SECOND COURT. 1
(Before Mr. Payne.)
ROBBERY Or WATCHES.
William Harris and William Winchester were indicted
for stealing a case of six watches and a locket, the property
of John Troup, of Hatton-garden. Harris pleaded guilty.
Charles Campbell said he was a clerk to the prosecutor.
On Friday last the prisoners came to his employer's house,
and presenting a card, ,‘ Webster's," of Cornhill, asked
to look at some gold alberts. The chains were shown them,
and no particular notice was taken about the matter until
a Mrs. Keats said something that led him to follow the
prisoner Harris, who had left the warehouse, and coming
up to him in Cross-street, Hatton-garden, he (witness)
told him he had broken a case containing some watches,
and th'st six had been stolen. He took the watches from
his pocket, saying he was guilty. As he was being taken
back to NI r. Troup's he threw something away which he
said was a locket belonging to Mr. Troup. The value of
the property stolen amounted to £lO.
The witness Keats said she saw the prisoner Winchester
take the watches from the case and put them into Harris's
pocket previous to his leaving the warehouse.
The jury found Winchester guilty.
Mr. Payne sentenced both prisoners to three years' penal
servitude.

ROBEING A FRENCHMAN.
Mary Ann Davis was indicted for stealing a coat, the
property of M. Segisburg.
The prosecutor said he had been to the theatre with his
friend, and before they went home they went into a public-
house at the corner of Wych-street, and there met the pri-
soner and some other girls. They entered into conversa-
tien with them, and finally they treated them with some
beer. The prosecutor, as he was leaving the house,
missed his coat, and the prisoner, who had gone away, was
suspected of stealing it.
After the evidence for the prosecution had been given,
Mr. Ribton created some amusement by the manner in
which he cross-examined him.

Mr. Ribton—Now, Mr. Segisburg, what were you
doing with the prisoner when, as you say, she took your
coat?

Prosecutor—Nothing, sir.
What I nothing.—No, dat is de case; nothing.
You gave her something to drink ?—Yes, sir ; some
bread and cheese.
Do you call that drink ?—Oh no ; she had with it some
beer.
I suppose you had taken a fancy to her, and had kissed
her ?—No, I think not.
But you tried. (Laughter.)-oh, how do you know
that ? (Laughter.) I say I did not.
But she is rather good-looking, ain't she'?--Well, yes,
but I don't think I kissed her. (Laughter.).

And you were both very comfortable.—Oh; no, we were
not ; the bench we were sitting on was so narrow.
But that you know brought you closer together; what
did you drink P—Nothing.
What. in a public-house, at one o'clock in the mornings
not drinkingt—l was smoking a cigar.
Some other witnesses were examined, but the jury
stopped the case and acquitted the prisoner.

In the case Stephen Meeney, the psuedo journalist, who
was yesterday found guilty of obtaining goods under false
pretences, a point o f law was raised as to the validity of
jury.

In answer to a question from Mr. Stockley Wood, the
learned judge said he had not had time to consider the
case ; he was desirous of consulting Mr. Bodkin before
giving judgment, and would, therefore, postpone doing so
until Wednesday neat.
