CROWN COURT.—( Before Mr. Justice Ent.E.)
IV. Cowley Calterell was indicted for stealing a post letter,
the property of the `Postmaster-General, containing a cheque
for the payment of 29/. 2s. 6d., the property of Henry Davis.
By other counts the charge was varied.
Mr. Poulden and Mr. Prideaux conducted the case for the
prosecution, and Mr Stone and Mr. Bailey defended the
prisoner.

The prosecutor, Mr. Henry Davis, was a solicitor, residing
at Western-super-Mare, and the prisoner had been for three
years his managing clerk, but left him on the 13th of June to
go into the service of a Mr. Smith, at Walsall, in Stafford.
shire. On Monday the Bth of June Mr. Henry Davis drew
a cheque on Messrs. Stuckey's bank at Wells for 29/. 2s. 6d.,
in favour of Mr. Horatio Davis of Bath. The cheque was put
in a letter, which letter was copied by one of his clerks, and
on the 9th of June the letter in which the cheque was inclosed
was put into the post-office at Weston. It was addressed to
Mr. Horatio Davis, at his residence in Bath. On the 16th
of June Mr. Henry Davis, not having heard of the receipt
of this letter by Mr. Horatio Davis, made inquiries re-
specting it, and he then found that it had never been re-
ceived by Mr. Horatio Davis. Upon this Mr. Henry Davis
wrote to the post-office and also to Messrs. Stuckey's bank at
Wells. He was told by Captain Giles, the manager of the
bank, that. the cheque had been paid on the 11th of June.
Captain Gales gave a very minute description of the party to
whom it had been paid, which description exactly corres-
ponded with the appearance of the prisoner. Further in-
quiries were instituted, and then it seemed that on the
evening of Tuesday, the 9th of June, the prisoner and two
other clerks left the office of Mr. Davis shortly before seven
o'clock. The up-train left Weston at ten minutes after seven,
and the prisoner, accompanied by another person, went by
that train that evening, and if he had asked for the letter
addressed to Mr. Horatio Davis, at the Bath post-office, it
would have been delivered to him, because the place where
Mr. Horatio Davis lived being without the district which
was within the evening delivery, the letter would not have
been delivered where it was addressed until the next morn-
ing, unless it had been asked for at the office. The down
luggage train arrived at the Weston station about two o'clock
in the morning, and immediately after its arrival the pri-
soner was seen on the platform, accompanied by the person
with whom he had been seen in the train on the previous
evening. On the Wednesday the prisoner was at Mr. Davis's
()Mee, and he said to his two fellow-clerks that he wanted to
go to Bristol the next morning, but he did not wish Mr.
Davis to know of it, and he therefore requested them not to
mention it to him. On that day he was absent from Mr.
Davis's office, but at ten o'clock in the morning he went to
the Greyhound, Broadmead, Bristol, and there saw Mrs.
Slocomb, the landlady, and Miss Williams, the barmaid, and
he then stated that he wanted a horse and gig to go to Wells,
and one was procured for him, and a man of the name of
Richard Jones drove him to the Swan Inn at Wells. The
prisoner told Jones he would go to the bank and do his busi-
ness. He was absent ten minutes. Captain Giles, the ma-
nager, and Mr. Gill, the cashier, were at the bank. The
prisoner went in and presented the cheque in question. Mr.
Gill asked him if his name was Davis? He said it was, and
the amount was handed to him. He returned to the Swan,
and Jones then drove bins back to the Greyhound at Bristol.
He ordered a bed there, and then went out, but did not re-
turn till the following morning. lie had another conversa-
tion with Mrs. Slocomb, and he paid for his bed and refresh-
ment, and went away. He returned to Mr. Davis's, and on
the following day they settled all their matters, and he left
for Walsall.

Mr. STONE, for the prisoner, contended that the jury could
not say it was a post letter, because there might have been a
mistake as to its having been put into the post-office; but
that as regarded his having stolen a piece of paper, for it was
no cheque, not having been drawn within fifteen miles of the
bank, he would not insult them by saying a word.
➢lr. Justice Dux having summed up,
The jury found the prisoner Guilty of stealing the letter
from the post-office.--Sentence, seven years' transportation.
Martha Plummer was indicted for stealing 20 gold rings,
the property of Thomas Crouch; and Mary Wallis and
Martha Candy were indicted for feloniously receiving the
same, knowing them to have been stolen.

