RIVTRAORDINARY CHAROE •OP HORSE STEALiNO.
win.' Hicks; sen., who is a respectable .provisien and.
provender dealer in Regent's-road, and Wra. Hicks,
jun., (his son,) provision dealer and baler at' North
Egremont, were charged with stealing a mare, value
£24. Mr. Cobb appeared for the prisoners. The pro-
secutor, Mr. Baskin, a farmer and horse dealer in New-
town, Mount Charles, county Donegal, 'lreland, con-
duOted his own case. It appeared from his statement
that he came over from Ireland on the 2nd inst., bring-
ing with him a mare for the 'purPose. of selling her.
He was advised to go to the elder prisoner, • where he
agreed to engage a stall in his stable at 6d.
her night. The prosecutor endeavoured to sell the
orse at Lucas's and at Ormiskirk fair, but was,
unsuccessful, and on Saturday night lasthe and the elder
prisoner made a bargain for the sale of the animal, at
£24. The•younger prisoner, who was present at the
time, threw him half-a-crown as " earnest" money. The
parties then separated. On the following 'day, the Sab-
bath, the prosecutor went to a -Wesleyan Chapel. On
his return he. was shocked to .see the younger prisoner
on the back of his mare, which had _just returned into
the yard, after having; been out for exercise:. This de-
secration of the, Sabbath did' not please Baskin, and he
ordered voung Hieks to alight. The prosecutor here
entered into a long and rambling di.,-ression about reli.;
gion, horse-racing, and the revivals in. Ireland ; wind-
ing,up with saying, that it was young Hicks' proceedings
on the Sabbath that induced him to withdraw from the
bargain. He saw the . prisoners on Monday evening)
and, told them that he would not let them have
the mare, and demanded the key of the stable. This
they refused. On Tuesday morning, he went to the
stable to feed the horse,, and was astonished to find that
it had been removed. He went to the police-office in
Hatton-garden, and gave information. - Officer 141 said
he arrested the eider prisoner at his place of business in
Regent-road, and he took. hint to Egremont, where they
met. Hicks, juu., who took them to a stable about three-
quarters of a mile off, where the mare was. The
officer and the two Hicks', together with the mare, were
brought to Hatton-garden. While the elder Hicks and
the officer were inside of the police-office, young Hicks
mounted the mare and rode off. He was apprehended
afterwards in Great Howard-street, and charged with
stealing the mare. He replied :that -it was . his,
as he had bought it. Mr. Cobb,. who; :as already
stated, appeared for the prisoners, cross-examined
the prosecutor at considerable length; during which
the court was kept in uproarious laughter. In
the ,course of -his replies, the prosecutor said he was
not so religious a man as he ought to he, still he thought
it a sin that a horse should be exercised on the Sabbath.
He would never willingly allow such an occurrenee.to
take place, but, on being pressed, he acknowledged that
he had gone to Ormskirk on Sunday evening on horse-
back; but, he added he went to church, immediately. on
his arrival in Ormskirk. He tried to sell the mare on
the-Monday, but could not get his price. The manner
in which the mare was to be paid for, it was admitted,
was this--.£lo last Monday, and £l4 on the 14th of
May. Prosecutor alleged that the £lO was not offered
or paid on the Monday ; and he, therefore, was of opi-
nion that the bargain was at an end, and he refused to
part with the mare. She, however, was in the stable,
and the prisoners refused to deliver her up to him. Mr.
Cobb said he should call a witness, who would prove
that ten sovereigns were offered to the prosecutor ; that
he,refused the money, and went away,—and, if such was
preyed, he called upon his worship to discharge the
prisoners, who would, in that case, go away from the
dock without the slightest_ stain .on their • character.
They had made a bargain, which they were willing to
fulfil, and had offered to fulfil all the conditions of that
bargain. Consequently the mare was theirs, and the
prosecutor had no right to it. Mr. Gould, who
witnessed the transactions between the prisoners
and the prosecutor, who came _ into the court
shortly afterwards, gave his evidence to this effect:—
On SatUrday evening; he was at the Shop 'of the elder
prisfner when Baskin came in and offered to sell the
mare:- He asked £25 for it; lant.llicks did not appear
to be very eager about it, as he said he had not sufficient
money at present to pay for the animal. Baskin said
that he did not want all the money now, and ultimately
Hicks purchased 'the, mare for £24-110 to be paid
on the Monday. following, and the remaining £l4 to
be paid on the 14th of May, and the younger prisoner
gave a h f-erct wn to the proseen tor to bind the
bargain. On the Monday, witness went to Hicks's,

shop to sea the, 410 paid, and the bar_
pleted. The elder prisoner tendered ten sovereigns
to the prosecutor. For some cause or other the latter
seemed to have changed his 6Pinion, andle refused the
money, saying he would have.nothing to do with them.
He also threw the half-crown which he had received on
Saturday down on the counter, and bounced out of the
sho Hicks did not want to break the bargain, and
he gave Gould 'the ten sovereins- to attend at the table
on the following morning, and offer it to the prosecutor.
He did so, but it was again refused. Mr. Mansfield
said that Mr. Baskin must have misunderstood the
" earnest" which was paid; to rescind bargain it
required the consent of both parties, and it certainly did
not appear that there were any nefarious designs upon
the part of the prisoners. They would, of course; have
to pay for the. mare, in accordance with the bargain.
'The prisoners were discharged.
AN ILNRECOGNISED MEMBER OP THE ROYAL FAMILY.
—A's Cry tall woman, named Mary Brassy, was brought
up under the. following 'circumstances engaged a
cab to the. Railway Station in Lime-street. When
arriyethere,-she informed the cabman that she hati_no,
money, and of course she could not pay him. However,
she said as she was going to Carlisle to a grand tourna-
ment,--where she was to meet her cousin, Victoria,-Queen
of England, and her friend Prince Albert,' she would
obtain supplies, and remit the money to the cabman.
Lord Palmerston would also be in attendance, and she
would meet with numerous friends and acquaintances.
As she was a Countess, " Cabby" would of course trust
to her honour for payment. He had
,no faith in that,
however, and would do no such thing, so the Countess
was given into custody. She is believed to be insane,
and was remanded for the purpose of being examined by
a doctor. .

SANITORY INFORMATIONS.—" THE LAST OF £10,000."
—There were a number of sanitary informations brought
before the court, and amongst them was one against an
old woman, half clothed, named Elizabeth Corbett. The
charge against her by the officers of the Health Commit-
tee was that, although she was the owner of a house in
Combermere-street, she was in the habit of letting all
the apartments to lodgers, whilst she herself slept in the
cellar, which was a low and ill-ventilated place. When
asked by the magistrates what she bad to say to the
charge, the defendant did not deny the allegations of the
officers, but in a strain of considerable volubility, she pro-
ceeded to relate her past-misfortunes to the cond.. She said
" This house is all that remains of £lO,OOO which I had
some years ago. My husband deserted me, and after-
wards I was brought up before the late Mr. Rushton,
who committed me to the house of correction for fourteen
dap. I have been in a low state of mind ever since."
The magistrates inflicted a fine of ss.
