MA RLBRCY-ST REET-(THIS DAY.)

-.---
John Phillips, a general dealer, carrying on business
in Little Coram-street, Brunswick square, and James
Pringle, bis shopman, were bnitight up for rt,•examina-
tion, the former charged with purchasing a. quantity of
cutlery, and the latter with pledging the saute, well
knowing it to be stolen property.
Mr. Sidney, the solicitor, of Hatton-garden, appeared
for the prisoners.

It appeared that on the morning of Friday last the
premises occupied by Mr. John Everard, cutler and
surgical instrument maker, Charles-street, Middlesex
Hospital, were entered by thieves, and about 25 dozen
knives, and other articles of cutlery were stolen from a
case in the shop. On the rtibbery being discovered, in-
formation was sent to the police, and an officer of the E
division, nantrd Eigg, was employed to trace the pro-
perty, at.d ,vAituatly found that, a portion of the stolen
articles: had been pledged by Pringle, at a pawnbrultet's
in Wilmot-street, Erunswick-squalv. Pringle was ac
cordingly apprehended, when he at once admitted to
having pledged the knives by the direction of the pri-
soner Phillips. The latter was then taken into custody,
and on the constable searching his shoo several knives
we're found, which were idtntifi,d by Mr. Everard as a
portion of the property stolen from his shop.
Mr. Gill, pawnbroker, Wilmot street, Brunswick
square, produced a quantity of knives, which were
plwdged at his shop on Friday last, by the prisoner
Pringle. The ticket was made out in the name of
Andr,ws, Little Coram street.

Mr. Everard identified the knives as his property.

Mr. Sidney said, as far as regarded Pringle, it did not
appear to him that there was any case at all against him
(I'r:rigle). lie (Pringle) was merely a servant, and had
pledged the knives by the dirt ction of his employer
Philips. He, therefore, respectfully submitted to the
Court that Pringle was entitled to his discharge.
Evidence having ben offered that Pringle was really
in the employ of Phillip.,
Mr. BINGHAM at On.ee ordered him to be discharged.
Mr. Sidney then addressed the court in defence of
Phillips, whom he stated was a marine store•dealer, and
was in the habit of purchasing all sorts of miscellaneous
property. His client purchased the knives produced in
the usual way of business, and entered the purchase in a
hook kept for that purpose. Not wanting all of them,
he sent Pringle to pledge some of them at Mr. Gill's,
with directions to pledge them in the name of Andrews.
Had his client had the remotest idea that the knives had
been stolen, he would not have bought them.
Mr. BlNGruar inquired if the man from whom Phil.
lips breti ht the knives could be pindueb (I? Phillips
said he thought he should be able to produce him if the
ca,e was remanded.
Mr. BINGEIABI then remanded him till Monday next,
but at the r• quest of Mr. Sidney, agreed to accept bail
in two sureties of 2.5 a each, and the prisuuer in 501., for
his appearance on Monday next.

SUSPICIOUS DEATH IN ST.
GbORGES'-IN THE EAST.

This morning at an early hour the greatest alarm pre-
vailed in ine vicinity of St. Georges'-iu-the-East, in con •
queuce of a man named Young, aged about 50 years,
ing found ad at bib residence in Split's-buildirgs,
Men-street, Back Church-lane, under suspicious cir-
cumstancks.

Upon making inquiry, it appears that the deceased
was a ir,ry steady man, io the employ of Messrs. Huare
dud Co., the brewers, of East Smithfield. His wife was
n.qu,ntly in the:habit of ill-treating the d-ressed when
rke came home from labour. He returned from his em•

