WILFUL DAMAGF, AT A PUBLlCAN'S.—Margaret
Sullivan, a prostitute, ri..sidiug at 4. Bell court, S.
Andrew's, was charged before Mr. Borker with dis-
orderly conduct, and wilfully breaking a square of
glass, at the Coach and Horses public-house, Leather-
lane, the property of Mr. Roberts, licensed victualler.
Frederick Farrell said be was barman at the Coach
and Horses public-house. That morning, at about
half-past five, the prisoner entered the house and
made a great disturbance, and used bad language.
' She wished to be served, but in consequence of her
bad conduct he declined, and ordered her to leave
the house, Au she refused, and still made a
disturbance, he put her out, when she made a blow
at him with a key, but it missed him and went
through a square of glass. The damage done was
£l, the glass being plate, and embossed.
The prisoner said she did not break the window,
nor did she cause a disturbance. Her friends were
served, and she did not see any reason why she was
not.

Police-constable Miller, 17 G, said the prisoner
was a very violent and low prostitute. When he
took her into custody and told her the charge, her
hands were covered with blood, and she said it was
a -- good job.
Mr. Barker said that the case was clearly proved,
and fined the defendant 58. and the amount of the
damage, or in default, 14 days' hard labour in the
House of Correction.
The prisoner, who said she had no money, was
locked up.

in WESTMINSTER --THE EXTENSIVE ROBBERY
OF WATCHES AT THE EXHIBITION.—Tho lengthened
inquiry into the charge against Robert Lutley,
very respectable young Swiss, who has undergone
several examinations, charged with stealing a case
of valuable gold watches from the International Ex-
hibition was now closed.
Mr. Lewis, jun., for the prosecution, having called
the owner of the property to identify it, said he had
no further witnesses to produce, and should feel
perfectly content with the course the magistrate
might take.
Mr. Kearsey, solicitor, directed by the Consul-
General of Switzerland, to defend the prisoner, ad-
dressed the magistrate at great length and with
much ability in his behalf, showing that he was in
a highly respectable position in life, and that he
had a large sum of money standing to his credit,
which he could avail himself of at any time, and
that a vast number of witnesses would show that it
was impossible he could be the man who was in the
Strand pawning watches at 11 and between 11 and
12, as sworn to by the pawnbrokers, or the person
pawning others on the same day in Oxford-street,
at three and four.
Nearly 20 witnesses were then called in support
of the defence to show that the prisoner was in the
Exhibition at the hours stated, and also accounting
for his time throughout the day:
Mr. Arnold observed that this was a most extra-
ordinary case, not so extraordinary with respect to
the identity of the prisoner, as that in every stage
of the proceedings during this lengthened inquiry
the evidence tendered with a view of crimina-
ting the prisoner had suggested to his (the
magistrate's) mind the idea of his innocence.
The charge was that the case of watches was missed
from the Exhibition at about half past 10, and the
evidence called to criminate the prisoner went to
show that by his position in the Swiss Department
he had access to it, and that at 11 o'clock, and be-
tween 11 and 12, and again at about 3 o'clock, he
was pawning the stolen property. Three of the
pawnbrokers only spoke to his identity to the best
of their belief, but two others swore positively that
he was the man, and yet it was obvious that they
were mistaken. So much doubt of the prisoner's
guilt had been raised in his (the magistrate's) mind
that he should have discharged the prisoner when
the case closed. for the prosecution, but he thought
it better for the interests of the prisoner and of
truth that the defence should be gone into, and that
had fully established in his mind the conviction
that the prisoner was innocent. He (Mr. Arnold)
did not consider that any witness called could prove
with extreme accuracy what occurred during the
different hours of the day on which the watches
were missed. There were contradictions, and one
witness for the defence neutralised another,although
he felt that both were honestly speaking to the best
of their belief, and it was preposterous to believe
that, after the accused had been made acquainted
with the robbery, had assisted in searching for the
things, and had gone to the police, that he should,
at a time when the vigilance of the police had just
been aroused, and where suspicion would attach
itself to anybody upon the slightest circumstance,
have gone in and out of the building to the Strand
and to Oxford•street at the time stated to dispose of
the property. If the accused were the thief—and
he was a foreigner, unacquainted with the metro-
polis—he must naturally have felt that such ab-
sences would have rendered him an object of sus-
picion ; but the evidence went to show that he was
seen in the building at all hours of the day, en-
gaged in his ordinary pursuits. The pawnbrokers
had spoken positively to him as pa wning the watches,
but it was clear that they were either mistaken
in his identity or in the hour. The evidence
for the defence enabled him (Mr. Arnold) to say
conscientiously that he believed the prisoner to be
innocent. The whole affair was very much to be re-
gretted, for two reasons, First, it had thrown undo-
served suspicion upon the accused, had deprived him
of his liberty, and had doubtless caused him much
pain and anxiety; while, on the ether hand, it
had had the tendency of directing the evidence into
the wrong channel, and had given the real offen-
der the opportunity of escaping the punishment of
his guilt. He (Mr. Arnold) had only now to say that
he felt much pleasure in discharging the accused,
and that he left that court free from the slightest
imputation upon his character.
A burst of applause from the auditory followed the
decision,
