A steady, but by no means active, business in most kinds

CRIMINAL COURT--THIS DAY.

This morning the August Sessions of the Central Cri-
minal Court commenced at the Sessions House, Old Bailey.
The calendar contains a list of no fewer than 151 prisoners
for trial.

The Grand Jury having been sworn,
The Common Sergeant (T. Chambers, Esq., Q.C.), in
the absence of the Recorder, delivered the charge, and said
that although the calender was heavier than usual,
owing to the lapse of time since last session, the cases for
the most part were not of a very serious character. He
was, however, sorry to say that, among them there
were three cases involving loss of life. The first
charge was against a sailor for stabbing another seaman.
The other case was that in which a woman was charged
with stabbing a man. The next case was that in which a
woman, named Mary Ann Harris, was charged with the
murder of her child, and who attempted to destroy herself.
In the case of James Macroft Osbourne, who was charged
under the Fraudulent Trustees Act of misappropriating
funds to the extent of upwards of £3,000, as trustee
under the will of William Macroft, deceased, the
jury would have no difficulty in returning a true
bill. There was another charge of a most remarkable and
serious character against a person named Charles Rey-
nolds, alias Davies, for sending threatening letters to Sir
Anthony and the Baron Rothschild with the intention to
extort money. The Grand Jury would have no difficulty
in sending the case for trial before the petty jury, as the
prisoner hal admitted he wrote the letters. The learned
Judge saidin the other cases there was nothing to call for
any remarks from him, except that he regretted to say that
there were seven or eight cases in which men of different
ages were charged with felonious assaults upon girls of

The Jury then withdrew, and during the morning re-

POLICE-THIS DAY.

WESTMINSTER.

SERIOUS DEPREDATIONS IN ♦N ORCHARD,—Henry
Runge and Thomas Dagerley, two little boys described as
only nine years of age, but who looked much older, were
charged with the following robbery :

William Watts, 253 B, said—On Saturday evening, at
half-past seven, he was on duty at Walton. street station,
when two gentlemen came there and said that there
were a number of boys in Mrs. Catleigh's garden, close by,
stealing some apples. Witness was directed by his in-
spector to go and endeavour to apprehend them. On
proceeding to the spot he saw the prisoners and another
boy running across the garden in the direction of Walton-
street. He gave chase and caught Dagerley, upon whom
he found a large quantity of fine large apples tied up in his
jacket. The other boys escaped, but one of them was after-
wards caught.

Henry Rayner,hackney carriago attendant, proved appre-
hending Lunge, upon whom he found the apples.
Mr. Dayman inquired whether there was any fence to
the garden?

Inspector Butler replier] in the affirmative. It was no
less than between 7 and 8 feet high, and Mrs. Catleigh had
lately been at considerable expense in having it thrown up,
in consequence of the alarming depredations by the boys in
the neighbourhood. She had been plundered to a great
extent lately.

James Smith, foreman to Mrs. Catleigh, fruiterer, Ann-
street, Chelsea, identified the apples as his mistress's pro-
perty. There were besides these between 20 and 30 apples
lying loose in the garden, which he had no doubt would
have been taken had the boys not been disturbed.

Mr. Dayman asked the boy-e whether they had anything
to say 7

Defendants, as usual, said some bigger boys had sent
them into the garden.

They were locked up for 14 days, in default of paying
10s. 6d. each.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

STEALING A DIAMOND RlNG.—Mary Ann Mills, who
said she was 17, but really looked no more than 14, was
charged with stealing a diamond ring of the value of £l5,
the property of Mr. George Lewes, jeweller, of 12, Port-
man-street, Bryanstone-square. .

Prosecutor said he met the girl and went with her to a
house in Arundel-court, and while there the prisoner took
off his diamond ring and pretended she had dropped it. He
observed her place her hands behind her, and told her that
if she did not return it he would give her in charge, and
then sent for a constable.

Billett, a constable, said he was called to Arundel-court.
Mr. Tyrwhitt observed that he believed it was a most
notorious place.

Billett said it was, He searched the place, but could not
find the ring.

Sergeant Stephens, 11 C, said the prisoner was brought
to the station on Saturday night and searched by the female
searcher, who found nothing ; from what he observed when
he went in the cell subsequently, the prisoner hating her
gown off, he felt in the pocket of it, and there found the
ring, which the prosecutor identified.
Prisoner, whose voice was that of a child, asked to be for-
given.

_
Mr. Tyrwhitt asked her whether she was really 17 years
of age.

The girl said she was, and was remanded for a week,
having given a false address.

A FOREMAN CHARGED WITH ROBBING HIS MASTER.
—Stephen Cann, foreman to Mr. Alfred Gorton, butcher, of
Great Windmill-street,
,was charged with robbing his
employer.
Mr. Gorton said he was induced to watch the prisoner,
who came down before the usual time, and he observed
him open the door and let in a man, who laid down a cloth.
The prisoner then selected a leg of mutton, a large piece of
beef, &c. The man then left with it, and he pursued him
and gave him over to another person, and on returning to
the house the door was shut against him, and the prisoner
made his escape over the roofs of several houses. The
other man managed to escape from the person he had left
him in charge of. It was the fourth foreman who had
served him the same way, although he paid them what-
ever wages they asked.

Sergeant Curm, C division, said he found the prisoner
had escaped over the roof of some houses, and took him
into custody while he was secreted in a cellar.
Mr Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, said it
would be idle for him to address anything on the prisoner's
behalf more than to say, that before quitting Mr. Gorton's
service he had been suffering for a long time from illness.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for a week.
