THAMES.

A SIMPLE JEW.—Annie Murphy, 811 Irish servant girl,
was charged with stealing £lO in gold and silver, the mo-
neys of Samuel Cohen, a Jew dwelling at 28, Great Pres-
cott-street, W hitechapel. The prosecutor, a man of very
primitive habits, is a tailor, and he had been in the
practice for some time past of depositing his money
in a common tin box with a slit in it. This box
was nailed to the wall at the foot of his bedstead,
and he broke it open at the end of every quarter
when he wanted the cash to pay his rent and taxes. On
Tuesday morning last when Mr. Cohen deposited the last
coin in the box it was safe and perfect, and he knew there
was a little over £lO in it
in gold, silver, and pence. Yes-
terday afternoon, just before dinner time , and while the
prisoner, who had been for a week only in the service of
Mr. Cohen, her mistress heard something drop and roll
across the floor. Mrs. Cohen looked about, and found
a sovereign on the floor. She spoke to her husband,
who said that he had lost no money. Mrs.
Cohen immediately rushed upstairs to her bed-room, her
worst fears were realised,
the money-box had been tam-
pored with, the bottom forced out, and the money ab-
stracted. She called out to her husband our money is
gone, the cash-boi is broken open. Mr. Cohen imme-
diately seized the girl, who had her hand in her bosom
thrusting something down it. He said Annie, " You had
hotter give up the money," and. she took from her bosom a
purse containing .C 6 2s. 8,1. in gold and silver. They had
been hoarding the money to pay the last quarter's rent
and taxes.

Mr. Paget advisad Cohen to board his money in a safer
placo in future, and committed the pr:sonor for trial.

ing young woman, was charged with unlawfully possess-
ing a silver table-spoon, and not giving a satisfactory ac-
count of the possession of the same.

the pawutroker, in the Brompton-road,

not live there, and on making inquires at the yolk& station
went and took the prisoner to the station. She said she
found the spoon at Warwick-road, Kensington, in the
morning, and did not intend to do anything wrong.
Mr. Self() said prisoner ought to know perfectly well
that the spoon was not her property. Ho remanded her
for a week, and required respectable surety in £5 for her
appearance.
