casea against a young man who at ORC time
had been in his employ. While in London, Bendeno
received a very loving letter from his wife, who said
that she would meet him at Nottingham, as he had
desired her. He left London as soon as he possibly
could, and went down to Nottingham, but his missus
was not there. He then proceeded .to Liverpool, and
went to an hotel, where he and his wife had been
previously living. When he arrived there, he foi)nd that

and that his wife was also non est inventus. Scott, the
detective-officer, Was communicated with, and from en-
quiries he made in connection with Inspector Hodgson,
of- Birkenhead, it was found that the furniture of
Bendeno was in a house in German-terrace, Price-street,
Birkenhead. Hodson went to the house and found that
it was shut up, all the doors and windows beinc, fas-
tened. lie procured a ladder, went up to' the
drawing-rOoth window, broke a pane of glass, and
forced hiinself through the window. About eleven
o'clock at night a gentleman came to the house, opened
the door and went in, and was received :by Hodson.
The gentleman asked the detective what he wanted
there. Hodson intimated his business, and said,—
"Although the house may be yours, the furniture is
not." Mr. Wood, in. reply, said,—" It is the property
of Bendeno." 'Bendeno • afterwards turned up, and it
would *war that he and the prisoner, accompanied by
detective-officer Scott and Mr. Woods, went to Notting-
ham im search of Mrs. Bendeno. There they
found her, and all the parties returned to Liver-
pool in " great good humour ;" but alas ! the
hopes of an amicable ending were dspersed by Bendeno
giving Woods into custody on the charge of having con-
spired with his' (Bendeno's) wife to defraud him and
steal his property, including his wife.
Witnesses were then called.

Detective-officer Hodson was next called.—He said
that Scott came to him in relation to the affair. They
made some enquiries, and found that a house had been
taken, No. 8, German-terrace, Price-street, Birken-

and he obtained a ladder, ascended'to the drawing-room

says Hods)n, " Whose house is this?" "It is mine."
It may be so, replied the detective, but who does the
furniture .belong to ? " Why, its Joe Bendeno's wife's."
Bendeno then appeared; but no charge was at that time
made against Mr, Woods, and the three had a conversa-
tion, the result of which was, that they set out the next
morning, accompanied by detective Scott, in search of
