our lice to receive • telegram from the preceding station of
a train being there. The preceding station to oars is the

This ride applies to excursion trains as well as to regular
tieing. I got telegrams of all the six exrentior. trains in
the morning. 0., their return I received a telegram from
Ifinchluv.roal st 7.10 that an excursion train had peened
there, and I repeated the signal to that station to intimate
Its reception. I then telegraphed forward to Kentish-

ismer I got from Keutish•toen was, en usual, a repe-
tition of nun own message. Before that I had had, " Lute

that he had not hod an opportunity of communicating

James Brett, one of the detectives, said that if the

A. C'oc/mtn,, another letter-carrier, whn bad been found
drunk in the Strand, with a letter ountsining a cheque for
457. opened in his bat, wee discharged, the owner of the
cheque being too ill to attend.
The facts have already appeared.

Whaaheater, and rotor of Braweaster. Norfolk, was again
Owed at the bar before Ir. Arnold, charged with cateosive
robbes .at railways.
The particulars of the former esaniinatiou hare been
already detailed.
Mr. Steinman, barrister, r before, appeared on behalf of
the accused.

Mr. Hnaleriek, station master or the London, Dover, and
Chatham Railway, Victoria Station, Pimlico, was re-
called, and in cross examination by Mr. Stammers said—l
gave directions to Mr. Wellsman about the reticule the
prisoner is charged with stealing, and it was in cense.
gurney placed upon the mantel-piece of the tinit-class
waiting-room. I did not see him place it there. I gave him
the hag from the lost property office. It was directly after
the 6.40 train had gone out. Two or three minutes after
Mr. Wellman hid placed the bag in the room and had
himself left, I saw prisoner come to the door, loiter about
for a little while, and then return to the room. When I gave
Mr. Wellman the beg I told him there was a suspected person
in the waitiog.room, and that was the prisoner. I suspected
he was a thief.

Mr. Stammers—Was not the reticule put there because
you thought it might be taken by the prisoner
Mr. Bruderick—Yes; if dishone.tly diuposed.
Mr. Stammers---You asked bim afterwards if he had any
objection to Lis hag being examined, and he said he had
not

Mr. Broderick—He dd.
Mr. stammrrs—Aud you were highly delighted to find
the reticule there?

Mr. Broderick—l was not disappointed.
Mr. Wellman. goods agent to the company at the Wil-
low-walk, Bermondsey, was then cross-examined. and said :
I received instructions to pot the reticule in the first-class
waiting-room. I went into the room with my hat on, as if
I was an ordinary person going by the railway ; there WWI
no one there but the prisoner and myself. After I left the
room with the prisoner only in it, I watched for twenty-
live minutes. Shortly after I had left the room I looked in
as I passed the door, and saw that the prisoner bad moved
from where be had been sitting to the other IMO, near
the reticule. Prisoner then came out and watched me,
and I then went and stood at the refreshment bar. I never
lost eight of the first-class waiting-room door. No other
man came out. I did not go away at all. lam quite sure
I put the reticule there to see whether the prisoner would
take it or not.
_ _

?dr. Stammers urged that as the reticule had been placed
in the room for the express purpose of giving the prisoner
an opportunity of taking it, the act of doing so could not
be • larmay, as to meditate that offence the taking must
be against the will or without the consent of the owner;
this, be contended, was the very essence of the offence,
and cited several cases in support of his view. He added
he thought it moat abominable and damnable to tempt any
man to theft.

Mr. Arnold observed that the same rule would apply to
tradesmen marking money to detect dishonest servants, of
which there had been hundreds of convictions. The point
raised by Mr. Stammers was quite new, so very novel &snot,
he thought, to have much weight io it.! It was not because
the reticule was merely put in his way that any wish was
shown he should steal it, and he must add that, as a person
so suspected, he could not see that there was anything so
abominable and diabolical in putting the reticule in the room
to ascertain whether the prisoner was the thief. It would
be open to Mr. Stammers to repeat his view of the law
betel e another tribunal, to which the prisoner would be sent.
Mr. Saunders, • gentleman from the office of Messrs.
Faithfull, Son, and Coale, solicitors to the London,
Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company, said there
were two charges against the prisoner for stealing • port-
mantesu from the Pimlico station and a leathern bag from
the Brighton station, which, after being rifled of its contents,
was exchanged for another at the South Eastern terminus ;
but, iu order to take the came in rotation, which became
necessary, the attendance of a material witness, who was
now absent, was required.
Mr. Carpenter said there was also a charge of stealing a
dressing-case from the South Western terminus.
Mr. Arnold remanded the prisoner for a week, and um-
mosses were granted to compel the attendance of the ne-
cessary witnesses.
SOUTHWARK.
_ _

A 4.0 Warner, Ice conductor of a Bayswater omnibus,
badge No. 3,361, was aummoued for receiving and exacting
eightpenee more than his fare from Alderman Sir James
Duke.

