SYSTEMATIC' ROBBERY OF NEWSPAPERS.

At Guildhall yesterday, George Brown, carman
to Netters. W. H. Smith and Son, news agents, of the
Strand; John Donovan, a hawker of newspapers; and
George Atkinson, a newsagent, of No. 6, Tudor-street,
Blackfriars, were placed at the bar before Sir Thomas
Gabriel, the first-named prisoner charged with stealing
three quires of the Daily.Areirsnewspapers from his masters,
and the two latter with receiving them, well knowing
them to have been stolen.

Mr. Straight (barrister) prosecuted ; and Mr. George
Lewis, jun., of Ely-place, appeared for Atkinson.
James Hann, detective officer, said that about five
o'clock that morning he was in Bouverie-street, opposite
the Daily News office, and saw two carte of Messrs.
Smith and Son standing opposite the door of that office.
The numbers of the carts were 10 and 18. Brown was the
driver of number 10 cart. Donovan came out of the
Daily News office with a bundle of papers on his shoulder
and spoke to Brown, who thereupon opened a bundle of
newspapers he had on the footboard of his cart and took
out three quires of Daily New, which he placed on the
top of the bundle Donovan was carrying. Donovan then
went to Atkinson's house and witness followed him.
The shop was not opened and Donovan pitched the
papers at his door, and then called to him until
he awoke him. About a quarter of an hour after
Atkinson opened the door, and then Donovan took in
the papers and gave them to Mr. Atkinson. Witness
waited about ten minutes, and then Donovan came out.
He stopped him and asked him what papers they were
that he had taken to Mr. Atkinson's, and he said they
belonged to Mr. Atkinson. He asked him where he
brought them front, and he relied kcen the Daily
office. Witness then told him that he had received three
Quires from Mr. Smith's driver in Bouverie-street a short
time since, and he said by hadnot. He then handed Do-
novan over to a police °Mew in uniform, and went to Mr.
Atkinson's shop. He saw him there, and told him that he
bad come about three quires of Daily New. which had been
stolen off one of Mr. Smith's carts, and that Donovan had
brought them into his shop. He further told Atkin-
son that they were marked and that he could
swear to them. He then told him that he must
search his shop, to which Atkinson replied " I
have nothing but the Daily Newt." He went into the
shop and found that Atkinson had opened the bundle of
Daily Neter which was for him and placed some of the
quires in the window, some on the counter, and some in
the back parlour. On the counter he found one of the
marked quires, and
noting
it out to Atkisson, and
be said he knew no about it, for he had not
counted hie papers. examining those in the
shop window he found another of the marked quires of
papers, and among those in the back parlour was the
third marked quire of papers. He then told Mr. Atkin-
son that they were the three quires that Donovan had re-
ceived from Smith's carman, and that he had watched
Donovan bringing them to him. He said that he knew
nothing about it, for he had not counted his papers. He
took Atkinson into custody for receiving the papers know-
ing them to be stolen ; and at the station that prisoner
made the same statement. Donovan stated, before Brown
and Atkinson, that Brown told him ho had three quires
over, and asked him if he could take them.
Isaac Farley, another constable, gave corroborative
evidence.

Mr. i;mee Monger manager of the newspaper depart-
ment at Mesas. Smiths', said that Brown had no autho-
rity from him to deal with newspapers in the way that
had been mentioned. Be had no dealings of say sort with
Mr. Atkinson or with Donovan.

Donovan said that he was coming out of the Daily News
office, when Brown said he had threequires too much,
and asked him if he could sell them. He said he could
sell one quire, his brother could sell another, and
the rest he could exchange the next day if he could not
sell them. He took them down to Mr. Atkinson's and
left them there while he went for a quire of Standards, but
he was apprehended before he got there. When asked
about the papers, he said he had bought them.
Mr. Lewis contended that Mr. Atkinson knew nothing
about the robbery, and if Donovan had purloined them
he (Atkinson) had nothing at all to do with it. Donovan
brought them and left them with Atkinson's papers while
be went for some Standard 4, and as he had not counted
them he did not know that there was more than his own
quantity there.
Sir Thomas Gabriel said that he could not believe that
Atkinson had taken no account of them, as he had evi-
dently parcelled them out for delivery, and he should
therefore remand the prisoners.
Mr. Lewis applied that Atkinson should he admitted to
boil, but
Sir Thomas Gabriel refused the itpprioation and re-
manded the prisoners.
