THE POLICE COURTS.

MLNBION.HOUSE.

William Baer, • lad 16 years old, was charged before
Mr. Alderman Hale, who sat for the Lord Mayor, with
stealing the sum of 911. 19.. lid., the monies of his employ-
ers, Messrs. Whitmore and Craddock, wax chandlers, 16,
Bishopsgute-street Within.
Mr. rniddock stated that the prisoner was his o L rk, and
on the 31st of October he sent the prisoner, as he was in the
habit of doing, to Marrs. Williams and Co., their bankers,
with 911. 19.. 6.1.-421. in gold, two Ti. Dotes, and the rest
in cheques and post-office orders, which were all crossed.
lie came back and stepped in the office for about twenty
minute, when he asked to be allowed to go awl see his
Lather. He went out but did not return, and as be did not
make his appearance the next day witness Bent to Messrs.
Williams to ascertain whether he had been there on the
previous afternoon. He found he bad not, and he had not
beenseeo since. _

John Price, police-constable 652, said about half-past 10
on Sunday night, the prisoner went to the policetation in
Bishopsoste, and stated that he had robbed his employers,
and was eery sorry for it, and wished to give himselt up.
Upon searching him be found the cheques and Post-office
orders produced, and thirteen duplicates relating to some
clothing, • watch, two gold Albert chains, and a gold seal.
Mr. Craddock said, that on account of the prisoner's ex-
treme youth he should like his lordship to deal with him
as leniently as he possibly could. The prisoner appeared
to have suffered very much ; he was so much altered that
he should scarcely have known him had be not been pre-
vioilidytod who he was.

Mr:Alderman Hale asked whether there was any one
who would take care of him if he dealt with him summarily?
Mr. Craddock stated that ho was very sorry to say that
those who ought to be his friends be was afraid were any.
thing but what they ought to be. Both he and the police-
man had made inquiries respecting his parent., and had ob.
tamed a very nnsatisfactory account of them. He thought
the prisoner had been influenced by some one in the brit
place.
Mr. Alderman Hale said that upon considering the evi-
dence, it was quite certain that the prisoner had not shown
any repentance for the act whisk be had committed. He
had held out till the very last, sad the last article he
pledged on Saturday last for 15.., so that it was evident that
he had gone on as long u he could and then given himself
up, and he thought his altered appstaoce might be the con-
sequence of the company be had opt since be absconded,
and under these circumstances be should commit him.
The prisoner, who had nothing to say in reply to the
charge, was fully committed for trial.
Jecult.« Welch, 18, and boar Barrie, were charged with
stealing a gold watch, value 151., from the person of Mr.
Alfred Calloway, hosier, 60, Feetcheep.
It appeared that the prosecutor was standing just inside
his shop door on Saturday night, waiting for the rifle
brigade, who were further down the street, to peas. While
there the two prisoners came up, and Welch stood before
him, and Hams leant against the doorpost. Soddenly he
felt a jerk at his watch, saw his chain drop and at the same
time saw the prisoner Welch's hand quickly withdrawn.
The prisoners both ran off ; but the prosecutor soon over-
took them, when they pretended to know nothing about it.
Welch got away, hut was taken shortly afterwards. The
watch was not found.

Partridge, the assistant gaoler, said that the prisoner
Welch had been convicted from this court before, and also
from Guildhall

The prisoners were sentenced each to three months' im•
prisonment with hard labour.

GUILDHALL.
Easord Goodell, of Mordes•road, Blackheath, and
Henry John Todd, of 27, Park-plaos, Gravesend, described
se merchaata, carrying on business in London, having been
apprehended by Paokman, the detective offices, ut their
respective residences late on Sunday evening, were
Owed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Allen charged with
having within three months of their bankruptcy obtained
goods to the value of about 450/. and upward' on credit and
under false pretences, with intent to cheat and defraud
their creditors.

