Mr. Lomax said General Lomax f,lt much annoy- ;
anc ,t di- ,sod
e.pil-' to blicit3e'lo given to the CUSP ; he was not,
however. mere for his son than he did at
present, namely, to allow him a sufficient sum to main-
tain him. Captain Lomax was a person of such reckless
and dissipated habits, that it was quite impossible to en-
trust him with money. If Captain Lomax was furnished
with money, he would spend it in dissipation, or it he
was supplied with clothes, he would make away with
them immediately. General Lomax gave his seri a
stated allowance, and as the General could not recognise
a divided interest between husband and wife, he could
only refer the wife to his son for support.
Mr. HARDWICKE said, from the statement of Mr. Lo-
max, it was quite clear she had no prospect of receiving
assistance from her husband. Besides, the state of mind
of Captain Lomax. and his general vio:ence tow,irds her.
made it quite impossible for her to live again with him.
Under these circumstances it appeared to him that it
was a question for General Lomax to determine, whether
it would not be the most advisable course, instead of pay-
ing the whole allowance to his son, to set aside a portion,
of it for the use of his datOiter- in law and his infant
granddaughter.
Mr. Lomax could not i%c.mmend the General to adopt
this course.
Mr. IIAnDWICKE said that he had hoped, from the
respectable situation in society occupied by General Lo-
max, that some arrangement wculd have been made to
prevent extreme measures being used. Mrs. Lomax was
in so deplorable a state of destitution as to render a re-

CLE RKEN EL L.

On Saturday morning, a man named John Patten, who
was suspected to be mixed up with a well known gang in
the neighbourhood of Battle bridge, was br,.ught up in
custody of constable S 210, on charge of having stolen a
shovel and a quantity of other tools.
The policeman stated that he saw the prisoner offer-
ing the articles for sale, and suspecting from his appear-
ance that they had been stolen, he took him to the
station-house. He had no doubt but if time were
afforded he would be able to trace out other parties.
The prisoner was remanded.
Ellen Hely was brought up on remand, charged with
stealing two sovere;gns, the prop2rty of Mrs. Lane
Inangaroli, of 106, Hatton-garden.
It appeared that the prisoner had been about a month
in the service of Mrs. lnangaroli, and on Thursday two
sovereigns were missed from the eseretyire. Suspicion
falling on the prisoner, she was searched, and exactly
that sum found upon her.
In her deft nee, she said this was part of money she
had received in wages from a lady named Steward and
another person.
Mr. COMM said, that on inquiry they found her story
about the wages to be true, and also that her employer
hid given her a most excellent character, still he felt
bound to commit him for trial.
WORSHIP-STREE 7'.

T'RECOCIOUS VlLLANv.—Janus licr.!Pth and William
Neville, two lads in the service of Mr. Henry Le Lievre,
an extensive silk 6l) er in Cl, veland-street,
\til -end-
road, were brought up
for final examination, charged
upon their own confession with having carried on a
wholesale system of plunder on their master's premises.
Mr. Heritage, who conducted the case, stated that the
prisoners had been for several months in !the service
of the prosecutor, and that almost daily dur;ug that
period portions of undressed silk had disappeared in an
unaccountable manner from the premises. About fifiy
workmen were constantly employed at the establishun nt
several of whom had been successively suspected, and
consequently discharged from their situations ; and
about a week ago the private watchman was also dis-
missed at a moment's notice, in consequence of another
robbery, which had taken place on the previous night,
and which the prosecutor inferred could not have been
committed without his knowledge and co operation.
Shortly after the poor man had been discharged, how-
ever, the prisoner Horsforth made a voluntary confession
to one of his master's female servants, to the effect
that the whole of the discarded workmen were enti; ely
innocent of the offence, of which he hims, if was alone
guilty, as he had been in the constant habit of con-
cealing the silk underneath his clothes, and that he
afterwards sold it, and shared the proceeds with the
other prisoner. On making the disclosure, the little
rascal chuckled in high glee at the disgrace and odium
which had fallen upon so many innocent men in conse-
quence of his successful depredations, and begged her not
to mention the matter to any one ; but she refused to
accede to his request, and immediately communicated
the circorntance to her master, who gave the prisoner s
into custody.
Ellen Cotterel, the girl above referred to, deposed to
the commuhintion she had received from Horsforth, as
already detailed.
Police-constable Smith, of the K division, proved that
on taking the prisoners into custody, the lad Neville ad-
mitted that he had two shillings as his share of the
last booty, and had also participated in the produce of
two previous robb,ries.
Mr. BROUGHTON said that it was amos.tscriou, off:ncr,
and, as the charge had been clearly e-tablshed against
the prisoners, he should order the depositi,ns to be at
' 0: ce taken, and commit them both for trial
Tho magistrate received information that Daniel
Crawley, tht: Irishman who was stabbed on the 3,1 inst.,
by a woman named Ann Turner, had died soon :after
twelve o'clock on the previous day (Friday). The
woman who was accused of the murder, and who is now
under remand, said that the deceased came into her shop
and threw some meat in her face and treated her in-
decently, and that she put her hands up to protect her
e
hu without any intention of running toe knife into
deceased.
