WESTMINSTER.

A very respectable woman made an application to the
magistrate this morning for advice. She said her husband,
a confirmed lunatic, had escaied from the asylum, and was
wandering about London threatening her with vengeance.
She had been until lately living away from England, but
she was fearful some injury might result to her personally,
as she was about to become a resident in London. The
magistrate said if the man was a confirmed lunatic steps
ought to be taken for his reccpture, The wife said there
was not much doubt of tha-, as he had given all his money
to a wife from whom ho had been divorced. The applicant
also wished for protection to her personal property. The
magistrate told her, as her husband had not deserted her,
but had been taken to a lunatic asylum, he could not in-
terfere.

THAMES.
A THIEF IN THE SAILORS' HODIE.— Griffith Evans, a
Welchman, was charged with committing several robberies
in the Sailors' Home in Well-street, Wellclose-square.
On Thursday night last a seaman, named Edmund Ford,
staying in the Home, lost 278, and a knife, and on Saturday
morning another mat iner, named James Chapman, missed
a new overcoat, valued at 50s. Mr. Newman, one of the
stewards of the institution, on being made acquainted with
the robbery of the coat, gave information to all the pawn-
brokers, leaving - shop keepers, and clothiers, and
furnished them at the same time with a descrip-
tion of the coat. On Saturday afternoon the prisoner offered
the coat in pawn at the shop of Mr. Tarrant in Cable-street,
Whiteehapel. He was detained and given into the custody
of Adam Carr, 40 11, who searched him and found upon him
the knife stolen from Ford on Thursday night. It was ex-
plained by Mr. Newman that the stewards were respon-
sible for all losses sustained by inmates in the Home, and
that the number of inmates staying there at present was
over 200. The prisoner had been an inmate for several
days, and left 10 days ago. Of course the prisoner was
well acquainted with the place, and being dressed as a
sailor no suspicion was excited when he passed in and out.
The prisoner, who pleaded guilty, treated the charge
with considerable indifference, and said he took the coat
by mistake. He was told by the magistrate that the affair
would not be treated as a mistake, and that he was sen-
tenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour in the
House of Correction.