,loyment at a late hour of the evening, and soon atter
his reaching home, the neighbours were alarmed by
hearing the deceased quarrelling with his wife. About
midnight, a drevful struggle was heard, and imme-
diately afterwards a violent fall downstairs. A groaning
noise inside ensued, and soon afterwards a 1 became'
quiet. Nothing more was s~•en or heard of them until
act early hour this morning, when the woman ealle.i in
a next door neighbour to see the deceased. who sh.
'aid bad fallen down stairs, and had killed hinaselr.
Information was forwarded to the Len,ao-street Police
Station, when several constables repaired to the spot;
and from what transpired, it was thought necessary to
take charge of the woman and the dead body.
Mr. Bingham, of Back Church -lane, was called in,
and made an examination of the deceased, whom he be•
lieved had been dead many hours. The deceased bad
most probably been thrown down stairs in the night,
and the force of the full had broken his neck, from which
he must have expired almost ins antsy.
Information was sub,equently forwarded to Mr. W.
Balser, the Coroner, and that gentleman will hold an
inquest on the body this afternoon at the Prince of
Orange public house, Ellen• street.
The woman is in custody of the police, until the re-
sult of the inquiry before the coroner is made known to
the Magistrate.

REPRESENTATION OF LEOMINSTER.

LEOMINSTER, THURSDAY NIORNING.—A sudden and
very unexpected change in the position of parties pend-
ing the election for the vacancy , ceasioned in the repre-
sentation of this borough has taken piece. Sir Ed, ard
Bulwer Lytton, tired, as he says, with the indecision
the electors a 3 to the man of their choice, has ful-
filled his,promise, and withdrawn his name as a candi-
'ate. The field, however, is not left open to Mr.
Peel; for the withdrawal of Sir. Edward has once more
brought forward Mr. Phillimore, son of Dr Phillimore,
who, it will be remembered, offered himself as a can-
didate for the representation ot the borouol on ex-
treme Liberal principles; but who subsequently retired,
as he said, " in order that the Liberal party might not
pt., divided." Tne new addresses of Sir Edward Bul-
wer Lytton and Mr. Phillimore are just out. Sic
Edwara's is worth reading. He says, atter reminding
the electors of his declaration to th,,m, than, unless
a large proportion of those who withheld their pro-
mises could be soon relieved from their suspense,
should at least put au end to his own:—" You received
this intimation with great good humour, and it was noi
without effect upon that part of the constituency whose
doubts the expression of my political opinions had
sufficed to dispel. Still, however, there remained a
considerable number of yours to whom the expla-
nation ot political opinions (no matter how candid ano
minute) seemed to afford no solution to doubt, and nit
motive for decisiou." He adds, that after it delay to
allow them time to make up their minds—" I now learn
from Mr. Woodhouse (whose long expc rierice of hi,
tel precludes the probability of a mis-
take in his report) that out of a constituency licit,
.xceeding four hundred, more than one hundred
voters are still as dubious and irresolute as when
me question of a substitute for Mr. Bally was
first obtruded on their con,ideration ; nay, that it is
heir own belief, that only at the day of polling
ill the light be suddenly revealed to them. Most um
thew electors, it is true, still imply very favourable in
elinaitions towards my cause; but I know of nothing
within my power to prevent the Notes separating them
selves from the inclinations, and fl)ing off at the last
hour in an utterly opposite direction. It only remains
for me, therefore, to adhere to toy word, and to relievi
from all public perplexity electors so elite to the im-
portance of their duties and the value of thyir franchise."
'The lion. Baronet then thanks those who have frank')
supported him, and takes his leave of the electors of
Leominster.

Mr. Phillimore's address is chiefly a repetition of tf.e
principles which were enunciated in his first undress to
the electors, to which he refers them, and he adds:—
" In spite of scurrilous abuse and spiteful depreciation,
Ido not mean to retract or quality them. They
are principles which have ennoblvd the most illus-
trious names in modern story, and by them I am content
to stand or tall." He considers that the revenues of
the Church of England are not distributed in the
manner most calculated to promote the spiritual wel
care of the inhabitants of this country; that our law is
" a disgrace to a civilized count ry ;" that the Established
Church in Ireland " is a mockery of all religion and an
outrage of all justice;" and he is an uncompromising
advocate of free trade.

Mr. Frederick Peel has not yet returned to Leomin-
ster, but is expected on the day after the opening of Par-
liament. Hts friends are confident, and so are those of
Mr. Phillimore. The new state of things has created a
ht.*le more stir in the borough.
