end forced Dimmedf up against Mr. Jacob, who immediately
ssimml him by the collar sad called out for help, end Hunter
then ran up to Harrison, evidently to take what he had got.
Several other persons then rushed upon them, and I saw
emesthing paned from one to the other, but I did not me
what it was, and the °Moms the came up sad took the pri-
mers into custody.
Mr. F. W. Jacob .id—l am seentery to Spanish and

timony wee not weakened by the ingenuity of hill exertions
for Hannon._

---Hater acid
he was innocent of the Asia.
Mr. Wonting submitted that a jury would not nittua •
verdict of guilty against Harrison in inch a case. It redly
appeared to be • mere cane of fun in which his cllent had
been =gaged on a day remarkable for larking In the
streets, and that some practised thief had taken advantage of
the confusion
toprod upon the occadon to run away with
the 's 'ateb.
TheLordMayor said the fun was jut what the most ato.
lire and ingenious thieves wars in the habit of pnctidg,
sad be would neither summarily dispose of it, net decide k ba
Petty Beesions, but would rater it to the more mime cold-
deratien of a jury.
The prisoners wens then committed for trial.

In their employ, in which capacity it was his duty to collect

count for them each day as he received them, and to band

same pwson on the 31st of October ; neither does the took
omtsin the asby of either of those sum..
Cress-eamnined by Mr. Wonther, for the prisoner—I have
on many occasions gives the prisoner particular dizestians
when to account for the money. There I. • communion
showed him in 'Milks to his eatery, but I am not aware if
there is • balance dee to him, se that belongs to another
de=e4t.

Saturday, but he could not take bail.
H'alsans lertrerit. who per himself into custody teat week
for embezzling 461. Ils., belonging to his muter, Mr. George
Baker, of Cord street, Birmingham, was again brought up,
when a detective dear from Birmingham attended, and amid
a warrant had been out for the apprehension of William
Mensett, for absconding from Mr. Baker's employ in 1854,
with 464. Ils., and from the deeeription given in the Hue end
Ory he balloted the prisoner was the same parson.
Alderman Phillips thought it extraordinary that no person
from Mr. Baker had ausded, and asked the °Seer by what
authority he claimed the prisoner, sake had no warrant with
him P

The officer said, Yr. Baker would have come to Landes;
but se the vritneeme lived in that part of the country, sad the
communication stated the prisoner would be given up to any
officer stet to conduct him to Birmingham, it was thought
unnecessary for Mr. Baker to attend. The officer then produced
the correepooderioe which had pureed between this office and
the Birmingham police, and having satisfied the court co
that point, the alderman ordered the prisoner to be given Into
the officer's custody to be conveyed to Birmingham, to ha
dealt with by the authorities of that place.
