NORTHERN CIRCUIT.-LANCASTER, AUG. 9.

jewellery, the property of Messrs. Deane and Co., of
King William-street.
Mr. Wontner called Brett, the detective officer, who
aid—Accompanied by my brofeer officer Haydon, I
apprehended the prisoner at 31, Baden-place, Hackney-
r )ad, upon the charge of robbing the premises of Mrs.
Barber ; I saw a card-table in the room where he was,
and in the well of that table I found, among other pro-
perty, nine gold watches, three Albert chains, three
brooches, four pair of gold spectacles, 21 gold pencilcases,
three neckchains, 23 gold-mounted eyeglasses, &c. I
have shown the whole of this property to Mr. Beverly.
As I was about to search the card table (I had pre-
viously asked the prisoner a question) he said " You'll ,
find no drawer there ; you'll find nothing there."
Mr. Duncombe objected to the course pursued by the,
officer in examining the prisoners, and to the statement
made as evidence, upon the ground that it was contrary
to law.
The Lord Mayor overruled the objection, and said the
police practice in that respect was recognised by the
judges.
The property was then produced, and sworn to as
part of that which had been stolen from Messrs. Dean
and Co.'s premises on the night of the robbery of the
premises of that firm, and the prisoner was committed
for trial as the felonious receiver.

(Civil Court.—Before Mr. Justice Crowder.)
George Of atom, aged 24, was indicted for a highway
robbery, with violence, on Joseph Hogg, at Blackburn,
on the 28th of May last.
Mr. Campbell Foster prosecuted, and Mr. John Cross
defended the prisoner.
The prosecutor, it appeared, was a joiner, living at
Blackburn, and had been working at Lytham on the
day in question for a Mr. Speakman, who drove him
home in a conveyance. On their way they took up two
women who were walking, and gave them a ride. The
women got down at the branch road leading to Black-
burn, it being then about half-past 11 o'clock at night,
and proceeded on towards Blackburn. The prosecutor
also got down out of the conveyance, but remained talk-
ing a minute or two to Mr. Speakman, and then ran
after the women to overtake them. He saw them at
some distance before him on the road. Before he
could overtake them he saw two men standing, one
on each side of the road. On coming up to them
he suddenly received a violent blow on the side
of the head, which compelled him to hold on by
the wall at the road side to prevent himself from
falling. He was then seized by the throat by the pri-
soner. He screamed out, and the prisoner tld him to
hold his noise or he would knock his head off, and then
squeezed his throat so tightly that be could not cry out.
A. bundle which he carried, containing a shirt and a
pair of slippers, was then wrenched from his hand, and
the prisoner and the other man ran away towards Black.
burn. The prisoner was seen shortly after this occur-
rence going quickly through the streets of Blackburn,
accompanied by another man, and the police, on going
to his lodging,4, found him there endeavouring to conceal
himself, and on searching found a bundle up the chim-
ney, which turned out to be the one stolen from the
prosecutor.
Mr. Cross having addressed the jury for the defence,
His Lordship summed up, and the jury found the pri-
soner guilty.
His Lordship, in passing sentence, said if he could
have satisfied his mind on other evidence than that of the
prosecutor, who might have been mistaken about it,
that the prisoner had seized him by the throat after the
blow, he should have transported him for 14 years. As
it was, the sentence of the court was that he be kept in
penal servitude for four years.

CROWN COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron Platt.)
TVillicon, Croft, aged 25, was indicted for shooting,
with intent to murder, Ann Bell, of Dalton, on the 3d
of March last.

The jury found the prisoner guilty of unlawfully
wounding
His Lordship deferred the sentence.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.—ThusToL, Auo. 10.

lair.. V. ArrVENg_

Mr. Stone and Mr. H. T. Cole were counsel for the
plaintiff ; Mr. Collier and Mr. Maynard for the defen-
dant.

This was an action for a libel, contained in the certain
letters which the plaintiff alle:zed the defendant had
written of her, charging her with dishonesty.
The plaintiff had been servant to the defendant, but
had left, and then these letter; were written to different
persons, and in these letters it was said that the plain-
tiff was a person of bad and improper character. The
plaintiff declared that she had never acted dishonestly,
and she believed the letters were in the handwriting of
the defendant.

The jury returned a verdict for the defendant.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION.HOUSE.—The justice-room was crowded
during the day, the final examinations of prisoners
charged with the late robberies of silk, watches, and
jewelery in the city having been appointed to take place.
Antonio Zago, Thomas Domanini, and Giuseppe Bevoli,
were charged with having stolen a quantity of silk from
the house of Messrs. Rogers and Co., of Bread-street,
warehousemen, and F. C. Rossi with having received it.
Mr. Wontner appeared for the prosecution.
The additional evidence was as follows :

Mrs. Eliza Idiols, of 53, Greek-street,
.Soho, said—
The prisoners Zago and Bevoli lodge at our house, and
have lodged there for the last three weeks. I also know
the other two prisoners, Domanini and Rossi. They
have been in the habit of visiting Zago and Bevoli two
or three times a day. On Thursday evening last, be-
tween five and six o'clock, I went into Zago's room to
take a tray of linen. The prisoners Domanini and Be-
voli were there. They were measuring a large quantity
of black stuff from off the table on to the bed with a
large tape measure which I had lent to Bevoli. The
black stuff resembled the stuff produced by the pawn-
broker. I noticed the width particularly, and it was as
wide as that produced. About half an hour afterwards
Zago and Rossi came in together and went upstairs, and
soon afterwards Bevoli brought down to me the money
for the lodging and the washing bills, and while he was
in my room Zago and Rossi came in and asked why he
was so -long I saw nothing more of them that day. I
went up to make the bed next morning, but the black-
stuff I hi.d seen was not there.

Cross-examined by Zago—You and Bevoli lodge in
the house lam sure of it... _
