MARLBOROUGH STREET.

BREAKING AND ENTERING A DISTILLER'S PREMISES.
—James Wilson, a young man in the employ of Mr Henry
Brett, of the Old Furnival's Distillery, as porter at the
branch office in Regent-street, was charged before Mr
Kn)x with breaking and entering the premises of his em-
ployer in Regent-street, and stealing about £1 9s.
Mrs Hannah Brown, servant to Mr Brett, said—Yes-
terday evening, about seven o'clock, while in the kitchen,
I heard a noise overhead, and on going upstairs found a
panel leading into the shop broken in. I spoke to the
police, and they got through the aperture. I then left and
went to Kensington to acquaint my master, leaving the
police in charge of the place. The panel was a little broken
before, and believe it had previously been tampered with.
The prisoner is the porter, but does rot sleep on the pre-
mises. When I came back from Kensington the prisoner
wee in custody of the police.

Alfred Austin, 336 A—On being called yesterday even-
ing to Nu. 30, Regont-street, I found a panel broken suf-
ficiently to admit a man. I got inside and lit a candle, aLd
looked round the plac9, and then sent the servant for the
proprietor. I remained quiet, and hearing a noise down
stairs, I then called in another constable and went
into the cellar, and on opening a cupboard door I found the
prisoner crouched on his hands and knees. I pulled him
out and asked what he was doing there, and he said that
some men outside had told him to break into the place. On
searching him I found a half sovereign, four shillings, and
a penny in his pockets. I then took him into the shop,
and remained till the manager came, and the manager then
found that a desk had been forced open and some money
taken from it. On asking the prisoner where it was, ho
said, " In No. 3 bin."

Sergeant Horsey, 6 C—Prisoner told me he got through
the hole, and that some fellow had asked him to break in,
telling him that he knew the police. On asking him if he
knew the persons he said he did not. On the prisoner say-
ing the money was in No. 3 bin, I went to the bin in the
cellar and removed some bottles and hard dust, and found
in different pieces of paper £4 9s in all, and the prisoner
said that was the money he had taken from the till.

Mr Arthur Chesterton, manager of the Regent-street
branch of Mr Brett's business, said—On arriving at the
premises in Regent-street I found the place in charge of
the police. I found the money left in the desk gone, and it
was found in a bin where the prisoner said ho had put it.
The prisoner had been 10 weeks in Mr Brett's employ—a
good character being received with him. The prisoner left
the premises before I did. Mr Brett wished, as the prisoner
had had a good character, and helped to support his mother,
that the prisoner might be dealt leniently with,
Mr Knox—There are certain cases I have not the power
to deal with, and this is one. All that has been said on be-
half of the prisoner can be urged before the Judge.
The prisoner, who put no questions to the witnesses, and
made no answer to the charge, was then committed for trial.
