GENERAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day,

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
ROBBERY.

Edward Carlton, alias Petcr Watkins, 32, described as a
carpenter, was indicted for stealing 40 yards of Linsey cloth,
value £3 10s, the property of Richard Laxton, a warehouse-
man in the City.

The prisoner cross-examined the persons who captured
him with great adroitness, to show that there were jobbing
porters in the City, who carried about goods for warehouse-
mez/1 and that he willingly went back to Mr Laxton's as
soon as he was accused of th,p robbery. _

A clerk in the employment of the owner of the property
said the prisoner had no authority to remove the goods;
and that the firm never sent goods by such persons. He
know nothing of the prisoner.
The prisoner, having no ecunsol, addressed the jury in
his own M'env, urging that his conduct did not imply
guilt. _ _ .

Lhe jury however took an entirely different view of the
cas, and wit h.:tit a moment's hesitation found him guilty.
A po!ice officer provtd a previous conviction, and as he
had net reported himself under the new regulations on
leaving his penal servitude before the expiration of his time
he was on the look out for him.

The Recorder sent::nced him to seven sears penal:servi-
Aide .

PAWNBROKERS.

Several pawnbrokers who had taken in things of value
from a young man who was indicted for stealing them, were
called, and their expenses were disallowed by the Recorder.

SIULLER'S CASE.

This afternoon, shortly after Li o'clock, the witnesses
who have been summoned in the case of Franz Muller, who
is charged with the murder of Mr Thomas Briggs, on the
North London Railway, attended before the Grand Jury,
Mr Elward Mappin being the fireman. The avenues of the
coin t were crowded with people who were content to catch
even a hasty glance of the persons who aro to play a promi-
nent part in the trial. Fifty-one witnesses have been cub-
-Iceaed on the part of the prosecution, but the evidence of a
vast number of them is of little more than a formal cha-
rector, and will occupy the Court but a short time. It is
thought the witnesses, who will bo subjected to a rigorous
cross-examination, will not be more than eight. The in-
vestigation by the Grand Jury was, of course, conducted
with closed doors, but it is understand that Mr T. Briggs,
a son of the deceased, Mr Death the jeweller, Mathews the
cabman, and others, bore testimony to the facts in rcferenco
to which they spoke when they were before the police ma-
gistrate and the coroner.
The Grand Jury found a true bill against Muller.
