upon them ; and my belief is, that all the articles
found at Lee's, and represented to be ours, are ours.

Nu doubt they were taken from us from time to time.
Mr. Hobler requested that the magistrates would
tact bail for Lee, who bad never been suspected of
dealings of a sin Liter kind before, but,

The Loin MAYOR and Al lerman CAuDEN declined
in such a case to accept bail to any amount, and the

prisoners were rematried till "Thursday.
MARYLEBONE.
A young man named George Jackson, a French
polisher, living at 93, Harwood-street, Hampstead-
road, was charged on suspicion of having stolen a box
containing leases, &c., ani also with having carried
cff feloniously other property to a considerable amount
in jewellery, &c., belonging to Mr. Henry Grimsdell,
landlord of the Marquis Camden public-house, Cam-

den street, Camden•tOwn.
Mr. nobler. solicitor, attended for the Licensed
Victuallers' Protection Society, to conduct the prose-

cution.

The evidence of Mr. and Mrs. Grimsdell was to
the effect that they had recently left the Eagle Tavern,
and removed to their present residence about three
weeks ago. Numerous alterations and repairs being
required, a tradesman named Taunton was employed
to see to these being properly done, and on Saturday
morning last the prisoner, who came to the house as
French polisher, upon the introduction of Mr. Taun-
ton, took from a room in the upper part of the house
a chest of drawers in order to do the polishing busi.

ness in an apartment on the first floor. Prior-to the
said drawers being removed, Mrs. Grimsdell took
from the top of them a deed-box, which She placed
on the floor ; it hail in it the leases of three houses, a
gold brooch and chain, seven silver spoons, two gold
lockets, and sundry books and papers. The loss was
not discovered until a policeman called at the house
at a late hour on Saturday night, and gave them such
information as led to the prisoner being given into
custody.
Butt, 340 P, stated that on Saturday night, be-
tween eleven and twelve o'clock, as he was on his
beat by the side of the Surrey Canal, Camberwell,
he saw some papers floating on the water, and with

the assistance of another officer he drew them out.

The papers were here produced and identified by
the prosecutor ; they were the leases and memoranda
before referred to. _ _

Milligan, 202 S, deposed that on the following after-
noon (Sunday) he took the prisoner into custody at
his lodgings in Hirwood-street, and on telling him
what he was charged with, he denied all knowledge of
the robbery.
Mrs. Grimsdell, in addition to the evidence which
she had previously given, said that after what she had
heard from the police with regard to the finding of
the papers, ke., she examined her drawers, and ascer-
tained that from one of them a gold watch, chain, and
seal had been abstracted.
Other evidence was gone into, showing that the
prisoner was seen on the staircase above the room
where he had been doing the French polishing shortly
before he left, and that when he quitted a lighted
candle and his tools were found in the room in which
he had been working ; in further proof of the guilt
of the prisoner it was stated that he had a mother
who resided over the water, and not more than five
minutes' walk from the canal where the papers were
picked up.
Mr. HowLria asked if any more of the property
stolen had been met with, and an answer was given
in the negative.
The officer who took the prisoner in charge said
that his (prisoner's) mother had admitted to him that
her son was with her on Friday last, which was en-
tirely at variance with the statement of the prisoner
when captured, at which period he declared that he
had not been near his mother's hou,_e for more than
a week.
The prisoner, on being asked what he had to say,
asserted his entire innocence, and accounted for his
tools being left behind by asserting that he had other
jobs to do at the house on a future day.
In order to afford time for the police to trace the
gold watch and other missing property, the prisoner
was remanded till Saturday next.
CLERKEN WELL.

James Sturland was brought up on remand,
charged by Mr. Thomas Davie 3, chymist and drug-
gist, of No. 13, Ilereford street, Bayswater, with
having uttered a forged bill of exchange for 3601.
The particulars of this case have been detailed in
the newspapers.
Dir. Wakeling, the solicitor, attended for the prose-
cution, and, at his suggestion, the prisoner was again
remanded for the production of further evidence.
WORSHIP-STREET.

Three men, named Li?ly, Horner, and Sinfield,
were brought up charged with the following ferocious
attack upon the police.
Holds worth, a constable of the N division, was on
duty in the Kingsland road at a late hour on Saturday
night, when his interference was called for by the
outrageous conduct of the defendants, who were quar-
relling and disturbing the whole neighbourhood. He
requested them to go home, and Horner and Sinfield
went into a house adjoining, but Lilly refused to
leave, and threatened to kick his inside out if he at-
tempted to make him. He took Lilly by the arm to lead
him away, but he was immediately rescued from
him by the other defendants, who run out and at-
tacked him; and upon Williams, an officer of the H
division, corning up to his assistance, he was instantly
set upon by Horner, who kicked him violently and
repeatedly in the stomach, and then ran up stairs,
followed by the others. Caffrey, 153 N, then came
to the aid of his fellow-constables, and they pur-
sued the defendants up stairs, Caffrey first; but upon
reaching the landing they found all the defendants
armed with pokers, tongs, and other weapons, with
which they threatened to dash out the brains of the
first officer who attempted to capture them. Caffrey,
however, still went up, but was instantly sent stag-
gering down stairs upon the other constables from a
violent blow on the head with a pair of tongs, and it
was only after a desperate resistance from two of the
defendants that they were all finally captured and
lodged in the station.
The prisoners, when called upon for their defence,
gave a general denial to the chief facts alleged against
them ; but
The MAGISTRATE characterized it as an outrageous
assault, and, without giving them the option of paying
any pecuniary penalty, sentenced each of the pri-
soners to three weeks' imprisonment in the House of
Correction.
