Mr. Edwin James was about to re-examine the witness,
when
Mr. Serjeant Ballantine said he would not trouble Ms
friend to call any medical gentleman to prove more particu-
larly the birth of the defendent in this action, because be
thought they must believe the evidence of Sir Jamb Pax-
ton upon that point. This was a matter undoubtedly of

fendant.

upon eeveral occasions. One lot emulated of six pairs of

ment of Messrs. Moses. During the I. two rem I was

Mr. Lewis (to Mr. Stedman)—Do you want to ask the

Mr. Stedman—No; I would not put a question to such •

W. Williams, a grerrid—About • twelvemonth
ago I was employed by ymond to remove mere begs con-
taining boots; I have some recollection of Pickering. The
bags were carried into • house in esrtwright-npare. I
think there were four bags. Diamond told me on the
joinery that the landlord had put a dieter Into his house
ler reM which mused him to remove them. The bags came
from a b•bies shop at the corner of Redgatemourt. I will
not sweet that Pickering Is the man who maisted Desmond
to mane the tags.
Mr. .I. P. Mumfued, superintendent of police at St. Katha-
rine Ducks, was called for the purpose of proving that it
was Impossible for any paeans In the docks to have opened
the boxes and abstracted their contents between the time of
their arrival and their shipment for Melbourne.
Mr. Louis lemberg, the prosecutor, said—l saw the goods
mentlensd in the bill produced packed in boxes. I was pre-
sent when sax of the boxes were delivered to Maybery. He
took them in the middle of the day. My orders to the carter
were that the goods wen either to be delivered at the docks
en the day they left my premises, or to be returned to me the
mine day. The boxes have been returned to me from Mel-
bourne, and they contain rubbish. The total amount I
have lost by thh robbery up to the present time is about
7001.
Mr. Lewis, at this stage of the proceedings, asked for •
further remand.
The Lord Mayor—Collins, Weartby, and Reynolds, will

The prisoners were then libeeoted, with the neeption of
Pickering , who wasunable to procure bail.
Bidwell! Steel, a shoemaker, who had been remanded, but
admitted to bail upon the charge of having waived some
boots stolen from MOW/. Moses, appeared in the place
allotted to defendant..

The charge againet the defendant rested entirely upon the
uncorroborated evidence of Demand, who, upon a former
occasion, mid he had sold him some of Mersa. Homes

pr r tLewis
r.said he did not intend to offer any further evi-
dent* against the defendant.
The Lord Mayor—Then be will be discharged.
Steel—My lord, I complain of the course that bag been
adopted towards me by the prosecutors. I wan given into
custody without the slightest ground milting for any charge
•gainat me. I know nothing whatever of the boots belong-
ing to Messrs. Moms. I have always borne • good charac-
ter, and have been in the habit of working for int rate shape.
This harsh proceeding has totally ruined my character, and
it has nearly killed my wife, who had boen maned but a
few days before I was taken into custody.
The Lord Mayor—l am very sorry to hear this statement,
but it is totally out of ray power to interfere in the matter.
The defendant then left the court.
Mr. Lewis—My lard, the officer, Thomas Ilsyton, who
baa had the conduct of there cases, repeats me to ray that
there is not the most remote foundation for the charge which
the prisoner M'Certby brought against him at a former ex-
amination. Ile felt that the observations which were then
made have done him a great deal of injury, and be is anxious
upon oath to contradict them statements.
The Lord Alayur—Offieers should not Fey attention to
what prisoners say. If they do they will have their time
pretty full occupied.
Ilayton—y My lord, I can't go into the street but what the
people Call after me. They also annoy my wife, tad call
alter my children, " Tour father's a thief."
The Ind Mayor Ton, as • policeman, are subject to all
these things; but you need not pay attention to them.
Thieves will say anything of an officer.

Mr. Superintendent Martin, of the Or division, having
pmdured the usual authority from the Commissionern of
Police to justify the entry anti capture of the defendants,
Henry Dennison, a reapeutwbk booking elderly man, was
smansined, and stated that on Thursday, the 16th MM. he
called at the house of the defendant K nom, in which he leaf.,
from 15 to 20 persons standing in front of a email box, at
the end of the bar, and comed in betting upon homers with
a men who was seated inside. The man in the box, who
was fmniliarly addressed as " Jemmy," was answering quea-
hone respecting the odds against different reef-horsey, the
names of which were inserted in a small Mick book. About

where he found the men "Jemmy" behind a desk mar-
rounded with etirtainn, end in the act of taking bets from
preens who were conntintly thronging in. Several bets of

