BOW •STREET.

Elizabeth Haydon was placed at the bar on remand,
charged with stealing a gold watch and chain.
The prosecutor, the landlord of the Golden Cross, King-
street, Long-acre, said the prisoner was engaged as a sort
of casual servant, and on the day of the robbery she asked
permission to go out for half an hour. About half an hour
after she had gone the watch and chain, which but a short
time before had been safely lying on the drawers in his bed •
room, were missing. Suspicion fell upon the prisoner, but
she never returned to the house.

Police•constable F 118 said he saw the prisoner on the
day of the robbery enter a hansom cab with two men and
another woman and drive off. They returned in the ev.41.-
ing, but they were very much intoxicated. When h 3 first
saw the prisoner he had no knowledge of the rubbery, but
on its being made known to him he immediately took steps
to find her. As he was going to her place of residence in
Beifordbury he saw her standing at the entrance to
Brewer's•court, and immediately she saw him she ran up
the stairs of the first house in the court, and upon the land-
ing of the top flight he succeeded in taking her into custody,
When he told her he wanted her she replied, " I've not
got it." He had not then told her she was su,pectt,cl of
stealing the watch. The prisoner's male companions were
the associates of old and well known thieves.

Prisoner—That's false. I wonder you don't sink through
the floor for uttering such lies.
Mr. Henry—You are sure that you had not told her of
the robbery of the watch ?
The constable replied that he was certain he had not.
The prosecutor said on a former occasion the prisoner
said she went home and went to bed after she left his
house. The constable now proves that instead of that she
was riding about in a Hansom.

Mr. Henry remanded the prisoner in order to give the
police an opportunity of finding the watch,
FORGERY BY A CLERK.—Henry Mudd, formerly a clerk
to Mr. Dunn, solicitor, 15, Knight Ryder-street, was
charged with forging an order, and obtaining goods thereby.
The prisoner, it appeared, -suddenly left the services of
Mr. Dunn, and in a few days after a boy entered Mr, Kerr's
shop in Chancery-lane and presented an order, purporting
to be signed by Mr. Dunn, asking that a skin of parchment,
with a 355. stamp upon it, and two reams of paper,
might be sent to him. As former goorls had been ob
tained by fictitious orders, the boy was given a roll of parch-
ment and some paper, and then watched. He was observed
to giveit to the prisoner, who was waiting outside, and then he
having given the boy a trifle for his trouble, went to a shop
in the neighbourhood, and offered the goods for sale. A
policeman was called, and the prisoner was given into
custody.

City police constable 45 said the prisoner had undergone
12 months' imprisonment for a similar offance.
In answer to the charge, the prisoner said he was guilty,
and asked the magistrate to settle it summarily.

Mr. Henry said he could not do so. It was a charge not only
of forgery, but by means of that forgery he had obtained
the goods produced. Even without the former conviction,
he could not dispose of it. But when the case was taken in
conjunction with the former punishment he had undergone
it became a very serious one.

The prisoner was then fully committed for trial.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SHOCKING BRUTALITY.-A rough dirty-looking fellow,
who gave the address 45, Charles-street, Drury-lane, was
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following gross
cruelty to a dog, Mr. Wm. Love, chief officer of the Royal
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, attend-
ing to prosecute.
James Ashton, clerk at Mrs,Wild's news rooms, Leices•
ter-square, said he was in Fowler•street, St. Martin's-lane,
yesterday evening about 7 o'clock, when he saw the pri-
soner hold a small brown dog under the mouth of a large
white one, so that the latter might bite the brown one. The
prisoner did this about a dozen times, the white dog biting
the brown one each time. The brown dog got away from
the prisoner and went and laid on its back apparently in
great agony, with its eyes dilated. The prisoner ran after
it, brought it back, and again held it to be bitten by the
white dog. He (witness) then went for a constable and
gave the prisoner in charge ; and on making inquires that
morning heard that the brown dog was dead.
Police-constable Wm. Cosstick, 81 C, said that on going
to the spot at the request of the last witness, he saw a large
crowd of rough fellows assembled, a sort of ring formed,
and the prisoner in the centre of it setting a little dog on a
large one. The large dog seized the other just under its
ear, and it cried bitterly, and on his pushing through the
crowd to take the prisoner he was about setting it on again.
The large dog also received a bad bite on its breast, and was
trampled upon, and he was told that it had been killed that
morning.
Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the constable whether he saw what
became of the little dog at the time.
The constable said that it crawled away, being badly
bitten.
Prisoner said he only tried to separate them.

The constable said that was not true, and the prisoner's
conduct was most cruel.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said the fact was, the prisoner was one of
those savages who inhabited that part of London, and any.
thing that inflicted pain on another was a pleasure to them.
The prisoner was fined 40s. or a month.
