brought before Mr. Comb', charged with attempting to
steal a valuable gold watch hem the person of George
Kent, in the pit of the Victoria Theatre.
The prosecutor said that he was a commercial traveller,
and resided at Somers-town. The previous night he was in the
pit of the Victoria Theatre,and about 10 o'clock he was much
11:7up by a vet of young fellows near him, and he felt
01 watch go. He looked round awl saw his watch in the
hand of the prisoner, and he lost oo time in laying bold of
him and taking the watch from him. The prumuer called
ont, " Let me go ; you'll strangle me ;" and several others
urged him to let the prisoner have hi. liberty. He, how-
ever, retained hold of him until a constable came up, and
he pee him into custody.
Mr. Combo asked if the prisoner had got the watch from
his pocket
Witness replied in the affirmative. He took it out of the
prisoner's band.
The prisoner denied the prosecutor's assertion. He was
trying to get a better seat in front of the prosecutor, and in
maim: him he struck him a violent blow. He (prisoner)
turned round and asked him what he meant, when the pro-
genitor charged him with stealing his watch and chain.
Mr. Combo told him that the prosecutor took the watch
from his hand. What hail he to say to that!
Prisoner replied that he had ootLisg to may.
Mr. Comte asked whether he was known to the police?
Barrington, 3.2 L, the officer on duty at the theatre, said
he had frequently seen the prisoner there, but he did not
know anything against him.
Mr. Combo told the prisoner that he had no doubt as to
his avocation, therefore he would sentence him to two
months' hard labour in Wandsworth Howe: of Correction.

THAMES.
The clerk to Mr. It. C. King, a solicitor, of Creat Corson.
street, Russellaquare, applied for the second timo to Mr.
Woolrych, for an order to compel the restoration of certain
moneys and property belonging to the let,' Mrs. Mary
Enoiley, of Stepney, who wan murdered, or for the magis-
trate's opinion as Co what course ought to be pursued by
the police, who had the money and property in their poo-
-1 session.
Mr. Woolrych said be had carefully perused the papers
which hail been left with him. An applirition had been
made to him to order an inspector of police, who tcok charge
of 48/. in money, *gold ring, and a cheque for 101., to deliver
the same to Mr. Ye. they. the receiver ispwoioted by order of
the Court of Chancery. He could not make any order. The
man was not one in which he could give a judicial decision.
He had no hesitation in saving the appointment of the re-
ceiver by the Court of Chancery was perfectly regular and
unexoeptionable, and, ell he was appoiuted •to collect
and get in the outstandiug estate of Mary Emaley,"
be was clearly entitled to the money and pro-
perty which the police had taken possession of
after the murder. The money awl propeute were
produced at the trial of the murderer, James Mullins,
and the cheque was an important piece of evidence. They
were no louger necessary for the purposes of justice, and
his opinion was tlic receiver was entitled to the possession.
The Clerk--Mr. Yeachey is under heavy recognizance, to
fulfil his duties in a proper manner, and he is bound to
give an account of the outstanding estate of the deceased
to the Court of Cliiiiicery. An application has already been
made without success to the Commissioners of Police ; and
after your worship's expression of opinion another applies,
Mon will be made. . . _

Mr. Wool rya —Who ham the motley sad property of the
deeeeeed which is the subject of this application?
Inspector Griffin, of the K division, replied that the money
and property were in the safe keeping of Inspector Hayes,
at the station•house next door. _

Mr. Woolrych—There is no reason to keep them at all.
Inspector Griffin—The money and property will be given
up now, no doubt. There have been so many claimants to
the estates. money, and effects of the late Mrs. Emsley,
that it bet been found netreary to use great caution.
Mr. Woolrycli Assuming those documents put before
onto be genuine, /dr. Peachey, the receiver, ought to be put
in possession of everything.
Inspector Griffin—Very well, air.
William irons, a bookseller, in Jubilee-street,
