CENTRAL CitIMINAL COURT

THE GOLD DUST ROBBERY.

James Hans, a policeman, was at Lambeth-street Office
on the 14th June. There is a place where persons in cus-
tody are confined, He was near that place on the morning
in question. The prisoners at the bar were at that time
confined there. Heard the prisoners quarrelling and
talking very loud. The prisoner Lewin Caspar
and Moses. Heard Lewin Caspar say, " Do you
intend to let me have any money ? I want
401. or 50/. to prepare for my defence." The prisoner
Moses said, " No, I want four or five fifties to pay for my
own defence." Young Caspar then said, " Had I have
had the 1,4001. or 1,200/. as you promised, it might have
been different." Moses said something which he did not
distinctly hear, and then added " You are a bloody rogue,
you did not give him even what you had." Then some.
thing passed he did not hear, and then Moses said, " Did
you ever give him 5/ ?" That was all lie heard. He was
examined before the Magistrate the same day.
Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS. —Has been
in the Police three years. Was not employed listening at
the cells. There was no other Policeman in the yard. The
gaoler was there part. of the time. Was requested to stay
in the yard by the gaoler to watch the door. Cannot say
how long he was there. Did not bear the whole of the
conversation. The yard is from six to eight feet wide.
Cross examined by Mr. ADOLPITUi —Was a hair-dreg_
ser, and had been out of employment. three mowhs when he
went into the Police. Had no acquaintance with young
Caspar, except seeing him examined at the office;
had the same acquaintance with Moses. Had heard both
Caspar and Moses speak in the dock and in the cells ;
there was no one in the cell but the four prisoners. He
stated what he had heard among his own men, and was sent
for into the office and examined. Did not know he was
to be examined, or that the solicitor for the prosecution
was acquainted with what he had heard until be was
examined.

Cress-examined by Mr. C. JONES—Was stationed at the
Police Office on account of the excitement occasioned by
the examination of the prisoners. When before the Ma-
gistrate. believes young Caspar said that be had applied to
Mo,..es to I..nd him 51 or 10/. to defend himselt, because
he was much dnitres.3cd for money, and that Moses had
premised to lend or give him 51. Bell, ves he also said,
If I hae got 1 4001., es yo u are reported to have got by
the transaction, you should not have wanted 51." This
was in the office.

John Hardwicke, Esquire, examined from the Bench—
Is one of the Police Magistrates of Lambeth-street ; Las
been a Magistrate seventeen years. The examinations in this
case were conducted before him. Was the committing
Magistrate. Recollect the occasion of which mention has
been made, which statements he took into his priva e
room. Had no communications with any of those par-
ties previously. Those statements were put into his
hands in the office publicly. He took those statements
into his private room at the request of counsel publicly
made. It was publicly stated to be to enable witness to
ascertain whether he would admit the testimony of Solo.
mons. The prisoners were present, and the counsel and
attorney of both sides also. He desired his clerk to ac-

lli-.

MR. THEOBALD AND HIS MARE.—Mr. P.
Theobald has published a letter in the Post in crder to
exonerate himself from the fraud charged on the Palace
Stakes affair by the Jockey Club. In giving orders to
Curwen to lose, Mr. Theobald denies " any intent to de-
ceive, or take any fraudulent advantage," and says he was ac-
tuated solely by a wish to prevent Pauline from being claimed.
He says he has instructed his attorneys to bring an action
against Lord Stradbroke and Captain Rous for " defame-

not adopt that form of proceeding which will evolve the
merits of the case, his character as a racing man will be

company him. When in his room the attorney of Solo.
mons was present. The statements were in the hands of the
clerk, and were read in the presence of Solomons, and So-
lomons' attorney. Each of the persons who had state-
ments to make were brought into the room by themselves,
and the statements read to each separately. After that the
parties were taken into the public office, and there a viva
voce examination by counsel took place.
Cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS—These papers were
delivered publicly. The Counsel requested that the Ma.
gistrate would take certain papers into his bands, and read

Their Lordships sat in a Committee of Privileges to-
day, at Eleven o clock, for the purpose of hearing the
further arguments in the Camoy and Braye Peerage. At
the c&nelusion of the arguments, certain legal questions

ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. SHORE.
The arguments were concludad in this part-heard
appeal to-day. —Judgment defei red.

This was an action brought to recover the sum of
161. ss. for damage done to a barge, the property of the
plaintiff, under the following circumstances.
The Odessa coal-ship was lying off the Deptford Creek,
and the barge was employed in unloading the ship for the
purpose of taking the coals up the creek. The men had
loaded the barge with fourteen tons of coals, but as the
tide did not serve them to get into the creek, they went
on shore. leaving the barge lashed to the starboard side of
the ship from which side only could she be loaded. The
Wilberforce, Hull steam vessel, was coming down the river
deeply loaded, and from the swell she occasioned in the
river, the barge was swamped and sunk. For raising her
the loss of her services during the time, and for the damage
done, the plaintiff now sought to recover Jul. ss.

