EXTENSIVE BURGLARIES.—IMPORTANT CASE.—Frede-
rick Wells White, late a labourer in the employ of the
North London Railway Company, at their factory, in Bow,
aged 40, and dwelling at the time of his apprehension at
4. 12, Violet-street, Bow-common, who has been in cus-
tody since the 4th instant, was brought up on remand and
for final examination and committal, charged with the
commission of several burglaries and robberies in Bow and
Bromley, and with attempting to enter the premises of
Mr. Sundley, a merchant, in the New-grove, Bow-road.
Mrs. Abrahams, an elderly woman, and Charles Ben.
jamin Abrahams, her son, late steward of the Earl of
Auckland steamer, trading between Rotterdam and
London, were charged with feloniously receiving a
portion of the stolen property, they well knowing it to
be stolen.

Mr. Win. Taylor, aged 60, a table cloth manufacturer
of Croydon, was charged at this court, on the 10th inst.:
with receiving four pieces of cloth which his wife had
bought of her sister, Mrs. Abrahams, and three of which
Mr. Taylor ordered to be burnt in his furnace on hearing
that Mrs. Abrahams and her son were in custody.
Mr. Taylor, who is a very respectable and wealthy manu-
facturer, was alarmed for the consequences of his wife's
indiscretion when he heard his sister-in-law was in custody,
was discharged, the magistrate remarking that he had acted
very foolishly.

John William Redway, a watch jeweller, of Rose-court,
Tower-street, City, and formerly a police-constable, was
arraigned with _Taylor on a charge of receiving some of
the stolen property and remanded until Friday last. He
was then admitted as a witness for the Crown, and gave
evidence to-day implicating Mrs. Abrahams, to whose
daughter he is married, and her son. White is also mar-
ried to another daughter of the woman Abrahams.

Inspector Kerressey, of the K division, whose exertions
in recovering the stolen property and establishing the case
against the prisoners is deserving of great praise, said he
had now 12 cases of burglary to prefer against White.
They were all committed in Bow and Bromley, near the
North London Railway line, which he often crossed and
re-crossed in the night-time to effect his plans. Mr.
Kerressey then produced a large quantity of valuable pro-
perty found at the lodgings of the prisoner White, in
Violet-street, or traced to Mrs. Abrahams and her son .
The Inspector also found 11 pawnbrokers' duplicates in
the dwelling of White. They related to stolen property.

Mr. Selfe decided on committing the prisoner White for
trial, on the following four charges of burglary. The house
of Mr. John Timberlake, of No. 3, Archibald-street,
Bromley, was burglariously entered on the night of the
10th May last, and 10 pieces of cloth for table covers, value
52e. each, three coats, and three pairs of gloves, were stolen.
'The cloth was traced to Mrs. Abrahams and her sister,
Mrs. Taylor, and Ridway, and ono piece, which had been
dyed and converted into a cloak, was produced by
