MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

(Before the Aristaat-Judes.)

The whole of Wednesday and Thetridey mar occupied in
both courts with the trial of cases of the ordinary class of
felony, nothing transpiring of interest to the public gene.
rally.
fo-d Thotaa4 Graves, 19, draper's assistant, and William
Prof', 14, furniture salesman, were indicted for stealing •
large quantity of valuable property, belonging to John
Maples, their master and employer, upholsterer, ac., of 145,
Tottenham.court.rusd ; and Joibt Hardy, upholsterer, of
Curtain•road, Shorediteh (who surrendered in court), was
included in the indictment as • felonious receiver of the
11112110.

Mr. Metcalfe was counsel for the prosecution ; Mr. Sleigh
sod Mr. F. H. Lewis, instructed by Mr. Beard, defended
Hardy.
A considerable degree of interest attached totbis cease, but
the facts lay in n very marrow compass. There being reason
to believe that the prosecutor was being robbed, informa-
tion was furnished to the police, acting upon which,
Lambert, 68 E, found out • brother of the prisoner Pratt,
who gave further information, which led to the apprehen-
sion of his brother and Graves, who bad been in the pro-
secutor's employment, sod also of Hardy, who it seemed
had purchased the property to • comidenble amount, the
trade marks being erased or out off at very much below the
actual wholesale value. That which was produced now in
court, cod found in Hardy's proemial, was worth about
DOC The prisoner Hardy removed • very higk Ammar
from • peat number of his friends and neighbours, but
upon the evidence the jury found all the prisoners Guilty.
Mr. Metcalfe said the amount of property of which the
tor had been robbed was between . and 600 f., as
prosecutor
present ascertained. The prosecutor was disposed
to recommend the two younger prinonen to mercy, and
having said that, he would leave the court, of course, to
deal with the case without any further observation.
The Assistant. Judge sentenced the two youmer prisoners
to twelve months' hard labour each ; and made some very
severe comments upon the conduct of Hardy. He said
he was one of those persons infesting gaiety who were the
means by which young men were induced tomb their employ.
eraaad so to bring themselves to ruin, diegraos,and degluti-
tion in their early life. Such persons were pests. The pri-
soner Hardy had received • good character. It was under
that that he had pursued this nefarioas system at trading.
Notwithstanding the host of Maids who had attended on
his behalf, the character they had given him, and the position
he bad occupied, the court had but one duty to perform in
the interests of justice sad the public ; that was, to piss
upon him an exemplary sentence. The case as one of felo.
mous receiving was • most atrocious one—no words could
dame its enormity ; but taking as lenumt • view of it as
he could, he felt bound to sentence the prisoner to penal
servitude for three years.
(Belize Mr. Payne.)
James Doris, 30, was indicted for stealing an iron chat
and the sum of 101., the property and monies of John
Davis, in his dwelling.house.
Mr. Metcalfe prosecuted ; Mr. Cooper appeared for the
prisoner.
Caroline Davies, of Hemingford-terrace, said that on the
6th of November, while she was in the parlour, she saw
the prisoner corning down stain from the first door, carry-
ing something that was covered over. As witness was not
quite dressed at the time, she celled out to her mother and
sister, and they went after the prisoner. He wee followed
into Matilda-street, where he was seen to drop the iron
chest belonging to the prosecutor, and in which his mousy
wasdeposited. Ile was brought back and given into
custody.
Mr. Cooper addressed the jury for the prisoner, end if.
terwards called • witness named Alexander Pickett, who
said that on the 6th of November he was a patient in the
Free Hospital, Cray's.inn-road, and that morning the pry.
boner called on him, et 9 o'clock, bringing him a clean shirt
and other articles of clothing, and be remained with him
until 10 o'clock, so that it was impossible that he could
have been the person who committed the robbery.
Mr. Payne mutinied up the evidence, and the jury found
the prisoner Guilty.
It was then proved that in 1886 the prisoner was convicted
at the Central Criminal Court of passing counterfeit coin,
sad ranteneed to be in penal servitude for four years.
Hs had been • y convicted for the same offence.
Since the expiration of Ids last sectors be had been the
constant associate of thieves and bad characters.

