Mr. Ribton appeared for Meggs and Jacobs.
Thomas Maverty, police-constable 43 N, said on Saturday
night, the 12th September, he was employed to watch the
barges on the Regent's Canal, and saw a barge called the
Derby near to Whiteman's-lock, steered by Meggs and drawn
by one horse. He saw Escott on the towing-path and then
lost sight of him for a time. The next time he saw him he
was on the barge as it came from under the Queen's-road
bridge. Meggs was still steering and the two prisoners were
talking together. After passing two other bridges they got
to the Kingsland-road-bridge, and there he missed the pri-
soner Escott, but soon after he saw him come from under
the tarpaulin which covered the cargo. He got on deck by
the side of Meggs, who was still steering, and he rubbed his
hands as if rubbing something off. The barge went on till
it got between Macclesfield-street-bridge and the tunnel,
and there it stopped. He saw the tug take two barges out
of the tunnel and they were then unfastened and a horse put
to, and as the last of the two barges passed the barge the
prisoners were in, Escott came from amongst some trees and
ran down the embankment. He threw a sack which he was
carrying into the last of the two barges, and then ran to the
railings by the side of Macclesfield-bridge, climbed over
them and got into the road. Witness stopped him and took
him into custody. He asked witness what he stopped him
for, and he told him that he was a police-officer, and took
him into custody for stealing something from the barges.
He shouted out as loud as he could that he had thrown no
sack into the barge. He was taken to the station-house,
and on him was found a chisel, a pair of pincers, a brad-
awl, and a quantity of new curls. He refused his ad-
dress. He said he did not deny having thrown the sack
on to the barge, but he did not know what it contained.
Witness went on board the barge Derby at King's• cross, and
found that it contained a cargo of sugar. There were seve-
ral bags that appeared to have been opened, and sugar was
scattered about. Three bags of sugar were found deficient
in weight. In tits bottom of the barge, near to the bags, he
found a knife, but Meggs denied all knowledge of it.
Police-constable Peter Devitt, 92 N, said ho was with the
last witness on the night in question, and saw Escott on
board the barge speaking to Meggs. There was a tarpaulin
covering the cargo. When they got under the Macclesfield-
street bridge Escott was in conversation with Meggs. There
was a clump of trees under which the barges lay to wait for
the tug to tako them through the tunnel, and the Derby lay
there. After they passed the Macclesfield-bridge he saw
Escott throw a sack into the boat. He came from a clump
of trees on to the footpath and threw it into the stern of the
last barge. Jacobs was steering the barge, and he was, the
only one on deck. Witness Followed tho barge, and saw
Jacobs take hold of the sack end pull it towards him. At
the lock he met Jacobs coming away. and asked him where
the sack was that the man had thrown on board. He denied
having seen it, but witness went to the stern of the barge,
and there found a sack containing 931 b weight of sugar. He
took the sack away, and left Jacobs in custody. Escott and
Jacobs having been taken to the station, they went back to
the barge and took Meggs into custody. He was questioned
as to who the man was who had rode in the barge from
Whiteman's-lock, but he denied that any one had been with
him. Many of the bags had been ripped open, and apparently
sewn up again with fresh string.

Josiah Thorogood, an officer in the employ of the Great
Northern Railway Company, said on the evening of Satur-
day, the 12th of September, he was with Maverty and
Devitt, watching the barge Derby in the Regent's-canal.
He saw Escott get on board the barge, near the Queen's-
road bridge. The sugar on board the barge was piled into
two tiers, witb a passage between to reach the cabin. Escott
continued on board the barge till it got to the tunnel mouth
at Duncan-terrace, where it was stopped under some trees.
Escott then got over some railings, but was detained by the
officer Maverty. He took Jacobs into custody, and asked
him what business he had on the barge. He said he asked
the gentleman to give him a ride, and that he was the man
that he saw throw the sack on the barge. He was taken
to the station-house and searched, and on him was found a
chopper, a pair of pincers, a bradawl, some small nails, and
string. He had seen the bags which formed part of the
cargo of :the Derby, and they were mended with string
similar to that produced. The barge on which the sack of
sugar was found was going in the direction of r wigg-folly,
Bethnal-green. Escott's house was about four minutes'
walk from Twigg-folly-bridge.
John Platt, foreman to Mr. William Vokins, said the
prisoner Meggs was in his employ, and had charge of the
barge Derby.

Alfred Maynard, of Queen's-place, Hackney-road, deli-
very clerk at the London Docks, said on the 12th of Sept.
he delivered into Vokins's barge 300 bags of sugar, ex
Theresa. He had seen three of those bags in court, and they
were not in the same state as when they were put on board,
and they seemed slack as if some of the sugar had been
taken out. He would not have passed them in the state
they were in.
This was the case for the prosecution.
Mr. Orridge and Mr. Ribton then addressed the jury on
behalf of their respective clients.

