LONDON, SATURDAY

I have bought several other watches with enamelled
faces from Mr. iladollet, but not at so high a price. I
believe the movements prailueed to belong to the watch,
from the finish of the works and from the number on the
movements.
The depositions of Solomon beetle, as given on
Teursday, were heee, road over Ly Geed-male, the
chief clerk, and the witness stated, in eross-exaliioation
by L'lr. Parry, as fellows•—l was einnteoned before the
Lied Mayor by the prisoner for the value of the cases
which I had lost. I had not defied him before Gilt. I
was ordered by the Lord Mayor to pay 31. to the pri-
&ones', end 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 from
his conduct; Ile 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 not 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 brother.
Mr. Parry—Did you hear your brother say so ?
Witness—l did not hear him say so, nal did not say so
myself. lam not asare that he said no. I did not
send my brother with any written paper to the prisoner.
The name of " Badollet" was on the watch. I did not
give the prisoner in charge. lam a disinterested party.
Mr. Parry—l ask you whether your brother was the
person who gave the prisoner into custody.
Finnis (the officer)—Mr. Vinden is the person who
gave the prisoner into custody?
Mr. Parry suggested the propriety of calling and
examining Solomon Isaac's brother, who, he had been
given to understand, stated, on the day the summons
was heard, that the watch had been stolen at Epsom.
The brother of Solomon Isaacs hive presented him-
self, and expressed a wish to be examined. He de•
clued that he was perfectly ready to state all that had
come to his knowledge upon the subject.
The LORD MAYOR said he recollected that upon the
hearing of the summons somebody it court said some-
thing about the watch having been stolen at Epsom, but
there was no distinct statement made.
Isaacs's brother was not called as t witness either for
the prosecution or the defence.
Mr. Parry, on the part of the deface, 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 could not appear before a
tribunal in which greater facilities abounded for the de-
tection of offences than a coact which was presided over
by a magistrate of so much skill and experience. It
was, therefore, very improbable that 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. The man
at the bar was, as could be shown,
a Person of blameless
and 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 es elements of self-condem-
nation.
The LORD MAYOR—It is my determination to send
this case before a jury, but I am willing to accept bail.
I shall, therefore, require the prisoners own surety in
Sal., and two sureties in 401, each, for his appearance at
the next session of the Central Criminal Court, to answer
this charge.
MARLBOROUGH-STREE

Etheldred Bennett was brought up for final examina-
tion, charged with having robbed his employers, Messrs.
Ablott 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 of re-
ceiving an anonymous letter, suspicions were raised re-
specting the prisoner's honesty. On the 13th instant e
[naked about 121. in gold and silver money, and placed
it in the till. Arrangement.% wero.alae made that certain
parties should comelfito the shop and make purchases
paying for the goods in marked monty. About seven
o'clock the semis evening the books were eat twined, and
an amount of Ils. 6d., paid by a person named Wheat-
ley, was ascertained not to have been entered. The
prisoner was asked to produce the money he had about
him. The prisoney, turned out his packets, and a half-
sovereign and a shilling, Marked money, were found in
his possession. He was then accused of robbing the
firm, on which he repeatedly said, 6, For God's sake
forgive me, and I will give you all I have." Tho pri-
soner was in the receipt of 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 fur
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. Ho bought goods which
came to 1 Is. 61, 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 at 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 of about leot, had
been living at the rate of 6001. a year at
least, and no doubt at his employer's
exPensa. The
prisoner's house in the Acacia-road was very handsomely
furnished. His cellar was well stocked with wine,
amongst
which were three dozen of claret and plenty of whiskey
and brandy. There was a quantity of plate, two gold
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. HARDWICK refused the application to deliver up
,he property.

MARYLEBONE.

A pretty-looking girl, named Ellen North, only
twelve years of age, was placed at the bar before Mr.
Broughton, charged with having stolen three rolls of
ribands the property of Messrs.; Spencer and Hall, 76,
Lisson-grove.
Alvey Bendall deposed that on the same afternoon the
prisoner came into the shop and purchased a yard of
riband. She paid for it. and went away, and imme-
diately after he missed three rolls of riband from a
basket which hnd bean placed before her on the counter.
Ile (witness) followed and overtook her in Duke-street,
when the stolen property was found in her possession.
Mr. BROUGUTON—Did she give it up to you when
you stopped her? Witness—She gave use one roll, and
the other two I took from her pocket.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Did she make any observation
when you got possession of the riband? Witness—She
cried, and all that she said was, that she had been de-
coyed away from her home by a woman who lived at
No. 17, Lower William-street, Portland-town; she was
given into the custody of Police-constable 70 D.
Mr. BROUGHI'ON (to the prisoner)—Where does your
mother live? Prisoner—At N 0.14, John-street.
Mr. BanucuTeT—When did the woman decoy you
-away ? Prisoner'—On Tuesday night.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Had you 'ever seen her before?
Prisoner—Yes, Sir, in our street.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Is she an old woman?—She is.
Mr. BitououToN—When she first spoke to you what
did she say? Prisoner—She came in and asked use if I
would live with. her, and I said no; but she pulled me
away from sey mother's door, and took me to her room,
saying that she. would give nee a shilling a day and my
victuals.
Mr. BROUGHTON—WhiIe you were with her did she
introduce you to any gentlemen? Prisoner—She wished
to do so several times, and tried all in her power, but I
would not have any of them introduced to me, for I
knew it was wrong.
The mother, a respectably dressed woman, entered the
court bathed in tears, and said that her daughter's ab-
sence from home had caused her much misery, and she
had no doubt the old woman had taken the child away
for the worst of purposes; she was continually after her.
The prisoner was remanded till Wednesday next, and
the policeman was directed to gain all the information he
could with regard to . the old woman, by whom the
child had, as alleged, been induced to quit her maternal
roof.
The MAGISTRATE wasof opinion that it might turnout,
upon inquiry, which should be necessarily instituted into
the matter, that the case was one which would be looked
upon as coming within the sphere of duty of "the So-
ciety for the Frotection of Young Females," an institu-
tion largely pationised, and which had effected a vast
amount of good.

ARTHUR CONWAY; OR, SCENES IN THE TROPICS.
BY CATTAIN MILSIAN._We can accord this work many
hearty terms of praise. It is not only interesting as a well-
written, lively, exciting work of fiction, but valuable as a
series of sketches of the civilization and progress of the West
Indies, embodying the reminiscences of scenery and cha-
racter preserved by the author during a residence in the
Caribbee islands. But the drama which moves in the tro-
pics does not open there. The curtain rises in England, and
displays scenes of remarkable power and originality, particu-
larly those with the priest, the baronet, and the dying woman
in Sir Walter Conway's house. We are then transported to
the islands of the West Indian Ocean, amid planters, ne-
groes, mulattoes, and the characteristics of such a climate.
West Indian life here begins to be depicted, and it affords
some very curious and eotertaining accounts. The scenes
where the Caribs are introduced are quite original in romance.
