W.FBTIIINSTER.

The Rer. Henry oray, formerly chaplain of St. Cross
Hospital, Winchester, was placed at the bar on remand,
before Mr. Arnold, charged with stealing various articles
from railway stations.
Mr. Arnold said that Mr. Haines, of the George and Blue
Beer, had mitten him a letter about the prisoner which
was highly improper.
Mr. Whiffle, the solicitor for Mr. Holloway, said that
the prisoner owed Mr. Haines a small sum. Mr. Haines
had been to the House of Detention, and said that if be were
paid he would not appear against the prisoner; otherwise
he should do so.

WhallOUked that the pipers in reference to St.
0004 Hospital might be given up.
Superintendent Carpnter said he wished to retain them,
u he thought he should be able to show that the prisoner
bad been obtaining money nadir false pretence.
The prisoner. having looked at the document., said that
the officer was quite welcome to keep them. An examine.
Lion of the document, would tell in hi. favour.

Mrs. Eley, who was examined on a former ccouicm, was
called, and said she was sure the prisoner was the person
who walked away with the portmanteau from the Victoria
Station.

Mr. Robinson, from the South Eastern Railway, said the
CMS had been remanded for the attendanos of the Rev.
Thomas Gregory. That gentleman was now its Switzerland,
and from a conversation he had with a friend of his he
found it would be necessary to send to Switzerland for him.
He asked the magistrate for a summons against Mr.
Gregory.
Mr. Arnold said be could not Mule a summons against •
person who was out of his jurisdiction. He should have
no hesitation in granting a summons when Mr. Gregory
returned. Were there any more Mel
It was stated that there were two more cam in connexion
with the Brighton elation ; but Mr. Saunders, the represen-
tative of the company, said be should not be able to com-
plete them that day. Some other cues against the prisoner
were also hinted at.
_

Tcliigeagioiding an umbrella was then proceeded with.
Police-constable .0 B produced a silk umbrella, which
was stolen from the South Western Railway station on the
19th of August. It belonged to Mr. Busby, the coroner
of Chesterfield, and was found in the prisoner's possession.
A letter from Mr. Busby was read, stating that he should
be willing to come up to prove that the umbrella was his.
Another charge was that of stealing a dressing-case from
the South Western statics. It was the property of Mr.
Belbis, of the East India Chamber, Leadenhallstreet. A
razor strop from the case was produced.
Mr. Whiffle objected to portions of the case being pro-
duced. He should prove that the prisoner bought the strop
at Mechem, in Leaclenhall.street, and that he was disabled
by illness from getting out on the 19th of August, the day
he was alleged to have stole, the things. It was unfair to
the prisoner thus to open cases, as they got into the papers
and created much prejudice against the prisoner.
Mr. Arnold said the cases had better be completed next
week, sod with that view he should remand the prisoner
until Thursday next.
The prisoner observed that last Friday he called attention
to the fact of persons having come to see him for the pur-
pose of identifying him. Since that time he Lad been sub-
jected to the greatest indignities, whole rows of policemen
having been brought to see him. (The inspector of police ex-
plained to the reporter that it is a practice to take the pollee
round the House of Detention every Saturday, and during
the time they are there the prisoners are obliged to stand
at their cells. By this means many old offenders have been
recognised.)
The Magistrate said he bad no jurisdiction. The prisoner
could complain to the visiting magistrates or to the Secre-
tary of State.
The prisoner urged that while such a course was adopted
no man's life, or perty, or character was safe. At the
proper time he should show that at the time he was accused
of committing the robberies he was physically unable to
leave the house. Such a courser that he had complained
of was a sort of premium to the police and others to say
they could identify men, whether they did so or not. It
was perfectly illegal and uecorstitutional.
Mr. Arnold said he had rather not argue the matter with
the_prismser.
The prisoner was again remanded until Thursday next.

SOUTHWARK.

William, Bartlett Liieisiirlea Storer, warehousemen in
the tea department at Beale's-wharf, Mill-lane, Tooley-
street, were brought up for final examivation, charged with
stealing a large quantity of tea, and James Harris,
wholesale to merchart, No. 14, Laogbourne-cbambers, Fen-
church-street, was charged with receiving the same, knowing
it to be stolen.

Mr. Frederick John Bosley end that his father was the
rtor of Beale's-wharf, and they had there large quan-
eEr tea bonded belonging to different merchants, and
chiefly for public sale at Mincing lane. Before the sale.
were effected they exhibited the tea, and dealers came
to inspect and draw samples. Those persoor were
required to produce to the foreman an order, signed
and issued by Mr. Thomson, the secretary of the
Millets -lane Brokers' Association. Then they are
to carry away sample. on giving an equiva-
lent in quantity and quality. Bartlett and Storer were er
ppdto the show rooms of their tea vrarehouge, and were
well acquainted with all the rules of the trade. It was
their duty to see that all persons drawing samples complied
with those rules and sign • book kept for that purpose. On
Saturday last they had • show of tea, and the names of
several s who drew sample. were down, but the
s name was not.
Georg Frederick Strnger, • detective °Moor, bad been
watching the prisoners since the early part of July lest. On
Saturday, the 14th inst., about ball-put one in the after-
noon, he saw Harris enter the warehouses at Beales.whart,
and in a minute or so witness followed him, provided with
a sampling order. He found Harris sitting at • table, and
Bartlett brought him several percale of tea on a tray, which
Harris picked op and put in his lag. Storer brought him
some also which he placed with the others. Storer attended
to witness, and asked for the production of his sampling
order, which he showed him ; and after he bad drawn tbs
samples, Bartlett called him to sign the book produced.
Witness saw Harris leave the warehouse with his bag with.
out doing so. He followed him out into Tooley-street,when
he entered a timber-yard, and banded his bag to a boy to
carry. He went up to them and told Harris he was • de-
ileum °Meer, and wanted to know what be had in his
beg. Harris replied that it was tea, and that he bed it
from Beale's, but be could not say of what description it
was. Witness asked him what quantity he had, when he
said, " Really, I can't say. Can yen remember all the
samples you take If you can you are clever." Witness
then took him to Bone's-wharf, and on the way said to him,
"Of course you have given return. in for what you have
received" He replied that he had when he drew the samples.
He then took Harris to the station-house and searched him,
but no sampling order was in his possession. In his tag he
found eight parcels of tea, weighing 2ilbs. There were also
a canvas bag containing 7Alte., and about 211 hr. weight
loose at the bottom of the bag. Witness afterwards went
to the prisoner Harris's office, in Langbourne-cliambers,
Feschurchatreet, and found nearly three hundredweight of
tea. On the 13th of July last witness followed Bartlett to
Harrim's place with • bag containing something, sad he
came away with it empty. On Monday. the Pith, Wed-
nesday, the 17th, and ou the 24th and 2'ith August, be saw
him go there again with bags full of something. He had
also met Harris coming from Beetle's-wharf with a bag, and
on the same evening he saw Bartlett go to Harris's.
Mr. Begley (recalled) identified the tea tonal is Harris's
bag as a portion taken from tea in their warehouses. He
compared it with samples he had drawn that day, and it
commentated.
Mr. Wooteer having given other evidence for the prose-
canoe, called upon his worship to commit all the prisoners
for trial.

Mr. Fletcher, for the prisoners, said they would reserve
their dcfeoce. . .

Mr. Burch/au then committed them, and refused to accept