Mr. Prideatik was counsel for
.the prosecution, and Mr.
Saunders for the prisoners.
The prosecutor was a travelling jeweller, and on the lith
July he dropped a small casket containing these rings out of
his pocket in a road. It was not long before he discovered
his loss, and he immediately gave notice in the villages
around, and particularly in the village of Writhlington, near
which he thought he had met with his loss, and he offered a
reward of a sovereign. He, however, heard nothing until
the 26th, when he found several of the rings had been
pledged by the prisoners Wallis and Candy, and it was ad-
mitted that they had received them from Plummer, who also
admitted that she had found them.

Mr. SAUNDERS, for the prisoner, submitted that this did
not amount to a larceny, because it had been laid down that
a person finding property and, being ignorant of the owner,
yet keeps it, could not be guilty of a felony.
Mr. PIZIDEAUX said the question was, whether Plummer
er
had a knowledge of the owner, and whether she intendedto
convert the property to her own use. . _

larceny; and the Learned. Judge, in summing up the case,
said the question for the jury was, whether Martha Plummer
intended to convert this property to her own use, and whe-
ther she knew that an owner could be found, and then would
arise the question whether the two other prisoners knew that
these rings were in the possession of Martha Plummer un-
lawfully.
The jury found all the prisoners Guilty, and they were
sentenced to one month's imprisonment, the Learned Judge
stating that persons who found property and did not take
any steps to discover the owner, were guilty of a want of
common honesty as well as of a felony.

NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Lancaster, Aug. 12.
The assizes for the northern division of the county of Lan-
caster commenced here to-day. Their Lordships sat for the
dispatch of business at twelve o'clock; Mr. Justice Cresswell
on the civil side, and Mr. Justice Wightn?an in the Crown
Court. Thirteen causes are entered for trial; one of these,
an issue directed to try the sanity of a testator, will, it i 5
expected, occupy two days. The calendar contains the
names of eleven prisoners, of which five are charged with
burglary, and one with feloniously cutting and wounding.
Nothing of public interest occurred on the Civil side.
Three causes relating to a disputed right of water were re-A
ferred, and the Court was engaged the greater part of the
day with a question of disputed liability for some timber,
the details of which were not such as to call for particular
notice.

(Before Mr. Justice WIGMTMAL)
George Kelly was indicted for burglary in the house of
Edmund Sharpe, at Poulton, on the 7th of August.
Mr. Drinkwater appeared for the prosecution.
The prisoner is a young man of rather respectable appear-
ance, and conducted his defence with a good deal of clever-
ness and self-possession.
The prosecutor, it appeared, had been absent from home
on the 6th of August, and the other inmates of the house re-
tired to rest about ten o'clock. They were not disturbed
during the night, but, on the servant going down stairs on
the following morning, it was found that the house had been
entered by one of the windows, the shutters of which had
not been fastened. A drawer in the room had been broken
open, and two telescopes, a pencil-case, a waistcoat, and
other articles, taken away. The two telescopes, which were
now produced and identified, were on the following morning
seen in the possession of the prisoner, at Ellal, near Poulton,
about eleven o'clock. He was then offering them for sale to
a person whom he met at the public-house. He was offered
Is. 7d. for them, which he at that time refused ; but late in
the evening he was again met by the same parties at the
same house, and agreed to take the money offered. lie was
apprehended the following day, at the Lancaster races.—
Verdict, Guilty.
His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, said that the prisoner
was evidently a person of more than ordinary intelligence,
and apparently not inexperienced in courts of justice. The
offence of which he had been convicted was a very serious
one, and he was too dangerous a person to be permitted to
remain in this country; and sentenced him to be transport
ed
for seven years.

SALE OF TIN WOnES.—Yest•rday Mr. Robins of-
fered for sale at the Auction Mart the well-known and exten-
swe works situate close to the town of Kidwellv, in South
Wales, under the corporation of which borough they are held
upon a lease for 99 years. They are situate about two miles
from the sea, on the banks of ‘l"Wendrath Faek river, and a
few miles from the towns of Carmarthen and Swansea.
The average weekly manufacture of plates was stated
to be about 200 boxes. The sale, which
was understood to
be by the direction of the mortgagee, was but thinly at-
tended. 1,500 guineas was the first bidding, which ulti-
mately increased to 1,900 guineas, at which sum it was
knocked down. It was understood to be bought in by the
mortgagee.
