THAMES.-(THIS DAY.)

Michael M'Manaa, a respectable-looking young man,
described as a student, was brought before Mr. Ballan-
tine, charged with stealing 200 sovereigns, the property
of his uncle, Rev. John Ryan, the parish priest of Athea,
in tho county of Limerick.
Police constable Shene, No. 38$ K, stated that on the
17th instant, the prisoner came to his house, and said he
had just arrived from Ireland, and that he had been
lodging at witness's brother's house, and that he did not
like to leave his money there. Ho then requested wit-
ness to take charge of a small mahogany cash-box, and
left the house. Witness did not see him again until
Sunday last, when ho told witness that ho robbed his
uncle in Ireland of a large sum of money. Witness al-
lowed the matter to rest for a few days, in consequence
of his knowing where to find the prisoner. Yesterday
morning witness proceeded to the home of his brother,
and he was informed that a letter had been received
from Mr. Ryan, stating that the prisoner bad stolen from
his house the sum of 200 sovereigns. Witness's brother
had given the prisoner the letter, and when witness
reached his house he found the prisoner waiting for him.
He said the witness would find 86 sovereigns in the
cash-box, and the remainder he Lad left with a cousin in
Ireland. Witness then took him into custody, and
lodged him at the station-house.
Mr. BALLANTINE asked the prisoner what he had to
say in defence of this charge ?—The prisoner replied
that he had nothing to say. He stole the money.
Mr. BALLANTINE—I shall remand you for a week, and
in the mean time letters shall be written to Mr. Ryan,
who will probably attend.

WORSHIP-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Herman Geiger, stated to be a reduced wine merchant,
and Martha, his wife, who had as infant at her breast,
were charged as follows:—
Mrs. Phillis Barnet, landlady of the White Hart Inn,
Kingsland-road, said they came to her house and took
lodgings for the night, on Saturday se'nnight. They
remained there a few days, and kit at request of witness,
who, however, on going into the room they had vacated,
discovered that a pillow, a blanket, a table•knif'e, and
several other articles were missing. They were subse-
quently discovered and given into the custody of a police-
constable, and the knife was found in their possession, but
no other property belonging to witness. They had a
profusion of trunks and boxes.
Mr. Best, proprietor of the Railway Coffee House,
Shoreditch, said, the prisoners, accompanied by two
children, besides the infant, came to his establishment
in a cab, and engaged an apartment. Their boxes,
which were numerous, were weighty, and their appear-
ance altogether was such as to indicate their having just
arrived by railway. They run up a score, but the stench
which came from their room, and which he had since
found was emitted from their boxes, which contained de-
cayed cabbage leaves and other filth, had rendered the
house intolerable, and he would freely forego the debt
they had contracted if they would take their things
and themselves away from his premises.
Mr. ARNOLD remanded him for a week, but subse-
quently took their own recognizances for their appear-
ance at that time.

Inspector Gravestock said that 47 duplicates had been
found in their posses ion, evidently all relating to their
own property. He believed the prisoners to be greatly
distressed.
