CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day

OLD COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)
Jchn Blackburn, aged 39. pleaded guilty to four charges
of burglary, and stealing plate and other articles of the value
of £3OO or £lOO.

Mr. Garforth, an Inspector of the F Division of Police,
stated that the prisoner had been a seafaring man, and
having selected a row, of houses; in the front of which
were balcmaies, he climbed into the balcony of the first
house of the row, and walking along, tried the windows of
the several houses. In several instances he effected an
entrance, ransacked all the drawers in the room, and carried
off every valuable article he was able to lay hold on, He
bad used a small strong screwdriver which was found on him
when he was apprehended. He had formerly been steward
on board a gentleman's yacht, and came to London in the
early part of the year, and soon after commenced the depre-
dations which led to his apprehension.
The Common-Sergeant sentenced him to years penal ser-
vitude.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

INDUSTRIOUS PICK-POCKETS AND PERSEVERING DE-
TECTIVES.—CaroIine Holmes and Julia Graham were
charged with attempting to pick the pockets of about fifty
ladies.

Sergeant Edward Langley, of the detective police, said
that on the previous afternoon he was standing in the
Regent-circus with a brother officer (Coathupe), when he
saw Graham place herself on the right-hand side of a lady,
the other prisoner standing in front. He then told Coathupe
to ask the lady whether she had lost anything, and she said
she had not. They then followed tho prisoners along
Oxford-street into the London Crystal Palace, down
Regent street, back into Oxford •street, to the Tottenham-
court-rcad, and then again to Oxford-street, where they
took the prisoners into custody, having seen them try the
pockets of not fewer than fifty ladies. At the station
Graham gave as her address a notorious place over the
water.

Mr. Knox said he was glad to find that the prisoners had
made so many unsuccessful attempts, as it showed that
the ladies were more careful and the prisoners' business so
bad.

Edwin Coathupe, of tho detective police, corroborated
Sergeant Langley, and said that Holmes was not known at
the address she gave.

Mr. Knot said he felt certain that if the prisoners were
remanded they would be known to the police, as there was
no doubt they were a couple of dangerous pick-pockets.
Remanded.

A SOLDIER CHARGED WITH HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—
William Gordon, a private of the Ist battalion of Scots
Fusiliers, was charged before Mr. Knox with the following
robbery :--

Alfred Cape!, a servant at 46, Dover-street, said the pri-
soner came up to him last night in Arlington-street. and
asked him the best way to the Green-park. He showed the
prisoner, who immediately said, " What's this ?" and made
a snatch at his watch chain, breaking it, and made off to
the Green.park. He, however, pursued the prisoner and
caused him to be taken into custody, but not till he had had
a struggle with him to prevent him getting over the rail-
ings.

Henry Smith, 147 0, deposed to taking the prisoner into
custody, and to the prisoner, who had been drinking, hand-
ing him a piece of chain, which the prosecutor said was his
property,

cLMarare. cleirncoilteapskriesdonthere

Ihe sergeant said it was very good, and he bad a good
conduct stripe.

The prisoner said he had been drinking.
Mr. Knox said the prisoner well knew what he was about,
and even if he had been drinking it was no excuse. But for
the good character the prisoner bad received he should have
sent him for trial. He should commit him for three months'
with hard labour.
WILFUL DAmAGE.—Mary Heatley was charged with
being drunk, and wilfully breaking a pane of glass of the
value of £2O, the property of Mr John Martin, bootmaker,
49, Pall-Mall.

John Lovelock, foreman to Mr Martin, said the prisoner
entered the shop yesterday and asked for Mr Martin, and,
on his telling her that he was out, she seized a last or boot
and smashed the windows.
The prisoner said she had lived with Mr Martin as his
wife for 13 years, but he had left her.
Mr Martin said the prisoner came twice yesterday after-
noon to his shop. The first time he pacifiei her and she
left, but the second time she came she broke the window.
Mr Knot asked Mr Martin whether he had known the
prisoner before, and Mr Martin said he had, and that she
had frequently annoyed him.
Prisoner said she was in a passion.

Mr Martin said he did not wish the prisoner sent to
prison.

Mr Knox. after cautioning the prisoner that whatever had
passed between her and Mr Martin, she must not break his
windows, ordered her to enter into her own recognisance.

