I POLICE-THIS DAY.

. ,
iMARLBOROUGH-STREET.
A WELL-KNOWN PICKPOCKET AT TILE " PANTHEON
BAZAAR."—Mary Ann Greenwood, a well dressed female,
and well known to the police, was chat ged with picking the
pocket of a lady in the Pantheon Bazaar.
Miss Starnette White, of The Grove, Victoria-park-
road, said that on the previous afternoon, while at the
Pantheon Bazaar with her sister (Miss Sophia White), the
prisoner and a companion pushed against her, and then
1
lapologised for so doing. Immediately after, on putting
her hand to her pocket, she (prosecutor) missed her purse,
containing a sovereign, two half-sovereigns, and a quantity
of silver. The prisoner then started off, and her companion
offered the purse to her (prosecutor's) sister, who would
not take it, and she then threw it on the ground, and she
(prosecutor) picked it up and told a gentleman standing by
that she had been robbed and he went after and stopped the
prisoner, who said she was not the person who had robbed
her.

Mr. Henry Ximenes, of Maidenhead, Berke, said that
while at the Pantheon with his family he heard the lady
say, " That person has robbed me—stop her," and he went
after her and did so. The prisoner's companion said, "Oh,
dent stop her, let her go; the lady has get her purse."
The prisoner was then given into custody.
Barns, the gaoler, said the prisoner had been at the court
before,
Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for six months with
hard lab, ur.
ROBBERY AND VIOLENCE.—Cyrus Pratten, Matthew
Ellmer, and James Gordon were charged with stealing four
bottles of ale from a cart, the property of Messrs. Benjamin
Smith and Co., bottled ale and stout merchants, Exeter-
hall. Edward Ellmer, also, with assaulting a carman,
named Charles Winskell, in a violent manner.
The carman said, while in Langham-street, he was in-
formed the prisoner had taken some bottles of ale out of the
cart. He went after them and asked them for them, and
they denied having any, but under the coat tails of each
was a bottle. He went after the prisoners again into a
public-house, when Ellmer attacked him, and he was
obliged to have leeches to his eyes.

In answer to a question, the witness said he did not
charge Ellmer with stealing the bottles, only with the
assault, and that the prisoners were given into custody
subsequently.

Stone, 137 E, said he was at home yesteriay afternoon,
when, hearing a cry of "Police" and "Murder," looked
out of window and saw the prisoners and another running,
but knowing they were a turbulent lot, took no further
notice, but subsequently took them into custody, when
Ellmer owned to striking the carman [he had received
violent treatment].

Mr. Knox said he should remand the case for a week,
but he would take bail for Gordon.

THAMES.

DARING HIGHWAY ROBRERY.—David Briant, aged
22, who was stated to he better known by the name of
"Irish Davy," was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged
with stealing a watch, value ten guineas, from the person
of Robert White, a seaman belonging to the ship Warrior.
The prosecutor said he was passing along St. George-
street, b, ttpr known as Ratcliff Highway, lest night, when
the prisoner and two other fellows pushed against him as
if by accident, and the prisoner put his hand on his shoal.
der. He said to him, " What do you want ?" on which
the prisoner " whipped his watch away like lightning."
He saw the prisoner run away with the watch and saw him
caught. The watch was worth ten guineas ; it had been
in his possession ten years.

The Prisoner—What do you say ; I am not the man
White said he could not recognise the prisoner.
The Prisoner—Of course not. You had not time to see
me or one any else.

White—l had not time to see him. He is exactly the
man, I think.

Robert Small, a seaman, said--4 saw the prisoner make
a snatch at my shipmate's watch and take it away. He
bolted away wiih it, and I ran after him. He went into
a house in Palmer's-folly. He was just in the passage.
Another fellow came and prevented me taking him, and he
seized me and nearly throtttled me. The witness was much
hurt, and there was a mark on his throat.

Police-sergeant Edward Dillon, No. 19 K, stated that
he sa .v the prisoner in Ratcliff•highway with two others
three-quarters of an hour before the robbery. Directly the
prisoner was brought into the station house this morning
he was idenified. The prisoner was well versed in the line
of cross-examination he had adopted, and never did any-
thing else but thieving both in Ireland and in England.
The place called Palmer's folly, where he was sheltered
for several hours after the robbery, was the most vile place
in the district, and full of thieves and low prostitutes.
There had been several convictions against the prisoner,
who was now wanting for a robbery on the Derby day at
Epsom.