- .
For the plaintiff it was shown that the barge was loaded
in the usual manner, that fourte-n tons was In-r usual cargo,
and that she had sometimes carried sixteen. That the barge
could not be got into the creek except at certain times,
of the tide, and that it was the usual practice of the trade
for the men to go on shore till such time arrived ; and that
the men in the Odessa, seeing the Wilber force coming
down at the rate of ten miles an hour, called out to her to
slacken her speed ; that she took no notice of it, and the
barge was swamped by the swell occasioned by her.
It was contended for the defendants, that the barge was
too deeply ; that though she might 'nave c:arried 14
tons without danger before the introduction of stearn.boatl,
it was not safe, and therefore not proper, now to do so ;
and witnesses were called, who, from Ilia dimensions of
the barge, judged her gunwale must have been within six
inches of the water.

His LORDSHIP summed up strongly in favour of the
plaintiff.; for he said he was ❑ot aware that it was common
law, and he was suro it was not statute law, that beeauF.a
an invention was found nut, useful to the public no doubt,
still it could not be worked in such a manner as to destroy
all the old facilities of trade. It was the duty of the ser-
vants of the defendant to keep a good look out, and not
go at such a speed as cause damagt, to those who were
conducting their bu,,iness in the usual manner.

The Jur'v. after a few minutes' consideration, found for
the plaintiif—Damages 161 ss.

The continuation of the examination of Lee, ihe officer,
from our first edition of yesterday.
Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS—With the
exception of the situation of the furnaces, would say it
was a correct plan.
He was then cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS as to the
evidence he had given about the elder Caspar leaving the
coach at Charing-cross the evening of the robbery, but
nothing of importance was elicited.
Re-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—ShouId think a cab
could go from the Strand to Whitechapel in twenty-five
minutes. A person standing at or near the furnaces could
see a person standing in the shop and into the street.
Mary Solomons, the daughter of Henry Solomons, cor-
roborated his evidence as to the visit of Moses on Easter
Tuesday morning.
George Wood—Received a 1001 note on the day So-
lomons was summoned from John Dean; changed it at
Ransom's for sovereigns, and gave them to John Dean.
Benjamin Woolf corrob.:rated the evidence of Solomons
as to the cheque and cash he had lent him
Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Bourns—ls the
nephew of Solomons.
George Gr.ffiths—ls a clerk in the house of Ransom the
bankers. Woolf was with them, and on the 2d of April
last he cashed a cheque, drawn by Woolf, in favour of So-
lomons, for 100/. Identifies two 5/. notes produced as
having been paid by him on accnunt of that cheque.
A. D. Riley is the son of a solicitor and acts as his clerk.
Knows the handwriting of the pri,oner Moses. The
two Si. notes identified by last witness were put into his
hand, and he said he had no doubt the handwriting on the
back of each was that of the prisoner Moses.
Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant BUMPAS—Knows Mr.
Abrahams the attorney. Has not communicated with him
on this subject. It is eight years since he saw Moses
write. Has seen him write in No. 17, Clement's Inn.
J. C. Hewlett— Is Deputy-Prothonotary of the Palace
Court. Has seen Moses write once. Has frequently
sworn him to affidavits, and has acquired a knowledge of
the character of his handwriting. Believes the handwriting
on the notes to be his, from the slight knowledge he has of
it. It is an unusual style of writing. He has put those
notes by the side of his signature and compared them.
Henry West—ls clerk to Mr. Abrahams. Knows the
handwriting of the prisoner Moses, and believes the hand-
writing on the notes to be his signature.
A person named Pine also swore to the handwriting of
Moses on the notes.
Mr. Johnson, of the firm of Giok and Johnsen, proved
the payment of a cheque to Solomon, for 400/. on account

various bands to Moses, Sirs. Abrahams, and Moss, which
notes were among those produce in the Court.
John Howard is assistant to Lea, the officer; was in
Crutched- friars on Good Friday, and saw both the Caspars
together very deep in conversation. 'They were there an
hour and a half walking together. Remembers Ist April
when Moss's house was searched. Saw them on that day
very nearly opposite Moss's house in Mansel-street. He
saw the elder Caspar standing . with his hand to his
mouth. leaning his head on young Caspar's neck and point-
ing to the house where Moss lived in Mansel-street. Knows
the person of Davis and his house in Coventry-court. Saw
him leave his house on several occasions when he was
watching. Knows the house where Moses lives, and has
seen Davis go there frequently. After he had gone in
witness went to the window and saw Moses and Davis go
into the parlour. Saw Mrs. Abrahams come out of Solo-
mon's house, when a man named Dixon, who was watching
with him, stood opposite. They followed her as far as
Bedford-street.
Cross-examined by Mr. C. PHILLIPS—Has been em-
ployed as a spy by Mr. Lea since 27th March. Has been
paid for forty four days' service and is owed the remainder.
Has received 10/. Made a daily report to Lea. Dixon
was in Lea's employment. Knew these facts at the time
of the examination, but was never examined. Had told Lea
of them, but never told the Caspars of them. He watched
the Caspars as anxiously as he could, and this was all he
had discovered.
Cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS—Davis was never
taken into custody. His seen him at the Police Office,
but not since the prisoner Moses has been in custody.
James Dixon was employed by Lea to watch Solomons'
house. Saw the prisoner Alice Abrahams come out of
the house and go up Bedford-street. Was at the Police
Office when Solomons was first examined; this happened
after.

