CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.)

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
A PART YOUNG DRAPER.

John Carter, 27 years of age, and described In the
calendar as a draper's as ,istant, was indicted for steal-
ing moneys, the property of his employers, Messrs.
Venables, drapers, Whitechapel.
Mr. Robinson prosecuted, and Mr. Sleigh defended
the prisoner.
The prisoner had been in the prosecutor's employ-
ment about five months, during which time they
had cause to suspect him, and he was watched. On
serving a customer it was his duty to make out a bill
on the duplicate system adopted by the drapery trade, and
take them both to the cashier, who returns them to him,
one stamped to be given to the customer, and the other
retained by the prisoner as a check on the amount of
receipts entered against him. On the 6th February,
the prisoner took a duplicate bill to the cashier, made
out in the name of Mrs. Cummings for is. 9.1. and altered
the one he handed to Mrs. Cummings to Bs. 9d., the
amount of the articles she had purchased. Several such
instances had occurreel, and the prosecutors gave him
into custody on these charges.
The case being clearly proved against the prisoner,
Mr. Sleigh said he could not resist the charge, and he had
advised him to retract his plea of not guilty and plead
guilty.
The prisoner accordingly pleaded guilty.
There were t►ao other indictments against the prisoner,
one for stealing and the other for embezzling, to which
the prisoner pleaded guilty.
Mr. Sleigh addressed a few words to the Rec.-rder in
mitigation of punishment, urging, what the learned
counsel termed the prisoner's youth, which bad caused
him to fall into temptation and lead a rather reckless
life.

Mr. Robinson, on the part of the prosecutors, re-
marked they bad no desire to appear vindictive. The
prisoner came to them from the country, with a charac-
ter, a comparative stranger, but that during the time he
had been in their employ .he must have commenced a
systematic course of plunder, for in addition to the
money cases they bad discovered against him, his boxes
when searched were found to contain numerous articles,
the property of his employers. There was no doubt the
prisoner had been living a reckless life, for he had been
frequen ly seen driving tandem about the parks.
The Learned Recorder said the prisoner had syste-
matically plundered his employers. He,sentenced him
to four years' penal servitude.

The Court was occupis,l the remainder of the day in
disposing of cases presenting no features of general
interest.

SECOND COURT.
(Before the Common Scrjeant.)
The Court was occupied the whole of the day in dis-
posing of cases of uttering base coin. They were of the
usual character, and devoid of pints of pubic interest,
except in the case of William Sage, an old offender,
who was sentenced to eight years' penal servitude.