A Mr. Harrison gave the boy Jacobs agood character,
and said that he had employed him for 12 months.

The Assistant-Judge summed up the evidence, and
The jury found all the prisoners guilty, but recommend-
ing Jacobs to the mercy of the Court on account of his youth.
Mr. Cooper said that the Great Northern Railway Com •
pany were almost daily receiving letters from Canton and
all the British colonies complaining of goods being ab-
stracted from boxes which had passed over their line, and
rubbish substituted for them, and in this way property to
the value of about £l,OOO had been stolen.
The Assistant-Judge wanted to know if any goods had
been missed from this neighbourhood since the prisoners
had been in custody.
Mr. Cooper said none whatever.
The Assistant-Judge inquired whether the boy had been
looked after by his parents.

Thorogood, the officer, said ho had not, and for months
he had watched him riding on the barges.
The Assistrlnt-Judge sentenced Jacobs to be imprisoned
for one month, and then to be sent to a reformatory for
three years. With regard to the two other prisoners, their
offence was a serious one, and the sentence upon them was
that they be kept in penal servitude for three years.

of Dr. David Begg, well knowing

The prisoner pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Poland prosecuted, and Mr. Sleigh defended the pri-
soner.

Mr. Poland, in his address to the jury, said the case was
rather a remarkable one, because the offence with which the
prisoner stood charged was committed in November, 1861.
At that time the prisoner was keeping a public-house at
Hyde, in the parish of Hendon, and while in the occupation
of the house a person of the name of Chas. Mariner, a car-
man, in the ordinary course of his duty, visited the house
for the purpose of refreshment, and on the day in question
the carman stopped at the liing's Arms, which was kept
by the prisoner. A circumstance occurred at the time
which need hardly be mentioned to the jury, and that was
the fact of two police-constables being concealed in an
outhouse. The waggon driven by the carman was
drawn up in front of the house, the prisoner being at the
door. A stand was placed in front of the horses with hay
in it, for the purpose of feeding them. The carman took
one of the nose-bags and placed it down on the ground,
close to the cart, and then afterwards fetched the other bag.
The two bags were then handed to the prisoner, who imme-
diately took them into his house out of sight. The two
constables immediately came out
j of their hiding-place, and
went into the house, and the jury woad hoar that they
found the prisoner in the act of emptying the nosebags into
his own bin. The constables would state that the bags ought
not to have been left at the house. The carman, on the oc-
casion in question, left his team and made his escape. The
prisoner was taken into custody, and the magistrate dis-
charged him, saying that he would be liable to be brought
up again, there not being sufficient evidence to convict him,
but he would be liable to be apprehended if the carmen was
caught. In March, 1862, the carman was taken into custody,
and the magistratesat Hendon on hearing the evidence sen-
tenced him to be imprisoned for two months. The prisoner
on hearing of the apprehension and conviction of the car-
man absconded, and was 'not found until September last. In
his (Mr. Poland's) opinion, the jury. having heard the evi-
dence would immediately bring in a verdict of guilty.
Wm. Chambers, police-constable 365 S, said he was on
duty on the 21st November, 18d1, at Hyde, Hendon, about
8 o'clock in the morning, watching the house of the prisoner;
another constable was with him concealed in an outhouse
also watching. A waggon containing turnips was driven up
to the house. The carman came out into the road, and after
looking up and down the road went back to the waggon and
unbuckled two ncsebags from the fore part and took them to
the prisoner's house, who was standing against the door-
way. Prisoner was seen at the door several times before the
waggon came up. Witness with the constable went into the
back part of the house, and in a pantry the prisoner was dis-
covered emptying one of the bags (the other being on the
floor) into a bin. He was told the bags were wanted, when
the prisoner replied, You can take them." The bags were
removed and the prisoner taken into custody. The carter
made his escape through the house, The prisoner, when
taken into custody, said he had merely had the bags left
with him until the carman returned from London.
Charles Marsh, police-constable 195 S, corroborated the
evidence of the last witness as to being with WI in the out-
house, lie OW the waggon drawn up, Wert with turdliPe.

Mr. Sleigh then addressed the jury on behalf of the pri-
soner, contending that there was no intention whatever to
commit a robbery, the bags being merely left at the house
until the carman returned from London. He trusted that
the jury would not convict this man, who up to this time
had borne an irreproachable character, but that they would
immediately restore him to his wife and children.

