ROBBERY BY A FASHIONABLY DRESSED WOMAN.—A young
woman attired in a handsome silk dress and other appro-
priate clothing, who gave the false name of Rosena Mont-
gomery, was placed at the bar charged with the following
export robbery :
Ann Mappledorum, a respectably attired woman, living
at 1, Cherry-bridge-road, Pimlico, said that last night
about 7 o'clock she was going over Vauxhall-bridge, when
she was met by the prisoner and another woman equally
fashionably attired, and they asked her the way to Chelsea
Cottage. She directed them to the best of her ability, and
while she was doing so they robbed her of her purse.

•
Mr. Arnold—How do you know that they stole your
purse ?
Prosecutrix—l had it safely in my pocket with the
money it contained, which was fortunately only 3s. 9d
in silver, at the time I passed the toll-gate at the bridge,
and I missed it the very moment after the prisoner and
her companions left me. I then turned round, hastened
after them, and overtook the prisoner just as she was
leaving the bridge. She told me she would give me £2
if I would let her go. She made that offer repeatedly,
at first in reply to my charging her with having stolen
my purse, and she said a gentleman had picked the purse
up on the bridge.
Prisoner—She wanted the money she had lost, and I re-
plied that I supposed she would like £2.
John Lively, hackney-carriage attendant, Millbank, said
he took the prisoner into custody, who repeatedly offered

the prosecutrix £2 to let her go.
Mr. Arnold (to prisoner —I find you have refused to
give your address.
Prisoner—l have just buried my father, and I did not
like to give my address because of exposure.
Prisoner was remandbd.

THAMES.

A TOWER HILL ROBBERY.—John Herrod, alias Ahearn,
alias Heron, a well-known thief, was brought up on re-
mand before Mr. Paget charged with stealing a watch from
the person of Mr. William Dick, of Castle-road, Old Bent-
road.
On the 18th of the present month, at half-past 12 o'clock
in the day, Mr. Dick was passing over Tower-hill, and
stopped in the middle of a crowd to see a man performing,
and his watch disappeared immediately. He saw the chain
drop from the prisoner's hand, and seized hold of him. He
let him go again whilst he looked for his watch. The pri-
soner decamped, and was followed by the prosecutor to the
Black Horse, in Leman-street, Whitechapel, where he
gave him into custody.
The prisoner asked Mr. Dick if he did not offer to be
searched. The reply was in the affirmative, but the offer
was made after the watch had been handed to a confederate.
Mr. John Nicholls, clerk, of Edmond-road, Bow, was
standing alongside the prosecutor, and saw a movement as
if the prisoner had taken his watch, and saw a man run
away from behind the prosecutor.
The prisoner made a long defence, which was all taken
down in writing by Mr. Bowdler, the second clerk, who
certainly exhibited great patience. The defence amounted
to this : that a crowd assembled on Tower-hill, that he
went to see what was the matter, that he was accused of
stealing a watch, and that he made an offer to be searched,
which was rejected.
Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial.
HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—Frederick Coventry, aged 19, and
described as a tailor, of Tabernacle-walk, Shoreditch, was
charged with committing a very daring highway robbery
in Ratcliff-highway, where there is generally a lawless set
of scoundrels and loose women preying upon sailors and
others.
Last night a sailor was passing along Ratcliff-highway,
when he was stopped by the prisoner and three other fel-
lows. He endeavoured in vain to pass on. The thieves
hustled him. and the prisoner snatched his watch from his
waistcoat pocket, and ran away with it. He was pursued
by the sailor, who called " Stop thief " as loud as he
could. A police constable named John Shep-
pard, 43 H, was in Princes-square, near the Swedish
Church, when the prisoner approached Sheppard, stopped
him, and the prosecutor came up directly afterwards, and
said " that is the man who robbed me of my watch."
Sheppard took the prisoner into a private house, searched
him, and found the prosecutor's watch upon him.
The prisoner, in defence, said that he picked up the
watch, and he certainly ran away with it because if he had
given it up to its owner, and mentioned how he found it,
he would not have been credited.
The prisoner was committed for trial.

THE VOLUNTEERS

2D SURREY ARTILLERY BRIGADE.