WESTMINSTER.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN A DRUNKEN FlT.—Johanna
Hearne, a middle-aged Irish woman, was charged with
attempting suicide by strangulation.
James Edwardes, 241 A, said that between 12 and one
this morning he was on duty in Queen's-road East, Chel-
sea, when he heard a groan, and proceeding across the road
in the direction of the sound, for he could not see owing to
the fog. he found this woman hanging to the railings.
Mr. Arnold—How do you mean?

Witness—She had tied a handkerchief round her neck
and then attached it by means of pieces of string and other
things to the railings of Chelsea Hospital. She had then
thrown her neck back, her head hanging down towards the
road, and woull soon have been strangled had I not come
up. I had great trouble in releasing her, and had to tear
the handkerchief to pieces before I could get her free.
When I got her on her feet I found she was very drunk,
and took her to the station, where she made another
attempt on her life.
Mr. Arnold—She was drunk, you say. Did she make
a noise going to the station ?
The witness and a pollen sergeant intimated that she was
very violent both on the way and at the station, where she
became so troublesome (attempting to strangle herself
again) that it was necessary for the man to sit up in the
cell with her all night. '

Mr. Arnold (to defendant)—What have you to say to
this ?

The defendant, with an impudent laugh, replied, " Oh I
I've got nothing to say. I was mad drunk."

Mr. Arnold--Well, I shall not deal with you for the
attempted suicide, but for being drunk I shall fine you 10a.,
or scnd you to prison for seven days.
Defendant—Then, I'll do the seven days.
She was locked up.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.

Time was when the Houghton was considered to be the
finale of the season. Horses were " turned up, jockeys
had rest from their labours until the Craven Meeting, and
the curtain was supposed to have descended on the racing
exhibitions of the year. Bat, although this is still in some
measure the case, the rule no longer holds. Towns unre-
cognised by our grandfathers as centres of racing now pro-
long the season with autumnal gatherings, and Wcreester,
Liverpool, Shrewsbury, and others of lesser note put forth
attractive bills of fare, and, by ingeniously dovetailing a
little steeplechasing with the more legitimate features of
the sport, contrive to keep the great desideratum of the
present day—speculation—alive, and help the industrious
speculators over the dull season of winter. How far this
extension of the season is productive of good to the Turf
is not our province here to inquire. We only record the
fact.

The train from Shoreditchon Sunday afternoon was not
so crowded as we have seen it; but Newmarket looked full
and bus ling, and a brilliant wind-up is evidently expected,
to which the glorious weather will in no small degree con-
tribute. To-day there was nothing of any great interest in
the eight events on the card, with the exception of the
Cambridgeshire Trial Handicap, as the £5O Plate for 3-yr-
olds and upwards is teamed, and the Criterion. The issue
of the former is generally supposed to throw some light on
the great event, and this year the easy victory of Stock-
inger may probably have an influence on the position in the
betting of his stable companion, Bsthilde. Considered a
very moderate horse, ho managed with his light impost of
Est 101 b to breast the trying hill, and came in a winner in
a emmon canter, the two top weights, Twilight and Aure-
lian, beihg respectively second and third. The Maiden
Plate for 2-yr-olds was an easy thing for Rothschild, the
lot behind him being but an indifferent one, and in the
Selling Handicap Lady Derby disposed of her horses with-
out much difficulty.
The morning had been foggy, but the sun dispersed the
thick atmosphere soon after the races commenced. 'Just
before the start for the Criterion, however, it came on
denser than ever, and Admiral Rous, after consulting with
his brother stewards, postponed this interesting two •yr-old
coatest until to-morrow, when the Prince of Wales, the
Duke of Cambridge, and suite are expected to honour the
course with their presence.

As near as we could make out from inquiries made of the
riders (the heavy fog that enveloped the heath rendering it
impossible to distinguish either horse or rider 100 yards
from the stand), Lady Louisa, in company with Sweet
Willie, Liston, Revolver, and the favourite, made play to
the site of the Old Duke's Stand, where Stockinger ran
through his horses and came 011 with a clear lead, Sweet
Willie lying next, with Twilight and Tornado side by side
in the centre, and Aurelian and Disappointment, on the
upper ground, next. They ran thus to the brow of the
where Stockinger quitted his horses without an effort,
and won in a canter by three lengths, Aurelian defeating
Twilight by a length for second. Touch-and- go was
fourth, close up, Queen of Trumps fifth, Gorse sixth, Tor-
nado seventh, Sweet Willie eighth, and Vivid next. The
last lot comprised Liston, Disappointment, Waterwitch,
