service, and knew the prisoner. On the morning
after the fire he saw the prisoner go into the house
about twelve o'clock, and take some patent screws—
about two dozen pairs, as far as be klew. Those pro-
duced were like them. The prisoner asked him to
take some with him, but he did not do so. He
told his master what he saw on the 13th of Febru-
ary ; not before. He was still in Mr. Foletti's ser-
vice, but did not tell him before, because he forgot
it. When they were talking about the matter at
the fire-office he recollected it, and told him
afterwards.

John Piachintini stated that the 10th of February
the prisoner give him the patent screws produced, to
sell for him, but his master would not buy them of
him. He brought 3f dozen pairs, and he said he
might sell them for Bs. a doz an, or 11. for the lot, in-
cluding a dozen brass castors. The next day he told
the prisoner that his master would not buy them from
him, and he said he would send a boy for them, which
he did.
Marianne Foletti deposed that she never gave the
knife produced to the prisoner. It had been lost
three month, and she had several times made appli-
cation to the prisoner about it, who always said he
had not got it.
Inspector Brennan took the prisoner into custody
on the 15th of February, at Roston Old-town. He
charged him with the robbery, and b© replied, " If I
rob him I send them back." At the station the knife
and handkerchief were found on him. The prose-
cutor said, "These belong to my wife," and the pri-
soner answered that Mrs. Foletti had given them to
him.

This was the case for the prosecution.
Mr. HoaRY regretted that the society alluded to
by the learned coun.el for the prosecution no longer
existed; for, if it had, the prisoner probably would
have had ample means to enable him to get up his
defence properly. He then addressed himself to the
different parts of the evidence, and Called witnesses to
character.

The Learned JUDGE having summed up,
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and
The COURT sentenced him to six months' imprison
meat and bard labour.

John Wheeler, aged 19, pleaded Guilty to the
charge of stealing 701. in bank-notes, the property,
and from the dwelling-house, of George Cain.,
Coombs, his master, a cheeseinonger, at No. 50,
Cowcross-street, St. Sepulchre's. It was shown that
be had twice been convicted before, and he was sen-
tenced to ten years' transportation.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBOROUGH STREET.
Giuseppe D'Amico, who described himself as an
Italian refugee, was brought before Mr. Bingham,
charged with having created a disturbance at the re-
sidence of Prince Carini, the Neapolitan Ambassador,
in Perk-lane.
The butler of his Excellency said the defendant
had several times been at the residence of the Prince,
and had already been relieved with money, That
morning the defendant came again to the house, and
by the direction of his Excellency he was told to go
away. Trio defendant would not leave the house, and
witness was obliged to expel him forcibly. The de-
fendant immediately commenced knocking at the
door, and made such a disturbance that witness gave
him into custody.
The defendant could or would speak nothing but
Italian. The defendant had some letters from dis-
tinguished personages, amongst whom was Lord
Palmerston.
Mr. BING HAM, after a short conversation with the
defendant, obtained a promise from him to abstain
from going to the residence of the ambassador again.
Mr. BINGHAM then directed the defendant to be
released, upon his entering into his own recognizance
in 401. to keep the peace.
LAMBETH.
Mr. R. Smythe, coal merchant, and proprietor of
Hartley's Wharf, Horslydown, appeared before Mr.
Elliott to answer the complaint of John Riches, a coal
dealer, in East-lane, Walwortb, for having unlawfully
sold to the said complainant six sacks of coals which
did not respectively contain two hundred and twenty-
four pounds.
Mr. Riches, sen., said he had caused the present
complaint to be laid at the request of several coal
dealers, and on account of two tons of coals sent to
his customers being short of weight. On the day
mentioned in the summons his son went to the wharf
of the defendant, and ordered a ton of coals, and after
they were loaded in the cart, he complained that they
were not the legal weight, and asked Mr. Smythe to
weigh them, but he refused to do so. On brit.ging
them home the coals were weighed, and six sacks out
of the number were found to he considerably deficient.
Mr. ELLIOTT inquired whether Mr. Riches, jut].,
who was the person who laid the complaint, and who
alone was competent to prove the offence, was present.
Mr. Riches, sen., replied that his son had gone into
the city on business, as he did not think his presence
was necessary, but he expected him to call at the court
in the course of the afternoon. He had, however, in
attendance, a constable whom be had called in, and
who saw the coals weighed.
Police-constable, 016 P, said that on the day before
mentioned, he was called in by Mr. Riches, and su-
perintended the weighing of 10 sacks of coals, which
had been brought on the premises in a cart. The
first and second sacks were quite right, but the third
was deficient albs., the fourth 71bs., the fifth 191 be.,
the sixth 71bs,, the seventh and eighth were right,
the ninth was 91bs. deficient, and the 10th 91bs. also
deficient.
The defendant, in reply to the charge, said that
this was an open wharf where coals were loaded from
the vessel, and taken away by the purchasers in their
own or hired vehicles, and therefore he could not be
held accountable for any deficiency when once they
left his prerni+es. lie denied that Mr. Riches, junior,
had asked him to weigh the coal at the wharf, and
called one of his men, who said he weighed and de-
livered the coals to question. In conclusion the de-
fend Tit said that this was the first time he had had a
complaint, and if Mr. Riches had represented the cir-
cumstances to him he should not have minded giving
him a sack of coals.
Mr. ELLIOTT observed that it was somewhat strange
that the only person who could establish the case was
absent, and dismissed the complaint.
In a few minutes after the young man made his
appearance, and requested that a fresh summons
might be granted, but this Mr. Elliott refused, ob-
serving that the proper course would have been, if
any suspiCion existed, to have called a constable and
weighed the coals before they had been taken away.
In his, Mr. Elliott's opinion, it would be a great
hardship to impose a penalty or hold the defendant
responsible for the weight of the coals after taking
them off his premises.
