too, the property in the immediate locality must, in
consequence of the existence of this place, be depre.

Inspector Brennan here said that, since he had been
in court that day, he had been informed that as many as
from six to ten robberies in a day had teen committed in
this court.

The Learned JUDGE inquired how it had happened
that the man who had taken the earring—for the woman
had only taken the scimors—had not been apprehended?
The policeman replied that the man had made his es-
cape by running olf.
Another policeman said that the man was at that mo-
ment is court.
The Learned JuDGE ordered the man to be at once
taken into custody.
This order was, much to the astonishment of the man,
instantly put into operation.
The Learned Juixm then sentenced the woman to six
months' imprisonment, and directed that the man whom
he had ordered into custody should be taken before the
magistrate at the police-court in the district where the
robbery had been committed.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STREE7I

Mr. John Chapman, the well-known bookseller and
publisher, 142, Strand, appeared before Mr. Jardine
upon a summons in which he was charged with having
unlawfully neglected to leave with the authorities of the
British Museum a capy of a certain book a month after
publication. _ _

- Mr. Bodkin attended to prefer the complaint.
Mr. Richard Edmonds, clerk to the solicitors of the
Museum, stated that on the 24th June ho purchased a
work entitled "An Historical Analytis of Christian
Civilization," by Profcssor De Verecour, at the defen-
dant's Chop, and it purported to have been published by
him.

In answer to the charge the &fondant said he had
heard nothing of the circumstance until he received the
commons, 2nd ho would have readily complied with the
provisions of the Act under which it was issued bad not
the list of books uiudly sent by him to the Museum
been lost.

Mr. Antonio Pinazzi, keeper of the printed books at
the Museum, proved that a copy of the work produced
had never been transmitted to. the establishment.
Mr. Bodkin said the trustees were under the painful
necessity of taking proceedings against a highly-re-
spectable publisher in consequence of the neglect of
others in failing to deliver in a copy of every now work,
particulatly as there seemed to be au impression among
the trade that the authorities were bound to send for it,
which wee never intended by any clause in the Copy-
eight-Act.
The defendant assured the Court that his elotk had
directions to send a copy of every new work•in the usual
way, which he thought lind been done ; and it was • not
Until a person called from the Museum to inform him
.of the emission that he disewercd the book had been
lost.

Mr. Picazzi said that no person had been authorized
to call; but in courtef-y a hitter halbeen sent, of which
no notice was taken, aud it was ant the only instance
of neglect on the par: of the defendant ; besides, any
person
.delivering a copy/weus entitled by law to get a
receipt. •

Mr-. Bodkin said the trustees were not anxious to
press for penalties ; but there were expenses necessarily
incurred, and if they were paid the ends of justice
would be sufficiently answered.
Mr. JARDINE considered-the fact had been satisfac-
torily made out, and ordered the defendant to play a
penalty of 95., the prig° of the book, the coats, and a
nominal fine' of Is., amounting to 3/. 15s.
The defendant gate a cheque for the amount, and ho
was discharged.
