CRIMINAL COURT.-(TBIS DAY.)

The April session of the above Court was opened this
morning, before the Right. Hon. the Lord Mayor, the
Right Hon. the Recorder, Aldermen Hunter, Sir G.
Carroll, Sir R. Carden, and Wire ; Mr. Sheriff . Mug-
geridge, Mr. Sheriff Crosley, and Mr. Under-Sheriff A.
Crosley.
The first edition of the calendar contains the names
of 131 prisoners.

The Recorder delivered a very brief charge to the
Grand Jury, and, after observing that there were several
very serious cases to be disposed of at the present
session, he said they would not entail any additional
labour upon the grand jury, because the bills referring
to the more serious of them were found at the last
session. The only case of murder they would have to
inquire into was a charge against a woman, named
Bryant, of having cruelly destroyed the life of her child,
by leaving it in the snow during the inclement weather.
Some doubt might arise whether the child was alive at
the time she deposited it in the place where it was found,
but as the prisoner admitted that the child was hers,
and that she had at all events placed it in the snow, it
appeared to him that it would be the safer course for
them to find the bill, and leave the matter
to be more fully inquired into before the petty jury.
The Recorder then said that he regretted to observe that
the crime of perjury appeared to be very much on the
increase, and there were several most serious cases of
that description to be disposed of at the present session.
The offence of passing forged notes, which had up to a
recent period been of rare occurrence, appeared also to
be very much increased, and he said he mentioned this
in order that tradesmen might be upon their guard
against frauds of such a description,
The grand jury then retired, and the Court was ad-
journed for an hour, in order to give the Recorder and
the other city officials an opportunity of being present
at the Special Court of Alderinen.

MARLBOROUGH. ST RE hT.-(THIS DAY.)

CHARGE OF ROBBERY.—John Weddle and Samuel
Rayner, two respectable young men, were brought
before Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing a sovereign,
the property of the directors of the British Telegraph
Company, 43, Regent-circus, Piccadilly.
John Astrop Head stated that he was a clerk in
the employ of the above company,' at their office
in Regent-circus, Piccadilly, and that in conse-
quence of •having missed various sums of money
from a drawer in the instrument•room, and suspicions
falling upon the prisoners, he *larked a sovereign, and
with other moneys placed it in the same drawer about
5 o'clock on Saturday afternoon. About half-past 12
on the same night the prisoners left, and as soon as they
were gone he looked over the money in the drawer and
missed therefrom the marked sovereign. He immedi-
ately, accompanied by a policeman, followed the pri-
soners as far as Scott's Supper-rooms in Coventry-street,
where he gave them into custody.

Police-constable 30 C proved taking the prisoners into
custody at Scott's Supper-rooms ; and, on telling them
what they were charged with, Weddle said it was a
shameful thing to collar a young man in a place like that
where they were known. Witness then conveyed them
to the station where they were searched, and on Ray-
ner was found the marked sovereign produced, which
last witness identified as the one he had put in the
drawer.

The prisoners, who made no answer to the charge;
were remanded until Wednesday next.
