MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CAUTION TO JEWELLERS, Irc. —John Green, describing
himself as a turner, and giring the address " White-
horse Hotel, Fetter-lane," was charged before Mr. Knox,
with attempting to steal a quantity of jewellery by break-
ing a pane of glass, the property of Mr. Page, jeweller
and watchmaker, Great Portland-street.
The prisoner, with two other young men not in custody,
was seen by a boy standing in front of Mr. Page's win-
dow. The boy then saw then discharge something at a
pane of glass, breaking it, and he then informed Mr.
Page, who rushed out of his shop and secured the pri-
soner, the others managing 0 escape. The prisoner was
then given into custody.

Mr. Knox remanded the przoner.
It appears that lately robberies at jewellers have taken
place, the plan adopted by the thieves being to stand in
front of the window and then to discharge some substance
against the glass, and having broken it to abstract from
the window by means of a piece of bent wire valuable
property.

WESTMINSTER.
WILFUL DAMAGE BY A DRUNKEN MAN.—Harry Scrater,
a respectable-looking man, was charged with being drunk
and incapable of taking care of his horse and cart, and
thereby causing damage to the amount of £5 to a horse.
Mr. William Scutts, a farrier, of the New Kent-road,
said he was going from Westminster-bridge along George-
street towards St. James's-park, at 20 minutes past 8 on the
previous evening, in a cart with his son. The prisoner
was driving another cart, coming from Westminster, and
when opposite the cab rank at King-street tried to got in
between the rank and his cart, being on the wrong side of
the way. He was very drunk, and his cart came into col-
lision with witness's. The shaft was broken, witness's
pony was nearly killed, and he and his son were thrown
from the cart into the road. The prisoner's near shaft
caught the pony in the chest. They could not get out of
his way, and were at walking pace, the prisoner going at
about six miles an hour. The damage done to the pony
alone was £4 or £5, and the cart would require a new
shaft and other repairs.

Charles Scutts, the son, corroborated last witness. The
prisoner was incapable of either driving, or sitting, or
standing. He was lying down in the cart. The accident
was entirely his fault. Had the shaft. gone two inches
further the pony would have been killed. Prisoner was
alone in the cart.

Prisoner, in reply to the charge, said he had had some-
thing to drink, and he was sorry for it.
Mr. Charles Stuart Jolly, corn merchant, prisoner's mas-
ter, 84, York-road, Lambeth, said he had known him for
several years, and had employed him four months. He
was a vory steady man. He had seen the pony with a
veterinary surgeon that morning, and the damage was esti-
mated at £2, which he was willing to pay. The pony
would have to lie by three days.

The parties could not agree as to damage.
Mr. Selfe said he would leave the damage for the County
Court. A drunken man like the prisoner have might done
serious damage tollife:and limb, and he might think himself
lucky he had not.
He was fined 40s. or a month.
•
His master paid the money.
