This was an action to recover 205., the value of a certain

that so ?
Plaintiff—l am entitled to have my presents back.
His Honour—Did any letters pass ?
(At this the defendant smiled, and said " No.")
Plaintiff's witnesses generally deposed to having heard

Mr. Raphael. You must be nonsuitad,
Nonsuited.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

GUILDHALL.

A young man named Atkinson was charged with obtain-
ing, by means of a forged order, a quantity of silk handker-
chiefs, the property of Messrs. Ellis and Hubbard.
From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner had
previously been in the employ of Messrs. Lee, and in that
capacity he had become acquainted with the mode of busi-
ness of the house, and also the warehouses with which the
firm dealt. One day last week the prisoner presented an
order requesting that three pieces of silk handker-
chiefs might be supplied. No suspicion was enter-
tained, and the goods were supplied, and the prisoner
left. In a few days after Messrs. Ellis received a printed
circular, informing them that a young man Was obtain-
ing goods in the name of the firm of Messrs. Lee, by means
of forged orders. While the circular was being read in the
office the prisoner was seen to pass into the warehouse, and
a police-constable was sent for, and the prisoner given into
custody. After that the prisoner did not deny the charge
of falsely obtaining the goods.
A gentleman from the firm of Pavan, Son, and Com-
pany, said the prisoner came to their house a short time
ago and requested that a quantity of clothing might be
supplied him, as the agent of Messrs. Lee, of Teignmouth.
As the order produced was informal, and further that he could
not give a reference to any person in the city, he was not
supplied with the goods.
A number of other witnesses gave evidence to prove
that various other houses had been victimised.
Alderman Allen remanded the prisoner till Wednesday
next.

BOW-STREET.
Ann Winn and Johanna Collins were placed at the bar
charged with creating a disturbance in the streets and also
with assaulting the police.
Police Constable, 81 F. said about half-pa=t one yester-
day morning he was on duty in King. street, Drury Lane,
when he saw the prisoner Winn creating a disturbance. He
desired her to be quiet and go home, when she became very
violent, and he then took her into custody. Collins at-
tempted to prevent him taking Winn to the station-house,
and through he: she succeeded in running into one of the
houses in the street. He followed, and not finding her in
the passage he proceeded up stairs' and searched the first
floor. Not discovering her there he went into the rooms on
the second, and there found her and took her into custody.
Collins was also taken to the station house and charged
with attempting to rescue a prisoner.
An elderly woman, a resident in the third floor of the
house from which Winn was taken, said she was very
much alarmed when the policeman entered her room with his
lantern in his hand, about half Tan one in the morning.
Mr. Henry—What did he want in your rooms after he had
taken the prisoner into custody on the second floor ?
Witness—l don't know, your worship.
Mr. Henry (to the constable) —Had you any doubt, when
you took Winn into custody, about her being the person
that assaulted you ?

onstable—No, your worship.
Mr. Henry—Then why did you go into the upper rooms
—what reason had you to do so ?
Constable—After I had been in the second floor I went
up to the third, thinking there
might be some one else.
Mr. Henry—That implies that you had a doubt about
Winn being the person. Had you any doubt?
Constable—No, your worship.
Mr. Henrp—Then explain the reason that led you to
enter the rooms on the third floor.

Constable—l went to see who was there.
Mr. Henry—What for? Do you think you have' a right
to enter people's rooms at half-past one in the morning,
which of itself is calculated to create a great deal of alarm,
without strong reason. You say you had no doubt about
Winn being the person, whom you were in search of, and
yet, having discovered her in the second floor, you proceed
upstairs to the rooms above. If you were certain the pri-
soner was that person, I cannot see what you wanted to go
there for: I can only think that you had some doubt about
the woman being the person, although you say to the con-
trary.

Constable—l had no doubt about it, your worship.
Mr, Henry—Well, I have considerable doubt about it,
and I order Winn to be discharged, Is anything known
about Collins ?

Inspector West said she was a very disorderly person,
and much given to drink.

Mr. Henry-1 shall not dispose of the charge as affects
her until some further inquiry is male about her.
The prisoner Collins was then put back to enable the in-
formation required by the magistrate to be obtained,

duplicate relating to the prosecutor's gold watch and chain
was found upon the prisoner.
Two respectable witnesses, neighbours of the parties, de-
posed to seeing the prisoner remove the gold watch and
chain from Mr. Rayner's neck en the 6th of .Tuly.
The prosecutor was recalled, and said he valued his
watch and chain at £l6. The prisoner snatched his watch
and chain from his neck so very suddenly and rapidly that
he could not. stop him.

John Good, assistant to Mr. Francis Cotter, of No. 10,
Shoreditch, produced Mr. Rayner's gold watch and chain,
which the prisoner had pawned for £3 10s. Mr. Good
said he had conscientious objections to the taking of an
oath, and claimed to make his solemn affirmation in the
terms of the Act of Parliament passed in the session of 1862.
He was questioned by Mr. Woolrych, and said he was not
a Quaker, but a member of the Free English Church at
Hackney. He attended the services of that church. Scrip-
ture said—Swear not at all. He believed the usual oath
ordinarily administered to witnesses in our courts cf justice
was taking God's name in vain.
Mr. Woolrych permitted the witness to make his solemn
affirmation, in the terms of the act of Parliament.

James Barton, a constable of the K division, said th?, pri-
soner had not been in Limehouse, or any part of the dis-
trict since the robbery. He understood the prisoner had
been to Swansea, in North Wales.
The prisoner, in defence, said he saw Mr. Rayner play-
ing at skittles on the 6th of July, and he was so intoxicated
that he fell down. Mr. Rayner then came in front of the
bar, and he took his watch and chain away, with the inten-
tion of delivering both to Mrs. Rayner, but instead of doing
so, raised £3 10s. upon them.
_ _

Mr. Woolrych—l shall remand the prisoner until to
morrow (Tuesday).

On the application of the City policeman, Saunders, the
duplicate of another gold watch, and the duplicate of two
silk handkerchiefs, taken from the prisoner, were restored
to him.