"Jemmy," who received no fewer than 32 half crowns during
the neon imam of two imam. The defendant Knott was
parent during the whole of the time, but he took no active
part in the proceedings.
Superintendent Martin elated that he vinited the pima that
morning, end on intimating to Knott, who was nerving
behind the bar, that he intended to apprehend him fir suf-
fering betting practice. on the premise., ho denied that his
house was used for such porpoises. There wan no betting
piing on at that time, but on searching a desk at the end if
the bar, the key of which was reluctantly handed to him by
Knott, he found therein the eeverel racing lints and betting
cards now produced. The prionier Knott wan then taken
into cuatody, together with the rent of the defendants, who
were smoking and drinking in the bagatelle room, but he
had no evidence to prove that either of the latter were bet-
ling characters.
After tome observation from Mr. Beard, who appeared en
behalf of the defendant.,
Mr. D'Eynnourt said that the case bad been no fully eata-
blinhed agninnt Knott, that he ohould require him to enter
into his own recognizance in 2002 and to procure two re.

MARLBO ROUE 11-STREET.
Cqiteie 7.mp/0 Erten, holdine a commission in the
militia, 'raiding at No. 64, Queen's-road, Bayswater, wee
charged with the abduction of Rose Goodman, a girl under
16 years of age.
Mr. Morgan waft for the defendant; Mr. Lewis, of Ely-
place, for the complainant.
The charge watt laid under the 9th Geo. IV., cap. 31, see.
22, which provide., "Be it enacted, that if any porron shall
unlawfully take, or cause to be taken, any unmarried girl,
being under the ago of 16 years, out of the posses/don
and against the will of her father or mother, or of any other
person having the lawful care or the charge of her, every
such offender shall be guilty of a miedermanour, and being
auricled thereof, shall be liable to Auffer such puniehment,
by tine or imprisonment,or by both, as tho court shall
award."
Mr. Lewis stated the ram, from which it appeared that
the prisoner formed an aoquaintanee with the girl, then liv-
ing with her parents in London, end that he induced her to
leave England, under promise of making her his wife,
although he was • married man ; that after remaining on the
Continent for several weeks, he left the girl at an hotel at
Mayenos ; that the girl wrote home to her permits, and the
father telegraphed back to the landlord to lave his daugh-
ter detained ; that the prisoner returned to the hotel, paid
the bill, took the girl away to Ostend, and there gave her up
to her father, who threatened to give the prionner into cus-
tody for abduction the first time be saw him in England. The
prisoner was seen in London the /intim evening, and was
given into custody.
Rose Goodman, daughter of the well-known sporting
character known as Gaudy LOV'f, a well-grown, attractive,
Jewish girl, wee then put into the witness-box, and sworn.
She said—l am living with my father' at 31, ()medal-
street, Haymarket. I was eizteen yearsof age last October.
In the month of July last I was residing in the New-
roe], I I momersmith . My mother was then alive,
and my cousin also wart staying with me. I was
out taking • walk on one a:cation, when I made the
acquaintance of the prisoner, who gave me his card, which I
showed to my father and he tore it up, snd was angry. The
planner wee then ltrieid,ear the barracks. In consequence
of something that I was removed to Brighton,
and my mother accompanied me ; but a she war very un-
well, she was unable to walk out with me. I saw the pri-
soner at Brighton, and I walked out with tiro several times,
without the keriwledge of my mother. Before 1 left Brigh-
ten, the prisoner mired are to marry him. He did not my
whether be was single or married, but he said his mother was
a very religious woman, and that he could not marry roe in
England, foe if he married without his gm:ether.* consent, he
should lees several hundreds a year. He asked me my age,
and I told hie. I wee not then sixteen. I told tke Filmier I
would not leave England without being first married. I re-
turned to London in August lest, and went to reside at No.
31, Oxenden-street, with my parentx. After I returned te
London, I met the defendant on two or three occasions,
and the end of the interviews was that I agreed to
leave home with the defendant. I left my home
on the 23rd of August, without the knowledge
of my parents. To induce me to leave my home the defend-
ant raid he was sure his mother would give her eminent when
she knew we were married. On the afternoon of the 23rd
we went by railway, and afterward. crowed over to France.
I met the defendant at the bottom of the Haymarket, mem&
ing to previous appointment. I took nothing with us bat
the clothes I had on. I left all my other clothes and Tay
watch and chain at home. I remained with the defendant
about six or seven weak.. I wrote several letters to the
defendant before we left England.

