'MIDDLESEX SESSIONS-IMarch. 14.

(Before the Assistant• Judge.)
Henry Percival, 20, clicker, John Beaumont, 20,
lapidary, Simon Ulaydon, 30, smith, and Henry
Blake, 29, dealer, were indicted for breaking and
entering the dwelling-house of Robert Ellis Roberts,
and stealing securities of the value of £1,700, and
other articles. _ _

Mr. Collins proseeuted ; Mr. Horry defended
Claydon, Mr. Pater defended Blake ; the other two
prisoners pleaded guilty.
This robbery was committed on the evening of
Feb. 16, at :32, Rheidoi- terrace, Islington, while the
prosecutor and his family were at chapel. On his
return he found a policeman in possession, and the
whole house in confusion. An iron safe had been
opened and everything turned out of it. Among the
articles missed were railway debentures value £7OO,
and consol scrip of the value of £l,OOO. They had
been taken out of the iron safe.

The case for the prosecution was that the pri-
soners acted in complicity in committing this
robbery.
The prisoners were detected by Herbert Slam-
mers, 136 N, whose conduct in the matter was
highly eulogised by the court, and would be repre-
sented in the proper quarter.
The prisoners were found guilty. Blake solemnly
protested his innocence.
His lordship said he would postpone sentence
until next session, and the prisoner who had so ear-
nestly protested his innocence must take the conse-
quences of a searching inquiry that would be made.
A prisoner, named Rooke, was brought up for
judgment, he having been convicted of stealing tools
from the International Exhibition at Kensington.
Mr. Dickie appeared for the prisoner; Mr. Po-
land prosecuted.
The prisoner's wife was in attendance, and with
a baby only three weeks old, went on her knees
and.prayed for mercy for her husband.
His lordship said he hoped the prisoner would
never do the like again, and sentenced him to three
days' imprisonment, which term, dating from the
commencement of the sessions,had already expired.
He would therefore be immediately discharged.
The wife burst into tears on hearing his lord-
ship's words, and said she should bless him for ever.
In the case of Price and others, convicted of
stealing and receiving sugar, the property of Chris-
topher Geils, the court ordered a reward of /3 to
police constable Dunnaway,l29 H, with a direction
that it should be represented to the proper quarter,
and also a reward of £3 to the boy John Moore, who
was the principal witness in the case.
Edwin Cook, 27, was convicted of stealing a watch
from the person of George Schreide, at a running
match at Brompton. Two former convictions were
proved against him, and the court sentenced him to
six years' penal servitude.
George Lee, 41, and Ellen Whitts, 33, were con-
victed of stealing pots from public-houses. Lee, an
old offender, was sentenced to three years' penal
servitude, and the woman to twelve months' hard
labour. She was a trainer of young thieves.
Two prisoners, named Anthony and Williams,
were convicted of attempting to break and enter
dwelling-houses by means of burglarious imple-
ments, and for being, without lawful excuse, in pos-
session of such instruments. They were each sen-
tenced to two years' hard labour.

A number of ordinary cases were disposed of.
