pair of Kitson on him.
Thomas Itrydshow, servant to the revereud gentleman
°ftimati" at the dupe', sad—Whilst tl,presons were
in dispel yestrday afternoon I heard great noise,
and going out saw this man, and he was standing
looking down the street after a horse which I thought he
owned, and is let out for rides at twopence a head
to boy,. I cautioned him, and he said he would discon-
tinue it, but ho did not, and the shouting of the boy. and
clattering of the horse's feet wines mess nuisance to the
inhabitud.J. I called the polies constable and he took Lim
into custody. _

The prisolar, in answer to the cbarg; said be bad four
little children, and no wife. Ho was not the owner of tho
horse, and if ho had let it out be would have had more
money, whereas he bad only one sixpence.
Mr. Newton said that there was some doubt about the
ownership of this animal, and it might not be safe to eon-
vict, but lie had no doubt that a great nuisance was com-
mitted. He warned the prisoner and discharged him.

SOUTHWARK.
ICTIOLIMALE SNUGGLING ON DOSED FOREIGN STEAMISES.
Watwni Andrews, the steward of the steam ship Ger-
mania running between the port of London end ILuuburg,
was brought! before Mr. Partridge charged wills concealing
on board the above vessel four pounds sada half of foreign
manufactured tobacco, one pound and a half of cigars, and
*lout a gallon of brandy, with intent to defraud her
Majesty.
it appeared from the evidence of Mr. R. G. Batt, one of
the examining officers of her Majesty's customs, that on
the arrival of the Germania at her moorings, off Henley
dorm, ho went on board to perform his duties, and after
examining different portions of the vessel he proceeded to
the steward's deu-troent, where he saw the prisoner, ar.d
nut the seal on the stores. Ifs then asked the prisoner
if ho had anything liable to duty. He replied
that he had not, but on examining the cupboards
he found. concealed behind some boardr, four pounds and
a half of tobacco, ono pound sod a half of cigars, and
nearly a gallon of brauoy, ail of which was of foreign
manufactuie.

The prisoner said, in answer to the charge, that Le put
the things away to use on tho return voyage. lie had no
intention o smuggling them ashore.
Mr. Bat, told ors worship that if the prisoner had not
intended to convey them ashore he woeld have shown
them, and they would have been sealed up with tlir
others. Staug,,ling was carried on to an enormous extent
y the crews of the foreign stermere, and it was difficult
to detect the stewards, who had such opportunities.
Mr. Partridge asked what wore the value and duty.
Mr. Batt replied, 2/. 14s. Gd. altogether.
Mr. Partridge observed that it was a very bad caw, mid
as a caution to other stewards he ordered him to pay
1!. 95., bring double the value and duty, and in default of
payment he should commit him for a month.
