MARYLEBONE.
George FeeMepwas brought up, charged with feloniously
receiving, about the 1011 41 September last, a cheque foe
251., also • bill of exchange for6ll. hi. 10d., well knowing
the same to have been stolen, the same being the property
of the Postmaster-General.
Mr. Askant, solicitor to the Post-office, and Mr. Scuds-
more, the assistant secretary to the Poet-office, appeared
for the prosecution ; Mr. Kentomr defended the prisoner.
John Bale, • young man, was called, and gene his evi-
dence very reduirtanti). Hs said—l was lately auxiliary
letter caner in the Brampton sorting-office. I have been
in the Post-offioe two years next January. I first met
prisoner about a month after Christman It was the end
of January se the beginning of February. It was at the
Hospital Tavern. He said he wished he was in the Part-
ake, end be would make his fortune. He then asked me
if I bad got anything. He said if I had he knew what to
do with it. I knew he meant me to steal the letters, and
I did not think it my duty to tell the Part-office &litho-
ribes. He asked me to meet him the next day, and I
knew he was going to propose • robbery of the Post-office
tome. I did not think he would propose it so soon.
The first thing I gave him was a letter with stamps in it.
I opened it is hie presence. It was in the evening at seven
o'clock. I did not look to see bow many stamps were in
the letter. I took them out, and as some one was coming
the prisoner took them out of my hand, and said he would
see me by and bye. I could not tell how many stamps
there were. I swear I did not count them. I think the
second letter I gave him had some stamps in. I think I
have given him about twenty letters, and they all con-
tained stamps and money. All these in nine months. I
wont my that I gave the prisoner upwards of twenty.
There were twenty in all. There were inquiries made
about them in some cams. Some times inquiries were
made of me. Witness then stated that he gave the pri-
soner
a letter containing the cheque and bill men-
tioned in the charge but without previously know-
iag that it was of 'value. Previous to my being
in the Post-office I was at Jackson and Graham's,
in Oxford-street as errand-boy. I grew too big for that
situation. I will swear I did not leave because my pockets
got too big for my situation. (Laughter). There were
no complaints of my robbing them. I next went to a
linendraper's in Skane-street, where I remained a
twelvemonth. I left there to go into the Poet-aloe. I
bad received at various times from these robberies a great
many small amounts. I daresay altogether during the
nine months I received about 21. 10s. That is all for
the 20 letters.
Another charge was then brought against the prisoner.
A test letter having been made up by the Part-office
authorities to pass through the hands of the witness Sale
for delivery, it was given by him to the prisoner in the
same manner as in the other cases.
The prisoner was fully committed for trial
WORSHIP-STREET.
Simon Jones, 22, calling himself • tailor, and living at
• lodging-house in Dorset-street, Spitalfields, was
with stealing a silver watch from the person o;h2.IIS!
Arnold, a stonemason, residing at Emily-place, Poplar.
Prosecutor stated his loss with lane drollery. Last
night I was in the Mile-end-road, looking with several
other persons at a man selling lacifers with a stentorian
voice. Suddenly I felt my watch chain drop from my
waistcoat pocket, and of course my witch was gone.
The prisoner, directly I looked at him, ran away. I did
not see him steal it, but I felt suite certain that he bad
done so, and saying to myself, ' All right," followed him
up and down and in and out places. Presently he
turned, and seeing me, stepped over • stall in the road,
and, I think, dropped something. Thinks I, " All
right." Away he went again, and away I follows
him. Then he stopped, looked at me, and I
looked at "What are you looking at r: says he.
"All right," says I. Well, on again be goes, and takes to
running, and. I followed him. Then he stopped. " What
are you running after me for r' he asked. All right,"
says I. " Have I stolen anything of yours 1" says he.
" All right," says I. " What do you mean by 'all right?' "
be asks, "if I've robbed you give me in charge." " All
right," I says again. (Laughter.)
Magidrate—What made you continually answer him in
those words?
Prosecutor—l was looking out for • constable all the
time, and when I saw one I gave the thief into custody.
Prisoner cross-examined with some tact, and denied all
knowledge of the watcb, which has not been found.
Magistrate—ls the prisoner known ?
Prisoner—Never been here before.
Gaoler—Yes you have, for stealing a handkerchief, and
then you said you were a tailor, which is false.
Prisoner—Oh, I forgot that.
Remanded.

Strand Union, before Mr. A.ntrobus and Mr. Sembrooke,
the magistrates, several applications were made for re-
newed licenses for slaughter-houses in the district. The
chairman (Mr. Antrobus), in granting the applications,
told the parties that they had better look out for another
mode of carrying on their occupations. They had fro-
quently been told the same thing before, but he (the
chairman) fully believed that it was the intention of the
legislature to remove all slaughter-homes from the metro-
bs, and it was expecW that a measure would be
ought forward in the next session of parliament. The
licenses were renewed. An application was also made to
the magistrates by a cow-keeper in St. Clement's Danes.
for a license to keep about 50 cows. He had kept a=

was treasurer to the guardians, went sway, and the bank
failed. The guardians refused to pay the amount again,
on the ground that the cheque had not been pee.

solved to commence prooeedinp against the guardians,
