Sir R. Carden the substance of a oceverestion
that had taken place between me and Mr. 1 •AW•

Robert .eked what steps I Named ken sail I mil avow log
several of his friends to fan • le protest la-
terals, and in one of • poll to arm, the
services of a competent agent. Sir Mart re-
plied that he considered that to be altogether
unneeneary, and he should not ask any of his handsto do
so. He sad, moreover, that if the high position which be
had for so many year. truntained without reproach in this
city would not of itself command the support of
hie fellow-citizene, he certainly should not ad them
to vote for him. Sir Robert, I think, than re-
ferred to the prevention of parlor not entitled
to vote being admitted to the poll; and on tildes Ism of
him he maid he did not intend to tskie any Mar in the matter

the subjs.-I of Mr. Anderton's opeodtion, but It was
cussed, as was also the propriety of taking meanne to re-
sist It. It were proposed, I believe, by me, that en agent to
conduct thel should be engaged on the part of Sir R.
Carden, when Sir R. Carden said he should eanuredly de-
mand • poll, the expenses of whkh would
fall upon the sheriff,. Mr. Alderman Wire =pi tined
to me that it was not quite so, so the condi-
datee would have to provide agents to bring up voters
and check the votes. I then maggested that the more correct
course primps would be that the deputy and common
councilmen of Doweste and Aldine Ward (the wards et
titan two aldermen) should be requested to meditate thaw
pelves into • committee for the purpose. of the electing. This
was amented to by both aldermen, and Sir R. Carden asked
me, as a matter of favour, to accompany him le
hie deputy, Mr. Kebble, and I did so. Mr. Deputy Kebble
wee in his counting-house. I deed to him what had paned
at the vial to Mr. Alderman WWII, and requested him to put
himself into communication with the deputy and Comma
romeeilruen of the ward of Welbrook, for the pur-
pose* of the election. I then referred to an interview
I had had with the defendant, and eurneeted his employ-
ment as agent far the lerilithetn Moose@ of lb° "Ike.
Mr. Deputy Kebble observed, " I think I understand the
purposes for which be is to be employed, an.l it will be weer

utterly averse to. and would not sanction, any of the pro-
ceedings usually taken at elections; and he wee not die •
pond to ban the defendant employed at all. I again
rehired to the annuity of having an meal, and
urged that same nne should be employed ender
the direction of the committee, and the rank
we. left to Mr. Deputy Kebble. I and Sir Robert were

we appressehed Aldermen Wire'. office, Sir Robert took
out hit watch, and mid it was 12 o'clock, so that he could
not return to Aldermen Wire, and I went, by hie desire, to
communicate the reeult of our interview with Mr. Depute

ing to murder Flemy Clareadw, a woman rivaling in Nor-

remembered that the prisoner and the woman, wingers to
each other, having met in Bond-street, adjourned to a house
of ill-fame in union-street, where, keeping some money he
had Oven her, she was seized bold of by the proioner as she

of his money, which she resolutely refused, deliberately
took from his pocket a knife and cut her throat.
Mr. Inspector Park informed the magietrato that, except-
ing that of the surgeon, ho had to-day unfortunately no
evidence to offer. It was quite clear that the prusecutrix,
with her two children, had got out of the way, having
been tampered with by the friends of the prisoner. Every
exertion had been made to trace her, but at present without
effect. He therefore applied for • farther mound to give the
police an opportunity to !Ind her.

Joke Maw. Aihrtherst, a pianoforte tuner, in the
ploy of Measrs. Broadwood, was charged with exciting a
mob against the police, and otherwise obstructing them in
the due performance of their duty.
It appeared from the evidence that policemen C 147 and
P 111 were engaged about seven o'clock in the evening in
conveying to the station an Irish stall woman who had got
drunk, and, sa a cionnequence, became violent and obese-
peeves, when the defendant who was in the mob that
assembled, laid hold of one of them, and exclaiming, "The
ratepayers don't pay you policemen to lug off poor women

C 147 added that the mob, which was very gnat, hustled
thine several times in consequence of the additional confusion
eased by the defendant's proceeding., and that they, in the
sheet distance to the station, both had their pockets *hod of
this handkerchiefs, with which the export and, no doubt,
genethed thieves got char off.
The defendant, when called upon for his answer, told the
nisgistrate he really should be ashamed to say anything at
all against the police. The fact was, ha saw the fruit-woman
std along by her basket, as he thought very improperly, and
a feeling of humanity caused him at once to interfere. Ho
called two respectable persona sa winsome on his behalf,
hoping to neestive the testimony of the polio', but did not
succeed, for they would not say but that the definedent might
lave done and said all alleged against him without their

magistrate in his piece on the bench. She was thweepta

Mr Alfred Walters, of the firm of Walters and Son, silk
manufacturers, in Wilson-street, Finsbury, stated that, in
the early part of July last, on taking stock of the silk in the
warehouse, he was enrprieed to find • diminution to the
amount of at least 120 f. He was utterly at a Ines to account
fur the deficiency, until he euddenly recollected that the ri-
mier had been employed about the premises to perform ime-
thin repairs during the Easter week, and having ascertained
that he bad subsequently obtained access to the

Edward Leferre, the prosecutor's porter, stated that
the prisoner had repeatedly called at the place at
en early hour In the morning, for the alleged purpose of
completing little odd jobs whirl his muter had forgotten at
the time the alterations were in hand. On each occasion the
prisoner brought with him • capacious covered basket, with
which he itivviably left before 8 o'clock in the morning,
after cohtriviog, by frivolous pretences, to get witness out of
the way beton• his departure.

that, in consequence of information he had neelved, be ac-
rompanied Inspector Bracknell to • house in Oreshasn-build-
Inge, City, the door of which was opened by the prisoner,

robbery. The prisoner stoutly denied the accusation, and
with an air of injured innocents boldly challenged him to
search the place, which be promptly did, and discovered •
quantity of silk and • number of pawnbmkers' duplicate*
secreted in the lower room. While he was engaged in the
search the primmer's wife, who had preriously de eland that
she had nothing about her at all connected with the charge,
in a stealthy manner made her way towards the doer, but
was followed up by witness, who detected her in the act of
handing to a man a small packet which he instantly secured,
and found to contain 42 dupltrMeg—Wveral of which related
to silk, and the reeidue to articles of jewellery and wearing
