SURREY

'April 22

was at the Surrey Canal Tavern in plain clothes, and
saw the prisoner there in company with several other
thieves. Having no,dogkt that he was dressed for the
Purp ,se of cominittingraberies, he watchel hitir nar-
rowly. He saw him put his hand into the pockets of
two ladies, but finding from inquiries that they had no-
thing in their pockets to be robbed of, he did not then
take him, but Paw him follow the prosecutor into the
tav,rn. Immediately after wanes:, saw him put his arms
round Mr. Hunt, and then endeavour to make his way
from him. He was followed by the prosecutor, who
„laid hold of him, and gave him over to his (witness's
custody. Witness did not find the watch on him. Pri-
soner had an opportunity of getting rid of it before lie
was taken, for he passed by several of his companions.
The prisoner denied the charge, and was fully corn-
mitted
fur trial.

. IITAVV *COUR
(48ekre J, E. Johnson, ERq., and a Bench of Magistrates.)
ROBBERY BY A HOUSEKEEPER.

Mary Howard, 30, was indicted for stealing the sum
of 3151. in gold, the money of Anthony Malony, her
master.

Mr. Robinson prosecuted, and Mr. Thompson defended
the prisoner.
Tue prosecutor stated that he resided at 8, Nelson-
square, Bermondsey, and on the death of his wife, about
six months ago, be engaged the prisoner as his servant to
lu k alter the house and attend upon himself and chil-
dren. Witness bad fur many years saved money from ,
the heard earnings of him-elf and late wife, which he
deposited in a box in his bed-room. On the night of
Tuesday, the 25th ult., he hart in the box 3151. in sove-
reigns and half-sovereigns, and on the following night,
when he went to bed, he saw it all apparently sate. He
then went out to his business, and ou his return home,
about ten o'clock, he was surprised at finding that the
prisoner had suddenly left the house with her cloth-
in_'. He immediately went to his bed-room and perceived
that his box had been broken open and robbed of all the
contents. Re directly went and informed the police,
and on Thursday morning he sent his children to diffe
rent railway,, while he proceeded to others. Fortunately
the pHs ner was captured in a railway carriage at Bus-
tou,qua, -, just as the train was about to start for
Birmingham.

Police-constable 376 $ said he apprehended the pri•
sorer, an i took her to -the Bermondsey station, when
hhe admitted taking the money. He handed her over
to I e female srareher.

Etiztt Dover, -earcher at the Bermondsey station, said
she found on the prisoner 12 sovereigns, five hall-sove-
reigns, and 1/. 154. 9d. in silver and copper money. She
had a great quantity of gold coin also in her posses ion,
which ,be handed over to Serjeant Reid, the acting in-
spector on duty.

The latter officer said he counted the gold, and found
179 ~,v ei wpm and 162 half sovereigns, wa,ing altogether
2761. 5-. 9d. found in the prisoner's pusses-don.
.14110 Maloney, daughter of the prosecutor, said she
went to the North-Western railway station, Easton-
square, on Thursday morning, and saw the prisoner
sitting in one of the carriages about to start for Birming-
ham. She had her luggage with her, and bad purchased
her ticket. Witness went and called the constal,le, and
gave her into custody for robbing her father of about
3001.

Mr. Thempon, after hearing all the evidence, said it
would be useless to struggle against it, therefore he
should advise the prisoner to withdraw her plea of not
guilty, and plead guilty.
The prisoner accordingly pleaded guilty, and it being
her first offence, the chairman sentenced ber to three
months' hard labour in the Wandsworth House of Cor-
rection.

WAR DEPARTMENT, APRIL 22.
Lord Pininure has this tt,ty received two despatches and
their enclosures, of which the following are copies, ad-
dressed to his lordship by General Sir William Cudiington,

Sebastopol, April 7,
My Lord,—The Stromboli returned this morning with
Dr Mclllree from Redout Kale.
The letter from Prince Beboutoff, at Tiflis, of which a
copy is herewith transmitted, shows that General Williams
had recovered his health, and had been forwarded to Ria-
zan, near Moscow; and that, consequently, it was not ne-
cessary for Dr. Mclllree to go to Tiflis, nor do the Russians
seem to have wished that he should pass their lines. Tour
Lordship will see that the armistice had been established
in Asia.

Dr. Mclllree accordingly returned, bringing me letters
from A bdil Pasha, who was in temporary command of the
Turkish troops during the absence of Omar Pasha.
The service for which Dr. .dclllree was selected would
probably have exposed him to a difficult if not a danger-
ous journey at this time of year, across mountain passes,
and amongst such a population; his mission would have
required circumspection and activity, and I beg to
bring his name to your lordship's notice from his service at
Scutari, and his selection by Sir J. Hall for the duty on
which he had been ordered.- I have, &c.,
W. J. CODRINGTON, General Commanding.
The Lord Panmure, &c.
