THE POLICE COURT&

MANSION-HOUSE.

Two well-dreeeedlrai,;aineTls;;;cia We 66 and John
Trippoon, were brought up on remand, and charged before
Alderman Sir R. W. Carden with stealing an opera glass
value U. Is., the property of Messrs. Negretti and 'Lambe,
the opticians and mathematical instrument makers,
Corulull.

_
From the evidence of Mr. George Collison Cook, the
manager of the prosecutors' establishment, it appeared
that shortly before eleven o'clock on Monday morning the
two prisoners entered the shop together, and the prisoner
Webb desired to be shown a telescope which he pointed
out, and which was handed to him by one of the assistants.
While he wan examining it, after inquirinc the
price, the witness observed the other prisoner,
Trippson, go up to • shelf at hand, and take
from it an opera glass, which the witness bad
deposited there • few minutes before. The prisoner was
at once charged with the theft, but while an &hoer was
being sent for he adroitly backed up to • table in the shop,
and, with his hands behind him, dexterously deposited
upon the table the opera glass in question.
Chief Warder Ager, from the City Prison, Holloway,
was called, and proved that Webb hadonly very recently
been discharged from that gaol, where he had already
undergone two terms of imprisonment as a rope and vaga-
bond. With regard to the other prisoner, Trippson, he
(the warder) did not know anything.
Alderman Sir R. W. Carden committed the prisoners to
the House of Correction, with hard labour, for three calen-
dar months, as rogues and vagabonds.

CLEMICENWELL.
The prisoners Anthony Onlioni and Matta, Darold, re-
manded on a charge of entering the house of Mr. John
Voturi, and stealing precious stones, value 601., were
again brought up, together with Raphael Ciocci, who has
twice been charged as an accomplice, but discharged for
want of sufficient evidence.

Mr. Wontner appeared to prosecute. Mr. Montague
Williams was counsel for Cioom, and Mr. Mollenari acted
as interpreter.
The evidence with respect to the two first prisoners has
already appeared, from which it will be recollected that
they, in conjunction with others, went to the prosecutor's
door, having watched their opportunity, knocked, and on
being let in by the apprentice, in him to let them
write a note for his master. Theboyvnis bound and gagged,
and they then. in company with a man named D'Angolis,
proceeded to rifle the house of the precious stones belong-
ing to tho prosecutor. The man D'Angolis, however, when
he had admitted another accomplice, left the house, and
remained outside until his services were required to call
the police. It further appeared that D'Angolis, when he
asked Gelioni and Dacola to join him in the robbery, was
at the time in communication with the prosecutor, who
planted police in the house to meet and apprehend the
expected burglars. butra.seidittifitetr tztii;nowneye hadi bete: jritvheenre,

evidence had been elicited to justify • remand in the case
of Ciocci. He was willing to take bail in two sureties of

being given.
