Her Ladyship briefly stated that the defendant re-
fused to give up the property, and had, moreover, made
upon her a demand for money not due to him.

In reply to the charge, defendant said that he had
been in his situation six months, and that on the previous
day (Friday), in consequence of some words which arose
between him and her Ladyship, the latter desired him
to strip off and give up a suit of mourning which had
been presented him by the nephew of his late master,
Sir William Palmer. Ha refused to comply with her
mandate, considering that the clothes were his own ;
and in consequence of his non-compliance, her Lady-
ship abused him, and objected to pay him his demand,
amounting to 81., alleging as her reason for not settling
with him that 21. which had been given him as a pre-
sent by the deceased Sir William should be deducted
from the bill.

Lady Palmer further stated that the defendant with-
' held his suit of livery.
Defendant denied this, and called the butler, who
proved that the whole of it had been given up, and was
still in his (the butler's) possession.
The MAGISTRATE decided that the defendant was
undoubtedly entitled to the mourning, and told him that
with regard to the wages he must proceed against her
in another Court.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
EXTENSIVE BURGLARY.—,John 11. Healey, shopman
o Mr. Bartrarn, an extensive pawnbroker, in Princes-
treat, Soho, was placed at the bar on suspicion of
teing concerned in a burglary committed at his master's
ouse.

It appeared from the evidence adduced against the
prisoner, that on Friday night he had asked permission
to go out for two or three hours, and did not return be-
fore a quarter to twelve. Mr. Howell, who conducts
the business of the firm, and who had with his ffimily
paid a visit to a friend that evening, on arriving home
saw that everything was secure before retiring to rest.
On the following morning he was informed that a visit
had been paid during tha night by thieves, and on going
into the shop discovered that upwards of 70 watches,
some gold seals, ear-rings, and other articles to the value
of 1001., had been carried off. On a close examination
of the fastenings of the premises the general belief was,
that. the robbery must either have been committed by
some person concealed on the premises, or with the
connivance of some of the inmates, as there were no
marks to warrant the idea of a breaking in. The police
were called, and the prisoner was questioned as to
where he had spent the previous evening. He said be
had been to the theatre ; but as the officers considered
he was not sufficiently communicative on the subject of
the performances, and did not reply to their interroga_
tories, he was charged on suspicion of being concerned
in the robbery.

Prisoner, who simply denied the charge, was remanded
until Monday.

HATTON-GARDEN.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY, &C.—Eliza-
beth White, housemaid, and Sarah Connor, cook to
Mr. Pritchard, the Common Councilman, of No. 3,
Duncan-terrace. Islington, were placed at the bar, before
Mr. Oreenwood, charged with suspicion of having been
concerned in stealing a considerable quantity of jewel-
lery, two gold watches, and other property.
It appeared that the Misses Pritchard, on Friday
last, left their residence at two o'clock for the purpose
of witnessing the ceremony of presenting to Prince
Albert the freedom of the city, prior to which they
deposited their jewellery, two gold watches, and a
pocket-book containing gold and notes to a considerable
amount, in their chamber at the upper part of the house.
Their father left home, arid returned at four o'clock in
the afternoon, having left the prisoners alone in the
house. On the return of the young ladies home, about
seven o'clock, they repaired to their chamber, when
they missed their watches, and on examining their drawers
they discovered that the whole of their jewellery had
been stolen, together with their pocket-book, &c. They
made an alarm, when police-constable Scott, 9 N
division, was called in, and on making inquiries, and
examining the doors and windows, he was satisfied that
thieves had not entered the house unless admitted by
the servants, and that the robbery must have been com-
mitted with the concurrence of or by somebody in the
house. The prisoners were given into custody, and on
being searched nothing was found upon them to impli
cate them, and the affair was involved in the greates
mystery.

The prisoners denied all knowledge of the robbery.
Mr. GuEENwoon ordered the prisoner White to be
taken outside whilst he questioned the prisoner Connor.
Connor said that they were allowed no followers, but
White wrs visited by a young man, her sweetheart, a
lawyer's clerk, in the neighbourhood. She did not see
him there on the day of the robbery.
Mr. GREENWOOD had no doubt that White and the
lawyer's clerk were concerned in the robbery, and he
should remand her, but he was inclined to believe that
Connor had no hand in the affair.

Miss Pritchard said that she suspected both the pri-
soners, and pressed for their detention until further in-
quiries could be made.
Mr. GREENWOOD remanded White until Wednesday
next, and ordered Connor to find bail to appear to an-
swer any charge that might be brought against her, and
he directed Sergeants King and Scott to exercise their
utmost exertions during the interim to trace the robbery.