The ceremony of the presentation of prizes to
members of this corps for carbine shooting during
the past year took place on Tuesday night, under
very favourable auspices, in the excellently con-
structed hall at the headquarters, Gresham-road,
Brixton. The room was most tastefully decorated ;
and photographs of incidents in connection with the
corps placed round the room lent a novelty to the
scene which was much admired. The tickets said
" evening dress or full uniform."
The chair was occupied by F. DOULTON, Esq.,
M.P., who, after some remarks on the rise and pro-
gress of the volunteer movement, introduced Col.
M'Murdo to the notice of the assembly.

DEER IN HYDE-PARK.—We also recollect the
small herd of deer in Hyde-park, so tame that they
would follow children and their nursery-maids about, and
feed on the bread and biscuits they gave them. It was a
pretty sight. In this way the deer became very fat, and
at the proper season one or two bucks were killed for the
royal table, and were said to be far superior in fatness and
flavour to any others of the parks. We have understood
that the deer were removed from Hyde-park in consequence
of the number of pet dogs which were shot by the keeper,
and which occasioned a great many complaints. Their
removal, therefore,, appears to have been a wise measure
under the circumstance stated, especially in a park so much
frequented by the public.—E. 10467 in " Once a Week."

THE UN, -LONDON, THURSDAY tVENING, JANUARY 26, 1865.

The bankrupt's brother admitted that he had asked his
sister to sign the bills, and that he had passed them to a
creditor, to whom he owed £3OO. He did this because
security had been asked for. Witness had been bankrupt,
and his order of discharge had been suspended for three
months.

His Honour considered that the bankrupt had given bills
without reasonable means of being able to pay them,
and therefore the order of discharge would be suspended
for six months, with protection for two months.
(Before Registrar Winslow.)
IN RE CHRICHTON.

This bankrupt was described as a commission agent of
the Baltic and Dundee trade, and to-day came up for his
order of discharge upon debts £14,856, with no statement
of assets. An application was made for an adjournment, in
order that further accounts might be filed.
Order accordingly.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)
TELEGRAPHIC MESSAGES AND THE PUBLIC-IMPORTANT

DECISION.

THE ELECTRIC AND INTERNATIONAL TELEGRAPH COMPANY

V. BESSET.

This was an action to recover 9s. 9d. extra charge upon
a message sent by the defendant to Constantinople some

time ago.
A gentleman who appeared for the company said that
the defendant sent a message in French to Constantinople,
and the clerk who estimated it charged six words short.
It had been found that the party who penned the message
had joined some of the words together, and this misled the
clerk, who did not understand the language.
Defendant (who is a foreigner) urged that it was the duty
of the company to have charged a proper sum at first. He
had sent a certain message which the company contracted
to carry to Constantinople for a given price. Defendant
apprehended that this was the only contract between him-
self and the company, and that the latter- could not recover
any excess that might arise.
His Honour endeavoured to explain the matter to de-
fendant without avail, until a long conversation ensued in
French, when the defendant said it was the duty of the
telegraph clerk to estimate the number of the words in the
message when it was left at the office.
His Honour pointed out to the defendant that the com-
pany charged under a certain tariff, and that tariff was so
much per word. If the company had only charged 40
words, and there proved to be 46, then it was clear the
charge for the six words could be recovered.
Defendant thought it was very hard upon him.
His Honour—You have received the value of the 46
words, and must pay for them, but I shall not allow any
costs, as I think the company ought to have sued the de-
fendant before. Here is a delay of nearly twelvemonths.
Plaintiff's representative—We applied directly the mis-
take was found out.
His Honour—But you may have misled the defendant
by this long delay. You ought to employ a clerk who un-
derstands French if you contract to carry messages in that
language.
Verdict for plaintiff without costs.

LONDON, THURSDAY, JAN. 26, 1865.

