NOMINATION OF SHERIFFS

the complaints.
The Secretary of the society being in attendance,
ikdr. Bingham stated the substance of the complaint,
and asked him for an explanation.
The Secretarysaid that a former agent of the company
had absconded with money he had collected, and the so-
ciety, after supplying his place, had determined upon re-
quiring all parties who had opened policies through that
agent to attend personally at the office, as it was strongly
suspected that numerous frauds had been committed on
the society by parties representing their ages to be
much younger than they ready were, by which means
their claims fill on the society so much sooner than
contracted for. Tile applicant's mother had been to
the office, and her appearance at once proved she
was at least 10 years older than ehe had represented
herself to be. She was required to produce the
certificate of her birth, but she refused to do so, and the
society had stopped the policy. The society, however,
were quite willing to reinstate the policy—even though
it had become void in consequence of non-payment of
the weekly money provided satisfactory proof were
afforded that the age of the woman was as she repre-
sented it to be.
Mr. Bingham thought this was but fair and reasonable
on the part of the society.
The applicant said her mother could not bring any
proof of her age. How could she do so, being a Roman
Catholic, and a native of Ireland ?
Mr. Bingham had no doubt that the mother's exact
age could be furnished if parties were not interested in
keeping back the truth. He should not interfere further,
as he was of opinion the society were entitled to have
the information they required.
Another Irishwoman, whose case was similar, received
the same answer to her application.
Joh,n Redman was charged with the following daring
robbery.
Caroline Nicholl, wife of Mr. Nichol!, cloth-presser,
Marshall-street, said on Tuesday week a knock was
heard at the door which she answered. The prisoner
and another man were there, and they asked if Mrs.
Brown lived there. She said, no. The prisoner than
inquired the way to Pulteney-street, and while she was
directing him she felt her dress lifted up, and on placing
her hand in her pocket found her purse containing a
sovereign and some silver was gone. She immediately
ran after the prisoner and seized him by the tails of his
coat, but the prisoner managed to tear the tails away
from the coat and to make his escape.
Edward Hobson saw the prisoner and another man
commit the robbery. He tried to pursue the prisoner,
but lost sight of him in the pursuit. About a week
afterwards he saw the prisoner in the act of picking
pockets, and he gave such evidence to the police as led
to his capture.
Mrs. Nicholl was positive the prisoner was Cho pei.
son who leads the inquiry of her.
The prisoner denied his guilt, and was fully cora.
mitted.

LAMBETH. —Philip Al 'Donnell and Valentine
Fletcher, two ruffianly-looking fellows, were placed at
the bar before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of attempting
to break into the residence of the Rev. John Linghatn,
the Recory-house, Lambeth.
The prisoners were seen by Constable Cannon in a
balcony at the back of the Rectory-house, about half-
past twe o'clock on Sunday morning. When asked
what they did there they said they had gone there to
sleep, and had slept there before. They were then ar-
rested. Their shoes were subsequently found in an ad-
joining garden belonging to the Archbishop of Canter-
bury.
The prisoners were then remanded.
In a case before the magistrate, where a servant was
charged with robbing her mistress, the constable en-
gaged complained that he had been refused to see some
goods pawned by the accused at the shop of Mr. Haw-
good, a pawnbroker in the district, and at the same
place an old tablecloth bad been exhibited instead of a
valuable one pledged.
Mr. Elliott directed the officer te inform Mr. Haw-
good that in this and in all cases where pawnbrokers
refused te exhibit the goods improperly pawned with
them, on the proper application of a constable, he (Mr.
Elliott) should at once grant a search warrant.
