The permit wee then removed.

Mr. Walker begged earnestly for the mildest punishment
that the magistrate mild inflict to be awarded, and in coma-
quence of this the prisoner was ordered to be imprisoned fer
seven days only.
Mr. Tindal Atkinson, accompanied by Mr. Hughes, from
the ogee at Mahn. Crowder and Maynard, solicitors to the
Eastern Counties Railway Company, requested the =gis-
t/Mee interference under the following circumstances :
Mr. Atkinson said that he was instructed, on behalf of the
directors of the Eastern Counties Railway, to apply to the
magistrate, mdse their set of incorporation, for suer many
proem against Ma, Henry Hunt, of Waltham-crosa, Emu,
for having unlawfully used end worked upon a portion of
their line, a certain locomotive engine, without haring pre •
viouely obtained the sanction and approval of the engineers
or is of the company, whereby he bad rendered himself
liable to • penalty of 201. It was scarcely nee...eel to offer
any observations with regard to the ecrupuloue precision and
constant vigilance which were required in regulating the
time end oonductins the whole of the delicate macbinet eon-
nested with railway travelling; but it wee quite manifold that
all the exertions of the officials to accomplish that object
would be utterly neutralised if a private individual was
suffered to place an engine upon the lino on his own
account, without the knowledge or erection of the
company, and in total disregard of their established
• arrangements for the public safety . In reference
to the particular offence which formed the subject of com-
plaint he should confine himself at present to the mere
mention of the fact, that on the night of Thursday, the let
inst., a locomotive belonging to Mr. Hll4 wee suddenly
discovered progressing along the rails in close frozimlty to
one of the regular trains on the North Woolwich has, which
necessitated the instant stoppage of the latter, to the great
terror of the pwevgen, and it wee only by the merciful in-
terposition o Proof once that • million was avoided, which,
in all probability, must have resulted in fatal consequence..
He should abstain from mitering further into the particulers
of the transaction at this stage of the ma hb con-
nived that be had made out a sufficient fens case to

tabbed Orloff °rondotoff, aSw miller, of the sum of 161.
The prosecutor, who spoke English very ireperfectly, was
understood to state that on Saturday evening be was In the
Watirioo-road, when the two prisoners came up, and Murray
asked him for something to eat. It, (witness) went into a
porkahop to purchase some eatables, and took out his puree
to pay for the purchase. The prisoners remained standing
outside the shop. The purse, which contained about 161.,
the witness replaced in the pocket of his outside coat, along
with his handkerchief, and again joined the prisoners who gut
round him, sad Money drew out his (witness's) handkerchief,
sad, in • moment afterwards, it was found that the purse
and money were also gone. He celled a policeman and gave
both prisoners into cuatod.
Police-conatable G 2 L deposed that he received the pri-
source in charge from the last witness. They denied
having taken the money, and neither purse Sr money were
found. On tho prisoner Murray, however, ho found do
handkerchief, and on Grown two pair of new stockings,
which the prisoner claimed as his property.
The priannere were remanded for further inquiring.

put four o'clock, he was standing at his private door, when

He went, and was informed by Mr. Holdom that his little
boy had seen twomengointo Mr. Whitehead'ahouss. Witness
went to the preen:llnm°, door and gave four loud knocks, but
received no reply, and consequently he placed Mr. /Udine to
watch that doer while he (the witness) placed himself at the
shop door. Ina few seconds the shop door was opened very
cautiously and the two prisoners came oat. Davie was first,
sad with him the witness closed, saying that he had been
waiting for him. The other prisoner ran away but was pur-
sued by Mr. Radom and brought beck. Davis made a
rate resistance, and both he and his captor (the witness) fell
