ROBBERY OF DIAMOND EARRINGS OF £l5O VALUE AT A
COURT JEWisLLERS— After Mr. L'yrwhitt t ,ok his seat on
the bench this morning, at a quarter-past 11, John Rice, a
well dressed Loan, who refused his address, said he was of
no occupation, and who, at the time he was taken into cus-
tody, was wearing a watch and chain of the value of £3O,
was charged by Inspector Tanner, of the Detect ve Depart-
ment, Scotland-yard, with being concerned with another
man not in custody in stealing a pair of diamond earrings
of the value of £l5O, at 79 ♦ Br ok-street, the property of
Mr. Harry Emanuel, court jeweller.
Mr. Lewis, jun., of Ely-place, proseeuted, and Mr. Ed-
ward Lewis, of Great Marlborough•street, defended.
Mr. Lewis, jun., having opened the case, called

Mr. Arthur WM. Young, au assistant to Mr. Emanuel,
who said - On the 18th of June last, between one and two
o'clock, the prisoner and another man came into the shop,
and walked up to the counter where I was serving. The other
man asked to see some necklets,and some were shown him by
another assistant. The man said they would not suit him, and
that he wanted something more expensive. I then brought
.tit some diamond Lockett, with chains attached to them.
At that time a tray was placed on the counter by Mr.
Beasley, the assistant, an open tray about 18 inches in
length. It contained diamond brooches and earrings in
little boxes of the description of the one produced, and at
the time a pair of diamond-top earrings were in a little case.
While engaged talking to the other man I observed the
prisoner go to the tray and take out a box and lock at a
diamond orooch with the word "souvenir," in diamonds
on it, but after examining it he put it down again. The
prisoner remained at the tray for about three minutes while
I was talking to the other man, but I had not my eyes on
him all the while. At this time an assistant named
Beck entered at the front door, and the prisoner removed
from the tray, and came up to the ether man and
spoke to him, but he could not, hear what passed,
and the prisoner then left, Laving the other man behind.
The other man then in about three minu es said he would
call on Saturday and see some fine emeralds, and left, and
' directly att.-r 1 missed the pair of earrings from the tray
placed on the counter.
Mr. Lewis, jun.—l suppose the man did not keep his
promise as to calling on Saturd ty ?
The witness—He did not, and I have not seen him since.
At the time the prisoner wore the same gold chain with a
guinea attached, as that produced. From information I
yesterday received from Mr. Gough, assistant to Messrs.
Garrards, 1 went into Oxford-street, and there saw the
prisoner, who, seeing me, ran away, but I pursued him and
gave hint into custody. The prisoner had two other men
with him at the time, but they succeeeded in getting away.
On telling the prisoner the charge, he said, " Ott, you have
made a mistake, for I've been myself robbed of two £6

no; es."
Mr. Edward Lewis having put a few questions to the
witness on behalf of the prisoner,
Mr. Frederick Gough, ssistant to Messrs. Garrards, of
Penton-street, ji wellers, ice., said—Yesterday, about three
o'clock, the prisoner and another wan entered our esta-
blishment. Atter leaving, in consequence of a suspicion I
felt, I followed them, and saw teem joined by a third man
in Panton-stt set. They all went into an oyster shop, ane
then went and looked in a jeweller's window. They then
went on, and waked twice past Messrs Hunt and ILskell's,
in Bond-street, and then went into Mr. Turner's, a jewel
ler, and afterwards to Messrs. Eglise and Thomas's, in Ox.
ford-street. I gave information to the last witness.
Mr. Lewis, jun.—l shall now ask your worship for a
remand.
Mr, Tyrwhitt--I will remand them till Wednesday next

ROYAL HORTICULTURAL GARDENS.

fete this society has given
Decidettily'the irto:.t successful
since its removal to tie gardens at South Kensington was
the grand summer show of fruit and flowers held yesterday.
The weather was "bright and glorious summer" in every
sense of the term. There was a clear sky and a bright sun,
with the heat tempered by a cooling western breeze. The
entries were unprecAentedly numerous; the specimens
presented at the altar&of Pomona and Flora were of unusual
excellence. and the company was highly distinguished. In
the floral part of the exhihition the ro.e3, which as usual at '
this season form the great attraction, were for
the most part of wondrous perfection, and in
almost endless variety. Ferns and foreign plants of
the variegated-leaved species were also numerous,
the caladias, bigonias, and other kindred species being
largely in the ascendant, and all first class. In the fruit
department the grapes were conspicuous, both for slue
and form, and the peaches, nectarines, strawberries, and
cherries were marvels of gardening skill. Amongst the
company present we observed the Queen of Prussia at-
tended by the Countess Schulenbourg, the Countess
Schwerin, Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, and Count
Boos ; their Royal Highnesses the Princess Helena and
the Princess Louisa, attended by Lady Caroline Barring-
ton and the Honourable Mr. West ; the Luchess of St.
Albans, Duchess of Sutherland, his Excellency the Russian
Ambassador, Baroness de Rothschild, Lord H. Lennox,
Duchess of Montrose, Lord and Lady Powlett, Marquis of
Bristol, Lady Granville, Earl of Orkney, Lady Farnham,
Lord and Lady Claude Hamilton, Lady Lismore, the Earl
and Countess Manvera, Sir Charles Knightley, Sir William
Clay, Bart., Lord Clifden, the Dowager Countess Ashbrook,
Lady Doughty, Earl Howe, Lord Dynevor, Lady Foley,
Lady Bridport, the Countess Albemarle, Lord Otho Fita-
gerald, Lady Keating, Lord Robert Clinton, Lord Charles
Fitzroy, Lord Harris, Lady Byles, Sir Watkin and Lady
Wynn, Lady Beily, and Lady Lucie. The bands of the
Grenadier and Fusilier Guards were in attendance, and per-
formed varioas popular pieces during the morning. A dis
play of white china, Celadon and Majolica, from Minton's
china and glass depot, South Aud!ey-street, attracted con •
siderable and deserved attention.
