REPORT OF THE COMMISSION SENT TO THE

CRIMEA.

Lord HOTHAM wished to know whether the Go-
vernment had any objection to lay upon the table the
evidence taken by Sir J. M`Neill and Colonel Tulloch,
the commissioners sent out by the Government to in-
quire into the sanitary condition of the army in the
Crimea, with their report thereon.
Lord PALMERSTON said the Government had no
objection to lay upon the table the report. There might
be some passages of a confidential nature which it would
be desirable to omit ; but the Government would have
no objection to lay upon the table the substance of the
report and the whole of the evidence. (Hear.)

[LEFT SITTING.]

BOW-STREET.-(TBIS DAY.)

AN EXTENSIVE ROBBERY PREVENTED.

A cabman, named John, Joseph Tier, was this morning
placed at the bar charged with having in his possession
a large gliantity of cloth, the property of Mr. Fisher,
clothworker, residing at 4 and ✓, Broker's Ally, Drury-
lane.

From the evidence of the foreman, it appeared that at
about half-past four o'clock this morning he was awoke
by a bustling noise, and on looking out of the window
he saw four or five men busily employed in removing a
large number of rolls of cloth from his master's premises
into a cab, which was standing at the end of the Ally.
He immediately gave the alarm, and shouted out to the
cabman to " stop the thieves." The cabman, instead of
doing so, drove off at a furious rate, and the five or
six men all ran in different directions. He without
a moment's loss of time rushed into the street,
with nothing on him but his shirt, and commenced pur-
suing the cab, shouting at the top of his voice " Stop
thieves." The cabman continued to drive on until he
was stopped by 3 working man and a police constable,
opposite the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-street.
On examination of the cab, they found inside three rolls
of cloth and some calico, to the value of about fifty
pounds. The property found in the cab belonged to his
master, and he saw it safe in the shop at nine o'clock
last night when he locked up the premises. The way in
which the entry into the premises had been effected was
by the first floor window, which had been pressed open
by a " jemmy."
'William Abrahams stated ho was employed as a porter
to a market gardener. Ile saw the cab proceeding at a
furious rate, and immediately started in pursuit. He
also saw the Arst witness running as fast as he could
along the street in his shirt, and heard him, although a
considerable distance off, shouting out, " Stop thieves,
stop 'em." The cabman must have heard him, but he
n
himself
eventually stopped the cab, and having put themself was also shouting out, " Stop thief." A police-
foreman inside he got on the box and ordered the man to
drive to the station-house.

Police-cOnstable 52 F proved that he stopped the cab.
The prisoner, on his way to the station-house, told him
that he bad been engaged by a man with an apron on
to take a job to the other side of the water.
Inspector Mackenzie stated that, on the prisoner
being brought to the station, he said that a party bad
hired him to convey a fare over the water. He bad
been to the address given by the prisoner, No. 11, Sid-
mouth-mews, and found that he resided there. He had
also examined the premises which had been entered by
the thieves, and be found the warehouee in the greateeb