Mr. Edwards, cab proprietor, of Lisson-grove, Edgware-
road, said he had known the prisoner for 5 years, and he
always bore a good character for honesty.
Mr. James Dando, of 38,Easton-read, said he had known
the prisoner for 15 years,and during that time he had never
known anything against him.
A person of the name of Jeremiah Brown, of Bedford-
row, gave the prisoner a good character for 16 years.
/dr. Payne then summed up, and
The Jury returned a verdict of not guilty, considering
that there were very serious doubts in the case.
The prisoner then bowed to the jury and left the dock.

spLEIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

TlMes.—Often have powerful, wealthy, and
famous Sovereigns set foot in this country as visi-
tors, but never has there been one to whom it would
bo more graceful to give a cordial welcome than
the young King of the Greeks, who is now among
us for a short time previous to beginning his arduous
career of government. The very great ones of the
earth, the chiefs of powerful empires, exact by their
lofty rank a splendid and somewhat ostentatious
hospitality. Courts array themselves magnificently
to do them honour, civic corporations and companies
display their wealth, regiments parade before them,
Universities offer their heavy adulation, fashion
them reverentially in an opera-house, the
gazes on
multitude shout after them heartily in the streets.
Such a reception the young King of the Greeks
will not expect or desire. He is a youth, and these
I stately ceremonials require full-grown and self-
, collected men to play the chief part in them. He
is yet untried, and a welcome of this kind is more
suited to those who have lived and acted, and
moulded the Policy of their time. We may hope
that the day will come when King George, in the
prime of life, and renowned throughout Europe for
the ability and honesty by which he has made his
little kingdom quiet, contented, and prosperous,
may again visit England, and receive from an
appreciating public the tribute of their esteem.
At the present time he comes in almost a private
character. His family has been united with the
reigning family of this country, and he visits
as a foreign Sovereign, but as a near
them, not
and friend.
relative His position, too, justifies
a serious and reserved demeanour. He ascends the
throne of a strange country, and casts his lot among
a restless people who have lately driven their former
Sovereign from their capital. Arduous undertak-
ings should be begun quietly, and nothing is more
suitable than that the Danish Prince should avoid
anything like a parade of his new Royalty until he
has founded it securely. But it is sympathy for a
very young man placed at one of the most difficult
posts of European politics that will chiefly prevail
in the minds of Englishmen. It will require no
formal public demonstration to make the King feel
that we watch his entrance on the public stage with
interest, and will do our utmost to insure his success.
In many
ways England is bound up with the for-
tunes of the Greek Alonarchy. In the first days of
the revolution, 40 years ago, Englishmen showed
their wonted enthusiasm for liberty. Tney were
the first to bail the dawn of Greek independence.
They gave the patriots material aid; they made
their cause famous throughout the world. Oratory
and poetry combined to call up enthusiasm for the
little bands that were struggling against the
Turkish Pashas. The old policy of this country
was abandoned in favour of the new nationality,
and carried away by enthusiasm for Grecce, we
,
actually joined the Emperor Nicholas in destroy•
ing the naval power of the Ottoman State. Having
given these proofs of Philhellenism in early days,
we did not cease to act for the good of the little
kingdom all through the reign of the unhappy
Otho. Although more than one dispute took place
—although a kind of political animosity seemed to
the two countries, it has been

the principles on which England acted towards
them. Our statesmen and people protested against
the doings of the Court of Athens. After years of

gave their anti-British Sovereign
opinion, for they
his dismissal, and immediately appealed to England
to find them another. The part which the Govern-
ment of this country has had in placing the present
King on the throne must make the future position
of Greece a subject of great interest for us. How-
ever much we may disclaim any responsibility, and
declare that King George is a stranger to us, and
free to live with his subjects on what terms he
pleases, it is certain that the world will look upon
him as in some degree the representative of English
ideas, if not of English influence. He is the brother-
in-law of the Prince of Wales; he was suggested to
the Foreign Secretary of Eng-
the Greek people by
land. He may be supposed to have been warned
by the downfall of the prince, who, with his ener-
getic consort, was so unfriendly to English policy.
He may be looked upon as imbibing political lessons
from the country with which his family is so closely
connected. The envious may say that the cession of
the lonian Islands will not be forgotten by him,—
that that splendid endowment will induce both
Sovereign and subjects to study the wishes of their
benefactors. There will be much truth mingled
with the misrepresentation which will take place on
these matters. Although any English politician
who attempts to obtain the useless and invidious
thing called
" inflUenCe" will be most assuredly con-
demned by the public opinion of his countrymen,
yet it will be impossible to prevent some natural
relations subsisting between the Court of Athens
and our own, between the Constitutionalists of the
Greek Chambers and the statesmen of England.
That it is the wish of the Greek people that such
relations should subsist is plain from their conduct
ever since they dethroned the late King. They
have in the most emphatic manner expressed their
desire to draw near to England politically, and to
make their second trial of self-government under
the influence of her institutions. It will be very
difficult to avoid giving advice to such eager pupils,
and when once the world has formed the notion that
King George is governing on English principles,
our credit will be in some measure staked on his
success.

