POLICE 11VTELL1GENCE.-7his Day

WES T.IIINSI Ell.
PAWNBROKERS AND TILE Pooit.—A very respectable-
looking woman came before the magistrate this morning
for redress under the following circumstances :
She said that she wished to know whether a pawn-
broker was not liable for damage to property left in his
possession. A few months ago she had necessity to pawn
a good carpet for 10s. at Mr.Weekes', Cheyne-walk, Chel-
sea, and when she went for it, at the close of last week,
she found a large hole right through many thicknesses
of it.

Mr. Selfe—Was it done by a moth ?
Applicant—No, yoar worship, by a rat. The hole is
too big a great deal for a moth. When I pointed it out to
the pawnbroker he refused to give me any redress, and
when I told him that I should go to a nitgistrate, he said
be did not care a for a magistrate.
Mr. Selfe—l am afraid you have no redress.

Applicant—l paid him 125., including the interest for
the carpet, which is not worth 4s. now. It was a new
carpet, and cost me a good deal of money.
Mr. Selfe— I would grant you a summons, but you
would in all probability lose your causo and the costs. I
should be sorry for you to throw your money away as an
additional loss to what you have already sustained.
Applicant—Ain't ho liable for the thump to my pro-
perty ?
Mr. Sulfa—ln order to sustain your complaint it would
be necessary to prove neglect on the part of the pawn-
broker, and I cannot see how you are to do that.
Applicant produced the carpet with a large hole through
the folds, which she said perforated four places. The
pawnbroker pretended it must have boon in that state
when ho took it in, which was absurd, as he opened it
widely and looked at it before ho received it.
•

Mr. Selfe repeated that it would be uukiud to grant her
a summons, as she would be unable to sustain her com-
plaint..

T HAMES.

A PICKPOCKET ON A RAILWAY.—John Gallagher, aged
29, was brought up, on remand, bofore Mr. Paget, charged
with stealing a purse containing 12s. 6d. from Miss Sarah
Nott, a widow lady, on the platform of the Bow railway
station.

A few days since, at half-past 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
Mrs. Nott was about to enter a railway carriage, after a
stoppage and a change of carriages at Bow, when she felt
a pressure upon her, and saw the prisoner's hand being
withdrawn from her pocket. She turned round and
saw him with her bag, which she was opening. She said
You have your hand in my bag , give it me." He said
sho was mistaken, and entered a carriage of the train which
was about to depart. An alarm was raised, and Mr. Abra-
ham liable, the station-master, took him out of the car-
riage and gave him into custody. Mrs. Nott also stated
that her money, 12s. 6d., was safe in her bag between
Stepney and Bow. The prisoner told Mr. Noble he came
from Fenchurch-street by the previous train, which dis-
charged its passengers at Bow. He bad not been travel-
ling on the line at•all, and had no ticket in his possession.
The police-constable who had charge of the case said
the prisoner had given a fictitious address, and had been
visited in pr►son by detectives, who had failed to recognise
him.

Iloche, the gaoler of the court, however, stated•that the
prisoner had passed through his hands before, and had been
convicted of felony.

Mr. Faget said he should like to know something more
about the prisoner before he finally disposed of the case,
and remanded him for a week.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

FENIAN REVENGE.—Martin Kennedy, a rough-looking
fellow, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting
David Jones, living in Crown-court, Soho.
The complainant said that on Saturday night he was
standing at the corner of Pulteney-street talking to a
friend when the prisoner came up to him and knocked him
down, and rendered him insensible, his head coming
against the kerb, and being cut. He was afterwards taken
to the station and a doctor sent for and his head dressed.

ha answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the complainant said that
he had triven the prisoner no provocation.
Frederick Nesbit and James Geozagn gave similar
evidence.

Mr. Tyrwhitt sentenced the prisoner to find bail in .£lO
or two months.
