Examination continued—l took the weight of more than
500 bales ex the Onward, and I saw the tallies affixed to
the goods. The name of the ship and the weight of the goods
were marked on the tallies. Before the bales were marked
they were taken into the yard and stored. The goods were
not moved from the stack until after the fire in November.
After the fire on the Bth of December, I assisted in taking
down part of the stack. Mr. Sedgwick, the prisoner, gave
me orders to break down 200 bales for delivery. I was
assisted to do so by a man named Burgess. Burgess asked
Sedgwick if he were to pick out any particular weights.
He said, "No, take them as they rise, this 200 will furnish

the ship, the rest are for us." I and Burgess took the 200
bales down. Sedgwick was our foreman. I don't
recollect seeing Arnot on that occasion, but some
days after the Bth of December I heard Arnott say to Sedg-
wick, as ho was standing near the new warehouse, that
Mr. John was in a very bad way about the stock of jute by
the Onward being over. A few days after a man named
Callaghan and myself received some directions as to the
bales of jute from the Onward by Sedgwick. We were
told to take the tallies of the remaining bales of the On-
ward jute. We were to place them so as they could bo
moved in a truck for re-storing. We were to be particular ;
we took the tallies off, and put them into a bag, and when
the job was finished the tallies were to be burnt. A small
bag was brought by Sedgwick for the purpose, and placed
upon some timber near the stack. We took down the
stack and put the tallies into the bag, as directed. The
bales were taken away and placed in another part of the
premises. Sedgwick was present during the whole of the
day directing the works. I saw Mr. Arnott and Mr. Alfred
Barry also present in the early part of the day. Later in
the day Dell came and "blew me up" in presence of Mr.
John Barry and Sedgwick about not returning some
"spanners" that had been borrowed. On the Friday
that I left I observed a great quantity of that pro-
perty on the wharf. There were about 350. They then
had on them tallies marked "City of Dublin." They were
in the new warehouse. I went upstairs and saw them when
I went to get something I had left. When I came back I

asked Sedgwick what he had directed Burgess to askl,
me
what I went up stairs for. I asked Lim if he thought I
was going to put a bale of jute in my pocket. I also saw
some of the bales re-marked as having arrived by other
ships. Just after I left the wharf I went on the 4th of
January and gave information of what I saw to the in-
surance officers. On the 11th of January I went to Morn--
ton's wharf. Arnott, Mr. Alfred Barry, Mr. Whiting, Mr.
Roberts, and Mr. Radnall were there.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.STEAUNG A GENTLEMAN'S WATCH.—lionry Hart, ad-
dress refused, calling himself a commission-agent, and
Ann Stevens, an unfortunate, were charged before Mr.
Tyrwhitt with stealing a gold watch, the property of Mr.
Silicourt Antelme, of No. 15, Lansdown-crescent, Not-
ting-hill.

Mr. Antelme said, he was in the Haymarket on Saturday
night when he felt his watch pulled, and he was told by
some persons that it had been taken from him. He then
found it was gone, and his chain was hanging down in
front of him. The value of the watch was about £B.

Inspector James Thomson, of the Detective Force, after
proving that the female prisoner made three attempts to
rob gentlemen, the male prisoner being close by, he on
each occasion said, that being joined by Police-constable
Gordon, 33 C, in plain clothes, he continued to watch the
prisoners, and saw the male prisoner put his right hand
into the pocket of the prosecutor's waistcoat and take out
his watch, and with a jerk and a twist wrench it from the
chain. The male prisoner then put his hand down, and
the female put out her hand as if to take something. At
this moment Gordon seized the male prisoner, and he
(Thomson) seized the female, and the watch dropped to
the ground. The prisoners were then taken to the station,
and while the charge was being entered the male prisoner
made a rush out of the dock, pushed a constable aside, and
made off, but was captured near the door and brought
back.

Mr. Sayer, from the office of Mr. Edward Lewis, Great
Marlborough-street, who appeared for the male prisoner,
said his client would plead guilty.
Mr. Louis Lewis cross-examined the inspector on be-
half of the male prisoner, but without altering the com-
plexion of his evidence, Mr. Tyrwhitt remarking that In-
spector Thomson was a very awkward person to handle
in the way of cross-examination. _ .

Gordon, 33 C, having corroborated a portion of the in-
spector's evidence,
Mr. Lewis addressed the magistrate on the female pri-
soner's behalf, stating that there were no convictions
against her.

Inspector Thomson said that was not the ease—he be-
lieved there were several, and that if a remand were
granted they should be able,to prove them.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoners for a week.

THAMES.
HOCUSSUG AND ROBBERY.---Ellen Barry, 34, and Ann
Jamieson, 34, two notorious thieves, were brought before
Mr. Patridge charged with hocussing and robbing William
Hook, the master of the ship Hector.
The prosecutor met with Jamieson in the street, and
treated her with liquor. He went home with her to a
notorious den, No. 4, Seven Star-alley, St. George-in-the-
East, where he saw the other woman, Barry. He had some
beer with them, and he had no doubt it was drugged with
a narcotic, for he became drowsy and very giddy after-
wards. His watch and gold chain, valued at £l.O, were,
taken from under the pillow of the bed on which he was
lying. He was then conscious of what the women were
about, and recovered his watch and chain. The women
promised not to interfere with his property again, and ho
replaced his watch and chain under the pillow, and was
soon asleep. When he awoke the women were gone, and
his watch and chain had disappeared. A constable named
d
Isaac Pawsey, No. 485 K, was called in, who soonit fch
