1111402DINART CHARGE OP DETAINING
C•SH-BOX.

(From the Birmingham Daily Poet.)
An extraordinary case was called on for investiga-
tion on Thursday at the public Moor-street, bears
Messre.W. Sends Cca,H.Wright, and S. Tkoeaton. The *harp
was beought mobil Mrs.Elitabeth ]wife ola raped-
able tradesman In Pershore-street, a felon=
Mining a caeh-box, belonging to Mr. Umgcsioof P
sheet, whose house was partially destroyed dre on Tues-
day night. The property contained In the x was of the
estimated value of 1201. 111 ash, and 201. worth in other va-
luables. The cue for the prosecution was conducted by Mr.
Herdthg, sad Mr. Brown detended the amused.
Mr. Harding said thecharge was bought under theFrandu-
lent Trost*. Act. The pointinvolved in the cam was whether,
under the sot of parliament ha bed mentioned, and which
was a meat one (passed on the 17th of August,
186 n, it became a criminal came. Mr. Harding then rood
the fourth section of the ma, nadir which decisions in several
cases had already bees even. A doubt might perhaps be
raised as to the besting of the art upon the case in question,
and he himself entertained • doubt about it ; but still the
bench might, after hearing evidence, deem it sufficiently
strong to send it for further investigation. It was a most
impartial ow, and one that delnaaded ties strictest attention.
Mr. Harding then celled Mr. Gregory, who deposed : I lived,
until a night or two eg% at Noe. 86 and 67, Pershormstrest.
I had the misfortune to have a Are at my residence on Tues-
day night. About 8,0001. worth of property was destroyed.
I had a ash-boa; sad two or three days before the Am 1 put
Into it several EOM of money amounting to 1061. I locked the
box and gave the key to Mrs. Gregory. I put in 901. on the
Friday before the gene, and 161. or 171. on the neat day. After
the Are was extinguished I found the cosh-box in its wrist
pleas on the plena, in • front upstairs room. I gave it to
Mr. Spencer. It was locked, and was afterwards given by
him to one of the firemen. I thin went with Spencer, the fire-
man, and several others, to Mrs. Brookes's house. I told her
that I had brought the osehhox and books. She said she
was pleased, and, that she would take "goof them. The
box was about 16 inches long and It broad. It was ir.sho-
ranand breambound. I left the box end books in her pos.
. In two or three hours afterwards, In consequence of
what Mrs. Gregory said to =AI applied to Mrs Brookes for
the ash-box. She said she !mew nothing of the box, bedtime,
had it, nor seen it. I said to her, Mrs. Brookes, as you
asy that to a man to the trouble lam V' She still mid she
knew nothing about it. A man called lassph, who was in
the house when the boa was given to Mrs. Brookes, and saw
her receive it, also denied that he bad seen the box.

Cross examined—l have tot searched for the box since I
went to fetch it away from Mrs. Brooklet's. I did not see Mr.
Brookes till then. I saw be bad been " acenewbere" by the
looks of him—noes or somewhere. He said, " What do you
say, air and turned up his eyes. He also said, "Do you
know, my character la as good as yours ;" and I then saw
that it was all up with the box. Mr. Brookes wanted me to
search the house, but I would not, because I thought I
should perhaps fall through a trap-door. I might have said
dace the fire that I would have entrusted Yr. Brookes
with Ka
Mrs. Gregory was next examined. She said—l saw the
cashbox in Mrs. Brookee's honer, and tbe books tying on the
top of it. In the course of se hour after I saw it I asked
Mrs. Brookes to give it to me. She said she had not got it.
I said, "Oh dear, Mrs. Brookes, whatever shall we do ?
The money was in it."
Mr. Harding put It to the bench, in order to save time,
whether, IN tar as the case had gone, they thought the *vi-
ctims of °measles andirnp:priation was t, eves
that a pried aria case had been made oat that
itrteMbilhad been left at 's. The denial was—floe,
that Mrs. Brookes had not got the box ; and secondly,
that she knew nothing about it. The question for
the bench was, whether those denials amounted to a
positive denial that eits ever had the box, and whether they
would end the ones fora jury to determine.—Mr. Wright
amid that the bench were of opinion that the **lmes of c
ts-
verdoa, or of appropriation to her own use, wasnot sada-
skeet, oboe( to warrant the case betas sent bafore a jury.—
Mr. Brown protested against the case being allowed to fall
through In that manner. It was a matter deeply affecting
the reputation of his client, who would leave the court with
an Imputation upon her character if the case were not fully
ibvestigated. Be had several WHIMS'S/, who would dis-
tinctly swear that the box was not laft It Mrs. Brooke's
house at all.—Mr. Harding replied that he was quite pre-
pared to go on with the ease, as ha hid half a dozen wit-
braes who would swear that Mrs. Brookes bad the box. It
was a question whether Mr. Brown would be allowed to call
his whammies fa the pollee court.—Mx. Wright remarked that
the bench costai&rsd it would be melees to proceed further
with the case; end they also wished to intimate that Mts.
Brookes would leave the court without the slightest imputa-
tion on her chsraoter.—The accused, who had been painfully
affected, that left the court with her Mends.