Mr. Poland, instructed by Messrs. Mason and Stint, said
in this case he bad the honour to appear in support of the
don, which had been ordered by the Court of
pro ekr7ptcy, against the prisoners, for fraudulently obtain-
ing large quantities of goods on credit within three months
of their bankruptcy. He would merely give an outline of
the case which he intended proving, and then adduce suf-
ficient evidence to ask for a remand. It appuired that
towards the end of December, 1&57, • partnership
was entered into by the prisoners for the par.
wee of dealing in goods and sending them abroad -
but as Todd, who bad an office in Sire-lane, had been threi;
times a bankrupt, he was unable to obtain credit in his own
name, and he therefore had recourse to the expedient of
coupling it with that of Gandell, whose father Thomas
Ganda', had for many years carried on the bodiless of a
packer at Joiners'-hall-buildings, in Upper Thames
under the name of Gandell and Co. That firm was well
known and of good credit in commercial circles, and he (Mr.
Poland) would show that advantage was taken of Dust fact
in a manner calculated to allay any suspicions that might
arise through the appearance at Todd upon the scene. The
prisoner Gandell, though having no authority to order the
goods in question for the firm of Condon and Co., neverthe-
less held a responsible position in the firm, as manager, at
• salary of W. per week, and while in that capacity he re-
ceived goods at his father's premises, which been or-
dered in his father's name of Goodell and C 0.," and those
goods were afterwards pawned, or otherwise disposed
of, for considerably lees than the prioe they were pur-
chased at. In July last they filed a petition for
• private arrangement, their liabilities at that time
amonntiag to over 20,0001., of which more than 10,00 W.
were unsecured, and up te the present time the assets bad
not realised more than 30W. The case he proposed proving
for the purpose of a remand was one on which on the lfth
of July last the prisoners obtained of Messrs. Hardman
Brothers, of Rawstanstell, near Manchester, 22 pieces of
serge,, and on the 21st and 23rd of the same month 82
pieces of printed woollen linings, of the total value of
459/. 18s., which goods were immediately banded over to
Booth and Sons, auctioneers, of Budge-row, for certain ad-
vances made upon them. Those goods were ultimately mold
by the auctioneers, and part of then, were bought in by
Messrs. Hardman'e agent*, but • considerable loss wawa
upon them. The whole of these transactions were con-
ducted as though the parties were dealing with Thomas
Garden and Co., and such was the belief of Messrs. Hard-
man. The prisoners were adjudicated bankrupts on the 3rd
of Aural, and such was the hopeless state of insolvency
in which they were placed at the time these goods were
obtained, that on the day before they were ordered
a writ was out against the prisoners for a sum
of 20W., sad a bill for 1711. was unpaid when it fell due,
so that they could not but have been aware that they were
not in a position either to continue their business or to incur
fresh liabilities.

Evidesoe was given in support of some of these facia,
but as it issecemarily in a very incomplete state we reserve
our report of it until the next examination.
Mr. ()gorge, for the bankrupts, said Mr. Poland had over-
stated the liabilities, which were something like one-half
the amount already mentioned.
Mr. Poland said the liabilities were 21,0001., of which
11,000!. were secured. His original statement was quite
correct.

The further hearing of the ow was then adjourned for
s week.

A fashionatdy-attired young man, about 20 years of age,
who gave the name of Ceenrye Henry, and who described
hinuielf es a jeweller, having no fined remdenoe, was
at the bar before Mr. D'Eyuconrt, charged with &edn(
nine minces fifteen pennyweights of gold, at the &Aran-
radio, 11, Gloncsoterotreet, Clerkeowell, the property of
Um Elizabeth Dyer, value 30f. The prisoner was further
charged with stealing a coat and other articles, value 5/. 10s.
the property of Mr. William Peering.
Wr. Lewis appeared for the prosecutriz ; and Mr. John
Walieling, of Ureat Percy-street, elerkenwell, for the pri-
soner.

—ilia evidence in the case of the robbery of gold was first
taken, from which it appared that the prisoner had for
some time been employed ►at a Jeweller's in Clerkenwell, and
in his business was in the habit of going to the flatting-mills
in Gloucester-greet. Some days since the prisoner was dis-
charged, and had not got another situation. The prisoner
went to the mills early in the morning of the day of the
robbery, and having spoken to prime of the workmen pre-
sent he went away. He returned again in the course of
the day, and while be was there the piece of gold: the sub-
ject of complaint was seen safe on a board, it having only
a moment or so before been softened. The prisoner, who
had • loose coat on his arm, was seen to go near the board,
but no suspicion was entertained of him till he left, when
the gold was missed. Information was given to the police,
and the prisoner, on Friday evening, wee apprehended he
police-constable Barker, 524 N, sad Tyler, 42 G, and saki,
when he was told the charge, he knew "the who
had done this for him." Both before and after the rob-
bery the prisoner had sold pieces of gold at • refiner's in
Barbican, bat the description of gold which he had sold 'duce
the robbery was of the now quality as that which had been
stolen from the flatting mills. Since the robbery the prisoner
bad boa spending • large sum of money, which he refused
to give an account of how he became powered.
Mr. Wakeling said that at present there was no evidence
to Chow that the prisoner had stolen the gold, and it was too
bad to lock a prisoner up on a mere suspiaioe.
The evidesce in the second ars of robbery was that the
prisoner lodged in the mane hoses es the proeerntor, and
that be absconded, taking the coat and other articles with
hiss. None of the property had been recovered.
Mr. Lewis asked for • remand, sad mid on the neat occa-
sion he should be abis to compile the um

Mr. Wakeling asked that bail might be taken for the pri.
softer, whose friends are highly respectable.
Mr. Inyncourt reamoded the prisoner until Satunlav
next, bat cemented to take hail, the prisoner in the sum of
dW., and two sureties in the sum of 3W. each.

