sister's eyes blackened, and scars on her face from his ill-
usage. They had lived an unhappy and miserable life.
The prisoner, in defence, said his work called him away,
and it was too far for him to go home. Ho had been out
of work lately, and the week he obtained employment he
went home to his wife with some money. The following
week he was thrown out of work, but last week he obtained
employment. He went home on Saturday night and found
his wife had been removed to the workhouse. He saw her
on Sunday and he was told by the porter that there was a
warrant out against him. He went on Monday night to
make an arrangement and to see his wife, but he was re-
fused admission to her, and he was taken into custody.
Mr. Ingham pointed out to Mr, Edmonds that the pri-.
soner's work caused him to be a distance from his home.
Mr. Edmonds said that if he had time he could produce
evidence to show that the prisoner was never out of London
during the thee in question.
Mr. Ingham then remanded the prisoner till Tuesday.
The prisoner applied to be admitted to boil to attend the
funeral of his wife as he wished to seo the end of her,
Mr. Ingram said he would take bail, but as it was not
forthcoming, ho was removed to the cells.

WANDSWORTH SYSTEMATIC ROBBERY. 1W A
SEIWANT.—James Fisher, a carpet planner, was finally
examined on a charge of robbing his employer.
Charles Quilter, in the service of Mr. T. 0. Clark, an up
holsterer at Clapham, stated that for the last five weeks he
had had his suspicions of the prisoner, and had watched him
in consequence of his keeping back after the other workmen
had left at leaving-off time. About five minutes after five
o'clock on the afternoon of the 21st inst., he discovered a roll
of carpet in Mr. Clark's chaise, in the coach-house. He com-
municated with Mr. Clark, and it was arranged that witness
should watch till the police arrived. About eight o'clock,
being concealed under the chaise, he saw the prisoner enter
the coach -house, and unfasten the gates. He then went up
to the side of the chaise. Witness could not see him take
anything, but as soon as he had gono out he felt in the
chaise, and found the carpet had disappeared. He rushed
after the prisoner, and caught hold of him as he was leaving
the gates, when he dropped the carpet into witness's hands.
He then seized witness by the throat, and said, " Don't
holloa ; for God's sake don't holloa." Mr. Clark came up
at the time to his assistance, and the prisoner was given in
charge.
Mr. Clark said the prisoner had been in his service about
two years as a carpet planner, and had access to his stock.
On the day in question he received information from Quilter.
In the evening he heard a cry of help, and on going up ho
found the prisoner and Quilter struggling together outside
his gates. Witness collared the prisoner, who then said,
" Let me put on my coat, and I'll go quiet." The piece of
carpet was 7f yards in length, and had been cut off a roll in
witness's shop. The witness added that the coach-house
was 70 yards from the shop. He had lost a great deal of
property.
The prisoner did not deny taking the carpet, and said it
was his first offence.

Mr. Ingham committed him to the Wansworth House o.
Correction for six months, with hard labour.