Herr Vox BISMARK is now in his glory, laying
down the law, and settling various matters relative
to the carrying on f public affairs. In so doing he
allows himself to be troubled by neither scruples of
conscience nor care of offending others. The rule of
conduct that seems henceforth likely to guide Prus-
sian statesmen is to be a 'very narrow and selfish
one, and entirely to exclude all consideration and
the influence of higher motives than those that are
dictated by the policy of the moment. It is not
likely that such a course can be pursued without
great altercations arising, and controversies con-
tinually taking place among those who feel them-
selves aggrieved with the powers that" be. But such
casualties do not, it would seem, disturb the serenity
of Herr VON BISMARK to any great extent,
and his native element appears to be that
of discussion and abjurgation. The passage
of arms which took place in the Chamber
of Deputies fully expresses the feelings that

out to (the then) Mr. Alcock what he knew well
enough, viz., that a foreigner, or a native either,
could not blow his nose in Japan without the
fact being officially tabulated. It is simply idle in
Sir R. Alcock, at this time of day, beginning to
bandy words with Japanese authorities, and to affect
a belief that they are willing, if they can, to produce
the murderers of those two young officers. He knows
better than that. If there is one man more
thoroughly acquainted with Japan than another—
we mean among foreigners—Sir Rutherford Alcock
is that man. When we had no force to speak of in
this part of the East, Alcock was all for war ; and
now that we have an unprecedentedly large force,
he shows an inclination to temporise. Of course it
is impossible to depend upon mere rumour with
regard to public men ; but when a gentleman of
Sir Rutherford's diplomatic standing in the East
is suddenly recalled, which is virtually an evi-
dence of his policy being disapproved of by his
superiors in office, people are justified in imagining
that his mode of procedure has not given satisfac-
tion. Were it not that the present minister in Japan
were loosed from his duties and responsibilities, we
are certain that he would speedily avail himself of
the strong force at present at his command in China,
and give the Japanese a lesson they would not soon
forget. In the meantime we simply draw our
readers' attention to the state of affairs as they at
present appear ; and it may simply be added that it
would be much better for us to withdraw altogether
from Japan than to quietly submit to such indigni-
ties as those at present perpetrated upon us. It is
to be hoped that the Home Government will give
heir serious attention to the question."

THE VOLUNTEERS

2D SURREY ARTILLERY BRIGADE.

The ceremony of the presentation of prizes to I
members of this corps for carbine shooting during
the past year took place on Tuesday night, under
very favourable auspices, in the excellently con-
structed hall at the headquarters, Gresham-road,
Brixton. The room was most tastefully decorated ;
and photographs of incidents in connection with the
corps placed round the room lent a novelty to the
scene which was much admired. The tickets said
" evening dress or full uniform."
The chair was occupied by F. DOULTON, Esq.,
M.P., who, after some remarks on the rise and Col.
gress of the volunteer movement, introduced

DEER IN HYDE-PARK.-lAre also recollect the
small herd of deer in Hyde-park, so tame that they
would follow children and their nursery-maids about, and
feed on the bread and biscuits they gave them. It was a
pretty sight. In this way the deer became very fat, and
at the proper season one or two bucks were killed for the
royal table, and were said to be far superior in fatness and
flavour to any others of the parks. We have understood
that the deer were removed from Hyde-park in consequence
of the number of pet dogs which were shot by the keeper,
and which occasioned a great many complaints. Their
removal, therefore, appears to have been a wise measure
under the circumstance stated, especially in a park so much
' frequented by the public.---E. lose, in "ChKe a Week."

WESTMINSTER.

ROBBERY BY A FASHIONABLY DRESSED WOMAN.—A young
woman attired in a handsome silk dress and other appro-
priate clothing, who gave the false name of Rosena Mont-
gomery, was placed at the bar charged with the following
expert robbery :
Ann Mappledorum, a respectably attired woman, living
at 1, Cherry-bridge-road, Pimlico, said that last night
about 7 o'clock she was going over Vauxhall-bridge, when
she was met by the prisoner and another woman equally
fashionably attired, and they asked her the way to Chelsea
Cottage. She directed them to the best of her ability, and
while she was doing so they robbed her of her purse.
Mr. Arnold—How do you know that they stole your
purse ?
Prosecutrix—l had it safely in my pocket with the
money it contained, which was fortunately only 38. 9d.
in silver, at the time I passed the toll-gate at the bridge,
and I missed it the very moment after the prisoner and
her companions left me. I then turned round, hastened
after them, and overtook the prisoner just as she was
leaving the bridge. She told me she would give me £2
if I would let her go. She made that offer repeatedly,
at first in reply to my charging her with having stolen
my purse, and she said a gentleman had picked the purse
up on the bridge.
Prisoner—She wanted the money she had lost, and I re-
plied that I supposed she would like £2.
John Lively, hackney-carriage attendant, Milbank, said
he took the prisoner into, custody, who repeatedly off e red

the prosecutrix £2 to let her go.
Mr. Arnold (to prisoner)—l find you haire refused to
give your address.
Prisoner—l have just buried my father, and I did not
like to give my address because of exposure.

