and from that circumstance suspicion was attached to
him, and he was taken into custody.
Miss Elizabeth Winkwortb, Mr. Thomas Greville,
Mr. J. L. Millions, and Mr. Edward Martin, were ex-
amined, after which
Alderman Challis said he was perfectly convinced of
the defendant's complete innocence, and dismissed the
case.

SOUTHWAP°H•—One of the relieving officers of St.
Olave's, Southwark, attended before Mr. Combo, with
a young Irishwoman, with an infant in her arms, for
his advice. -
lie said that the woman became chargeable to their
parish, and after being examined as to her place of
settlement; she was sent to Ireland. She, however, re-
turned with her infant to Saint Olave's Workhouse a
few days ago, when she was taken before the guardians,
who now wished for his worship's advice. She was
liable to be punished for returning, but the guardians
did not wish her to be, if her statement was true. She
stated that when she arrived at Cork she was admittpd
in the Cork Union, and one of the relieving officers came
out of the room where the guardians were sitting, and
told her they would keep her but not her English
bastard. She remained in the workhouse nearly a fort-
night, when she was put on board a vessel, and her
passage paid back to England. A gentleman who cause
out of the board room did that, but she did not know
who he was. Ho gave her no money. She believed she
was born in Cork, but she had been in England since
three years old, and knew nothing of Ireland.
Mr. Comber told the relieving officer that he had
better take her before the guardians again, and investi-
gate the statements closely. If what she said was true
she and her infant had been treated shamefully, and
the Poor Law authorities ought to ,be acquainted with
the facts.
LAMBETH.—Mr. Dockree, the proprietor of the Bee-
' hive Tavern, Carter-street, Walworth, was charged with
keeping his house open on the night of Sunday, the 19th

ult.
It appearod that about half-past ten p.m. on Sunday,
Sergeant Coppey entered Mr. D ockree's house, having pre-
viously heard the jinking of money, and found a young
man and woman at the front of the bar, with a glass of
gin and water before them. In the parlour he found
Mr. Dockree and four gentlemen, one of whom defendant
said was his brother, the second his nephew, and the
other twe his friends.
Mr. Dockree did not deny any part of the evidence
except the jinking of money, and that he believed to be
untrue, as there was no person in the house at the time
from whom money would have been taken. The per-
sons mentioned by the officer as being in front of the
bar when he entered, were a young woman, a friend and
acquaintance of his daughter, and her sweetheart, and
they were at the time in the act of bidding her good
night, when Coppey entered. Those in the parlours
were his brother, his nephew, and two friends, and he
(Mr. Dockree) should be glad to know from his worship
whether ho was precluded from entertaining his friends
and relations in his parlour after his door was closed
and customers cleared away.
Mr. Norton—Certainly not ; but you have not proved
that they were all friends, and as a matter of caution, I
should not recommend you to entertain your friends in
a public room, as it will place you under the onus of
showing that they are your friends and relations, and
not customers.
Mr. Dockree—l am under a strong impression that
the hour was not so late as that sworn to by the ser-
geant.
Coppey—l did not leave the station house until ten
o'clock, and I had to walk nearly a mile to your house.
The sergeant informed the magistrate that the defend-
ant had been previously summoned.
Mr. Dockree (who exhibited some warmth at the ser-
geant's remark) admitted that he had been summoned,
through the carlessness of a servant, and his worship
on that occasion allowed him to put half a sovereign in
he poor-box, and he had no objection to do so again.
Mr. Norton remarked that it must be 11. now, and
;he money being paid, the case was dismissed.

THAMES.—Augustus Tilby was charged with em-
bezzling the sum of 821. which he had received on ac-
count of the United Steam Towing Company.
Mr. Thomas Petley, the manager of the company,
said that the prisoner had been in their service as col-
lecting clerk at a salary of 255. per week. His duty
was to collect money and pay it over to the manager
every evening. On Wednesday evening he questioned
the prisoner about a debt of 101. ls. owing by the firm
Windle and Co., and asked if there were any other sums
not collected, and the prisoner made some excuses. He
said he would accompany the prisoner to Windle's house
on Thursday morning, and on that day they proceeded
towards the offices of the firm. On reaching the door
the prisoner said, " Shall you or I go in ?" Witness
said, "We will both go in." The prisoner then said,
" It's no use, I have received the money." Witness ex-
pressed great surprise at this, and said, " Let's go to
Partridge's and collect that debt." The prisoner said,
" I have received that too." Witness on hearing this
compelled the prisoner to return with him to the com-
pany's office, and he there admitted defalcations to the
amount of 821.

Mr. F. Pelham, for {the prisoner, felt that he could
not resist a remand, and tendered bail.
Mr. Ingham said he could not accept of bail, and re.
manded the prisoner for a week.
