Toe &positions of Sslomon Isaacs, as given on
Teursday, we: e hero read over by Mr. Goodman, the
chief clerk, and the witness stated, in cress.examination
by Mr. Parry, as follows--I was eamesoned before the
Lord Mayor by the prisoner for the value of the cases
which I had lust. I had not defied him before that. I
was ordered by the Lord :Mayor to;pay 34 to the pri-
soner. and I would have paid it, bat he would not give
a receipt.
Mr. Parry—When were your suspicions first excited
that the watch had been stolen?—Witness—lt was frdm
his conduct. lle gave me very abusive language, and I
thought I'd find out whether the watch was stolen or
not. On Saturday last 1 began to inquire.
Mr. Parry—Did you sot say after the hearing of the
summons that the watch. had been stolen at Epsom ?
Witness—l think not. It did not emanate from me. It
might be from my brothot.
!qr. Party—Did you hear your brother say so ?
Witness—l did not hear h'in say so, and' did not say se
myself. lam rut aware that he said so. I did not
send my brother with cog Vri:t,2ri paper to the prisoner.

give the prisoner in charge.
Air. Parr- —I ask you whither your brother was the
person who gave the prisontr into custody.
Finnis (the effi ier)—Mr. Vinden is the person who
gave the prisoner into eustocy ?
Mr. Parry suggested tht propriety of calling and
examining Solomon Isaac's brother, who, he had been
given to understand, seated, sn the day the summons
was heard, that the watch had been stolen at Epsom.
The brother of Solomon Taos here presented him-
Self, and expressed a wish as
Glared that he was perfectly ready to state all that had
come to his knowledge upon tte subject.
The LORD MAYOR said h
..c e be examined. He de
lollected that _upon the
hearing of the summons somehtdy in court said some-
thing about the watch having
keen stolen at Epsom, but
there was no distinct statementmaele.
Isaacs's brother was not called as a witness either for
the prosecution or the defence.
Mr. Parry; on the part of the defence, said his client
utterly denied that the works produced belonged to the
watch which he had put into the possession of Solomon
Isaacs; and certainly if the prisoner wished to identify
himself with a stolen watch he coald not appear before a.
tribunal in which greater facilities abounded for the de-
tection of offences than a court which was presided over
by a magistrate of so much skill and experience. It
was,_therefore, very improbable thit the prisoner would,
with a consciousness of guilt, have dared to seek repara-
tion for a loss sustained at the hands of the person who
adopted such a desperate mode of retaliation. Thapan
at the bar was, as could be shown, a person of blamelessand irreproachable character, and it could be shown also
that he had refused to sign a paper which had been pre-
sented to him by the friends of
Solomon Isaacs, because
he believed that paper contained matter which would
probably have been used as elements of self-condem-

nation.
The LORD MAYOR—It is my determination to send
this case before a jury, but I am stilling to accept bail.
I shall, therefore, require the prisoner's own surety in
801., and two sureties in 401. each, for his appearance at
the next session of the Central Criminal Court, to answer
this charge.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Etheldred Bennett was brought up for final examina-
tion, charged with having robbed his employers, Messrs.
Ablett and Wheeler, silk mercers and glovers, 234,
Regent-street.
Mr. Ablett said the prisoner had been in the employ
of the firm about seven years. In consequence ot re-
ceiving an anonymous letter, suspicions were raised re-
specting the prisoner's honesty. On the 13th instant he
marked about 121. in gold and silver money, and placed
it in the till. Arrangements were also made that certain
parties should come into the shop and make purchases
paying for the goods in marked money. About seven
o'clock the same evening the books were examined, and
an amount of I li. 6d., paid by a person named Wheat
ley, was ascertained not to have been entered. The
prisoner was asked to produce the money he bad about
him. The prisoner turned out his pockets, and a half-
sovereign and a shilling, marked money, were found it
his possession._ He was then accused of robbing th,
firm, on which he repeatedly said, " For God's sake
forgive me, and I will give you all I have." The pri-
soner was in the receipt ot a salary of 1501. per year;
he received no commission on goods sold, though he
might have occasionally received a premium for making
a sale.
George Stanley proved that he had been employed by
Mr. Ablett to buy goods at the shop, and to pay foe
them in marked money. The half sovereign found on
the prisoner had been given by him in payment of his
pretended purchases.
Richard Wheatley had also been employed by Mr.
Ablett for the same purpose. He bought goods which.
came to 11s. 6d., and paid the prisoner for them.
The prisoner was committed on both these cases.
The prisoner was next charged with stealing a quan-
tity of property belong to his employers.
Inspector Lund said he went to the prisoner's house
in Acacia-road, St. John's-wood, and found a quantity of
silk stockings, handkerchiefs, and other articles with the
private mark of the firm upon them.
The prisoner did not deny his guilt, and he was also
fully committed on this charge.
Mr. LEWIS, who attended for him, applied to have the
property not identified, found ut the prisoner's house,
given up to the wife, whose position was to be pitied.
Mr. WONTNER, for the prosecution, hoped the magis-
trate would not accede to the request. The fact was,
the prisoner, with a salary ot about 1501., had
been living at the rate of 6001. a year at
least, and no doubt at his employer's expense. The

watches, gold buttons, and a gold-handled whip, besides
packs of dinner cards. Also among
the prisoner's
ample wardrobe was found a pair of hunting breeches,
lined with crimson silk. The prisoner did not live with
his wife, preferring rather the company of a younger
female, who was at the head of his Acacia-road estab-
lishment.
Mr. HARDwicie refused the application to deliver up
the property.
