robberies in the crowd during the Lord Mayor's show, and

ment.

GUILDHALL.

Julius Aleaatsder ifoicinsea,;ho has been remandedfrom
this court from tame **tiros in order to give the Pruasion au-
thorities an opportunity of prosecuting the prisoner for the
alleged robbery on the Mayor of Riga during his sojourn in
Hanover, was placed at the bar before Alderman Beesley,
charged with being at the !Salisbury Hotel with intent to
commit • felony. A letter had been received from
Hanover detailing the cirentnataneee of the robbery, but
it appeared that the Prussian consul was not inclined to
prosecute.
Alderman Seeley said he bad no doubt the prisoner was
in the hotel intending to commit • robbery, since there
were implements in Ms possession calculated to effect that
object.
He was sentenced to three months' imprisonment, with
hard labour.

Joseph Thomas Hand, formerly clerk to Messrs. F. and
A. Morrison, was charged with embezzling the sum of 2001.
on the 10th August, 1864. He bad been sent on that day
by his employer to pay a cheque into the bank, amounting
to 5041. lls. 6d., but prisoner, instead of doing so, paid in
on the 20th August a cheque for 3041. lls. 6d., and when
he got the bankers' pus book into his possession he altered
the three into five. Thus the fraud escaped detection until
other cases caused an investigation to be made.
Remanded for a week.

Frederick Hales, a ragged boy, was charged, under the
Amended Industrial Schools Act, with wandering abroad
without having any visible means of subsistence, which
gives the magistrate power to commit to one of the
schools for a term of years. A policeman saw the prisoner
in the Broadway. He said he had no home or parents ;
he slept in carts and doorways, end bad been tempted by
boys to sleep under the arches in Victoria-street, but
refused, as be wished not to get into trouble. He took
him to the workhouse for the night, and in the morning
fetched him ; he was in a deplorable condition.
In answer to inquiries from the magistrate, the poor boy
said he came from Faringdon, Berks. His father had
worked for Mr. Pinnegar, a farmer there, and died two
years ago. He came to London six months ago, and had
subsisted by begging and doing little errands for milkmen.
Mr. Humphrys said the boy had been continually
begging bread outside the bakers' shops in the Broadway.
Mr. Selfe said he could rot commit the boy to Feltham,
as it was exclusively restricted to boys who had been con-
victed of crimes. There were several industrial schools,
but be could not compel them to take him in. He did not
wish the boy to be with young thieves who might contami-
nate him, and thought he had better be remanded for •
week to the workhouse.
Remanded accordingly.