POST.—Amongst the many conflicting accounts
received concerning the operations of the Federal
and Confederate armies in Tennessee, the only point
on which no doubt can now be said to exist is the
serious defeat sustained on the 20th of September
by General Rosencranz. The first day's engage-
ment—namely, that of the 19th—is claimed by the
North as a drawn battle; but when that of the
succeeding one came to a close it is admitted, even
by the Press of New York, that the Federal army
consisted of a mass of demoralised troops retreating
from the field of battle in the wildest disorder.
Some divisions, honourably distinguished from.
_the
rest, took up a position along the base of a ridge
of mountains, and succeeded, by repelling the
advance of the Confederates, in covering he
tt retreat
of the remainder of the army. Heavy as he 1088
was sustained by the Federal General, it is a matter
for surprise that it was not heavier. According to
the Northern estimate, it is now believed that he
lost upwards of ten thousand men in killed, wounded,
ani missing, independently of fitty pieces of artil-
lery and a large quantity of war material. The
Confederates have seldom been enabled to turn their
victories to account, and the present instance has
apparently proved no exception to the general rule.
The loss of the battle of Chickamanga Creek may
ultimately necessitate the abandonment of the line
of the Tennessee by the Federal army, and if it
does so the Southern forces will have secured a sub-
stantial success. But a battle evidently so decisive
in its results as that of the 20th September, in
which the Federal troops were not only routed, but
the army broken up into detached fragments,
ought, one would have supposed, to have been fol-
lowed up with a crashing blow. The left wing,
which, under the command of General Thomu, re-
tired to Roaoyille, has, it appears, succeeded in

rejoining the main body under Rosencranz, at
Chattanooga, and as up to the 24th ult. no attempt
was made by the Confederates to dislodge the Fede-
ral army from its undoubtedly strong position at
this last-mentioned place, it is probable that for
some time at least the Northern General will re-
main unmolested. The Government at Washington
are thankful for small mercies, and congratulate
themselves and the public that the army to which
the conquest of the Central States was entrusted, is
in comparative safety. The movements of the Con-
federates are conducted with so much secrecy, and
efforts of the r-Torthern Generals to obtain accurate
information respecting either the position or the
strength of the Southern armies have uniformly
proved so unavailing, that only the scantiest mate-,
rials are afforded for criticising the operations of
the Confederate Generals. At the present moment
the Government of Washington are totally igno-
rant what forces composed the army which, under
the leadership of Bragg, has inflicted on the
army of the Tennessee so disastrous a defeat. There
can, however, be but little doubt that Bragg re-
ceived considerable reinforcements subsequent to
his evacuation of Chattanooga, although it was not
at the expense of the army which, under Lee, holds
the south bank of the Rapidan. The Government
at Richmond are far too sagacious to risk the loss of
a battle in Virginia, and the possible seizure of their
capital, for the doubtful chance of obtaining a vic-
tory in Tennessee. For some time past an engage-
ment has been imminent in Virginia, and it rests
with either of the generals commanding the rival
armies to provoke a contest at a few hours' notice.
A portion of the Federal cavalry is reported to have
advanced in the direction of Gordonsville, and some
skirmishing has taken place. If Gen. Meade should
in truth contemplate a general Engagement, he will
be compelled to attack the Confederate army at a
considerable disadvantage. Gen. Lee commands
the principal fords of the Rapidan, and, if the wea-
ther in America has at all resembled that which we
have experienced in England during the past few
weeks, that river will be swollen to such an extent
as to render it a very formidable barrier against the
Federal advance. The interval of inactivity per-
mitted to the grand army of the North, since its
exploits at Gettysburg, has been protracted suffi-
ciently long to tire out the patience of Mr. Lincoln's
Administration ; and if the reports in circulation
are to be credited, the Aulic Council at Washington
have directed their general to resume the offensive.
If this be so, it is manifest that, in regard to their
social policy, the fruits of experience are thrown
away upon the Federal Government. The aggressive
movements of the Confederates have been so con-
stantly unsuccessful that there is but little probe-.
bility of Gen, Lee assuming the offensive. If this
year's campaign in Virginia is to conclude with
another series of battles, the Confederate General
will take care that they will be fought on ground
of his own selection.
