CROYDON PETTY SESSIONS.

A person named John Harefield, who is respectably
connected, and who for some time has been carrying on
the business of a smith and ironmonger in the town of
Croydon, was brought before the presiding Magistrates,
Messrs. Elyard and Sutherland, upon a charge of stealing
a large quantity of steel, a number of files and other tools,
and a pair of pistols. the property of Mr. James Leman,
ironmonger, of Croydon, High-street.
The inquiry, from the circumstances connected with it,
and from the fact of the accused having all his life resided
at Croydon, and hitherto with an unblemished character,
created a good deal of interest.
James Linton, a sergeant of the P Division of Police,
deposed that, from information he received, he obtained a
search warrant on Saturday morning, and, accompanied by
the son of the prosecutor, he went to the house of a man
named Savage, in the Middle-row, Croydon ; and, upon
making a search, he discovered a great number of bars of
steel, a screw-plate, and other articles, which Mr. Leman
identified as his property. He afterwards went to the priso-
ner's premises, which adjoin those of Mr. Leman, and he
there found a quantity of files, thirteen new stove cheeks,
and some other things, which Mr. Leman also identified.
Upon a further examination he discovered that the back of
the prosecutor's warehouse was only separated from the
prisoner's by a wooden partition, and hn discovered a trap-
door which offered an easy communication to the ware-
house, and through which the property might easily have
been taken.

Joseph Savage proved that the prisoner brought the steel
that was found by the police at his house, to him some time
ago, and asked him to take care of it, as he expected a dis-
treas would be put into his house by the landlord, and he
consented to do so. There was originally, a great deal
more property of the same description, but the prisoner had
removed it, and that produced by the officers was all that
remained.

John Colepepper, another sergeant of police, proved that
he took the prisoner into custody, and upon icarching him
he found among other articles a duplicate for a pair of pis-
tols pledged in the prisoner's name, at the shop of Mr.
Messenger, a pawnbroker, at Croydon, and which pistols
he produced.
Mr. W. B. Leman deposed that he assisted his father
in carrying on the business of an ironmonger. The pri-
soner had formerly been in their employ, but he left in
the month of March last. Both before and since that time,
they had repeatedly missed property, and, in consequence
of some information he received, he was induced to apply
far a search wnrrant, and he accompanied the officers to
Savage's house, where the property was discovered, lie
had no doubt that the whole of the steel, and other things
found there, had formed part of his father's stock ; but
from the large quantity they had, he could only swear po-
sitively to two of the pieces of steel which bore their pri-
vate mark, and which had never been sold. The pistols
produced he remembered giving to the prisoner to repair a
short time before he left their service; and when ho subse-
quently asked him what had become of them, he said he
knew nothing about there.
In answer to questions from the Bench it was stated that
after the prisoner left Mr. Leman's employ, he set up in
business as an ironmonger on his own account.
The prisoner was then asked what ho had to say in an-
swer to the charge ?-110 replied that he bought all the
things of a man for 11. 12s.
The CHAIRMAN asked if he had brought forward the
man he bought them of, and he replied that he had not.
The BENCH said that the charge appeared to be clearly
made out and it was their duty to commit him to take his
trial, and if there was any truth in his statement as to his
buying the articles, it would be very important for him to
produce that person at his trial.
The prisoner was then fully committed.

Mits. GORE'S NEW NOVEL ABOUT PARIS.
—As everybody goes to Paris, everybody should read Mrs.
Gore's new novel, " Greville," or a " Season" in that de-
lightful metropolis—by the production of which the au-
thoress has conferred a real benefit on the public in several
respects. First, she has given them something new—and
secondly, her lively pages contain a view of Paris, socially
considered, such as no writer but herself is qualified to af-
ford. The manner in which Mrs. Gore has introduced her
readers at once into the heart of society in the French ca.
pital is admiratili../ She has supplied the public with that
intimate knowledge of the domestic life of France only to
be obtained by long and familiar residence. In short, it
'could scarcely be thought possible that a single work
could so completely familiarise the reader with the society
of a foreign capital as this novel of " Greville," and no
English person intending to visit Paris should fail to study
its sparkling details.
Newport coal of the best quality is selling at
Bridgwater for 12s. per ton. In consequence of the pre-
valence of north-east winds the vessels for coals from Ire-
land, Devon, Dorset, and Cornwall, have not been able
to reach the Welsh coast. The trade at Newport is
therefore very bad,and there are many colliers unemployed.
