CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.)

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)

Stephen Stout, 26, agent, was indicted for uttering a
forged acceptance for 25 guineas, with intent to defraud.
It appeared that the prisoner had been agent to Messrs.
Judkins, the inventor of the sewing machine, and had
been sent by them to Plymouth, where he had sold one
of the machines for 25 guineas to a gentleman named
Cross, and was paid in money. He however paid his era
ployers with the bill in question, alleging that he had
received it from Mr. Cross, whose name he had forge'
to it. He was found guilty and transported for 14
years.

This, with some other unimportant cases, closed the
business of the session.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

BOW-STREET.

DEFRAUDING A TOLL COLLECTOR.—A man named
Dennis, a builder's labourer, was placed at the bar ble
morning, on remand, charged with attempting to defraud
the toll collector at Waterloo-bridge.
It appeared that the prisoner adopted the following
plan of carrying out his object. One evening in the pre'
ceding week he, accompanied by four other persons in
similar employment as himself, arrived at the wicket of
Waterloo-bridge, when the prisoner threw down half-e;
crown to pay for the passage of five persons. The toll
collector took up the coin and placed the change on the
table of the wicket which the prisoner took up. After
looking at it some time he said there was a sixpenni
short, and demanded his full change. The toll collector
feeling nearly sati,fied that he had at first given the full
amount hesitated to comply with the demands of the
prisoner, but eventually he gave the man another Pit'
pence, and the whole party went on. On the following
day the same " dodge' was tried again, but feeling poi'
tive that it was the same person that he gave the six.
pence to the day before he called a policeman and pre
the prisoner into custody.
The magistrate, after cautioning the prisoner, said the
solicitors to the bridge company thought that the punieb:
ment he had already undergone (a week's imprisonment/
was sufficient ; but if he came there again under the
Lune circumstances he would not get off so lightly.
PICKING POCKETS IN THE PARK.—A boy about 10
years of age was placed at the bar, charged with picking
pockets in St. James's-park.
Police-constable 126 A statedlhe saw the prisoner Pot
his hand into the gentleman's pocket ; in fact, he caught
the hand of the boy in the pocket, and called the ger
tleman's attention to the fact.
The gentleman was not in attendance.
The magistrate told the boy for six weeks he should
have a little harder work than picking pockets to per
form ; in addition to which he should have "012°f'
commons."
He was committed to prison for six weskit, with bid
labour.