Mr. Pays, .aid that the priseuer had had two warniap,
ono of imprisosineut and the other of penal eervitoda,
which appeared to have had noeffect in preventing a course of
cnme, for no sooner wee be liberated }rem s term of penal
servitude than he resumed his old practises. For the pre-

,eat offence slot, he ws. 11,1.1 e tote transported for 15
yams, and, with a former coin tetton proved against him, to
s sentence of transportation for the tvrm of his natural life.
The court, however, would refrain from going to the cr.•
tent of either of those terms et punishment, end should
sentence him to be kept in penal servitude for seven years.
The prisoner was te removed from the bar, protesting
that lie was as innocent as a child unborn of the offence
of which he had been ooavicted.

THE POLICE COURTS.

NANBION4IOIIBS.

Brown, a respectable looking man, who has
been for nearly twenty years in the service of Messrs. Horner
and Son, wholesale druggists, in Bucklembury, was
brought before the Lord Mayor for n.-examinatioe upon
the charge of ktealing a small quantity ofjpecricuanha, valise
Is. oil. the property of his masters.
At the commencement of the proceedings Mr. Horner,
the prosecutor, took occasion to call the attention of the
Loot Mayor to a very important ivaccumer in the report of
the first examination of the prisoner, which he was very
anxious to have contradicted. He said it appeared by the re-
port that his firm was being robbed daily and hourly to a
very large amount. This was not what he stated, and what
he really maid was that the " trade" was being constantly
rubbed to a large amount. The statement in question cast
• very serious or upon the character of al! the penious in
their service, for which there was not the slightest ground,
end he was therefore most desire,. tint the statement in
question should be contradicted.
(The atateineut complained of did nut appear in our
paper.]
It was proved that in coneequence .af some suspicioD that
was entertained of the prisoner's proceedings, he was
watched, and was seen to take a small quantity of ipe-
cacuanhu, which be put in paper and placed under his cape,
and when he was sated what he had about him he gave up
the property, stating. that hr intended to give it to a friend,
and he had no intention to rob his employers. It was sup.
posed that he had stolen other , but although
strict inquiries had been made since tLe prisoner had been
in custody, there was no evidence to support such a Aug.
gestion.
. . .

A respectable.lnoking man, who said that his name was
Cousins, addressed the Lord Mayor, and stated that he had
known the prisoner for a long period, and that he was a
very respectable man. He had asked the prisoner to get
him a small quantity of ipecacnanha, as he wished to make
same wine, and he believed that the prisoner did so merely
as an act of kindness, and without any Intention to deprive
his employers of their property.
The Lmd Mayor said it was idle to say that the prisoner
did not intend to deprive his employers of what belonged to
them ; and even if it were true that he bad taken the
article to do his friend • kindness, such a proceeding was
quite unjustifiable, and amounted in law to larceny.
The prisoner was then asked what answer he had to make
to the charge, and he replied that he did not think he was
committing an offence io taking such a triffing article.
The Lord Mayor told hirn that if he disputed the facts be
should have no alternative but to seal the case before a
jury
prisoner then pleaded guilty, and
Mr. Horner, the prosecutor, recommended him to the
merciful consideration of his lordship.
The Lord Mayor mid that there was tin doubt that the
prisoner had been guilty of robbing his employers, and if
e had been convicted by a jury be would in all probability
have received a much more severe sentence than the one he
was about to pronounce. His master, however, had recom-
mended him to mercy, and taking tato consideration the
very serious consequences that must necessarily result to a
man formerly of good character who was %cot to prison,
he should only sentence him to a light punishment, impri-
sonment and bard labour for one month.
Stephen MWreyor, a well-dreamed young man, was charged
with obtaining a silver-plated tee service, ;slue H. 10a,
from Messrs. Turner and Mill, wholesale ironmongers,
Bishopsgate.street Without.
Mr. Beard attended for the defendant. _

