BURGLARY AT A TAVERN.—CAITTIODZ TO LICENSED
VICTUALLERS.—Two men, who refused their names and
addresses at the station,were charged before Mr. Knox with
burglariously breaking and enterir.g the White Hart

Mr. Henry Martin, eatinghouse-keeper, of 6, Market-
street, said about one that (Tuesday) morning he was pass-
ing to his house when he saw the cellar flap of No. 8,
Market-street, on opposite side of the way, open, and saw a
man descend the cellar and close the flap after him. He
(witness) then went ovrJr and knocked at the door, and had
some convervation with Mrs. Testar, the landlady, and to
convince her of what he had seen, tried the flap and lifted
it up, and then sent for the police and stopped at the flap
and saw the constable bring one of the prisoners up, and
afterwards, on the sergeant artiving, saw him also bring
the other up.

Mrs. Susannah Charlotte Testar, landlady of the White
Hart, 8 A, Market-street, said in consequence of informa—
tion given to her by the last witness, she stood by and sair
the first man brought up, went to the station and charged
him, and on her return saw the other man in custody of the
sergeant (Edmonds) at front of the bar and went to the',
station again and charged him.
Mr. Knox—ls the collar flap fastened with bolts or a
chain ?

Mrs. Tester —With four bolts. I was in the cellar yester-
day morning, and it was then bolted as usual. One bolt
this morning was found broken away.
One of the prisoners—Not by me.
John Fendick, 194 C, said he was called to the White
Hart this morning, and found one of the prisoners concealed
in the cellar, and he took him to the station.
Sergeant Richard Edwards, 2C, said about half-past two
this morning he went to the White Hart, and in the cellar
found one of the prisoners lying flat on his face, covered with
rubbish. He called several times, but receiving no answer,
and feeling satisfied that some one wfss concealed there, he
jumped on the rubbish, and, the prisoner not liking it, at;
last called out, and he (Sergeant :Edwards) then took him
into custody. On searching the prisoners he found a knife
and some lucifer matches on them. In the cellar where
the man had been lying he found the part of a crowbar or
" jemmy," and on the cellar flap there were four or five
marks corresponding with it, and one bolt had been forced
off by means of it, and a second partly, so sufficient to enable
any one to effect an entrance.

Mr. Knox—Mrs. Tester, does the cellar lead to others or
direct to the house ?

Mrs. Testar—Direct to the house.
Sergeant Edwards asked for a remand, which was granted.

WESTMINSTER.
A VERY EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR.-William Bu-
chanan, of 13, Ebury-square, Pimlico, was charged with.
stealing a pail, value a shilling.
L. Lingwood, the prosecutor, said this man comes to the
house this morning, takes the pail, says it was his, and he
means to keep it, and I bought it and paid for it, and I can
prove it.

Prisoner—The fact is, your worship, we are both living
with one female.

Mr. Arnold—An unfortunate woman, I should think.
Prisoner—Yes, your worship.
Prosecutor—What has that got to do with my pail?
Prisoner—Why, the pail belongs to us both. This man
has been living with the woman six months, and I have
been living k ith her six years. I have put bread in his
mouth. My money and his money both goes to the
female ; it's all as one. I superintends the cabs at the
Man in the Moon fields, which is near Cremorne, and
which I does my duty in, and prosecutor helps me
there, which he is justly bound to do, and we use
the pail to water the horses, which is what we aro
there for. We goes home together this morning.
He is not married to the female, which I consider is more
my property than his. It is her pail, and if she says any-
thing about my stealing it I'll submit to it.
Mr. Arnold—Prosecutor, is there any truth in this state-
ment about the female ?

Prosecutor—That's right; but the pail belongs to me.
Policeman—There is but one bed, and they both live and
sleep In the same room with the female.

The prosecutor and prisoner, both very rough-looking
men, stood amazed at this revelation.

Mr. Arnold—lt is said there is no accounting for taste.
You seem to be partners in the pail as well as in the female.
There is at any rate no pretence for calling this a felony,
and the prisoner is discharged.
