MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ROBBERY AT A JEWELLER'S.-OUTRAGEOUS CASE,
- _ _

Adrian Brim, described as an interpreter, no address, and
Auguste Tortinet, commission agent, of 40, Silver•street,
were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a gold
watch and chain of the value of £lB, the property of Mr.
Charles White, jeweller, of 146, Great Portland-street.
Mr. Albert interpreted.
Mr. Charles White said on Monday last Brun came into
his shop and said he had been at work at the Great Exhibi-
tion and wanted to take a good gold lever watch home with
him to F rance. I told him I had not got one then, but
yesterday Brun called with the other prisoner and approved
of the watch, and then Brun wanted to see a gold chain. I
showed him a curb chain with a key and white stone. Brun
then wanted to know the price of the chain and watch.
While I was writing Brim threw something like snuff or
salt in my eyes, and off they went, taking one of the watches
with them. The watches and chain were on the counter
separate from each other. I rushed round the counter after
them, but hardly could see, being almost blinded. I ran up
Clipstone-street and overtook the tall one (Tortinet) about
half way between Bolsover-street and Carburton-street.
I pursued Brun, and he threw the watch away from him,
but it was not much injured, being a hunting watch. On
getting back to the shop with Brun I missed a chain. I
asked him whether he threw the stuff in my face or the
other, and he said he did it. Thinking he might give me
another doze, I seized him, and then gave him into cus-
tody. At night I went to the address Brun gave, and there
I saw Tortinet, but not the chain. The watch was worth
£l5, and the chain £3. I produce the watch, but the chain
has not been recovered. I then gave Tortinet in charge.
Mr. Albert read over the evidence to the prisoners.
Boyd, 197 B, said—Yesterday afternoon I was called into
Mr. White's, and took Brun into custody for throwing
something in Mr. White's eyes, and then stealing a watch.
Prisoner, on the way to the station, said he had done so
because he had no money. At the station Brun wrote the
address where they could find the other man (Tortinet).
At 8 o'clock I went to 40, Silver-street, and took him. into
Custody, Mr. White being present at the time.
In answer to a question. Mr. White said he was positive
as to the prisoners being the same men, for they had been
to his shop two or three times altogether.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for a week.

SOUTHWARK.

A MUSICIAN IN TROUBLE.—A well-dressed genteel
young man, who gave the name of William Parker, was
charged with stealing a purse containing 205., the property
of Mrs. Mary Annie Groves, who resides at Potter's.fields,
Horslydown.

The prosecutrix said last evening, as she was return*
home along High-street, in the Borough, and opposite
Southwark-street, the prisoner who had been following her
for some time, pushed up against her right side, and when
she looked at him be ran away. She found that she had
lost her purse, and called out " Stop thief," and afterwards
she saw the prisoner in custody of policeman 494 A. She
identified the purse produced as her property.
The prisoner, in reply to the magistrate, said that he was
a violin player, although he had previously described him-
self as a traveller, and that he had come up from Ports •
mouth only the day before. He heard the cry of thief, and
with others joined in the pursuit, when he was stopped by
the constable, and afterwards given into charge by the pro-
secutrix. He asked the latter if she saw him take the pursi,
and he answered in the negative, and he then denied all
knowledge of the robbery.

David William Creek, a sailor in the Coast-guard ser-
vice, said that been 8 and 9 o'clock last night, as he was
proceeding along High-street, he heard the prosecutrix cry-
ing out "stop thief," and the prisoner running away. Ha
followed him about 200 yards from where the prosecutrix
was standing. He picked up the purse produced.
The prisoner repeated his denial of all knowledge of the
transaction, but in reply to the magistrate said that he
would prefer having the case summarily dealt with to being
sent to the sessions.

Mr. Combe explained that he could not dispose of the
case unless the prisoner admitted his guilt without the ac-
companying statement of innocence.

The prisoner then pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 6
months in the House of Correction.

WESTMINSTER.

BURGLARY.—George Williams and Henry White were
brought before Mr. Ingham, charged with breaking and
entering a house as follows :

Mr. Edward Norris, licensed victualler, proprietor of the
Old Star and Crown, Broadway, said that about one o'clock
that morning he was awoke by a policeman. He got up
and opened the window, when the officer said that there
was some one in the house. Witness went downstairs and
let the constable in. Almost immediately he found
Williams, who was brought to him. He was taken to the
station-house.;

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 29, 1862.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, AUG. 28.
The Commissioners of Fisheries are at present in
Galway, holding meetings and receiving " all such
pertinent evidence as shall be offered on the sub-
ject of the Fisheries," having been called upon to
make a by -law to prohibit the use of nets in the
River Clare, Galway. Messrs. F. Brady and J.
R, Barry are the Commissioners. It appears that a
number of gentlemen interested in the subject signed
a requisition asking for this inquiry, and that netting
should be prohibited in that river, which is long and
narrow, containing every facility for spawning, and
suitable for angling, but not for netting. There
were 2,500 salmon caught in it by angling during
last season. The lessees have spent £3,000 in bring-

ing the fishery to its present state. The cases of

poaching have diminished from 56 five years ago to
four last year. 80 men are employed protecting
the rivers round Lough Corrib. In summer, the
river is sometimes dried up and the fish left in pools.
Two years ago, a gentleman killed 16 fish in this
river in one day, and 68 in one week. Witnesses
were of opinion that if the proprietors were per-
mitted to net the river the fish would be annihilated.
Even here not one fish is taken for ten that were
taken in former times. One of the witnesses stated

that shortening the season one fortnight would do
more to preserve the fishery than the prohibition
of netting.

The report which was in circulation for the last
few days that the convicE Walsh had offered to dis-
close the names of the persons who employed him
and Beckham to murder Mr. Fitzgerald, and that
in consequence his life would be spared, turns out
to be groundless. He has made no revelations, and
the Lord Justices, in reply to his memorial for
mercy, have stated that they see no reason for in-
terfering with the course of justice. He will be
hanged on Monday.
A few days since a passenger on his way to Holy-
head went on board the Munster mail steamer at
Kingstown. Feeling unusually cold, when, trying
to ascertain the cause, he found one of the legs of
his trousers cut open. This had been done by a
pickpocket, while he was getting his luggage on
board. The object of the operator was to let the
purse drop out. la this he failed, but be managed
so expertly as to escape detection, and probably he
was looking on, amused at the awkward predica-
ment of his intended victim as to his dress.

There was a dense fog in this city yesterday
morning. It also covered the Irish Channel, ren-
dering navigation difficult and perilous. The
Munster mail steamer was delayed beyond her
time, and the mails were landed by the boats of the
Ajax, which had been sent to the mouth of the
harbour to serve as guides. The Liverpool steamer
got across the mouth of the harbour, and, while in
that position, the Munster was within a few feet of
running into her. The signal guns of the war ship,
which were fired at intervals, served to prevent
accidents.
