A Frenchman, having a most repulsive looking coun-
tenance, and who at the station-house refused to give his
name and address, and who afterwards said it was George
Mira ut, of 18, Friday street, City, °Bauman, was charged
with committing a burglary at a jeweller's shop, 131,
High-street, Camden-town, of which Mr. John William
Tyler is the owner.
Inspector Cornelius Cocks, Division, watched the case
on belielf of the Commissioners of Police.

The prisoner intimated that he could not speak English,
and Mr. d'Eyucourt informed him that upon a future occa-
sion an interpreter would be present.
James Darrell, police-constable, 182 S. said shortly after
two o'clock that morning he heard the breaking of glass,
and on proceeding to the spot, Mr. Tyler's shop, he found
part of a shutter broken away, and a square of plate
glass in the shop window broken. Witness saw a man
running away, and he sprang his rattle and that man was
pursued by another constable. Outside the shop, on the
pavement, witness picked up twenty-six gold studs.
Inspector Cocks produced the half of the shutter which
bad been picked up on the pavement; also a beautifully-
finished piece of mechanism representing • centre-bit ;
also a square of black oil-cloth, and at each corner was a
piece of shoemaker's wax. At the request of Mr. d'Eyn-
court, Inspector Cocks explained the use of the articlea,
and said that right across the shutter and underneath the
bar twenty-eight holes were bored about the size of a
shilling, and within an eighth of an inch of each other.
To show the ingenuity of the burglars to avoid detection,
they filled it up with dark putty, resembling the colour of
the shutters. A constable going round hie beat, and
casually looking at the shutters, would at once perceive
the holes bad they not been carefully plugged with the
putty. The effect of these holes being so cloae was as if
the abutter bad been sawn through. The lower part of
the shutter had only to be lifted out. This use of the oil-
cloth wan to adhere to the window, so as to prevent the
noise of the smashing of glass to be heard.

Mr. Bosley, instructed by Mr. Dubois, solicitor, a few
days ago made an application to Mr. Knox for warrants
against Thomas Joseph George, Michael James Salmon,
and others, for perjury and conspiracy to extort money
from Mr. John Denman under the following circum-
stances.

111T.Ilesley said that in the month of December last
Mr. Denman, a gentleman well known in connexion with
the turf, advertised for offices for the purpose of esta-
blishing a turf commission agency, the advertisement
setting forth the purposes for which the offices were to
be used and the advertiser describing himself as &member
of Tattersall's. Thomas Joseph George, a money lender
and solicitor, residing at No. 14, Piccadilly, replied to the
advertisement, stating that he had some rooms to let, and
that he knew the purpose for which they were wanted ;
and upon this Mr. Denman took the rooms and paid 1501.,
a year's rent, in advance, and he hadnot been in posses/non
long before an attempt was made to extort the sum of
SOUL from him, accompanied by threats that unless certain
terms were agreed to the place should be indicted as a
betting place. Proceedings—Mr. Denman certifying the
attempted extortion were subsequently taken before
V. or Malin', and an injunction was applied
for against Mr. Denman to restrain him from carrying on
bunineas, an affidavit setting forth that crowds of persons
collected about the place for the purpose of betting.
Mr. Seeley said he was prepared with evidence to show
that in the proceedings taken before Vice-Chancellor
Melina perjury had been committed by Mr. George and
his witnesses, who bad absconded from 'Co. 14, Piccadilly.
Mr. George was not to be found at his residence, North
Bank, Regent's-park and there was every reason to
believe that he had left the country, and an ejectment had
been issued against him and others by the euperier land-
lord of No. 14, Piccadilly. The cause before the Vice-
Chancellor was left undecided for the purpose, it was
believed, of enabling Mr. George and his witnesses to get
out of the way. The result of the proceedings taken
against Mr. Denmun was that his business had been grearay
injured.
Alter a long conversation between Mr. Knox and Mr.
Bexley of a purely legal nature.
Mr. Knox said that be considered the pending of pro-
ceedings before Vice-Chancellor Malin. would prevent him
gran the warrant.
re yln Mr. Knox,
Mr. is said the proceeding,. in Chancery stood over
till the November term.
Mr. Rao{ said he would have the depositions sworn ;
he would take time to peruse them, and give his decision
on a future day.
Mr. Dubois attended yesterday when
Mr. Knox said he bad mandated with great attention
what had been stated to him by Mr. Bentley as well as
the substance of the tafennations. It appeared to him
that the charge of oonspiracy must fail for the present, in-
asmuch as there was no evidsnoe of any overt act in fur-
therance of the alleged conspiracy save the acts of the
parties in the course of the proceedings before Vies-Chan-
cellor Melina. Till those proceedings had been
to • termination he could not interfere. With regard
the charge of fraud, • mere misrepresentation on the
part of George to the applicant that crowds assembled
round the door iu Pi illy, when It was perfectlywithin
the knowledge of both Fatties that the was
untrue, that was not enough. When the proceein
Chancery had been brought to a termination, Mr. Dft.
man could apply again.
