CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY).

OLD COURT.

William Bowers, a letter-carrier in the Post-office, pleaded guilty
to an indictment charging him with stealing and secreting two letters
while employed in that capacity.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Pit.i.mes for the prisoner.
The Rev. Dr. Dlbden, Rector of St. Mary's, Marylebone, was pro-
duced on the part of the prisoner, and gave him an excellent character.
lie stated that he had been in his service for ten years previous to his
entering the Post-office, and that he always found him a person of un.
deviating integrity and good conduct, otherwise he should not have re.
commended him to that establishment.
Edward Brenchley Hogwood, who pleaded not guilty yesterday to an
indictment, charging him with stealing a letter, containing 51., the pro-
perty of Jonathan Chapman, lie being employed at the time in the Post.
office, on being placed at the bar this morning,
.begged to withdraw his
former plea, and to plead guilty to the two last counts in the indict-
ment, which charged him merely with stealing the letter, but did not
allege that it contained valuable security.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then said, that as the previous character of
the prisoner had been represented to him as excellent, he would, on the
part of the Post-office, enter a nolle prosequi en the remaining and
more serious counts of the indictment.

NEW COURT.
(Before the RECORDER.)
INGRATITUDE.—Edward Elton', a private in the Marines, was in-
dicted for stealing 165., the property of Mary Mitchell.
It appeared that the prosecutrix, a poor woman, residing on Bexley
Heath, was at the Coach and Horses, Woolwich, on the day of the rob-
bery, and there met the prisoner and one of his comfades. Ellam asked
her to stand a pot of beer, which she did ; but on his requesting her to
order another, she refused, being a poor broom-seller. After some en-
treaty, however, she yielded to his request, and took out a bag contain.
ing some silver to pay for the beer, when the prisoner snatched it from
her and ran out of the house.
A policeman was called and stated, that when he apprehended the
prisoner he had a considerable portion of the money in his possession.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
The RECORDER asked if any one knew what the prisoner's previous
character had been.
The constable replied that the Sergeant-major had given an excellent
character.
The ItEcoanna said it would be well if some one from the corps at-
tended to t istify that fact before sentence was passed.
The officer of the Court was directed to make the poor woman a
liberal allowance.