CHARGE OF ASSAULT AGAINST A CLERGYMAN.

A charge of a very painful character, in which the
Rev. A. Seaton, rector of Colton, was the defendant, and
Dr. John T. Harland, of Bellamour Lodge, the complainant,
was brought before the magistrates at Itugeley on Thurs.
day. The charge was one of assault, alleged to have been
committed on the 27th of December at Colton Rectory.
The use was opened for the complainant by Dr. Hill of the
Oxford Circuit, who stated that some low yean ago the rev.
defendant became a widower, when Miss Oldham, of Bellamour
Ledge, the sister-in-law of the complainant, amongst many
other kind officer, took charge of the eldest daughter of
the defendant Some abort time ago the defendant was
agiiu carried, and Le eubeetpieutly entertained au idea that
Miss Oldham had alienated from himself and wife the
affections of his daughter. On the 27th ult. the defend.
ant wrote to Miss Oldham, expressing satisfaction that
his wife and daughter were as fond of each other as he
could wish, and that the latter load not wholly lost her
reverence for him, "notwithstanding the miserable elan.
den which she had been doomed to listen to from the
lips of herself and Mn. Harland." The letter, which con-
tained further similar excitable expressions, was briefly
replied to by Miss Oldham, and on the return home of
the complainant a note was written by him to the de-
fendant, suggesting that a meeting should immediately
take place, with the view of ascertaining and inquiring
into the allegations contained in the letter. With this sno
ges tion the defendant immediately coincided, and proposed
that Mrs. Harland., Miss Oldham, and the complainant
should at once confront his daughter at the rectory. The
counsel then prxeeded to detail the circumstances, which
occurred during the interview at the rectory. These were
subsequently borne out in evidence by Dr. Harland and
Miss Oldham. The words "infernal liar" were said to have
been used by the defendant, who also struck the com-
plainant severely several times, and scratched and kicked
him. The rev. defendant conducted his own MO, assisted
by a legal adviser. The language used was not denied; but
it wax argued that the complainant WAS the first to take hold
of defendant's coat collar. The daughter of Mr. Seaters, a
young lady between fifteen and sixteen years of age, was
also mu-mooed as a witness for the defence. She stated
that she did not see the defendant strike the complaisant,
and asserted that she herself struck the complainant's ear,
thereby drawing blood. At the conclusion of the use the
chairman of the magistrates said that everyone who had
heard the case must regret that the rev. defendant bad so
far forgotten himself, and more especially would they be
pained at the defence which had been set up, and which
had done more harm than anything else. The Bench had
come to the unanimous decision that the fine must be the
highest allowed by law, which was 5f., including costs,
or in default two months' imprisonment. —Mu nehtster

