Antonio Galioni, aged 36, a shoemaker, of 36, Charles-
street, Hatton-garden, and Alattau Dotnila, aged 36, who
refused his address, both natives of Italy', were charged
before Mr. Cooke with entering the dwelling house of Mr.
John Votveri, engraver, of 24, Upper Park-street, Isling-
ton, and stealing therein 30 onyx stones, value 20/., a
glass bottle containing small pieces of onyx stones, and one
teaspoon iimetall, his property. The prisoners were fur-
ther charged with stealing a wooden box containing 100
onyx stones, value 10/., and also with feloniously await-
ing John Morgan at the same time and place.
Inspector Wiseman, N division, watched the case on
behalf of the Commissioners of Police ; Mr. Morinan acted
as interpreter ; and Mr. Ilicketta, solicitor, also watched
the case. _ _ _

The back part of the head of the prisoner Dacola was
covered with surgical bandages.
John Morgan said—l am an out-door apprentice to Mr.
Votveri, and reside at 10, Pleasant-place, Ewa-road,
Islington. Last night, about 6 o'clock, I was left in charge
of the house—my muter and his family going out. About
half-past six I heard a double knock and I opened the
door. The prisoner Duds, and • person who is not bore,
asked me if Mr. Votveri was at home, and also if anybody
else was in the house ; and I said "No." He asked me
fora pen and ink, as he said he wanted to write a mea-
ner ; and I went upstairs to fetch them. I brought the ink
down into the parlour, and I lit the gas. Dacola then went
into the parlour, and took from the table • small box of
Firostones and put them into his pocket. Then I saw the
prisoner Galioni pass along the passage with something in
s hand like the large black bag produced, and go up-
stairs. The prisoner Demia then lowered the gas, taught
hold of me in a violent manner, and threw me into a chair,
shook his Bet at me menacingly, and told me not to halloo
out, I then said I would not call out. He had • pocket
handkerchief in his band, which he tied over my mouth
and nose very tightly. I could not breathe, and I pulled
it down. Then the prisoner Lamle. took another hand-
kerchief from his pocket and tied my bands behind me.
Then he put his hands into his pockets and looked hard at
me. Just at that moment the police officers came into the
room. He rushed at the officers, and a struggle took place,
and the policeman struck him. I told police-constable
Ihulley to untie my hands, and he did so with his teeth.
My hands were very tightly tied. I was afraid of the
prisoner.
In the course of the evidence it was explained that owing
to information they had received the pollee had been pre-
viously stationed in the house, and were thus able to come
to the assistance of the boy and to capture the prisoners,
as above stated.

In answer to a question,
Inspector Wiseman said he understood that Daoola had
•beady been convicted.
. . .

Cooks said that the prisoners would be committed
to the Central Criminal Court for trial, but they would be
brought up again to give time to the police to make
further inquiries, and to apprehend the man that had
escaped. On that occasion the prisonen could make their
defence.
