:Itternf saw the prisoner Moss on apart ailed the ruins,
fitting on a pair of boots, with the prisoner Noon by his
side. It was about 200 yards from Mr. Lilley's shop. I
asked Moss what he was doing, and he said henig was trying on
• pair of boots which be had bought the ht belore, be-
tween 7 and 8 o'clock, at • shop in Whitechapel, the name of
the proprietor of which he did not reoolleet. I said it was a
very straw place to fit on a pair of boots, which he had
bought the night before, and I told another °Moor to take
charge of the prisoners, while I looked about. He did so,
and on ssarohln the ruins I found firs other pairs of boots,
tied to a I.ffehief, and ooverid with rubbish, • little
way off the spot when the prisoners were sitting.

the ruins, with • bundle like that now produced. After
being there a little while they got se the TVs., and Noon
went into Bishopsgate-street, as if to see wiz/Aber any one
was coming. He made a motion as if the place was clear,
when Moos went to him, and they both mot away. About
half-past eve I saw them again come on the rains, and as I
then thought something was wrong I went oat to look for a
policeman, and se I was coming back I met the °Mows with
the two prisoners in custody.
In answer to the charge Noon said nothing.
Moss said he knew nothing except about the one pair of
boots, which the policeman had found him in the act of tit-
thlkcOlLLord Mayor—Why, your own Oster has told the
Moor that the handkerchief in which the five pairs were
loud is yours.
llose—Tben I'll own to the six pairs, but not to the others.
They were both committed for trial.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON HI

evening, at half-pest seven o'clock, when the roadway of
Holborn-hill was mowded with ocaxdbasse, cabs, and ether
vehicles, and the pavement with ponces who had ourseoat
for an evening walk, a horse in a cab was seen on the brow
of the bill proceeding at full speed towards F -
street. The driver was on the box, bat bad not the
control over the animal, which dashed frenticelly down the
hill amidst the shouts of the alarmed a sews it
whom waited breathless, while others fol owed In ell bade
to witness the Inevitable catastrophe. Carriage Air car-
riage was pared by the cab in a 'Reprising asestaer without
collision until St. Andrew's Church was reached, where
the bind wheels of the cab struck those of a
phaeton In which a gentleman and lady wore tsking a drive.
The shook was terrific, and in one instant the body sad
shafts of the cab were seen with the bores in one part of the
road, the hind wheels in another, sad the poor driver at a
distance from both. The phaeton wee whirled oompletely
round, and the lady fainted. The cabman was Instantly
taken up, bleeding from the head, and conveyed to St. Bar-
tholomew's Hospital. Upon such an moralisation as was
possible ander the circumstances, it would be premature to
state the extent of his injuries, which, however, most be
serious. The phaeton was drawn into Ely-place,, and the
lady received immediate attention from the inmates of one of
the houses there, ander which she speedily recovered. The
gentleman who accompanied her was not hurt.
