" Grand Jury Room."
Mr. Baron BOLLAND thanked the Grand Jury for their
attention to the two important points adverted to in the
presentment.
h7(zzitnierg Szezpgielski, Norbruth Dolubozvski, and Au-
gust Piotrowski, described in the indictment as Polish sol-
diers, were indicted for stealing a watch, a trunk, and a
quantity of foreign coins and notes, the property of Joseph
Streybeyko, who is also a Pole.
The prosecutor, who is one of those who have been ob-
liged to leave their native land in consequence of the oppo-
sition given by them to the Government of the Emperor
Nicholas of Russia, fled to Prussia, and remained there
until lately, when he was obliged to take his departure from
that country, an order having been issued that all Polish
refugees should leave it. Upon the 24th of September last,
he arrived in this country, and landed at the Commercial
Dock, where he was met by the three prisoners, who
coated him, and, being totally unacquainted with the English
language, proposed to get him a lodging. T1);:s they did,
and afterwards took him to the Polish Literary Institution,
Duke-street, St. James's, and left him three. From the in-
formation given to the prosecutor by sumo persons at the
Institution he was led to suspect that he was in bad hands,
and he accordingly made the best of his way to his lodg-
ings ; but he was too late, for the prisoners had been there
already, and had taken away his trunk and all its contents,
which consisted of wearing apparel; Prussian notes, rubles.
and other foreign coins to a largo, amount. The coins and
notes they changed at a bullion-office in the City, and the
clothes they sold to a dealer in Monmouth-street. They
also pawned a variety of articles.
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against all the pri-
soners. The RECORDER then se:ltenced them to seven
years' transportation.

was walking away, when the officer askc,d where he had got

his possession for five years.

The prisoner said he errs a shoe•maker by trade, and re-
sided at Mile-end, and ti.lat he could call witnems to prove

Mr.TITYFORIi asked the pliisoner the name of the ani-
mal, at the same time desiring the officer to place it on the
floor, in order to ascertain if there wart any degree of ac-
quaintance between the parties..

without effect.

determined to leave the child w ith its father.
Mr. Plunkett denied in t'n c most positive manner that
the child was his, and, in lition, declared that he never
had had any intercourse wit'A I the defendant.