them in his private room. The Counsel for the prisoners
had no means of knowing the contents of those papers.
The counsel and attorneys for the prosecution retired
with witness. The counsel and attorne3s for the priso-
ners were not allowed to be in the private room.
Mr. Abraham, the attorney for Solomons, was allowed
there. Solomons, two of his sons, and some others,
made statements. After they had been read over to them,
they were distinctly told the Magistrates would only
receive it as a voluntary confession, which might be used
against them, then the papers were read over by the clerk.
They were thee asked by the Magistrates whether they
were the truth. They were then each signed, and after-
, wards, as witness supposed, passed into the hands of the
counsel, as notes to examine the witness from in open
Court. Witness received them from the counsel for the
prosecution. This cabinet examination might have lasted
an hour and a half. Several times the counsel and attor-
-1 neys for the prosecution had private audiences, and he
would have given the counsel for the prisoners the same
had they asked. Alice Abrahams had been examined, and
made statements as a witness. At the time she was exa-
mined there was no evidence to implicate her, except her
own statement. Directions were given that the
prisoners should be kept separate at Cold Bath-
fields. Cannot say whether any police officers were
present at the making of the statement..
Cross-examined by Mr. C. JONES—Was at the office
when Lewin Caspar gave information of the robbery—it was
about twelve o'clock. Lea, the officer, asked if he would
give a gentleman in wasting a private audience. Found
that person to be Lewin Cava-. He was the first person
from whom witness received any information concerning
the robbery He asked for assistance to deteet the thief.
Witness directed the officers immediately to afford every
assistance. Lewin Caspar, in that interview, appeared
much agitated, and expressed great anxiety to bring the
parties to justice. He put some papers into witness's
hand in consequence of which he bad given an order for
the delivery of some chests of gala dust, which papers
he said he feared were forged.
Re-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—According to the orders
given, the prisoners could not have had any communication
with each other except when they came to the office in the
cells. Jr witness's judgment itwculd have been detrimental to
the ends of public justice that those papers should be pub-
licly read while he was making up his mind as to the pro-
priety of admitting Solomons as witness for the Crown.
This closed the case on the part of the prosecution.
Roe, the officer was recalled at the request of Sergeant
Bompas, and examined as to the search made at the
house of Solomons.

In answer to Mr. C. JONES, he stated that in the course
of this invettigation lie became acquainted with Francis
Allen, a clerk of Mr. Hartley, who has run away. Allen
nevvr introduced to witness a person named Sheen, or any
one who said he hal been a sailor on board the City of
Limerick, who could give material information about the
robbery. Does not know of any such person being intro-
duced to Lea.

In reply to an observation of the Jury, expressive of a
hope that the case would he concluded to-morrow night.
Mr. Justice L►TTLEDALE said lam afraid not. It will
take me a day at least to sum up.
The Court adjourned at eight o'clock.

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Sergeant Arabin and Mr. Alderman Brown.)
Charles Thresher, a policeman, No. 150 Division L,
Leonard Buck and Win. Dowson, the two latter lads
about sixteen years of age, were indicted for conspiring
and confederating together, in order to charge and convict
James Smithurst of a certain misdemeanour.

Mr. Ryland and Mr. Payne appeared for the defendants.
Mr. PRICE stated the case for the prosecution at great
length. The prosecutor he said was a gentleman of cha-
racter and fortune, and he had for the sake of his own re-
pute, and in order to promote the ends of justice, insti-
tuted an inquiry, from which many gentlemen of
equally moral respectability, but of weaker nerve, would
have shrank. Mr. Price then went on to state that
some months ago the policeman stopped the prosecutor in
St. George's fields, where he had been on a visit to his
friend, Sir Hugh Evelyn, and conducted him to the Sta•
tion-house, where, on the evidence of the boys, he was
confined all night, tried at the Surrey Sessions, and ac-
quitted.
A great number of gentlemen were examined at great
length, and, among the rest, Mr. Jeremy and Mr. Hedger
the Magistrates.
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, end the defen-
dants were sentenced o pay a fine of Is., and be dis-
charged.
