envelope, containing four tickets, three of which
had been redeemed, and these articles were his
property. The envelope was in the WindwriUng of the pri-
mmer. There were other tickets presented to lid, which
he believed to refer to instruments pledged by the prisoner,
and his (prosecutor's) property, bet he had not bad time to
wait upon the pawnbrokers to examine the articles.
John Gawley, 314 A, a plain clothes dense, said he re-
ceived instructions to go to Remington-street, City-road,
the prisoner having changed his lodgings. The prisoner was
not there when he entered, and his mother produced three
duplicates which she said were her sons. They related
to architectural and surveying instruments. The prisoner
subsequently came in, and when the tickets were produced
he said they were the duplicate, of hie pledged property.
Yr. Stockbridge asked for a remand, when
Yr. Yardley thought they might obtain the required evi-
deoce in • short period. The cue could be at once summed
up, and he only required that one ass two witnesses should
have been wedged, who might than have been present, and
the case could at ewe have base disposed of.
Mr. Stockbridge held that from the didanoes in which the
articles had been panted a little time should be al-
! lowed.

Yardley said he would allow some time. The case
was not an intricate lISS, aad he thought that a remand
until the following day would well meet the cam.
Mr. Stockbridge tht that would meet his view, but
he would have preferred d►y or two longer.
The prisoner was accordingly remanded.

Among the night cleargee on the L division sheets placed
before M.r. Combs, was an entry—" A female, name un-
known, charged with being. found drunk and insensible,
at half-past one in the monung."
Sergeant Rackstraw, the acting inspector of the L divi-
sion in attendance, informed his worship that the unfortu-
nate woman died almost immediately after being brought
to the station-house. Her name was unknown, and that
was the reason of the entry being left blank.
Mr. Casaba asked where she was found!

picked her up, and placed her on the stepof a door, when he
found her entirely helpless and insensible from excessive
drinking. He immediately procured assistance, and con.
veyed her to the station-house in Tower-street, when Dr.
Hateson was sent for. On the arrival of that gentleman, a
minute oe two afterwards, he pronounced her to be dead.
Mr. Comb. asked whether anything was known of the poor
woman?
Sergeant Rackstraw said that he understood that she had
for some time gained a precarious subsistence by selling
almanacks sod pencils at publiclonses. Ho was informed
that she had been turned out of a public-house in the New-
cut a little after 12 o'clock, in a drunken state. He further
informed hie worship that she was miserably clad, and ap-
peared to be half starved. He should think that her death
was caused by excessive drinking and exhaustion for want
of food. A coroner's inquest would, however, he held
forthwith.
Mr. Combo supposed that there bad been no violence to-
wards her.
Sergeant Rackstraw replied in the negative. She bad
evidently died from exhaustion.
Mr. Combs marked the charge sheet accordingly.
