44W INTEL LIGENCE —This Day.
!.=; • COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

The proceedings in this court during the early part of
the day were of a rather unusual character, and caused a
great waste of time. In the first place there were three
cases set down for hearing before the Lord Chief Justice
and special juries, and his lordship took his seat on the
bench at 10 o'clock. However, only four jurors
were in attendance, and the cases were accordingly
struck out of the list. In the next case, which had reference
to a disputed bill of Exchequer for £1.50, which presented
no feature of general interest, the counsel for the plaintiff
was informed that there would be no defence, but, after he
had called his witnesses, it appeared that a learned gentle-
man had been instructed to defend the action, and the
hearing of the case was resumed. In two or three other
cases either the counsel, witnesses, or solicitors were absent,
and the Court came to a dead lock.

His Lordship, in regard to one of these cases, said that
there were two courts sitting at that moment, and thy
had not once case between them, notwithstanding that
there were several on the list, and it was disgraceful that
the time of the court should bo so wasted. It was desirable
that parties should clearly understand that when their
cases were on the list for the day they were liable to be
called, no matter the order in which they stood. He would
set the example of allowing cases to become remanets
without necessity, or of the Court rising at half-past 11
o'clock through neglect on the part of persons interested.
A case was then proceeded with, and at its conclusion
the Court rose.

sition the order was granted.

IN RE SHAKELTON - ANOTHER DIRECTOR OP TILE STRAND

MUSIC HALL COMDANY.

lease from custody, he being a prisoner for debt upon lia-
bilities incurred for the company.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A BATCH OF JUVENILE PILFERERS.—John Prendergast,
14, Samuel Clark, 14, Thomas Warren, 12, and Charles
Pentney, 11, were cjiarged before Mr. Knox with stealing
a quantity of tarts, buns, and cakes from the shop of Mr.
George J. Fidler, confectioner, 315, Oxford-street.
Biustead Webb, 112 C, said that last night he was in
Oxford-street in company of Moss, 63 C, when he saw all
prisoners, with the exception of Warren, go into the shop
of Mr. Fidler. The prisoner Clark then pulled over a case
and took out some cakes, and then they all rushed out of
the shop and made off. lie succeeded in catching Pentney
and Warren, and 63 C took the others. On searching Clark
at the station he found upon him a tin shop ticket, with
the words " A Penny a Slice " on it, which no doubt had
been taken from some other shop, as it did not belong to
Mr. Fidler.

Miss Fidler, daughter of the prosecutor, said that on the
boys seeing her approaching they dropped some of the ar-
ticles (cakes and buns) and ran out of the shop.
Mr. Knox asked whether the parents of the boys were
present ? _ _ _

Prendergast's mother said hor boy was an apprentice to
a brassfounder and a good boy, and had nevor offended
before.

The mother of Clark said her boy had a situation.
Mr. Knox said he was the worst of the lot, and the
ticket from some other shop was found upon him.
Pentney's father said his boy was at work ; and Warren' s
mother said her boy worked at a saddle-tree maker's, who
would speak to his character.
_ _

The boys here set upa blubbering, as did also the mother
of Warren, and Mr. Knox having ordered them to be taken
out of court, said he should like to nee the boys' employers,
and if it turned out that the boys' parents had spoken the
truth, he might at the end of a week remit them to their
parents. He did not wish to do anything harsh towards
the boys, but he wanted to know that they were not young
thieves about the district, and he should therefcre remand
them for a week, but the police might. make inquiries, and
the boys' masters might attend.
