(Before the Recorder.)
THE ROBBERY AT LORD CHESTIAM'S.
Roderick O'Lochlin and Arthur Hewitt were indicted
for feloniously breaking and entering the house of Charles
Compton Cavendish, Baron Chesham, and stealing there-
from a large quantity of plate, jewellery, watches, and
ether property valued at upwards of £l,lOO.
The prisoners were captured by the police as they were
getting over the garden wall of his lordship's house in Gros-
venor-square.
The jury found them both guilty. They were ticket-of-
leave men.
The Recorder said as they had life-preservers upon their
persons, it was evident they had provided for any resis-
tance, and as they had both before been sentenced to penal
servitude for four years, he should on the present occasion
sentence O'Lochlin to 10 and Hewitt to 15 years penal ser-
vitude.

It appeared from the evidence that prisoner went into
Mr. Stevens' shop about nine o'clock the previous night
and asked to see a visite card. Mrs. Stevens took one from
the window, and the prisoner objected to the price, and
asked to see another. Mrs. Stevens took a second card
from the window, and while doing so prisoner said, " What
a fuss you are making." Mrs. Stevens then felt her dress
trod on, and directly after the prisoner bolted out of the
shop, when Mrs. Stevens missed her purse from her pocket,
containing the sum of £1 12s. Bid. She told her errand-
boy to pursue the prisoner, and ha did so, Mr. Alfred
Murray, staymaker, of Duke-street, also joining in the
pursuit, and seen the prisoner throw the purse away in
his flight. Lazarus Howes, 95 C, then came up and took
the prisoner into custody, when the prisoner, with much
coolness, asked the constable " Whether anything was the
matter ?"
Inspector Charles Bowles asked for a remand that
inquiries might be made to see if prisoner was known.
The prisoner was committed for trial, but will be again
brought up.

gets his living by hawking books about the neighbourhood
of the Haymarket, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with
the following cowardly assault on a female named Oates,

on her way to see an invalid female, and when crossing the
Lop of the Haymarket, having at the time a bottle of port
wine under her shawl, the prisoner asked her to buy a book

violent blow on the chest with his fist, breaking her brooch,
smashing the bottle, and hurting her a good deal. A con-
stable then came up, to•whom she gave the prisoner in
charge.

THAMES.

CRUEL ROBBERY.—Henry Moore, aged 20, and described
as a labourer of Hind-street, Poplar, who is well known to
the police as a tcuter to crimps, a thief, and ruffian, was
brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing 29
sovereigns, a gold watch, a silver watch, a chain, a gold
brooch, and a coat, the money and property of Thomas
Taylor, a bricklayer.
The prosecutor, his wife, and seven children arrived in
the river from Melbourne, in the ship Essex, early yester-
day morning. His destination was his native place, New-
castle-upon-Tyne, and he intended to proceed there by the
steamer from a wharf in Wapping, and he engaged a man
named Mabey to convey his luggage in a van to the wharf
from which the steamer was to depart. The prisoner
came on board the Essex in the course of the morn-
ing, and pretended that he was employed by Mabey to
take away some of the prosecutor's luggage. The prose-
cutor gave prisoner some old straw beds, and directed him
to remove them from the ship. The prisoner did so, and by
some means obtained pos session of Taylor's coat, which
contained all his money, his watches, and other property he
had accumulated by his industry in Australia. On missing
the coat he went in seach of the prisoner, and made known
his loss to the police. In the course of his inquiries he
ascertained that a man called " Happy" had left the stolen
coat in the shop of a marine store dealer, named Horace
Buchan, in Robin Hood-lane, Poplar. Taylor waited upon
Buchan, who delivered to him the coat, and the coat only,
for the money, watches, brooch, ring, and other articles
were gone. In the course of yesterday afternoon the police
tracked the prisoner to a beerhouse in Poplar, and took him
into custody.

In answer to Mr. Woolrych, a police-constable named
Gillmore, No. 324 K, said the prisoner was known as
" Happy," and was a most notorious thief.
Horace Buchan, of Robin Hood-lane, marine-store dealer,
said "Happy" brought the prosecutor's coat to his shop
and left it there, and also brought two or three straw beds
and a bag, since identified by Taylor, to the shop at the
same tire.

Mr. Woolrych condemned the conduct of Buchan, and
said he ought not to have received the coat of such a fel-
low as the prisoner, and could not pretend to be ignorant
of who and What " Happy'' was: It was a most cruel rob-
bery. A poor man directly be returned to his native land
Was basely plundered of his hard-earned money and other
property. He should remand the prisoner until Saturday.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK LANE.

The supply of English wheat on offer here to-day was
very moderate. Selected parcels were in fair demand, at
Monday's prices; otherwise, the trade was dull, at about
previous quotations.

With foreign wheat, both ex ship and ex granary, the
market was well supplied. Prime Dantzic and American
produce changed hands to a moderate extent at late rates.
Russian qualities were dull, and rather cheaper; otherwise,
the trade was quiet, on former terms.

Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly at previous
currencies.

The value of all kinds of barley was well supported; but
the trade—owing to more favourable accounts respecting
the crop—was far from active.

Malt was in good demand, and prices ruled firm.
The oat trade was less active, and, in some instances,
the quotations were somewhat easier. The market was
well supplied.

Bears and peas ruled firm, at fully p'revious rates.
Most kinds of flour were in moderate request, and prices
were steadily supported.

rupt had held a very high station and position in society.
He had rank in the army, having served with great distinc-
tion, and to all appearance ho was a man of fortune and
affluence. He embarked recklessly and improvidently in
the banking speculation. He was driven to quit the coun-
try, and now he appeared at the bar of the Court a pauper,
without health and without means, to petition for leave to
do that which he ought to have done years ago—disclose
the estate which he had. This certainly was a very melan-
choly position for a man of the bankrupt's antecedents. His
Honour concluded by saying he could not grant the prayer
of the petition unless the bankrupt brought the £5OO, or the
assignees consented to waive that requirement.
Mr. Linklater said he would communicate with the as-
signees, and the case was adjourned for a week.

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.)
• CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER.
Henry Short, shoemaker,• was indicted for the man-
slaughter of James Sully. The jury found the prisoner
guilty, and the learned judge sentenced him to one month's
imprisonment.

Ana Doggett was indicted for the manslaughter of her
husband.
The deceased carried on the business of an ironmonger in
High -street, Shoreditcb, and his death was occasioned, it
was alleged, by the neglect of his wife (the prisoner).
The Learned Judge was of opinion that the evidence
offered was not sufficient to establish the charge, and the
jury accordingly returned a verdict of not guilty.
