Wet. Pettit, a boy in the employ of Mr. Mark Amery,
frame maker, of 69, Wells-street, Oxford-street, was
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing two post-office
orders the property of his muter—one for 31.13 a., and the
other or ISs. 6d. . . .

Mr. Amery said he gave the prisoner, who was in his
employ, two post-office orders to get cashed on the 11th
September, one at the Vere-rtreet post-office, and the other
at the port-office in Oxford-street, the amounts being
31. 13s. and 13a. 6d.; and the prisoner never returned with
the money.
In answer to the court, the prosecutor said he signed the
orders previous to giving them to the prisoner. The
prisoner had cashed the orders.
David West, 160 D, said that when he took the prisoner
into custody he said it was all right.
The prisoner pleaded guilty.
Mr. lyrwhitt said it was rather a serious amount to rob
the prosecutor of, and he should commit the prisoner for
three months, with hard labour.
Mary Ana GaAs, an unfortunate, was charged before
Mr. Tyrwbitt with violently assaulting a young woman of
the same clan, named Elisabeth Ray.
The prosecute: said she was going home when the
prisoner followed her, and attacked her in a most cruel
manner, cutting her mouth and eye.
The prisoner denied assaulting the complainant, stating
that she had only seen her once before at a raffle she (pro-
seeuirix) had had.
The prosecutes denied ever having had a ratite.
The prisoner said it was a raffle the prosecute: had to
get her man out of prison.
The prossautriz again denied having had a raffle.
Polio constable Marks, 120 C, said that bearing cries of
murder that morning, he went to Macclesfield-sheet, and
found the prosecutes and the prisoner lying on the
ground—the former having blood flowing from a wound
on her eye, and another on the nose ; sad a gentleman
passing said that the assault on the prosecute: had been
a most barbarous one, and that he believed the prisoner
used a knife. Witness, however, searched the place, but
could not And one. On the prisoner beindr
gen into
custody, she was very violent, biting and all the
way to the station. The gentleman assisted in the
prosecutes to the station to give the charge and she was
almost insensible, and he (Marks) believed that if he had
not gone to the spot when he did, the prosecute: would
have been much worse treated. _ _ _

The pris;;;TisaiiitiaiaTproseou trix had used a knife
to bar ; but the proseeutrix denied this.
Mr. T7rwhitt committed the prisoner for six weeks,
with hard labour.

Dowager Viscountess Combermere, wee again brought

place. The prisoner was in his service for six weeks last
spring. The letter received b 7 Meson. Hailing, and
signed" De Blaquiere," was not in his nor Lady De Lila-
quiere's handwriting. To the best of his belief it was,

had not been a customer of Mews. Halliag and Co. for
many years, if at all. He had never received the goods
seat to the club. _ _ _ _

Mr. Morgan stated that • charge would be preferred,
when the evidenos was complete, of obtaining goods from
Mr. Nichelay, furrier, Oxford-street.
Mr. G. Lewis maid as there had been so many remands
there was no excuse for cams not being ready.
Police-sergeant Cole said be had had a great deal of
trouble, and had been several hundred miles to make In-
vestigations. There were at least 120 cases against the pri
soner, several of the parties being in the country. Be had
spared no exertions to get up the cases.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said there must always be great diMeulty,
where there were such • number of oases, in selecting the
proper charges to bring before the court. The prisoner
would be committed, but would be again brought up in
case further charges were preferred.
