POLICE-THIS DAY.

BOW-STREET.

ROBBERY BY A COMPOSITOR.—An elderly man, named
Handley, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a
quantity of type, the property of Mr, Wilkins, printer, of
Tookes-court.
John Charles Wilkins said—The prisoner was in my
father's employ. As he was leaving our premises on
Thursday evening I accused him of having a quantity of
type on his person. He denied it, but on a policeman being
sent for, the metal and type produced was taken from his
person. It consists of brass rules and other articles used in
a printing office.

1021
1041

Mr. Corrie asked how it was that the prosecutor could
identify the type P

The prosecutor said he was positive the type was his
property, and was worth about 2e. a pound, and to get rid
of it the prisoner could only get about 2d. or 3d. per pound
for it.

1011 2

Mr. Corrie—Then the loss to you is very great, and the
gain to him was very little.

Prosecutor—That is so, your Worship. His average
wages were about 275, per week.

Mr. Corrie—Do you wish for a remand, or shall I deal
with the case as it at present stands ?

Prosecutor—l would rather you would deal with the case
now, sir. If the man has taken any property away before
he no doubt has disposed of it. He has been in my employ
about 7 weeks, and I very much regret to see a member of
our profession in such a degrading position. I, however,
feel it to be my duty to master printers, as they are so open
to robberies of this nature, to prosecute the man. I hope,
however, your worship will deal with the prisoner leniently.
Mr. Corrie—Your recommendation very much alters my
determination. The offence is very clearly made out, and
I shall, therefore, send the man to prison for three months.
CHARGE OF ATTEMPTING TO PICK POCKETS.--A re-
spectably-dressed young man named Everrett, was charged
by the police with attempting to pick pockets at the Italian
Opera, on Thursday nignt.

Inspector Eccles said—l had been informed that a person
of prisoner's appearance had been bustling about the opera
lobbies, and in a very short time after I heard the cry of
police, and went towards the grand entrance, and there I
saw the prisoner, a hom a lady said had attempted to pick
her pocket. As she had lost nothing she declined to give
her name, and drove off in her carriage. On being ques-
tioned the prisoner said he had been present during the
opera, and had occupied a seat in No. 31 boa, for which he
had paid 10s. lam not prepared to swear that the prisoner
was not present during the performance, but he would not
be admitted in his present costume to the box he had men-
tioned.

Police-constable 511 A said I was on duty outside the
opera on Thursday night when a lady called out police. I
was within two yards of the prisoner. The lady said,
"This man got his hand in my pocket. I asked her if she
would charge the prisoner, and she replied that as she had
lost nothing she would not give the prisoner into custody.
When I detained the prisoner he denied the charge in very
positive terms. He said, "If you doubt my veracity take
my card." No card-case was found on him when he was
searched at the station.

Police-constable 17 A said I was informed shortly before
the opera terminated that two suspicious persons were
bustling about in the crush-room.

Mr. Corrie—Was the prisoner one of them.

Policeman—l can't say, your worship, 1 was not there.
I was on duty outside the theatre, and saw the prisoner in
the front entrance, and then I heard the cry of " Police 1"
A lady said the prisoner had attempted to piek her pocket.
He denied it most positively. The lady would not give
the prisoner into custody. I, however, took him to the
station-house. On searching him I found a pocket book,
6d., 2d. in copper, and a comb.

A gentleman from the theatre said the box No. 31 was
an omnibus box—Lord Aylesbury's. Only members were
admitted, the admissions not being transferable.

Mr. Corrie—ls the prisoner one o, the subscribers to the
box ?

Witness—Certainly not. If he had been, he would not
have been admissible in his present costume.

Mr. Abrams (who appeared for the prisoner)—Will you
swear the prisoner was not in the theatre on Thursday
evening.

Witness—l can't do that, as lam not in a position to
know.

Mr. Corrie remanded the prisoner for a week in order to
afford the police time to make inquiries about kim.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
UTTERING COUNTERFEIT COIN.—A respectable looking
female named Ellen Howard, residing at 15, York-street,
Covent-garden, was charged with uttering a counterfeit
florin at the shop of Mr. George Green, baker, 36, Great

before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a coat from the shop
of Mr. Alfred Alexander, a jew outfitter, of No. 93 St.
George-street, alias Rateliff-highway.
A lad named Haman Alexander, the prosecutor's brother,
stated that on Sunday night lasi, the prisoner came to the
shop-door and took a coat away. The prisoner ran away
with it, and went into Palmer's Folly, where he turned
round, and that made him see his face very plainly. He
continued running after the prisoner until he lost sight of
him.

Mr. Selfe—And you ought not to have your shop open

Procter, a police constable, said he had been in search of
the prisoner until yesterday (Good Friday) morning, when
he took him into custody and told him the charge. The
prisoner said he wishes} to see the man who was the owner
of the coat, but he would not allow him to do that, and
locked him up. He knew the prisoner to be a thief, who
had been twice in custody.
The Prisoner, in reply—Once before.
Mr. Selfe—That is once too often,
The Prosecutor—We lost two coats before on Sunday.
Mr. Selfe—Then you should not open on the Christian
Sabbath, and hang your coats outside the shop.
The Prosecutor—They take their chance on Sundays
when the coats are hanging out.