—The complainant said th►t on Monday he got into de-
fendant's omnibus in Oxford-street to proceed to the Lon-
don-bridge railway station. When they arrived at the
Bank all the passengers got out except himself. When on
London-hridge he gave the defendant a shilling to take his
fare of fourpence, but lie never gave him the Amigo, and
with great impudence denied ever receiving the shilling.
He (Sir James) was certain that he had given it to him,
consequently as protection to the public he took the pre-
sent proceedings.
The conductor said that he had no recollection of Sir
Janie. Duke giving him the shilling.
Mr. Comhe observed that his conduct was very bed, and
as a caution to him and others he should fine him 20s.
and costa, and order him to refund the eightpence be had
exacted.

Gmr.ne Jarkenn, • waterman, and a very bad character, '
was brought up in custody of llengough and Burch, detective
°dicers of the Id division, charged with having in his powes-
siou • hundred weight of foreign manufactured tobacco
fur which the duty had not been paid.
11..iigough, police-cousteble 82 M. said that about 12 o'clock
on Thursday night he was with Burch near Horselydown-
stairs, when they saw the prisoner and another man carry-
ing something covered with • sack. Witness seized hold of
the prisoner and found the bundle to contain foreign manu-
factured tobacco. The other man made his wane, and two
other ruffians came up and assaulted witness with the view
of rescuing the prisoner. Burch could render him no as-
sistance, as he had to take charge of the tobacco.
lurpector M•latosh said he examined the contents of the
bag owl found it to contain near half • hundred weight of
foreign manufactured tobacco.
In answer to the charge, the prisoner said that • man
hired him to carry the bag, and he was not aware of the
contents until the constable stopped him.
Mr. Beverley, the assistant solicitor of the Customs, in.
formed his worship that the prisoner was an old smuggler,
and had been convicted before both for smuggling and
attacks on the revenue officers.

Mr. Combo said that the case was proved to his
satisfaction ; therefore he should inflict the penalty of
100/. or six months. The act of parliament gave him no
alternative.

The prisoner was committed.

THAMES

Charles Hall, the steWCtrtroTihe second cabin of the
Belgian steamer Baron Osy. was brought before Mr.
rielfe charged with smuggling bib,. of foreign manufactured
tobacco.

Mr. Thomas Smith, Custom-house officer, said he stopped
, the prisoner as be was leaving the Baron 08v on Thursday
evening, and asked him if hr had anything liable to duty, to
which he replied in the negative. He searched the pri-
soner and found upon him Vbs. of compressed tobacco and
a few cigars. The tobacco was round the prisoner's body.
The prisoner--Not by a strap.
Mr. Safe—What has that to do with it! You were
bringing the tobacco out of the ship before Use duty was
paid.
The prisoner—I did not deny having tobacco upon me.
I said I had none in the basket I wee carrying.
Mr. Sells—That sort of pleading will not do here.
The prisoner said that be purchased the tobacco at Ant-
werp to sell to Wilms on their passage to London. Some-
times there were as many as d) sailors in the second cabin
oomiug home from Antwerp, where they were paid off.
On the hut voyage there wero only 10. lie could not
sell all the tobsom, and put it round his body to bring it
on shore.

Mr. Selfe—Asl defraud the revenue. What is the value
and duty oe the tohaece?
Smith-21. 17s. 3id.
Mr. fzelfe—People are beiog continually brought here
from the Baron Osy. It is a smuggling vessel. I fine the
winner Ti.— . . .

The primmer—Goal—here's the money.
WANDSWORTH.

Samvel arCaul, • tally-man, living at Knightsbridge,
appeared before Mr. Dayman, to answer the complaint of a
young married woman, named Ellen Tore, for using abusive
and insulting language to her in a public thcomighfare,
whereby a breach of the peace might have been occasioned.
The defendant pleaded not guilty.
It appeared from the evidence of the complainant that
ahe contracted • tally bill with the defendant unknown to
her husband, and for the purpose of preventing it coming
to his knowledge, it wax agreed that the payments
should be /MN at the house of her mother, in Elia-
beth•plao, Wandsworth-read. The agreement was
also for the payment of one shilling weekly, and
on the 28th ult. she went to her mother's for
the purpose of meeting the defendant as usual. When he
called on that occasion she was only able to give him six-
pence, but she promised to give him eighteeupence in the
following week. This offer did not appear acceptable to
the defendant, for he commenced abusing her, called her a
swindling young thief, and mid oho did not mean anything of
the kind. He also called her by a very offensive epithet,
then clapped his hands, and Lod all the neighbours were
looking at her. He created quite a disturbance before he
went away.
The defendant mid the greater portion of her atatement
was untrue, but the complainant's mother was called and
confirmed her evidence.
Mr. Dayman thought the case proved, and tined the de.
fendant 10e. and costs.
The money was paid.

THE LATE MURDER IN ST. GILES'S. —From the
improvement in this man's state the authorities have inti.
mated that on Wednesday or Thursday next lie will be ads
to appear at the police-court to undergo an examinatioo.