The charieaga prirOne---r---a;pea red to be that he
bad gone to the drop of the prosecutors on the Ist of De-
cember, and coked them to seed a tea service to Masers.
Arnold;' office, No. 3, Great St. Helen's, for approval, say-
ing that he expected the captain of a ship to call and look
at the articles. The goods were sent upon the understand-
ing that they were to be paid for, or returned. A day or
two afterwards the prosecutors cent to Great St. Helen's
for the money or the goods, but were unable to obtain
either and the offices, that had been occupied by a person
mined Arnold, were empty.
Meager, the detective officer, intimated that he had reason
to believe that several similar charges could bo brought for-
ward wined the prisoner.
Mr. Beard aakl he was instructed that the defendant
could explain the whole of the tinusactions satisfactorily,
and he asked that he might be remanded for a few days to
give him an opportunity of doing so.
The Lord Mayor accordingly remanded him until Wed-
nesday nest.
Two bill-stickers, named Gray and Brown, were sum-
moned by a Mr. Fowler, who cooked' for sticking bills
upon boards and other places in the City of London, for
unlawfully damaging his property, by. posting bills over his
own upon the boards that were his private property.
The defendants were each tined 2s. 6d. and costa.

Sergeant dull here informed his worship that on a more
careful examination of the voluminous documents that bad
been found in the pinwales of the prisoners, be disco►ered
the bill of an engraver in the Strand for 171. add for showy.
looking engravings for a new institute to be called the
National Institute of London. which was about to be started
bj the Count de Nemours and the present applicant, in-
dependent of M. Martin, and the furniture they bad
taken away was intended for the " new concern." He
(Hull) had furtherucertained that in the month of Decem•
her, alone the Count de Nemours had received in remit-
Maces upwants of MM., and that since his discharge be had
set out for France, fearing, no doubt, the danger of stopping
here longer.
Mr. Dann also informed his worship that M. Martin
had not at all afforded the amistance he promised in eluci-
dating the matter, upon which
Mr. Norton remarked that this only confirmed the opinion
he entertained of the matter. He refused to give the appli-
cant a single shilling, or make any order respecting the
money found on the prisoners or the goods taken away by
them fur the present.
The applicant left the court rather chapfallen.
THAMLS. - -

Nr J•••• 01,, a manal:;;tii years of age, was charged
with stealing two overcoats from two boys awed Mawr
and Norris's. . . _

The boys were passing along the New-road, Whitschapel,a
few days ego. each with an overctot on his arm, and the pi-
souer carat up to thetn in a eery great litany, and said, "Herr,
laws here is a treat for you. lit, to No. 16, Simpson-street,
mina the corner. and ask for some white mice and rabbits ;
there are plenty of them there ;" and at the same time
pulled the two coats from the boy• He also said, "Go to
No. 16, the second turning, and ask fur the white mice,
rabbits, and all George's things." The children, who were
taken. by surprise, immediately proceeded to the house in
question, and could find neither white mice nor rabbits. Oa
returning to the spot where they left the prisoner, be was
not to be found. The two 'coats were afterwards found in
the possession of • pawnbroker, who produced them, and
said the prisoner had pawned them.:
The prisoner pleaded guilty.
Mr. Relfe—Guilty. Yes, there is no doubt of your guilt
whatever. It is • most rascally kind of robbery to accost
poor childreologts streets and steal their coats.
. .

Inspector Holloway, of the H division, said the prisoner
was an old thief and a dangerous one, and had been in penal
servitude for four years for a felony.
Mr. Selfe—Where is the officer to prove that!
Inspector Holloway-1 don't know where to find the
COLlNtable at present.
Mr. Selfe—Then I shall convict the prisoner summarily,
and sentence him to six months' imprisonment and hard
labour. I should have been better pleased if the boys had
worn their coats, not carried them upon their arms.
Mrs. Norrish, the mother of one of the boys, here said
that Robert Messer took off his coat and her boy did the
tune.

Mr. S,Ve —Tell your boys to wear them in future.
