The Express.
London, England, 1867-01-26 00:00:00

THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 26, 1867.

Thomas Dance, a horse keeper employed by Mr.
Mitchell, of Dorset-street, who stated that he was in the
habit of going on a Wednesday in every month to his club
at the Larleymow, in l)onet•street. In doing so he was
obliged to pass the cab rank in Dorset•street, at about
9 o'clock. As he passed on the evening of the Bth he saw
the defendant and spoke to him. He remained in his club
till twenty minutes past 11, and when he came out he
again stw the defendant. At 9 o'clock there were eight or
nine cabs before the defendant's. At deven the defen•
dant's was about third or fourth. He said to the
defendant " You will get no fare to-night." The defendant
said that he should soon turn in. He knew the defendant
from working at the same cabyard.
In iiii ivation by Mr. Lewis, the witness said that it
was a fine night, whereas it was shown that it was snowy.
Mr. Vaughan said it was quite evident that
the accident had been caused by a cab bearing the
number of that driven by the defendant, and that he had
been produced as the driver on that particular occasion.
His master would therefore have to pay for the damage
done. and he, 111 r. Vaughan, should tine the defendant
20s. and costs, or order him to be imprisoned for 10 days.
Defendant did not pay the tine. He was removed in the
prison van.

CLERKENIVELL
FOREIGN HoUNEBREAKERA.
Raphor Owe'. aged 40, a respectably-attired Italian,
who was described on the charge.sheet as a general tiler-
chant residing at 3, Beak-street, Regent-street, was
charged before Mr. Barker with being concerned with two
Italian.; now in custody with breaking and entering the
dwelling-house of Mr. John Votieri, engraver,of 24, I 'tiper
Park -street, Islington, and stealing therein 30 onyx stouts,
value 201.. a glass bottle containing pieces of onyx atones,
a wooden box containing 100 onyx stones, value 401., and
also with feloniously assaulting Joseph Morgan at the Lune
time and place.

On Thu.rsilay- night the prosecutor's house was visited by
some foreigners, who, finding that the prosecutor was
absent, asked for a pen and ink to write a message. One
in them was shown into the parlour, and then the appren-
tice was bound with his hands behind him with a hand-
kerchief, and a handkerchief waa tied tightly over his
mouth. The police. who were concealed in the house,
rushed in and apprehended the two men now in custody,
but not before a desperate struggle took place. The ap-
prentice then said that another nmn, not then in custody,
came to the door, but he went away.
A woman who cohabited with one of the prisoners
under remand, said that the present prisoner was the
man that '' put up "the robbery, and had induced the two
men under remand to commit the offence. The prisoner
stopped with the men nearly all day, and went out with
them when they went to commit die robbery. He had
frequently told her friend to go and rob the prosecutor's
house, and had also told them how to 110 tt, and the
proper time to go. She was sure her friend would not
have committed, the robbery had it not been for the
prisoner.
Joseph Morgan said that when the two men now in ClL-
tody were going to the police-station he saw the prisoner
pass his master's house. That was about two minutes after
the police had released him. The prisoner did not stop or
take any especial notice of his master's house.
The prisoner said he could prove a clear and com-
plained that he had been twice taken into custody on this
charge. If, was taken out of his bed at 2 o'clock, and
then the inspector discharged him.
A tradesman in an extensive way of business in Hatton-
garden. said that the prisoner was in his house two
hour. before the robbery, and from that time up to
nearly an hour after the robbery had been committed- He
was a respectable man, and would not be guilty of such au
offence as felony.
Mr. Barker said there was no evidence to connect the
prisoner with the robbery. The alibi was complete, and
the prisoner would therefore be discharged.

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Ors o'CLoca.

The English funds continue in request, and
are to 3-16 per cent, better than yes-
terday upon additional purchases. Some of the
other securities, including British railway stocks
and foreign bonds, exhibit, however, a slight re-
action, in the absence of transactions of any im-
portance. Atlantic and Great Western Railway
consolidated mortgage bonds have improved
per cent., owing to a statement in a contemporary
that the interest is about to be resumed.
The rate for choice bills in the discount market
to-day is 3 per cent., showing no change. Short
loans on English government securities are offered
in the Stock Exchange at 11 to 2 per cent.
The licsciusko has arrived from Port Phillip with
113,500 f. in gold, and the Hansa, from New York,
with 79,000/., making, including 117,0t0/. reported
yesterday, a total of 309,5001., a portion of which
may be retained here, the demand for the Continent
not being active.

and 90 13-16 to 15-16, or 901, for the account

54k, ex div. ; ditto of 1865, 293 to ; Greek, 141
to ; Spanish Passive, 22 to 1 ; ditto Certifi-
cates, 141 to ; Italian of 1861, 53; to T. 4, ox
div. ; Mexican, lif to In ; and Russian Scrip,
If to If prem.

The scrip of the New Chilian loan has declined
to to 11 prem., upon the allotment. The dis-
tribution to members of the Stock Exchange has
ranged from one-fifth t., one fifteenth .f the
amount applied for.

United States 5-20 Bonds, as well as Erie and
Illinois Central Railway shares, are 'unaltered,
but Atlantic Great Western Debentures and

sent quotations are : 5-20 Bonds, 73i, to 2 ; Erie

given.

The amount of gold withdrawn from the Bank
yesterday for exportation was only b,000(. The
steadiness of the exchanges will probably tend to
check the outflow.

117,0001. in gold, afters quick passage of 70 days.
The amount of bullion known to be still at sea from
Australia is about 300,9001., a large portion of

ably for this country as on Wednesday, except as
