Challis charged with obtaining goods by means of forged
orders.
Henry Young, 16, Carthusian-street, said he was a
corn-plaster maker. Last Monday afternoon, the pri-
soner came to his shop and brought a letter purporting to
be written by Mr. Rorke, of Mortimer-street, ordering
four gross of corn-plasters and other goods. He made up
the goods and gave them to the prisoner, believing the
order to be genuine. He had never seen the prisoner
before. The prisoner asked him to send the remainder of
the order to Mr. Rorke, and he promised to do so. The
next morning the prisoner called and asked him if he had
sent the remainder of the goods, and he told him that he
had not because he could not get them ready. He then
said that he wanted four gross more the same as yes-
terday, to which witness replied that he had not got
them ready, but he would send them up in the after-
noon. He then pressed witness to have them ready
in an hour, and he promised to do so. He (witness) then
sent the order to Mr. Rorke's, to see if it were genuine,
and received back word that it was • forgery, and that

HIGHWAY NOMIXBY BY BOYS.
Heavy Cooper, • lad between 14 and 16 years of age,
was brought up for final examination, charged with steal-
ing • gold chain and locket from a young lady named
Louisa Nash.
Mr. H. Allen, the prosecuting officer of the Associate
Institute for Enforcing the Laws for the Protection of
Women, watched the case on behalf of the society.
It appeared from the evidence of the prosecurrit that
about noon on Saturday she was passing along the Great
Dover-road, Southwark, with her sister, and had a gold
chain round her neck, to which was attached a gold
locket. As they were passing Black Horse-court, several
boys surrounded them, and she distinctly saw the prisoner
push past her and turn round. He then made a sudden
attack on her and snatched her chain and locket from
her and be then ran into Kant-street with his companion.
She followed him some distance and saw him stopped by
a tradesman and he was given into custody. Neither the
chain nor locket bad been found.
The prisoner's father said his son was a very bad boy,
and had been led to destruction by elder lads. He had
done all he could to keep him out of mischief, but he could
not keep
.him from his bad companions.
The prisoner here said that another boy took the chain
from him and got away.
The magistrate sentenced the prisoner to two months'
hard labour, at the expiration of that period to be sent to
a reformatory institution for four years.

SINGULAR DEATH FROM .eICCIDEYTAL

TOISO.YINU.

Mr. Richards, the deputy-coroner, held an in-
quiry at the London Hospital, last evening, relative to the
accidental poisoning of Joseph Bertin, aged 44 years.
Mrs. Mary Bertin said that the deceased kept a shop at
55, Salmon's-lane, Limehouse, but business becoming
bad, he was threatened with an execution and distraint
for rent. On Tuesday week he was very desponding, and
he got a bottle of gin which he took up to his bedroom
with him. On Wednesday morning witness found that he
was icy cold. On the table close by was the gin bottle,
quite empty, and by the side of it was another bottle empty,
and labelled " Essential Oil of Almonds, Poison." He was
still alive, and she had him at once taken to the hospital, where
he survived till Sunday. In the hospital he stated that he
had bought the taseutial oil of almonds to make noyeau,
and that during the night he had got up and drunk it
without knowing what he was doing. Witness believed
that he drank the gin "to drown his troubles," and that
when the gm was out he drank the poison in his confusion
of mind. He had never threatened to poison himself, and
oil of almonds was commonly used to make noyeau.
Witness never saw the bottle of poison before.
Dr. W. B. Woodman said that deceased was brought in
suffering from the effects of poison. He died on Sunday
from disease of the heart, accelerated by the prostrating
effects of the poison.
The jury returned a verdict " That deceased died from
the accidental swallowing of essential oil of almonds while
under the influence of drink."
