THAMES.

A tall and powerful man, named Paul Darlington,
was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with steal-
ing a card of gold rings from the shop window of Mr.
R. Carpenter, pawnbroker and jeweller, in Charles-
street, St. George's-in-the-East.
Yesterday morning Mr. Carpenter was in his shop,
and saw the prisoner in the street passing his window,
and as he did so he pushed his elbow through a large
pane of plate glass, which he smashed and drew some
through it. The prosecutor immediately went
out, andcalled " Stop thief. The prisoner was running
as hard as he could, and Mr. Carpenter pursued him,
and although he did not see him stopped, he came up
with him directly he was stopped, and found him in
charge of a police constable in the Commercial load,
Mr. Carpenter took hold of him and saw a card with
some gold rings attached to it in his coat pocket. Mr. Ca-
rpenter took ,it out of the pocket, and the prisoner
strugglei hard and said, "Let me go," at the same
time dropping some gold rings on the road. They
were picked up and handed to the police constable.
On the prisoner's arrival at the station house he
was searched and 10 more rings were found loose in
his pocket. On Mr. Carpenters return to his shop
he missed a card from the window which had con-
tained 27 gold rings, worth 61.
George Simpson, who heard the e window break,
a police consta. ble, 140 K, who
and saw the prisoner running with the card in his
hand, and Bagley,
caught the prisoner as he was running, and took from
him a card on which were 13 gold rings and found
10 more in his pocket, were next examined.
The prisoner, who offered no defence, was corn-
'ted for trial.

LAMBETH.
t',4e names did not transpire,
--Ivice and assistance

allowing this matter to remain there in large opals
pits for a length of time. The nuisance thus created
is in the midst of a densely populated neighbour-
hood of the more humble and indigent classes; and
the consequence is that fever and disease are raging
to a most frightful extent in the immediate vicinity,
and the removal of the nuisance was not only ne-
cessary but absolutely urgent. An application had
been made to the board of guardians of the parish of
St. Mary's, Newington, who were the only parties
under the Act of Parliament that could do so, to take
the necessary means to put down the nuisance, but the
answer received was, that they (the guardians) did not
feel justified in going to the expense of medical certifi-
cates, which were necessary as a preparatory pro-
ceeding, and which expense could not be recovered
from the offenders. That the medical certificate
should not be an object or an obstacle, they (the ap-
plicants) not only offered to pay the expense, but sent
to the clerk of the board the certificates of two pro-
perly qualified surgeons, and hoped that this would
have the effect of moving them in the matter. In
this, however, they were disappointed, for, on next
applying, they were handed a resolution, passed at a
meeting of the board of guardians, and of which the
following is a copy :
" That, taking into consideration the difficulty
attending the carrying out of the Act of 9th and 10th
Victoria, chap. 96, for the more speedy removal of
nuisances, and 'the fact that its operation ceases at the
expiration of the present session of Parliament, this
meeting is of opinion that the board would not be
justified in taking proceedings in the matter."
So that thus they (the applicants) were left without
the means of getting speedily rid of the nuisance ;
and therefore it was that they had determined on
waiting on, and taking the advice of, the magistrate
of the district.

Mr. NORTON, on referring to the Act commonly
called the Nuisance Act, observed that the board of
guardians of the parish of Newington were certainly
the parties to put the law into motion in the matter,
and he could not account for their refusal to do so in
a case like the present, where disease was engendered
and human life endangered by the nuisance, and more
particularly when the expenses attendant on their
proceedings were offered to be defrayed by the appli-
cants. He (Mr. Norton) had no doubt whatever
that by mandamus they could be compelled to act ;
but, as he was always an advocate for mild and con-
ciliatory measures, he would send an officer belonging
to the court, with the applicants, to the clerk of the
guardians, to state to the gentlemen that it was his
(Mr. Norton's) opinion that the case was one in which
the board of guardians should interfere to put down
the nuisance.

The applicants (one of whom said he was the
owner of some houses in the vicinity of the nuisance,
and that at that moment fever was raging amongst
the tenants) expressed their thanks to the magis-
trate for his kindness and attention, and left the
court in company with Redford, one of the sum-
moning officers.