PROPOSED NEW RAILWAYS IN LONDON.
The first metropolitan railway bridge across the
Thames has been opened, the works for • wood at Charing-
cross have been begun, and parliament has passed en act for
a third at Blackfriars. The metropolitan line, which is
here to meet and join the Chatham and Dover, and with it
constitute the first railroad entirely through the heart
of London, is likely to be opened in the spring of next
year. This metropolitan line, which will come from
Paddington by Ruston-square and King's.cross, and bring
the traffic of the northern lines to Ferringlon-street,
has a bill for an extension to a more thoroughly ' city sta-
tion" in Finsbury-eireu.s, to which point also it is proposed
to bring the Eastern Counties line. Another city station
scheme has also made its appearance, in the she of a plan
f.ior bringing the North London line from Kingslancl to
1-etrest, Brand-street, saving the round by Bow
lanirrkpney ; and there is also a bill for a line from
Broad-street to Irongate-wharf, on the river. But br
sides conveyance into the very midst of London, and
a railroad through London to save through passengers
and goods the drive along the streets from station to sta-
tion, there is the pressing need of another line of communi-
cation east and west through the town. Accordingly we
have the " West-end and City " scheme for an underground
line from Regent-circus to join the Metropolitan at Holborn-
laidge there is also a proposition to extend the Metmpoli.
tau itself from its Paddington end to Bayswater and Ken-
sington : and the "Charing-cross Railway(City Terminus)"
Olen • line from the Chinn-arose Reamed in St.
Saviour's, Southwark, over the Thamev to Cannon-street,
giving 'a route from that street to Charing-eyes*, the pas-
sengen crossing the river twice. Last there is the Thames
embankment from Westminster-bridge to Blackfriars, with,
it seems, a railroad, and in all probability a new street
eventually from Blackfriars-bridge to the Bank. These
are not the only metropolitan schemes. It is pro-
posed to make the Regent's Canal supply a railroad from
Maiden-lane, in the north, to the Thames at Limehouse,
with branches to existing lines. The Kensington station
line asks leave to extend itself to Prince Albert's-road,
Kensington ; a line to Hammersmith is projected, and •
line from Greenwich to Woolwich. Other branches are
proposed, some of them uniting the great trunk line—a
line from Edgware to King's-cross and the North London
line, another from Hornsey to Hendon, one from Totten-
ham to Homey, a line connecting the Great Northern (at
Barnet) with the North and South Western Junction line
to Kew, lines from Rrentford to Richmond, and Rickmanr
worth to Uxbridge, the latter completing a connexion be-
tween the Great Western and North Western. London
and its neighbourhood form the great mark for the compe-
tition of this session.

DEsTRUCTIVE FIRM AND PROBABLZ LOB or
LlFE.—Yesterday morning, about S o'clock, great alarm
was caused in the neighbourhood of the Borough, owing to
a fire breaking out in the cabinet manufactory belonging to
Mr. Weatherstone, No. 91, Union-street, Southwark.
The building in which the misfortune commenced was nearly
50 feet deep, and comprised store-rooms, workshops, drying-
house, &c., and adjoined sundry houses in the main street,
including the Boni Music-hall the property of Mr.
Gear. Unfortunately when the Lumen arrived, the plugs
were frozen to such an extent that boiling water was
obliged to be used to thaw them, which, of course,
caused some delay, and meanwhile the fire, having plenty
of timber to feed upon, extended with great swiftness,
and eventually the whole of the manufacturiog premises
presented a regular blaze, and the houses in front had their
backs also in flames. The Boro' Music Hull and the
ollshop on the western side were both placed in great
jeopardy, but the moment the plugs were thawed a good
supply of water was obtained, from which the firemen went
to work, but they were unable to get the games extin-
guished until the workshops were burnt down suit the pre-
mises need by Mr. Gear as store-rooms were destroyed,
and the backs of two houses in Union-street severely
damaged by fire. The loss will fall principally on the
Westminster Insurance Company. A young female,_ only
17 years of age, was admitted into the Charing-cross Hosp-
ital-lag night, burned in a frightful manner. She was a
servant at a gentleman's house in Piccadilly. The firemen
and engine from Chandoe-street attended, and the poor
creature was taken to the above hospital wrapped in a
blanket, but upon reaching that institution some of her
clothes were still on fire. They were at once cut off, but
not the least hopes can be entertained of her recovery,
she having been burnt round the neck, face, chest, and
legs. A spark flying out of the grate is supposed to have

THE MURDER AT PLYMOUTH BARRACKS. —After
oar reporter left the police-station on Saturday night the
prisoner told one of the sergeants on duty that it was not
much for him to be hung, as his grandfather was hung
before him, but he hoped that if such was to be the case he
should be hung in front of his regiment. He slept very
soundly during the night, occasionally awaking at inter-
vals, and on Sunday morning he ate a very hearty breakfast.
He had several meals during the day, all of which he
appeared tel enjoy. He has been very composed and
tranquil; appear to understand the position in
i which he s and the nature of the crime he has
committed, or once during the day, and only once, he re-
ferred to it, and asked the sergeant in charge of the place
whether or not he thought he should be bung. Police-cun-
stable Strong gave him a tract to reef, which he accepted
very gratefully, and appeared to peruse it with earnestness.
Daring Saturday night and some port ion of Sunday crowds
of people assembled outside the Guildhall, and eagerly dis-
enema the murder. The murdered now had only re-enlisted
for • terni of ten years, and was about to go on furlough on
Today. Neither Sergeant Jones nor the prisoner are
married. An inquest was opened yesterday on the body of the
deemed. The jury expressed their dissatisfaction at the
conduct of the authorities in not bringing the murderer
before them, as is customary there. The inquest was ad-
journed until this day. Hacked has been examined before
the magistrates, and.remanded until Friday.
