BOW-STREET—(This DAY.)

DARING ROBBERY.—A lad who gave his name
Miclical Cronin, was put to the bar, charged with
stealing from the shop of Mr. Balfour, pawn-
broker, of Chandos-street, two silk handker-
chiefs, about eleven o'clock this morning. The
prisoner took the property in the most daring
manner, and ran off; he was, however, pursued
through Round-court up the Strand, and even-
tually on the Adelphi Wharf, where the hand-
kerchiefs were picked up and given to the shop-
man of the prosecutor. He was remanded until
Tuesday.
The driver of the hackney coach, No. 456,
was brought up on a summons, charging him with
obstructing the way at Covent-Garden Theatre,
on the 29th of December last.
The prisoner pleaded guilty, but said he could
not get out of the way. He was fined 10s. and
costs ; Mr. Halls observing, that he would inflict
a higher penalty if he was again brought up.

ANECDOTE.--A most respected Nobleman, the
Chief Justice of one of our Courts in Dublin,
shortly before he retired from the Irish Bench,
being then not a long time married, came down
one mor►►ing at an unusually late hour to Court
to try an issue from Chancery. When he ar-
rived, he addressed the Jury, whose patience
had been nearly exhausted, " Gentlemen of
the Jury," said the learned and polite Judge,
in accents broken and disconsolate, " I
know not how to make my apology for having
so long detained you ; but most of you are
husbands—all of you are men of feeling—and
will, I have no doubt, sympathise with me. I
am unable to sit out the trial of this issue to-day.
I trust I shall have the excuse—the commisera-
tion of you all—when I tell you"—[here tears
seeming to check the Judge's utterance—his
silent and attentive auditory with outstretched
necks hung on his expected words]—He proceed-
ed—" when I tell you, Gentlemen of the Jury,
what has happened last night—last night poor
Lady C— had a fausse eouche." The silent
astonishment of the Court at the conclusion of
this address was interrupted by Mr. Curran
(Counsel for one of the parties in the cause),
who, rising quietly, turned round to the Jury,
and in his own peculiar serio-comic pathos, ob-
served, " Gentlemen of the Jury, you see there
is no issue."—(frish Times.)