The Prisoner—l have been a bad character,:but am re-
formed. (A laugh.)

Mr. Woolrych—And committed a daripg highway rob-
bery last night—a precious reformation truly. I shall com-
mit you for trial.

The prosecutor said he was going to sea in a day or two.
Mr. Woolrych was very sorry such a dangerous character
as the prisoner would escape penal servitude this time. He
sentenced the prisoner to three months' imprisonment and
hard labour, for being in the public street with intent to
commit a felony.

METROPOLITAN RAILWAY-( THIS DAY.)

The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was held at
one o'clock, at the London Tavern; Mr. W. A. 'Wilkin-
son in the chair.

The report having been taken as read,
The CHAIRMAN moved its adoption. He commenced by
expressing regret at the delay in the opening of the line,
which he said would be easily understood by those who
were acquainted with all the difficulties which had been en-
countered. However, within the last two or three days Mr.
Fowler had carried them through the line. (Cheers.) As
regarded the necessity for more money. that arose partly
from the novelty of the undertaking, and partly from alte-
rations and extensions. The making of the line as origi-
natly proposed, he was happy to say, had not exceeded the
estimate. (Hear, hear.) When the line was commenced
no one expected the present number and character of sta-
tions. The board felt that they must do everything in
their power to entice the public. Omnibuses ran over the
line almost the whole way, and great efforts were required
to compete with them. The company had taken land
which for the present added to their burdens ; but he be-
lieved would ultimately prove remunerative. Owing to
these various causes they required £300,000 more, and they
appealed to the meeting to give them the means of raising it.
Mr. PARSON (deputy chairman) did not think any apology
was needed for asking for additional capital. Original
capital to the extent of £lOO,OOO bad provided for works
not contemplated at the outset, and the shareholders were
now asked to replace it. The extension of the line to Smith-
field was a matter of great importance. The bargain with
the corporation was complete. There were negotiations
with the Great Western Railway Company, the object of
whic was to secure to that (the Great Western) company
more than half the substructure of Smithfield ; and if
they were successful, the result would be very beneficial
to the Metropolitan Company. They had surplus land
of the value of £lOO,OOO, and they had been obliged to
purchase 20 houses in the vicinity of Baker-street
Station, and 20 morn in the vicinity of Gower-street Sta-
tion. The line would be opened on the Ist of October, and
almost everything was already paid for. (Cheers.) The
line had in fact been constructed under the original esti-
mate. Adverting to the contemplated extension to Moor-
gate-street, he observed that there were other parties who
were prepared to meet them there by a line running east-
ward. The Great Northern Board considered an exten-
sion of the Metropolitan line to Earl-street, Blackfriars,
where it would meet the London, Chatham, and Dover
line, even more important than the extension to Fins-
bury, and that matter was under consideration. If it
had not been for the Fleet-ditch accident the opening
of the line would have taken place immediately after that
meeting. The immediate money damage from that disaster
was nothing compared to the loss of time; but the matter
was one over which they had no control, It was satisfactory
to know that one effect of this delay had been to place the
Fleet-ditch in a state which secured them against ac-
cident in future; and it was fortunate that the defects of
that ditch were discovered before the ling was opened for
traffic.
The report having been adopted, it was announced that
the line would be open on Saturday, the 30th inst., to the
inspection of the proprietors, and that they would be in-
vited by circular.
The meeting was then made special, and a resolution was
passed authorising the raising of £300,000 in 30,000 shares
preferential dividend of 5 per cent.
of £lO each, bearing a
per annum, £2 10s. to be paid en the 3:st August and the
remainder by three equal instalments, there being an inter-
val of four months between each payment, the proprietors
to have the option of paying up at once in full.
BANK OF EGYPT.- (THIs DAY.)

The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors was held at
2 o'clock in the London Tavern—Alr, Tite, M.P., in the

chair.
The report having been taken as read,
The CHAIRMAN,
in moving its adoption, after congratu-
lating the meeting on the fed4ction of the debt of Prince El
llarai Pacha to £6,000, said little doubt was entertained
that the other principal outstanding debt, which had been
reduced to £32,000, would ultimately be recovered. On the
whole, he said, though the advances were imprudent, there
was no cause for apprehension.
The report was adot,ted, and a dividend at the rate of 7
per cent. per annum declared.
