to come in day by day until Wednesday.next,when she was
fully to enter into the situation. Prisoner came to the
house on Sunday and left at 10 o'clock at night, and on the
following morning an umbrella and a pair of stockings were
missed. They were taken from a box in a bedroom belong-
ing to a lady who is staying in prosecutor's house.
Mr Arnold inquired whether the box had been left open.
Witness—No, it had not. It was locked, and prisoner
opened it with one of her own keys which fitted it.
Mr Arnold—Where is the lady?
Witness—She is not here ; she has gone a little way into
the country.
Mr Arnold—When can she attend ?
Witness—She is a person of very nervous temperament
and cannot attend.
Mr Arnold—Of course, you can only state the particulars
of the case from what you have heard, but it is necessary it
should be proved by personal knowledge. If the prisoner
is remanded, the lady must attend, or it will be useless to
remand the accused.
Witness—The girl admitted that she had stolen the
things. I knew that the umbrella was taken out of the
box on Sunday morning by the lady as it was considered it
would be used that day.
Mr Arnold—ln order to support this complaint it is
necessary that the lady should attend; if she cannot, it is
useless to remand the prisoner.
Witness—l know she cannot.
Mr Arnold—Then the prisoner is discharged,

occurred on the night of Saturday, the 4th of last month,
when the enthusiasm in favour of Garibaldi was very great.
The evidence previously given went to show that the pri-
soner, his brother and mother, were opposed to the popular
feeling in favour of the great Italian general, and made a i
disturbance n the prisoner's house and threatened him.
The prisoner, becoming frightened, threw a chopper at
John Coghlan, which struck him on his knee and wounded
him severely-. He was taken to the London Hospital.
The officer who had charge of the case announced that
Coghlan's leg was amputated yesterday in the London
Hospital, and that he was in a precarious condition.
Thomas Coghlan, 4, Escott-cottages, Robert-street, Mill-
wall, gave the following account of the unfortunate trans-
action, On Saturday evening, April 5, I and my brother
John went to visit a friend in Vincent-street, Limehouse,
We stopped there until 12 o'clock at night, and then went
into a coffeeshop in Carr-street. Two men were talking
about Garibaldi and the Popo. One of the men said
'tih, "You

brother said, ought to be ashamed of yourself; the
man has never done you any harm." The prisoner, who
is the proprietor of the coffeeshop, shoved his brother out
