LAMBETH.

James Galloway, a cheesetnonger in the Walworth-
Pond, who has been in custody for a week past, on a
charge of stealing a parcel of 71 pair of gloves, which
formed a portion of goods of the value of 6001. that ha ,I
been stolen from 17, Regent-str. et West, in the year
1844, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Elliott, for fur-
ther examination.
Mr. Games, and Mr. Parnell, the barrister, appeared
for the prisoner, and Mr. Hobbit attended to watch the
interest of Mr. Wright, the landlord of the Black Horse,
public-house, in Walworth-road, through whose instru-
mentality and information the charge was brought to

Mr. Wright, being sworn, said that while he was

of town a parcel had been left at his house by the pri
soner. The parcel was made up in brown paper,
with a note on the outside addressed to Mr. Jack-
son, and the prisoner said it would be called for. The
piper became torn, so that he saw that the parcel con-
sisted of gloves ; but he had never taken any gloves
from it, nor had he ever ofFered any for sale. Had no
suspiciiin that the gloves had been stolen until a fort-
night since, when the prigmer, after quarrelling with
him, charged him with having stolen property in his
possession. In saying this he did not mention
the pared of gloves ; but he (Mr. Wright),
believing he meant the parcel he had left
himself, sent for Mr. Inspector Hayes, and gave
him up the parcel. The next day two persons
called at his house, and said they had called for the
parcel that had been left there by Mr. Galloway; but he
told them they had called too late, as he had given it up
to Mr. Haynes. He did not think it necessary to give
these persons into custody. And though he had to'd
them he had given the parcel up to Mr. Inspector
Haynes, he had it in his possession at that time. He
did not know either of the persons who had called for

the parcel. Since the last examination witness had ac-
companied the officer to Brentford, to serve a summons
upon a Mr. Gunning there to appear and give evidence.
Gunning told him that Galloway had actually ofjereci hint
the gloves for sale before he took them to his (Mr.
Wright's) house.
Mr. George Gunning was next called, cud deposed
that he had formerly resided in the Wa'worth- road, with
his brother, and was at present a draper in High-street,
Brentford, but knew nothing whatever about the gloves in
question. When he lived in the Walworth-road he used
to frequent the house of Mr. Wright, and was also well
acquainted with the prisoner Galloway. Did not tell
Mr. Wright that the prisoner had offered him any gloves
for sale.

Mr. Hobler to Mr. Wright—Was there any person
present when this person called as a witness had the
conversation with you, and mentioncd about the prisoner
offering him the gloves for sale? Mr. Wright—Yes,
my servant was there, and she is now present.
Lydia Goulding then got into the box and deposed
that on last Friday week she heard Gunning tell her
master that Galloway had offered him the parcel of
gloves for sale before taking them to his (her master's)
house. This was after her master had quarrelled with
Mr. Galloway.

H. Wright said he was at his father's bar at the Black
Horse, Walworth road, when the prisoner brought a
parcel there, and said it would be called for. The parcel
had a brown paper covering on, was tied with a string,
and on the outside was a note addressed to Mr. Jackson.
The note produced was, he had no doubt, the same.
The note, which was admitted to be in the handwriting
of the prisoner, was here read, and was as follows:

" June 13.
" Dear sir,— The party returned last night will look at
the goods to-morrow, if you think proper to leave them.
" Yours respectfully, " J. G.
" To Mr. Thomas Jackson."
Mr. Parnell having addressed the magistrate for the
defendant,
Mr. ELLIOTT said that he felt it to be his duty to send
the case before a jury, and the prisoner was fully com-
mitted for trial.

CURIOUS FACT.—During the nights of Saturday
and Sunday, sixteen prisoners were lodged in the Birken-
head Bridewell, out of which number there were no less
than fifteen Irishman.—Liverpool Standard.
DEATH FROM POISON ADMINISTERED By MIS-
TARE.—SUNDERLAND, OCT. 26.—A painful sensation
has been occasioned in this town by the death of a young
woman named Mary Elizabeth Liddell, 25 years of age,
who resided in West-street, under the following circum-
stances :—lt appears that the deceased, being unwell, on
Thursday evening, sent the daughter of a neighbour to
the shop of Mr. Meldrum, a chemist, for some tincture
of rhubarb. It was dark at the time, and the drug was
supplied by a young man, about seventeen years of age,
Mr. Meldrum's apprentice. Immediately after Miss
Liddell had swalloWed what was brought she was taken
ill, and died on the following morning from the effects of
poison—it being then ascertained that laudanum had
by mistake been substitute i for tho rhubarb. On Sa-
turday the inquest was held before Mr. Maynard, and
the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death," at
the same time severely censuring the young man (Mr.
Meldrum's apprentice) for the negligence which he had
manifested.
PRICE OF GOLD.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 16 per mint, which, at the English Mint price of
3/. 17s. lop per ounce for standard gold, gives an
exchange of 555 ; and the exchange at Paris on
London at short oeing 25 72k, it follows that gold
is 0.68 per cent, dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from L anaburgh the price of gold is 433
per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/.175. 10id.
per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 9 ;
and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short
being 13 94. it follows that gold is 0.12 per cent. dearer
in London than in Hamburgh. The course of ex-
change at New York on London is 109* per cent., To PREVENT ROT IN POTATOES.—Eat them be-

Upon the application of counsel, Mr. ELI lOTT offered
to take large bail for the prisoner's appearance at the
Old Bailey.

SOUTHWARK.
A respectable young woman attended to solicit Mr.
Seeker's advice, under the following circumstances:
The applicant stated, that during the fog that prevailed
over the metropolis the preceding night an infant, about
twelve months old, was left at her street-door. On
taking it into the house she at once observed that it
was an illegitimate child, the offspring of a man and
woman whom she well knew, but who had deserted it,
and left it exposed to the inclemency of the weather.
Not knowing where the unnatural parents were to be
found, she took the child to the workhouse, related the
circumstances under which the found it, but they
peremptorily refused it shelter, and she was, therefore,
compelled to take it home, although she was the mother
of a large family herself, and could ill afford to have
such an addition to her daily expenses
Mr. SECKER said that even if the father of the child
refused to shelter it he was justified if it was illegitimate
and had not been sworn to him. The applicant, there-
fore, must again take the infant to the workhouse,
describe that she had been at this Court on the matter,
and they must take it in, and afterwards use every
exertion is discover the mother, who had shown such
utter want of maternal feelings.

The applicant, having thanked the magistrate, then
withdrew.
