been concerned with two others not yet apprehended in
feloniously breaking and entering the dwelling house of
Hr. Robert Bentley, tea chest manufacturer, of 25,
I'rinoes-street, and stealing therefrom a bundle of wearing
llPParel•
The prosecutor found three men, one of whom was the pri-
soner, mill' shop !dont 5 o'clock on the evening of thefith inst.
They were as isting in the removal of a bundle of wearing
apparel, and on catching sight of him they dropped it
and took to their heels. Prosecutor followed in pursuit
of the prisoner, to whom he called out "VU make
you smart for title, my gentleman." Prisoner re-
plied (the chase continuing the while), " I have
had seven years and will do another for you."
The prosecutor lost sight of the prisoner, but half en hour
afterwards he wee called to the station to indentify the
prisoner, whom he immediately recognised. In cross-
examination the prosecutor stated that it was the prisoner
who carried the bundle, and that he was positive as to the
indentity. The door of the house had been broken in.
Sarah Bentley, a daughter of the prosecutor, gave cor-
roborative evidence, and also identified the prisoner as one
of the men she maw in her father's house.

aished by the prosecutor coincided with that of the pri-
soner, proceeded to the lodgings of the latter in Brick-lane
and took him into custody. Upon being informed of the
charge he averred that it was a mistake as he had not
left Brick-lane all day.
Prisoner declared his innocence, and was fully com-
mitted for trial.

IaLZOLD ROBBERY BY BIORISIeS2M7. —EXTRAORDINARY

PROCEEDINGS.
William and Thongs Taylor were placed in the dock
on a charge of stealing wearing apparel, chimney]
men* and other articles belonging to Mary
widow, living at No. 19 Portland-place, Clapham-road.
The prosecutrix said her husband was buried on the 3rd
of December. On Thursday last she went out to seek a
situation and when she returned home she found the psi.
*ones* in her house, they stating that the landlady had
put them in for the quarter's rent. They remained
until Saturday, going out in turns and helping themselves.
She saw her late huabanr• coat on the prisoner William
and she told him to give it up. She saw them taking the
things, and she did not like to say anything about it as she
wee afraid.
In answer to questions put toher bythe prisonerThomu,
who was the broker's man, she denied having given him
anything.
Prisoner—The lady gave me thing'. (To the prosecutrix)
Do you deny salting me to sleep with you:.
Prosecutrix (indignantly)—Sleep with you! The idea of
the thin ! I did not.
The other prisoner said be was wearing an old pair of
boots which the prosecutrix gave him.
Police-constable Kesapeter said, on Saturday night be
was called to the prosecutrix's house, where he saw the
prisoner William, who denied knowing anything of the
clothes. Waness took him to the station. He then went
to the house of the other prisoner, who also denied having
any clothes. He afterwards said he bad some, which Mrs.
Lloyd had given him. Witness found at his house the
clothes and the other articles which Mts. Lloyd had not
missed. Witness also found the prisoner William wearing
two odd stockings which Mrs. Lloyd claimed. He said she
gave them to him.
The prosecutrix wee recalled, and denied having given
the prisoners anything. On looking at her husband's
clothes, which were placed before her, she burst into
• paroxysm of tears.
Mr. Daywan said the prisoners bad been guilty of an
irregularity, as they had no business to take anything
which was not entered in the inventory. It was not likely
that a person who had her goods seized would be able to
make a present. That was a lame reason to give. He re.
mended them for the attendance of the broker, and to give
the police an opportunity of tracing the coat.

THE ROYAL GARDENS AT FROOMORE. —After
the long period of fifty-two years' service in the royal
gardens at period of fifty-two years' service In the royal
gardens at Frogniore, Mr. Ingram will shortly retire from
their superintendence. Mr. Ingram entered the royal
service at Frogmore in 1816, as gardener to Queen
Charlotte, and he continued his position after the death
of Queen Charlotte, during the residence of Princess
Augusta at Frogroore-house. Is 18Si Mr. Ingram was I
appointed by William IV. to the superintendence of the
whole of the royal gardens, which at that time comprised I
the Maestrich-gardens in the Home-park, near Romney
Island, the slopes, the gardens at Cumberland-
lodge, at Crenbourss-lodge, at the Hing'olodge—
now known as the Conservatory, in the park—
and
at Virginia Water. To this appointment
he sucoeeded on the death of Mr. Ilicarlane.

carried out the work. On the formation of the camp at
Aldershot Mr. Ingram had the laying out and charge of
the ground around the royal pavilion. It will thus be seen
that as • landscape gardener, as well as a succemdul culti-
vator of fruits and lowers, Mr. Ingram hoe done mush
service. Two years ego • handsome testimonial was pIIF

upon a well-mined pension. Mr. Ingram will be sus