Was not aware the defendant was a married man. Erlrallre
known he was married she would not have kept up the
acquaintance. She went away with him willingly.
Mr. Morgan contended there was no evidence against the
defendant. The complainant left her father's home volun-
tarily, and in the case of the " Queen is Edwards," where a
servant girl had been induced to elope from service, Baron
Parke held that such • ease did not constitute a charge of
abduetion. Mr. Morgan reed the care at length.
Mr. Lewis contended that the ease in question did not
bear on the Gees beforethe court. The case quoted was that

which no fraudulent statements were made. The act in

quUtio;:tis 9th Geo. IV., contempleted a constructive aa

the ewes of iirirle under 16, on whom undue influence wee
exercised without the knowledge of their parent..
Mr. Bingham—You contend that thu is a constructive
taking away ?
Mr. Lewis—That was his argument.
Mr. Morgan sald his 'view of the act was that there must
be aph yaioal taking away, and in that opinion be was con-

Mr. Bingharn—That the child was taken out of the hones

sical taking you mean, I presume ?
Mr. Mervin—There must be a physical taking. There
was no taking here according to the act. The girl accom-
panied the defendant voluntarily. The mere decoying or
enticing away would not conotituto a case under the 20th
section,

Mr. Bingham—l think there is a sufficient distinction be-
tween this ease and that of the "Queen T. Edward," to in-
duce me to say that the charge must be settled by a higher
tribunal; but I have so much doubt about the matter that I
shall admit the defendant to bail. I must have two sureties
of 2.501., and the defendant's recognisance in 5001 to appear
next Thursday.
The defendant is reported to have been in the Austrian

Jam Collins, a young woman, was brought up for final
szamination on a charge of stealing a gold watch, Albert
chain, and some articles of wearing apparel belonging to her
lets mistress.
_ . _

The so
had been discharged from the service of a re-
tradesman at Brixton on the Ist inst., after about •
month's servitude, and soon after she had left the house a
gold watch and chain and some articles of wearing apparel
had been missed by her late mistress. Six days afterwards
the primmer was apprehended in the company of
MOlllB Priginsere, • drummer in the Guard., dressed
out very sunray in some of her late mistress's
finery. When locked up the prisoner said she had
i beeninduced to commit the robbery by the desire and
entreaties of the drummer who had been in her company
when she was apprehended. She also made • similar mate-
ment before Mr. Norton, and he (Mr. Norton) in consequence
desired that the drummer should be drought before him.
This wan done, when Pridmore, the drummer, mid that the
era time he saw the pnaooer was on the 2nd of April, when
he found her ate pu lic-honse in Knightsbridge, in com-
pany with some of companions. She subsequently got
into conversation with him, said bee name wee Hammond,
that she was the niece of • tradesmen at Brixton, and lived
there with him. They remained together that night, and
on the following morning she gave him a gold watch to
pledge, which ehe said we- her own, and had her initials,
nS. H.," engoeven on the back, and he pawned it in West-
minster for 21. On the following Saturday night he wee
again with the prisoner at a coffee-house in
Fait Smithfield, and on the following morning ehe
gave him • gold Albert chain to dispose of at the shop of a
Jew clothesenan next door. On offering the chain for sale
be was told by • female in the shop he mart bring the gin -per,
end he therefore brought the prisoner from the next door,
and she sold the chain to the female in the shop for 12e. On
hearing thie Mr. Norton desired that the prtooner should
be taken to the chug in question to point out the person who
had bought the chain, end that that person be requeaed to
attend before him.
. . .

Yesterday the party in gyration, Mrs. Dinah Davis, a
Jewess, who keeps what she celled a tailor's ani outfitting
shop at 91, East Broith6eld, attended, and the prisoner, the
proaccutrix, and all the parties were prevent.

The drummer, l'ridmore, repeated him former statement,
and said that Mn,. Davis, then present, was the person whn
had purchased the chain and paid for it in font half-crowns
and two shillings.
Mr. Solomon, who attended on behalf of Mrs. Davis, said
he was instructed to deny the statement of the soldier, and
that he was prepared. with a witness who would satisfy his
worship that the chain in question had been purchassl by a
sailor and not his client. He then called a young fellow
named Edward Cart, a shopman to Mrs. Davis, who MOTe
positively that his misters! refused to purchase the chain :
bur, on the contrary, that it was bought by a smiler who was
present, and Mrs. Davie hrnwlf corroborated his statement.
The drummer declared that the statements of both we re
false, and the prisoner repeated the name assertion.
Mr. Norton observed that he wa. sorry to say that he dis-
believed the statements of Mn. Davit and her witness, and
believed those of the drummer an.l the prisoner. There was
no doubt on his mind that Mrs. Davis had purchased the
chain stolen from the prosecotris, and which cost her 3f.. for
IN., and without again remanding the prismers, and going
seriously into that part of the case, he wished to know what
Mr. Solomon had to say respecting the production of the
chain.
Mr. Solomon, after some consultatim with his client, said
that while Mrs. Davis disclaimed all knowledge of the wo-
pm-tv, she had no objection to hand over 2!. for the poor-box.
The magistrate accepted this, and the prisoner having

•deeded guilty, was sonteuced to dor mouths' hard labour.
the evidence ems not sulfirient to reach the drummer, sad
he was discharged with a severe admonition as to his future
°unclad.
