A TRAGEDIAN IN A NEW CHARACTER..,-,1-IEECIL.V. DENVIL,

This was an action to recover the sum of 10/. for
board and lodging. The defendant is the well-known
actor who has for some years past enjoyed a tolerable
share of popularity at some of the best minor theatres,
and who, under Mr. Bunn's auspices, made what was
considered at the time a successful appearance at Drury-
lane, in the character of Shylock, and afterwards in Lord
Byron's tragedy of Manfred.
The plaintiff stated that the debt had been contracted
a considerable time, and that the defendant had had an
ample opportunity of paying it, having taken a benefit
at the Woolwich Theatre, by which no netted nearly 401.
His HONOUR said, under those circumstances, much
as be regretted it, he had no alternative but to make
an order for the defendant's commitment for fourteen days.

Tho defendant, who was absent, subsequently applied to
his ll.,nour for some indulgence.
His HoNoun regretted that be had no power to
rescind his judgment; and the defendant, who made no
reply, was placed in the custody of one of the officers of
the court, from whence, being unable to raise the
money, ho was, at the rising of the Court, conducted
to durance vile.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.

(The trial of Mullins concluded from our Afternoon
Edition of Saturday.)
Several other witnesses were called and examined, for
the purpose of contradicting the evide• co given by the
informer Barrett, but they did not shake his testimony
in any material degree. The evidence given
by these witnesses was a recapitulation of
that which they gave on the trials of
Dowling, Fay, Cuffty, and others at the last session.
Similar testimony was also given for the purpose of cast-
ing suspicion upon the evidence given by the approver
Powell, and showing that he was not to be believed on
his oath, but the testimony of Powell was not shaken in
any important circumstance.
This closed the case on behalf of the prisoner.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied at some length
upon the evidence that had been adduced on behalf of
the prisoner,
The Court then adjourned for half an hour, and upon
its resumption,
Mr. Justice MAULS, at two o'clock, proceeded to sum
up the case to the jury, and concluded at three o'clock.
The jury retired, and after an absence of an hour and
a half, returned into court with a verdict of, Guilty, but
strongly recommended him to mercy.
Several witnesses. gave favourable evidenca with re-
spect to the prisoner's former character.
Mr. Justice MAULE postponed passing sentence till
donday morning.
The Court then adjourned.

THIRD COURT.
(Before Mr. BULLOCK.)
John Jackson, 22, William Warren, 22, described as
tailors, and Mary Thirrows, 23, spinster, were indicted,
Jackson for stealing 90 gold pencil• cases and other pro-
perty, valued at 1004, the property of John Sheldon,
and Warren and Burrows with receiving the same,
knowing it to have been stolen.
The prosecutor, a manufacturer of pencil-cases from
the country, stated that about the middle of September
he arrived in London, bringing with him the property
in question, which were patterns to show his town cus-
tomers, and requiring to take them round with him in
his calls he engaged the prisoner Jackson (of whom he
had received a satisfactory character) to carry the bag
and case containing the property. The prisoner re-
mained with him for several days and conducted himself
very properly. On the 25th of September the prose-
cutor, i❑ the course of his rounds, had to call upon a cus-
tomer who occupied the upper part of a house in
the Strand. He accordingly went there, accom-
panied by the prisoner, whom he left in the
passage with the property, and proceeded up
stairs, where ho remained for about a quarter
of an hour, and on his coming down he found that the
prisoner had absconded with the case and bag. He im-
mediately proceeded to the police-station and gave in-
formation, and the result was, that in less than three
hours the woman Burrows was apprehended trying to
sell one of the pencil-cases, a part of his property; he
subsequently saw the remainder in the possession of the
police.

The rest of the evidence went to prove that the woman
had pawned one of the pencil-cases within two hours of
he commission of the offence. When at the station she
gave a false address,. but Sergeant Loom soon succeeded
in discovering that she resided at a brothel in York •
street, Westminster, and upon going there found the
prosecutor's case and bag under the bed, the property
having been taken out and hidden between the mattrass
and the sacking of the bedstead, and the whole of the
property, with the exception of 3L worth, was recovered.
The prisoner Jackson managed to escape apprehension
until last Saturday fortnight, when the sergeant, learn-
ing that he frequented the Yorkshire Stingo, went there
and apprehended him. Warren was with him, and he
said, " You may as well have my pal," pointing to him.
Warren immediately ran off, but was pursued and cap-
tured.

A woman lodging near where Burrows resided de-
posed to seeing Warren enter the house on the afternoon
in question, with a bag, and followed by Jackson carry-
ing the case. Warren was also proved to have offered
one of the pencil-cases for sale, and vas a known bad
character.

