ROBBERIES OF GOODS IN TRANSIT.-..Michael Duran,
a carman in the service of Mr. James Bryant, the extensive
carrier was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with steal-
ing a bag of sugar.

Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, stated the case for the pro-
secution. This was unfortunately one of those rather
Lumerous cases of stealing goods in transit by carmen and
lightermen. The prisoner had only been a few days in the
employ of the respectable prosecutor for whom he (Mr.
Young) appeared, and he could assure the Bench Mr.
Bryant, who was entrusted with large quantities of valu-
able merchandizs, took great pains to obtain honest
servants. On Thursday last the prisoner was sent to
the East India Dock by his master for E hay
bags of sugar, which he was to take to Messrs. Allen and
Morgan's sugar refinery in Lambeth-street, Whitechapel.
He would call witnesses to prove that 60 bags of sugar were
delivered to the prisoner in the dock, and that only 0 were
delivered at the sugar bakers in Lambeth-street. Mr.
Guhard Kaimanen, a respectable licensed victualler, the
landlord of the Castle publichouse, in Little Alie-street,
opposite Lambeth-street, saw a van and three horses stand-
ing in Lambeth-street on Thursday afternoon last. The
prisoner was in charge of it. Two other men were there.
There was a costermonger's barrow, upon which was
a bag of sugar similar to others in the van. Mr. Kai-
manen saw the prisoner give the man with the
barrow a cloth which they put over the bag
of sugar and entirely concealed it. The prisoner assisted
in covering up the bag of sugar. The two men took the
barrow away down Lambeth-street, in a southerly direc-
tion. Before that one of the men came to the corner of
Lambeth. street, looked out, and then went back.
Mr. Charles Young then oalled several witnesses in
support of his statement.

Benjamin Arches, No. 101 H, said ho took the prisoner
into custody yesterday, and upon making him acquainted
with the charge, he said the bag of sugar was taken while
he was in the sugar-baker's dice.
Mr. Paget, on hearing from the police: that the other
men engaged in the robbery were likely to be arrested,
remanded the prisoner for a week.
