OXFORD, SIPT. 18.

Couxos. —lntelligence has been re-
ceived at Oxford of the death of the Rev. James Riddell,
M.A., fellow and tutor of Balliol College, who expired at
Tunbridge-wells on Friday, the 14th inst., from nervous
prostration brought on by an affection of the throat. Mr.
Riddell was one of a brilliant line of scholars educated at
iiihrwebury School. At an early age be obtained a scholar-
ship at Balliol, and was afterwards placed in the first class
in amigos and the third in mathematics in the year 1845.
In due course he succeeded to a fellowship, and for many
years acted as tutor of his college. In 1856-9 he Ina ap
pointed public examiner in the final eluded school. In
1882 he served the °Moe of proctor, in conjunction with
the Rey. T. Fowler, of Lincoln College, and at the time of
his death he was a classical moderator. He was distin-
guished in the university for sound and elegant scholar-
ship, and was a prominent member of the high church
party, and his low is sincerely deplored by a large circle of
friends and pupils, to whom his strict wage of duty and
=lir kindness at heart had made him universally be-

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(Before the Common Serleant.)

John Dewar, 30, was indicted for forging a re:slew:sr
3/. 16a, with latent to defraud the Florence
Machine Company.
Mr. Grain prosecuted, and the prisoner was defended by
Mr. Ribton.
The prosecutors constitute an American company, whisk
has established • branch business in Cheapside, and the
prisoner was in their service as clerk and collector. While
so employed it appeared that be bad paid the sum of
21. 184. to the Noroonformist newspaper for advertise-
ments, and the allegation on the part of the prosecution
was that be had fraudulently altered the 2 into a 3, and
had thus defrauded them of one pound. The case was
clearly established by the evidence.
The jar, found the prisoner Guilty.
There were other indictments against the prisoner for
embezzlement, but they were not proceeded with.
He was sentenced to eighteen months' hard labour.
George Riddle, 38, and George Robert Bred,ford, 32,
pleaded guilty to inkctmenta charging them with having.
while engaged as post-off ce letter carriers, feloniously
stolen certain letters that had been entrusted to them for
delivery, the same being the property of the Postmaster-
Gene.
The prisoner Bradford addressed the court, and said
that he was only employed as an auxiliary letter earner,
for which he received. 14s. a week as wages from the Pon :
Po-
office. All his children bad been attacked by fever and
small pox, and his wife was about to lie in, and distress
had driven him to commit the offence. He added that
when he first went into the service of the Post-office, he
had only 9. a week.
Mr. Metcalfe said he thought it right to state that
persons who were employed as auxiliary letter canine,
were required by the Post-office regulations to have some
occupation in addition, or they were rot taken into the
service. He had also to inform the court that this class
of letter carriers was only employed two or three hours •
day.
The Common-Serjeant said that although it was painful
for him to do so, he did not feel that he was justified in
departing from the rule that had been laid down by the
judges with regard to the sentences to be inflicted in these
cases, and which was invariably acted upon. He then
sentenced both prisoners to be kept in penal servitude for
five years.
The grand jury returned several true bills against Wit-
tiara Charles Hadden, for embezzlement.
It will be remembered that the prisoner was the
manager of the London business of Messrs. Rueselland Co.
tube manufacturers at Wedneabury in Staffordshire, and
that the amount of his defalcations was represented to be
over 10,000/.
Mr. Straight applied on the part of the prisoner
for the postponement of the trial to the next session, and
as no opposition was offered on the part of Mr. Metcalfe
who was instructed to prosecute, the application for a
postponement was granted.
Thomas William Oasder, 19, pleaded guilty to • charge
of uttering a forged cheque for 1481. upon the Islington
branch of the London and County Bank.
Mr. G. S. Griffiths appeared for the prisoner.
Mr. Sleigh waa instructed to prosecute, and from a state-
ment made by him it appeared that the prisoner was in
the service of • gentleman named Johnson, who kept an
account at the London and County Bank. He managed
to obtain possession of several blank cheques, one of which
was filled up for 145!., but the forgery was so manifest,
that payment was refused. There was reason to believe
that another older boy than the prisoner, who had ab-
sconded, and was gone to America, had led him into the
commission of the offence.
The prisoner was sentenced to twelve months' bard
labour.

Thomas Shea, 17, who pleaded guilty, was charged with
'stealing a oarpet bag, the property of Thomas Gardiner,
and George Emus, 35, and Louisa Evans, 38, were charged
with feloniously receiving the property knowing it to have
been stolen. _ _ _ _ _ .

Mr. 'Alley prosecuted. Mr. Oppenheim and Mr. Clarke
were counsel far the receiver%

The circumstances under which this charge was preferred
against the prisoners will be fresh in the recollection of
the public. On the 13th of August the prosecutor, who
was a commercial traveller, left the carpet bag, with some
other articles, in a trap in Weymouth-street, New Ken--
road, while he went away for a short period, and when he
returned the carpet bag was gone. From information that
was subsequently obtained by a police constable named
Robinson, he took the prisoner Shea into custridy, and
he admitted'
that he had stolen the carpet bag, and gave
information how he had disposed of it. In consequence
of that information the constable proceeded to
13, Waterloo-road, which was occupied by the prisoners
George and Louisa Evans, and, according to the constable's
statement, was a tobacconist's shop and a brothel, and be
there found the carpet bag belonging to the prosecutor,
and Shea pointed out the prisoners as the persons to whom
he had sold it for Gs. immediately after it was stolen.
Upon the premises in the Waterloo-road being searched, it
will be recollected that an enormous quantity of stolen
property was discovered.
Some witnesses were called to speak to the character of
the prisoner George Evans, and they described him as a
hardworking, industrious man , but they all said they knew
him by the name of Spicer.
The Common Serjeant having summed up, the jury
almost immediately returned a verdict of Guillig against
both prisoners.
Mr. Lilley said there were five other indictments against
I the receivers, and forty distinct owes were discovered
where property found in their possession had been stolen.
A police-sergeant of the P division informed the court
that among the property found at the house in Waterloo-
road were three watches that were the proceeds of robberies
accompanied by personal violence. The entire value of
the property found was 2001., and about 1001. worth of it
had been owned, but no owners had been discovered for
the remainder. A great many of the articles were such as
were likely to have been stolen from travellers' carts and
other vehicles, and in several instances laundresses and
poor people had been compelled to pay considerable sums
for property that bad been stolen from their carts.
The prisoners were then called up for judgment, and
The Common Serjeant, after observing that there could
be no doubt that the Evansea were wholesale receivers of
stolen property, and that their house was full of articles of
that description, sentenced Shea to be imprisoned and
kept to hard labour for 18 months ; Louisa Evans to be
kept in penal servitude for five, and George Evans for
seven years.