The jury found them all Guilty, and they were sen-
tenced to seven years' transportation.
Ana Aran, a smartly attired young woman, described
in the calendar as a widow, was indicted for stealing a
watch valued at 101., the property of the Rev. William
Henry Wayne, in the dwelling-house of Henry Lowe.
Mr. Charnock prosecuted, and Mr. Parnell defended.
The facts of the case were proved to be these:—The
prosecutor, who resides at Much Wenlock, in Shrop-
shire, being in town last July, went to lodge at No. 14,
Surrey-street, Strand, it being a boarding-house kept
by the master of the prisoner. The watch in question
had been safe in his portmanteau previously to the rev.
gentleman's leaving,: which took place on the 19th of
that month. On his return home, having occasion for
his watch,; he opened his portmanteau and discovered
that it had been abstracted. He immediately wrote to
town, and subsequently a Captain Foskett came to town
about it. It was prisoner's duty to wait upon the lady of
the house; and when Mrs. Lowe received the letter the
prisoner was interrogated about it, when she declared
she had no knowledge of the robbery, and wished them
to believe that it was one of the boarders, whom she
mentioned, that had taken it. Mrs. Lowe not having
any suspicions of the prisoner she remained in the ser-
vice until the present month, when Mrs. Lowe having
lost a ring, and another of the boarders a valuable fur
tippet, she was taxed with the theft, and a policeman
being sent for, he proceeded to 12, Neville's-court, Fetter-
lane, where she used to go, and there, in a box which
belonged to her, and was locked, be found the watch,
and also two rings belonging to Mrs. Lowe, together
with the fur tippet. When charged before the magis-
trate the prisoner made a long statement, to the effect
that her mistress had committed the robbery, giving
her the watch to take taro of, and finding she was likely
to be detected, her mistress wished to fix the guilt
upon her.
Mr. PARNELL said there was no foundation for such a
statement, but begged the jury to look mercifully into
the case, as it was not the case of a common thief, the
prisoner having never attempted to dispose of the pro-
perty, although with ample opportunity of so doing.
The jury found her Guilty, with a recommendation to
mercy.
Mr. Bennoca. said the case was a very bad one, and
transported the prisoner for seven years.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.

On Saturday, William Legg, a young man, stated to be
a butler in a gentleman's family, was brought before the
Lord Mayor, in the custody of Michael Deady, an officer
of the police, upon the charge of having married Dinah
Squire Rowe, his former wife being alive.
The prosecutrix was evidently in extreme distress of
mind, and was obliged to sit during her examination.
She said she had known the prisoner about eighteen
months, and was married to him at the district church of
All Saints, Lambeth, eight months ago. Lie told her
that he was a bachelor, and she had lived with him as his
wife till Wednesday last, when she was informed that
he had another wife. There was no doubt at all of the
truth of the accusation, as the woman the prisoner was
first married to was ready to come forward.
The brother of the prosecutrix stated that the first
wife of the prisoner resided near Southampton, and had
had three children by him. She had been represented to
witness as a woman of excellent character. Witness
understood that the prisoner had lately kept a small
shop in Leadenhall-street, and that he had previously
been a gentleman's servant.
The prisoner said he had noting to state as to the of-
fence with which he had been charged, but if it was the
Lord Mayor's intention to send him to prison what was
he to do about a gentleman's house in Leadenhall-street
in charge of which ho had been left, and which was, he
believed, likely to be taken on Monday?
The LORD MAYOR said the officers world take care
that no mischief,-shoulcktake.place on the premises.
Deady said, [be prisoner stated that he had pro-
perty upon tha-liteiiiiiel-,—and that he wished to get it
away.

The prisoner—Mr. Rowe, the brother of my accuser,
wanted me to give him up some property which I have,
and I believe it I had agreed to that there would be very,
little said about the matter.

The prisoner was then remanded.
Matthew Reilly was charged with having committed a
burglary in the house of Mr. Wadhitn, piper agent, at
36, Upper Thames-street.
The prisoner was seen by a policeman, at a little be-
fore two o'clock in the morning, crossing Old Fish-
street-hill. lie had a heavy bundle under his arm and
seemed to be shifting it about suspiciously. Upon being
asked by the policemen what he was carrying, he said
" llis own property ;" but finding that his veracity was
c10ut,.„,1 .•
ue turew down his burden, a large cloert, and
a bundle of clothes, and took to his heels in earnest. The
cry of " Stop thief!" was instantly raised, and he joined
in-it with wonderful seal, increasing in vociferation as
he ran along. The trick would have deceived a new-
fledged policeman, but as the prisoner was flying across
Watling-street, .anexperienced tactician of the force,
who would not be gulled by it, seized bins. Ills trick
only enabled him to slip through th-hands of one dan-
gerous customer into tho'se of another. Along.' he
scampered, with the cry of "Stop thief !" behind him

The prisoner declared that it was quite a mistake in
the officer to say he had been begging; and as for the
blind man he never had seen him before.

The LORD MAYOR-Why you know that we are well
acquainted with your tricks. How often have you been
here? The prisoner—l have altered that sort of life,
my Lord, I do assure you. It's no gammon, your Lord-
ship. My leg is bad, and no mistake. Let the doctor
look at it.

The LORD MAYOR—WeII, if your leg is in a bad
state the doctor shall cure it in Bridewell.
The prisoner—l hope you won't send me there this
time. Let me off now, and I'll never come into the city
again, either with the lame or the blind.
The LORD MAYOR—No; you must go to Bridewell.
If you are not fit to be put to hard labour you shall be
excused; but if you are, you shall go to work at once.—
