MANSION-HOUSE.

Three men named Boreham, Nunn, mad Chalk,
were brought before Sir R. Carden, this morning,
at the Mansion-house, charged with having unlaw-
fully in their possession two trusses of hay, a sack of
black oats, and half a sack of white oats. It appeared
that the prisoner Boreham was the possessor of a
horse and cart, and resided at Ronaford, in Essex. Last
evening, according to the evidence of the police-
constable on duty in Pull Wharf-lane, he noticed
something suspicious in the movements of the two
men, who were with Boreham's cart outside the
stable-yard of Mr. Morgan, the wholesale stationer,
in Cannon-street. On searching the cart the hay
and oats were discovered. The two men were
taken to the station-house, and Boreham was sub-
sequently taken into custody. Other evidence
was given to the effect that the prisoner Nunu had
put a portion of the property on the side of the cart.
Wm. Redgrove, a carman, aged 27, said that he
worked for Alderman Rose, and that last night he
saw Boreham's cart backed into Morgan's yard ; he
subsequently went along Cloak-lane, and when he
came back fie saw the policeman taking the cart
away. He said he would have it unloaded. He
then saw what has been already described. He did
not know whose hay it was.
Mr. Morgan said he could identify the trusses,
because the hay was cut in his own grounds, and
the trusses wsre longer than usual. Ilis groom
managed the stable, and generally met him of a
morning, but as he did not do so this morning he
went round to the stable, and found the groom had
left his lodgings and gone off. lle had been with
him two years. He did not know anything of the
oats.

The Inspector of Police said that if Boreham was
remanded he could obtain the evidence of Alder-
man Rose's stable man as to the oats.
Sir R. Carden said that he should deal in the case
of Chalk and Nunn as being guilty of unlawful
possession, and should sentence them to 21 days'
hard labour. Boreha,ul he should remand till to-
morrow.
Mr. Beard defended Boreham.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY BY A YOUNG
WOMAN.—Elizabeth Aldridge, a young woman
apparently about 20 years of age, was charged before
Mr. Knox with the following ingenious robbery of
marked money, from the till of her employer, Mr.
Robert Pool, of the Clarendon, No. 162, Oxford-
street.

Mr. Pool said—The prisoner was in his service as
housemaid. For some time past I have been mis-
sing money from my till, and, in consequence, made
arrangements for the detection of the thief, and
marked some money which I placed in the till, and
this morning I was called down, the prisoner being
caught in the act, when she asked me to forgive her,
saying that she was very sorry and would not do it
again.
The marked money was produced.
The prisoner had no questions to ask, but merely
shook her head. .

Police-constable A, plain clothes officer of the D
division, said—This morning at five o'clock I was
let into the prosecutor's house by the prosecutor, and
was concealed in a back room, there being another
room between the room I was in and the bar. At
a quarter past six o'clock I heard a noise as of the
falling of some heavy body on to the floor, and
about five minutes afterwards I heard the room door
open, and, on looking through the keyhole of the
room I was in, I saw the prisoner pass from the
room in front of me into the bar. I waited three
or four minutes, and seeing her coming out of the
bar into the other room, I opened the door and
confronted her, when she said, " Oh, my God ! for-
give me, its the first time I have done anything
wrong. Pray do not call Mr. Pool down," and she
then fell on her knees and• remained kneeling till
Mr. Pool came down. I told her to put what she
had in her pocket on the table, and she did so, and
amongst the things there was the marked money
which she had taken that morning.
Mr. Knox—How did the young woman get into
your house, Mr. Pool ?
Mr. Pool—l had a pretty good character with her
from a coffee-shop at Knightsbridge. I began
missing money a week ago, and have missed it four
or five mornings since.

Mr. Knox—You have other persons in your em-
ploy ?

Mr. Pool—Yes, a barmaid and pitman.
King—And suspicion was thrown on the latter
through the prisoner. The prisoner, to get to the
place, had to drop over the balusters a distance of
about I Of t.
The prisoner pleaded guilty.

Mr. Knox—The prisoner's offence is a particularly
bad one, as she has not only robbed her master but
caused suspicion to be thrown on innocent persons.
It is a grievous offence, and in dealing with the case
I shall commit the prisoner for six months with hard
labour.
