Alderman Rose, in cross-examination, said that
he had received a lotto. r from the prisoner, stating
that as he should be ent raged for a few days, he had
thought it better to han d the books and keys over
to Mr. Jeffery; but that was after the warrant had
been granted.
Mr. Sleigh attempted t 0 show that a considerable
sum of money was owing to the prisoner.
Sir R. Carden said tht A , even if it were so he had
no right to appropriate a ny moneys which he had
received to his own use.
Mr. Sleigh (to Alderm an Rose)—l believe that
in the letter which he sei it you he stated that he
was prepared to adjust h is accounts, and if then
were any errors, through the hurry and bustle of
business, it was quite wit L tout any guilty intention
on his part ?
Alderman Rose—Yes, he did.
Mr. Sleigh—And did yoi t then take any ateps to
stop these proceedings ?
; Alderman Rose—Not at aa

Mr. Humphreys said he ha d not been able to com-
plete the cases which he had. before mentioned ,• but
if the prisoner were again revnanded he should be
able to bring at least fifty additional cases against
him.

The prisoner was then rigain roman ded, a slight
reduction being made in the amount of his bail.

with stealing four brass plates value, together,
L 8 ss. _ _

Edward Stewart Hart, hosier , King William-
street, said, about half-past ten Monday night
he heard a curious sort of " click," which he at once
knew as proceeding from tlie hr ass plate just out-
side the shop windows. Ille !rnmediately ran out
and saw the prisoner in the private doorway in the
act of covering a long bask :et up with a piece of
green baize. Witness said " Hallo, what have you
got there ? take that piece ( a baize off and let's see."
The prisoner said, " Oh, is any on 'em yourn ?"
Witness said, " Yes, I ra Ither think they are ;"
and the prisoner immediately ran off. He
was pursued and caught by the collar, when
he said, " Let me go ; I'll walk along very
quietly ;" but in crossing tl ie road he attempted to
push witness under the wh eels of a passing omni-
bus, and it was with greatt difficulty that he was
brought back to the shop • On looking into the
basket, the two plates, valu:e £5, which were safely
fixed in front of the shop a few minutes before,
were found, together with two others.
Edward Halston, shopm an to Mr. M'Grath, boot-
maker, King William-street, identified one of the
plates produced as the property of his master. It
was missed about eight o'clock at night. The
value was £2.
Thomas Buck identified the other plate as hie
property. He missed it about eight o'clock.
Police-constable 528 said he took the prisoner
into custody and went to the address given by him,
and found that he had not slept there since Christ-
mas. He was accustomed to go out with a basket
similar to the one produced.
The prisoner said as he was coming along King
William-street he observed a basket in a doorway
v.nd he was only going to have a look at what was
in it, when the gemman came up and catched him
137 the collar. He was as hinnocent as a hunborn
babe.
Mr. Alderman Abbiss said he must try to con-
vin a jury of that.
Committed for trial.

V-ORSHIP-STREET.—William Winning, 21,
was charged before Mr. Mansfield with assaulting
Charlotte, his wife.

The complainant, a pretty-looking young crefA-
ture, said—l live in Gibraltar-walk, work at silk
trimming, and my husband is employed at Billings-
gate ; on Monday night he struck me and. used
threats.
Mr. Mansfield—Did he hurt you much ?
Wife—Not a great deal last night.
Mr. Mansfield—How long have you bees
wedded ?

Wife—A fortnight to-morrow.
Mr. Mansfield—A fortnight—how long have you
known him ?

Wife—Between four and five years.
Mr. Mansfield—Has he ever knocked you about
before this.

Wife—Oh yes, he used to beat me before our mar-
riage, that was because I refused to have him ; he
promised not to do so afterwards and I believed him,
but he does.

Mr. Mansfield—Well, yours is a most extraordi-
nary marriage ; it would seem that you rather liked
this treatment. What am Ito do with him ?

Wife—Bind him over to keep the peace, that's all.
Defendant, who denied the assault, was bound in
his own recognisances of £25 for six months.

per 100 lb. dearer than last week. Flour in more request.
Indian corn still moves slowly without change in value.
