He had given all the assistance in his p osv.er,he had
convicted in two selected instances, and his con-

judges. He was quite disposed to put the law in
force whenever a case was made out. In the present
instance he must in fairness say that the evidence
against the defendant did not go so far as in the
cases against Belasco, or the other case which wee,
appealed against. While be was ready to a a

and Mary Brown, young womet kof very respect-
able exterior, both ,'f whom hat I refused to state

White, 16 D, charged wjth having stolen 281, zard6
of silk, the property of Messrs. Ma rshall and Niel"
grove, drapers, &c., Vine-street, Ca vendish-square.
George Fenwick, assistant to prosecutors, deposed
that on the previous evening? about' six o'clock, the
prisoners came to the end of the silk counter, when
Dunn asked to look at some Magenta and black
silk. Several pieces were placed b efore them for
inspection ; and after they were' emu inspection by both
the prisoners, who requested th.lt tis,oy might b!,
shown some of a smaller pattern, the;v were told
what they wished for was not in stock. After th.s!
they said they should like to look a,t some kg'
gloves, and an officer who speedily entere, d the shep
took the prisoners into custody.
Boyce Grant, another assistant of pre `seeuterB'
stoted that, being somewhat suspicious of the pri
sone?s, he watched their movements, and sass' Dunk°.
remove from the counter a piece of silk, which she
slipped tinder her cloak. He then caused info:rel.
tion of the robbery to be given to the police.
Sergeant White said he kept an eye upon theprl"
Boners for abom, ten minutes, and was satisfied, freol
the manner of Dunn, that she had something COn"
cealed under the Left side of the upper part of her,
dress. He laid hod of her, saying, " Halo, Sal'
what is it you've got under your cloak ?" to which
she replied, " What do you mean, sir, by insulting
me in this way ? lam a respectade woman." itt
this time she raised her left arm, and he (witness)
saw the piece of silk slide gently down from NI
person on to the floor. He sent for a constable, al3°
the prisoners were conveyed to the station-house;
When there, Dunn said to witness, in presence 0'
the inspector, "If I'd given you £1 it would have
squared it, but you've done the job too quick, er
you might have had somebody else, and I only wish
we had pulled it off to rights.
The stolen silk was produced and identified. The
value of it was £2O.
White said that Dunn, who was gem 'rally knoll
by the name of " Sal Clarke," had bean convicted
more than once for felony. He was nat prepared
with positive proof at present, but should. be able to
do so.
The prisoners stand committed for trial, but were,
ordered to be brought up again to-morrow pis day)
for White to Slow that Dunn was known the
House of Correction.

SOUTHWARK.—THE ALLEGED MURDER Pt
THE DOVER-ROAD.—Catharine Nolan, a yeung NO;
man 23 years of age, was placed at the bar for fist°,
examination, charged with causing the death 0'
James Munns, a young man with whom she co:
habited, by stabbing him with a knife. The pa"
sonar, when first brought before the magistrate 00
Thursday last, was gaily and fashionably attired--'
now she was dressed in deep mourning, and, when
taking her seat in the dock, seemed deeply affected.
Mr. Neale watched the case on behalf of the
friends of the deceased, and Mr. W. Edwin again
appeared for the prisoner. The court was densely
crowded.
The same witnesses were examined and the same
evidence given as that which was tendered before
the coroner, and which we reported a day Or two
ago, showing that a quarrel had taken place he,;
tween the prisoner and the deceased, e°'
that the former, under considerable provocatioup
had snatched up a knife and stabbed the deceased,
for which she immediately afterwards showed great
distress of mind.
Mr. Edwin said he should reserve the defence
until before another tribunal ; and
Mr. Combe committed her for trial.
