Julius Burro Lerewateirs' of 2, Southgate-road, Dalkon,
merchant, was placed in the dock, charged with conspiring
with Hermann Mecklenburg and others not in custody,
and obtaining, by means of false pretences, between
the 15th June and the 20th September, a quail.
lity of damask and linen. value about MU., the property
of Messrs. Crawford and Lindsay, linen manufacturers,
county Down, Ireland, who have an agency in Milk-street,
Cheapaide. He was likewise charged with conspiring with
the -awe parties and obtaining, by means of false pretences,
quantity of linen, poplins, and linseys, of the value of
UV. and upwards, the property of Messrs. Pins Brothers,
312 Milk.street, Cheapside.
Mr. Straight, hamster, appeared for the prosecution ;
and Mr. Beard, solicitor, corducted the defence.
to hi+ opening statement Mr. Straight remarked that
the case was of a very complicated nature, and that on
She present occasion he should confine himself to the first
charge and ask for a remand to a future day. He had a
more serious charge to prefer against the prisoner
than that of conspiracy, but even with the slender
materials he could at present bring forward he should be
able to prove that be had been guilty of forgery in more
than one instance. It appeared that defendant and Meek-
lesburg bad represented themselves to be the London
agents of Messrs. Levenstein Brothers, general dealers,
Berlin, and having previously sent • person to
open an office at Rotterdam, under the name
of Nathaniel Hope and Co., the goods were
transmitted to that office, and either pawned or sent back
to London and disposed of there. Some of the witnesses
he anould call were not of a very reliable character, but
their evidence would be corroborated by persons of an un-
deniable character. _ _ _

Joseph Martin, the London agent of Mown. Crawford
end Lindsay, gave evidence as to the prisoner and Meck-
lenburg ordering certain goods from him on bet,alf of
Lowenstein Brothers, of Berlin, and the case was going on
when our report left.

WANDSWORTH.
ROBBERY BY A RAILWAY CARMAN.

Jon pA Horton, a young man, was charged with being
eceeerned, with a female named Winn, in receiving some
tubs of butter from Samuel Jackson, a carman, in the
employ of the South Western Railway Company, well
knowing them to be stolen.
Mr. T. Bent, the company's superintendent of police,
informed the magistrate that Captain Eden, the owner of
the pottmanteau, could not attend to-morrow, to which
day the other prisoners are remanded, as the Duke of
Cambridge would inspect his division. Therefore the case
would not be completed to-morrow.
Police.constable Syred said—Yesterday afternoon he
saw the prisoner at his mother's house, 11, Clay-street,
Crawford-street, Marylebone. He asked him whether he
went in the van with Jackson to Mrs. Blake, otherwise
Winn. He said he did not, neither did he carry any
batter there. He then took the prisoner to a shop in
Spring-street, kept by Mies Richardson, who recognised
him ea a customer, and said she purchased 441bs. of butter
of him for 3s. 4d. The prisoner then said he did sell
the butter. Witness next took him to the shop of Mr.
Peddle, a baker in Dorset-street, Portman-square, where
be was recognised as having sold 4 9bs. of butter to him.
Mr. Peddle also said that the prisoner represented that his
muter had a tub of butter from the country. The prisoner
admitted selling the butter. He also admitted that be
went in the van with Jackson to Mrs. Blake, that he
carried two and the boy, the approver, three. He further
said the boya statement was correct.
Mr. Mayo. who defended, questioned the officer se to
whether be had offered any inducement to the prisoner
to confess, and he stated that he had not.

Miss Richardson was called and confirmed the state-
ment. She added that she purchased the butter on the
prisoner's representing that it was a presort from the
country and would not keep. It was salt batter and ran-
cid. She, however, could not swear that it was Devonshire
batter. She thought it was Jersey butter. She gave a
fair price for the butter.
Mr. Dayn.un remanded the prisoner to be brought up
with the other prisoners.