Mr. Selfe remanded the prisoner until next Friday.

Marshal Pelissier, advices from Algiers state, is

and in concert with the Governor-General of Senegal, a
military expedition for the purpose of uniting the two
French African colonies. The expedition is to proceed from
the confines of the Sahara, will follow the route of the
caravans to Timbuctou, and cross the negro kingdom of the
Tonareqes, where it will meet that from Senegal. The
route of the caravans is provided with oases, situated at
about 10 leagues (25 miles) from each other. These places
of repose will be increased in number by the formation of
artesian wells, which can be bored with great facility in
that country, and round which the natives always collect.
The expedition will in two months go from Biskarr to Tim-
buctou. Military posts will afterwards be established at
different stations, and troops may then be sent to Senegal
by land.

EMIGRANTS FOR CoLUNSTA.--The example set by
Chesterfield in setting up a party for the diggings has caused
our Clay-cross friends to turn their attention to the subject.
On Monday last nine or ten strong young fellows left that
village for Liverpool en route to Cariboo, the new land of
promise. The Chesterfield party have ere this left by
steamer from New York for San Francisco, via Panama,
and the general tone of the letters shows that with one ex-
ception they have not suffered either in health or spirits so
far,—Derbyshire Courier,

CITY BETTING.—THIS DAY.
There is very little doing in the City to-day. For the
Newmarket Handicap Gabriel d'Estrees is decidedly first
favourite for money—anything over 4 to 1 being eagerly
taken, while Finlande seems to be going back.—For
the Derby Trial Stakes the only two horses backed were
Asteroid and Wingrave, at 6 to 4 and 2 to 1 respectively,—
The only feature connected with the Two Thousand was
the advance of The Marquis to 8 to 1, at which price he met
with some support.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER—FRIDAY.
There was only a very limited attendance at the Sub-
scription-rooms this day, and the betting was of such a
nature that comment on the proceedings is unnecessary.

MR. MAGUIRE, M.P., AND THE DIS-

The hon. member for Dungarvon has addressed a
letter to a Dublin journal on the alleged distress in
Ireland. After stating that the debate on Sir
George Bowyer's motion respecting Italy had
necessitated the postponement of the question of
Irish distress till the 2d of May, Mr. Maguire con-
tinues :

"My object in now writing to you is to impress
upon the friends of the afflicted the necessity of
communicating to me such well authenticated facts
as would truly represent the condition of their
several districts, and, above all things, of not lead-
ing me astray by exaggeration or overstatement,
From my own knowledge of the state of the South
I can easily understand the sufferings of the people
in other parts of Irelaud, especially the West ; but
I have to convince others that the condition of large
masses of the people of our country is so deplorable
and so urgent as to demand the serious attention of
the Government. From the first, the Government
have denied the existence of more than ordinary
I distress. Indeed, I must admit, the Government
—I speak of the Irish Executive—find themselves
placed in a false position, in consequence of their
repeated and ostentatious laudation of Irish pros-
perity, and their congratulations upon the wonder-
ful progress which we have been making—making
in imagination, I am sorry to say, and not in reality.
They are now only consistent in denying the
misery and wretchedness which prevail in many
many districts of this country, and that there is
any reason for apprehension in the months which
usually precede the getting in of the harvest. To
meet this systematic denial, this official incredulity,'.
we, who are compelled by the presence and pres-
sure
of the evil to hold a different opinion, must
have facts—if possible, facts demonstrated by sworn
evidence. Deaths have been traced to want of food;
but the Government are prepared to assert—indeed
have asserted—that these deaths were not attri-
butable in any degree to starvation. We believe
that death has, in several instances, been either
caused by actual want of food, or accelerated
thereby; and this is just what the friends of the
poor must assist me in proving. I would, therefore,
earnestly request that those to whom cases of death
from want of food are known, or may be known
between this and the end of this month, will kindly
communicate with me—addressing their letters to
the House of Commons—and will state such case
as simply and as circumstantially as possible. I
shall only add my respectful advice that inquests
should be held in every case that nnfortunately may
occur ; for, as we are met by reiterated denials—
denials which, coming from the source they do,
blunt the edge of sympathy, and close the halt-
opened hand of charity—we must avail ourselves
of every just and lawful means of driving convic-
tion home to the minds of men. We must satisfy
those, at least, who are not officials of the Irish Go-
vernment, and who have not committed themselves
by triumphant proclamations of prosperity and
persistent denials of the existence of distress, that
the appeals which have been made on behalf an
afflicted people were but too well jnstified by the
real state of the case."

THE BILST ON EXPLOSION.—The total number
of deaths up to yesterday morning was 26, and several of
the survivors are in a very precarious state. It has been
ascertained that the diameter of the boiler was 10ft. bin.
Its construction and adaptibility for a high-pressure engine
wili be an important matter for inquiry before the inquest
closes.

THAMES EMBANKMENT.—TheDuke of Northum-
berland, who holds property along the river side, has peti-
tioned the house against the bill for the Thames Embank-
ment, and prays that he may be heard, by himself, counsel,
agents, and witnesses, before the committee appointed to
consider the subject, in respect of any provisions contained
in it prejudicial to his rights and interests. The Metropoli-
tan Board of Works and other bodies have also petitioned
to be hoard against the bill.
