CRIMINAL COURT-THIS DAY.

OLD COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)
Charles West pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing a
diamond ring, the property of Mr, Cockayne, jeweller,
Fenchurch.street.

The prisoner went into the shop and asked to look at
some rings, and after examining them he left the shop stat-
ing that he would return again. As he was leaving the
shop the assistant noticed a common paste ring lying
tray, which had been substituted for a genuine one, valued
at about £B. in the

Mr. Pater asked that sentence might be deferred, in order
that the prisoner might give information that perhaps
would lead to the recovery of the property.
The application was granted.
Thomas Harrison, a traveller, pleaded guilty to a charge
of stealing 20 yards of silk, the property of Messrs. Ellis.
The prisoner was in the habit of calling for orders at the
warehouse of the prosecutor for fancy boxes, and from
time to time the goods were carried from the stock. The
prisoner was watched and seen to purloin the goods in
question.
Mr. Sleigh in defence, said the prisoner had previously
borne an exceedingly good character.
The Common Serjeant, in passing sentence, said that
the worst feature in the case was that other persons in the
prosecutor's employ might be suspected of the robbery. He
then ordered him 12 months' imprisonment with hard
labour.

Alexander M'Bride, warehouseman, pleaded guilty to an
indictment charging him with stealing 112 yards of silk,
value £22, and 92 yards of silk velvet, value £2O, with
other goods, the property of his employers, Messrs. Morri .
son and Co.

The Common Serjeant sentenced him to six years' penal
servitude.

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)
George Brown pleaded guilty to an indictment charging
him with uttering base coin.

Brennan, the officer attached to the Mint, said the pri-
soner was one of the most notorious "smashers" he had
ever known. He had already undergone a sentence of six
years' penal servitude, yet immediately he came out of pri-
son he resumed his old occupation of passing bad money.
Mr. Commissioner Kerr said the prisoner seemed deter-
mined that no amount of punishment should deter him
from pursuing his nefarious practices. At all events he
would prevent him carrying it on for some years to come.
He then sentenced him to be kept in penal servitude fir
the term of 15 years.

POLICE-THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A BEER-SHOP KEEPER CHARGED WITH RECEIVING
STOLEN Goons.—Wm. Daws, the keeper of a beer-shop at
20, Hertford-street, Fitzroy-square, was charged with re-
ceiving a quantity of property supposed to be the produce of
a robbery, and Stephen Galvin, John Stroud, Wre. Galvin,
and Henry Gerrard, lads, were charged with stealing a
quantity of boots, a portion of which were found at the first
prisoner's beer-shop.

Mr. John Banyerfield, bootmaker, of 1, Upper Rathbone•
place, said he went to his shop and found the door un-
locked, and a lot of boots and shoes gone. He searched
the place but found no one there, and went to bed, but
afterwards heard some one in the house. On making an
examination of the premises he found that a padlock had
been taken off the front door, and Gerrard was in the pas-
sage and said be had been pushed in by two men. He then
gave him in charge. The 15 pairs of boots and shoes pro-
duced were hie property.

Sergeant Ellis Davis, 11 E, said he went to No. 20, Hert-
ford-street, a beer shop, kept by the prisoner Daws, and
asked him it some boots had been left there. After a little
hesitation he said " Yes.' Inside the parlour he (the ser-
geant) found 12 pairs, some under the table. He then
asked him if he had a man named Cole living there, and he
said he thought not, but afterwards said the boots were left
there by Cole. He (the sergeant) then took him to the
station, and afterwards searched the place, and found a
quantity of other property in the house.
Reilly, 115 E, said he went to St. Pancras-street, and
found the two Galvins Mad Stroud in bed. There were
three pairs of new boots in the room, with a little dirt on
them. The lads said they bought the boots of a man in
Fitzroy-market. _ .

Wm. Galvin said he bought them of a man named
Cole in Daws' house.

The other prisoners said they also bought the boots found
with them.

THE FORESTERS' FETE (7HIB DAY).

This morning a grand fete, in connection with "The
Ancient Order of Foresters," was commenced at the Crystal
Palace, several thousands of whom flocked into the grounds
as soon as the gates were opened. The " Foresters," with
the " Shepherds" and other orders, with Worthy
Grands," "Rangers," "Deputy Rangers," and like
officers, proceeded through the metropolis in vans, and every
other description of carriage, while others more ambitious
went on foot.

The majority of them were dressed in green velvet coats,
buff leather boots, and large -brimmed beaver hats, in which
were enormous plumes of ostrich feathers. Some of them
detracted from the imposing appearance by smoking short
pipes, which subjected them to a considerable number of
jocular remarks from the other pedestrians, many being
asked the question of whether he was the man who was to
be wheeled along the rope by Blondin. They took the
whole of the remarks with good humour, all being seem-
ingly intent to pass a pleasant day, and not to have their
tempers disturbed.
It is expected that there will be upwards of a hundred
thousand
pala of the fraternity present in the grounds of the
number of excursion trains arrived at the
differentffeerr; a
railway a
ailway stations in the metropolis all filled with
rie foresters" en route for the great meeting at Syden-
hmam.

lIALF-YEARLY MEETING'—THIS DAY.
The ordinary ha'f-yearly meeting of the directors and
shareholders of this company was held to-day at the Lon-
don Tavern. J. M, Daniell, Esq., presided.

The report, which has already appeared in The Sun,
having been taken as read,

The CHAIRMAN proceeded to move its adoption by the
meeting. The total capital received amounted to £500,698
10s., and the capital expended was £794,244 ss. 4d. The
gross receipts, from the statement furnished by the lessees
of the line, had amounted to £21,711 195., and the expendi-
ture to £15,689 ss. 5d., leaving a balance of £6,022 13s. 7d.
The present was the first opportunity that had presented
itself for the meeting of the proprietors under their new
constitution, and he had to congratulate them on the occa-
sion. The traffic on the line was nearly the same
as last year ; and this circumstance was of itself highly
satisfactory when the travellers on other lines had fallen
off. At Bow and Barking the elements of traffic were
especially good, while at Southend the building of houses
and other circumstances combined to render their prospects
for the future highly encouraging.
The motion having been seconded,

A PROPRIBTOR urged upon the directors the necessity of
making some better accommodation at Fenchurch-street
for those who wished to travel on their line. On Saturdays
and Sundays it was next to an impossibility for a lady to
obtain a ticket without having her clothes torn from her
back.

The CHAIRMAN said he wished the accommodation at
Fenchurch-street was larger and better, but all had been
done that could be done with the limited space at their com-
mand. It no doubt could be improved, but then some of
the adjoining property would have to be purchased by the
proprietors.

Another PROPRIETOR complained of the bad state of the
first-class carriages.
The CHAIRMAN said the complaint should be most
certainly attended to.

The motion far the report was agreed to.
The retiring auditors having been re-elected, the pro-
ceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman.
