hackney-road, and stealing there-

from.
Buckley and Painter, constables of the N division, while 1
on duty at 3 o'clock in the morning of the girth ult., 1,
observed at the corner of Gloucester-street a light in a i
house on the opposite side, which, as they ap-
proached it, was extinguished. Painter got over
a wall leading to the rear of the premises,
and Buckley went to the street door. Presently there
was heard a rush along the passage of the house, and
attempts were made from within to pull the door open.
Buckley, however, held it closed by the knob, which
afforded a good purchase for one hand, and sprang
his rattle with the other. This brought a third
constable to the spot, who took up Buckley's
position while he went round to assist Painter.
All was then silent, and as the constables approached
each other, one from the front and the other
from the hack, voices from the counting-house were heard
exclaiming, " all light, we won't offer any resistance ;
come in." In they did go, but cautiously, and
there found the three prisoners. Two desks had been broken
open, a large iron safe was partly forced, a case of mathe-
uiatical instruments, several books, and other articles were
placed together, having been taken from the desks,
which, however, yielded no further plunder, and the place
was in the greatest possible confusion. The marks
on the iron safe mentioned exactly fitted the point of a
powerful instrument found near it, and which possibly
might in time have done its work. Entrance had been
effected through the back window on the ground floor.
The prisoners kept their word, made no resistance,
and of course could not offer any defence,
doubtless hoping that they might be dealt with
summarily. but a remand was ordered, and now evidence
was adduced of Sweeney and Green having been sentenced
each to three years' penal servitude, and liberated on tickets-
of-leave. Not any person slept in the house in question,
and the office was occupied by a gentleman named Brown,
who stated that he was engaged during the day in manag-
ing the books for the executors of a Mir. Detterick, lately
deceased.
The prisoners were fully committed for trial.

England, died on Saturday in his 81st year. Daring she
period of the negotiations in connexion with the Act of

vices was recognised alike by the government and the mer-
cantile community.