Prisoner was remanded.

THAMES.

A TOWER HILL ROBBERY.—John Herrod, alias Ahearn,
alias Heron, a well-known thief, was brought up on re-
mand before Mr. Paget charged with stealing a watch from
the person of Mr. William Dick, of Castle-road, Old Kent-
road. •
On the 18th of the present month, at half-past 12 o'clock
in the day, Mr. Dick was passing over Tower-hill, and
stopped in the middle of a crowd to see a man performing,
and his watch disappeared immediately. He saw the chain
drop from the prisoner's hand, and seized hold of him. He
let him go again whilst he looked for his watch. The pri-
soner decamped, and was followed by the prosecutor to the
Black Horse, in Leman-street, Whitechapel, where he
gave him into custody.
The prisoner asked Mr. Dick if he did not offer to be
searched. The reply was in the affirmative, but the offer
was made after the watch had been handed to a confederate.
Mr. John Nicholls, clerk, of Edmond-road, Bow, was
standing alongside the prosecutor, and saw a movement as
if the prisoner had taken his watch, and saw a man run
away from behind the prosecutor.
The prisoner made a long defence, which was all taken
down in writing by Mr. Bowdler, the second clerk, who
certainly exhibited great patience. The defence amounted
to this : that a crowd assembled on Tower-hill, that he
went to see what was the matter, that he was accused of
stealing a watch, and that he made an offer to be searched,
which was rejected.
Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial.
HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—Frederick Coventry, aged 19, and
described as a tailor, of Tabernacle-walk, Shoreditch, was
charged with committing a very daring highway robbery
in Ratcliff-highway, where there is generally a lawless set
of scoundrels and loose women preying upon sailors and
others.
Last night a sailor was passing along Ratcliff-highway,
when he was stopped by the prisoner and three other fel-
lows. He endeavoured in vain to pass on. The thieves
hustled him. and the prisoner snatched his watch from his
waistcoat pocket, and ran away with it. He was pursued
by the sailor, who called " Stop thief " as loud as he
could. A police constable named John Shep-
pard, 43 H, was in Princes-square, near the Swedish
Church, when the prisoner approached Sheppard, stopped
him, and the prosecutor came up directly afterwards, and
said " that is the man who robbed me of my watch."
Sheppard took the prisoner into a private house, searched
him, and found the prosecutor's watch upon him.
The prisoner, in defence, said that he picked up the
watch, and he certainly ran away with it because if he had
given it up to its owner, and mentioned. how he found. it,
he would not have been credited.
The prisoner was committed for trial.

LO DON, TUESDAY, MARCH 14, 1865.

The subject to which Mr. FITZGERALD called
the attention of the House last night is one of great
importance, and the right hon. gentleman was fully
justified in making it the theme of his discourse. In
some respects this debate was the most interesting
of the session, from the number of influential
speakers who took part in it, and from the significant
nature of the question itself. Mr. FITZGERALD
alluded to the report of Colonel JERVOIS
respecting the defences of Canada, and
requested the Government to impart in-
orraation concerning it. There was great truth
in his remark that the wisest policy was to have
Matters laid before the House in a straightforward
fashion, for such a course is not near so likely to
induce suspicion and engender angry feelings as
the reserved style Which it is thought convenient
and deemed advisable to adopt in so many instances
where important questions are involved. Her
MAJESTY'S Government also fully merit the charge
imputed to them of having invested the subject with
the most unfavourable aspect in consequence of the
paper laid by them before Parliament, Which docu-
ment gives the most unsatisfactory impression re-
specting the chances we should have in a war with
the United States. Mr. FITZGERALD performed his
awkward task with great discretion, and adopted a
conciliatory tone, which was wise and patriotic,
when we remember how apt the partizans of the
Federal Government are to pervert all that,is said in a
discusiion of this sort, and to declare tha4n angry tone
