Q UEEN- S Q UA RE.
EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY. -- Sarah
French, a good-looking young woman, was placed at
the bar, charged with stealing a pair of diamond ear-
rings, an emerald necklace, and other articles of jewel-
lery, valued at 90/., the property of her master, John
Evans Thomas Esq., residing at No. 7, Lower Bel-
grave-place.

Mrs. Thomas said that on Sunday afternoon she went
up stairs to dress, and was astonished to find that the
whole of her jewels had been abstracted from the casket.
She immediately inquired of the prisoner, who was the
only servant then at home, if she knew what had be-
come of the property. The prisonersaid she did not know.
Complainant's suspicions were, however, aroused, and
she caused the prisoner's box to he searched, and in it
was found a bottle of sherry, similar in appearance to
that in the cellar. Prisoner was asked to account for
the possession of it, and the statement she made being
proved to be false, she was given into custody.
Emma Walmsley, the housemaid, said, that on
Wednesday afternoon last her mistress sent for her into
the parlour, and asked her if she knew any thing of a
gold watch which she had missed from a cushion in her
sleeping apartment. Witness said she knew nothing
of it ; and soon afterwards went and examined the
jewel case, thinking the watch might be there, it WJS
not, but the jewels were safe. On Thursday she
looked into the jewel case and found it empty : she did
not mention the circumstance to her mistress, as she
imagined they had been taken away for safety. She
told the prisoner about it, and said she thought her
mistress suspected her, and she should be sorry if it
were so, as her friends were most respectable, and the
prisoner's reply was, " Oh, no ; witness was not ono
of that sort."

The prisoner said she knew nothing of the robbery.
The Magistrate remanded the prisoner for a week.

On Thursday afternoon, as Sir William Follett
was driving in his carriage in Hyde Park, near the Serpen-
tine, in company with Lady Follett, and other ladies, the horses
took fright, and it was with the utmost difficulty they were
prevented from backing the carriage into the water. One of
the ladies was slightly injured in getting out of the carriage.
On Friday afternoon an inquest was held at the
Prince of Wales, Hampstead-road, on the body of Harry
Brougham Ciodwin, aged five years and six months. It ap.
peared from the evidence that on Wednesday last, about half-
past to elve in the afternoon the deceased went out to play, and
in about two minutes after he was run over by one of Hanson's
patent safety cabs. He was taken into the surgery of Mr.
Clarke, and died in about half an hour after. The Rev. W.
Landon said that he was in the cab at the time of the accident,
and no blame whatever was attributable to the driver. The
Curoner summed up, and the jury, after an hour's deliberation,
returned a verdict of " Accidental death," with a deodand of
5/. on the cab, on the ground that this species of cab prevents
the driver from seeing what is before him.
