THE P,RESERV.ATION OF THE DEAD.

(Befoi -e Mr. Payne.)
PICKING POCK ETS-A LUCKY ESCAPE.

The process patented by, M. Falcony, a French
(k2mist, for embalming and preserving dead bodies,
though it_has for several years been in use in some
of the principal cities on the continent, has but re-
cently been introduced into this country, and even
yet it is little known, if at all, beyond the limits of
the medical profession. It is probable, however,
that the highly successful result of an experiment
which took place yesterday at the Grosvenor School
of Medicine will not only establish its efficiency
among the medical authorities of London, but will
lead to its general use throughont the country. The
preparations of M. Falcony are of two kinds—one,
a fluid, intended to preserve the body from decay
for an indefinite period, and the other a powder,
designed to prevent decomposition for a consider-
able time, or to arrest active putrefaction if it have
already commenced. Both processes were subjected
to an examination yesterday, but it was to the
latter, as being of greater importance and utility
than the other, that attention was chiefly, directed.
The subject of the experiment was the body of a
man who died of erysipelas on the 21st Sept. It
was taken to the school on the 24th in an advanced
stage of putrefaction, the head and face being
greatly swollen and discoloured. The trunk
was also much decayei, and it was pro-
ndunced by Dr. Halford, the lecturer on
anatomy, to be totally unfit for dissection. On the
following day, the 25th, M. Falcony commenced his
operations, which were conducted in the presence
of several gentlemen of considerable professional
eminence. He covered the bottom of the coffin
with his powder to the depth of about three inches
—on this the body was placed, and then covered
over with the powder mixed with sawdust. as a
vehicle. In about 10 minutes not a trace of the
offensive smell'remained, and when the body was
uncovered yesterday, after a lapse of between three
and four weeks, it was found to be in the same con-
dition as when it was put into the hands of M. Fal-
cony. The powder had arrested the putrefaction and
none of those present were sensible ofany unpleasant
odour. A hand, into which a small quantity of the
fluid intended for the permanent preservation of the
dead had been injected some weeks, was also pro-
duced. The skin still remained white, and no smell
was emitted, although the -hand ba,d been placed in
water and subjected to other conditions favourable
to decomposition. Dr. Halford congratulated M.
Falcony on the successful result of his experiment's,
which proved that his invention was of the highest
value, and might be made extremely beneficial in a
sanitary point of view. M. Falcony delivered a
short address in French, in which he referred to the
cordial reception he had met with in England, and
expatiated upon the advantages which his discovery
was calculated to confer on mankind—first, by the
prevention of those innumerable contagious diseases
which result from the miasmata emitted from dead
bodies in certain cases ; secondly, by preserving the
remains of deceased persons for the inspection of
friends and relatives residing at a distance ; and,
thirdly, by subserving the purposes of justice in
cases of suspected poisoning. He did not pretend,
he said, to have brought this-interesting department
of chymical science to perfection ; what he haddone
would be surpassed by others, but it fact frayer le
cliernin, and in the meantime we ought to avail
ourselves of the advantages which society might
derive from his stuaies.

Ann Moses and Eliza 'homson were indicted for picking
the pocket of Mrs. Pntnant.

From the evidence it aripeared that the prisoners entered
the shop of the pro'secittrix and asked to be served
with some plums. Mrs. Putnam measured the fruit,
and then the prosecutrix, by accident, put her hand
into her pocket, and missed her purse, which she had
but a few minutes before. placed there. She told
the prisoners she had last her purse, but they said, " Oh,
you'll soon find it." They then quitted the shop, but feel-
ing certain that they kirpw-, something of the robbery, she
sent the errand boy after. them, and in a few minutes they
were brought back by a pc,liceman, but upon being searched
nothing was found upon either of them. They. had, how-
ever, during the time betwi -en leaving the shop and being
taken into custody, entered a publichouse called the " Wood-
man," for a short time. Notwithstanding the most rigid
search, the purse wasnot found.

Mr. Payne told the jury that they must, before they
found both prisoners guilty, be of opinion they were acting
in concert. If they were of opinion that the robbery had
beezt committed by one of them only, but they were uncer-
tain which, the safest way would be to acquit the prisoners.
The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
The prisoners were then indicted for stealing a purse, the
property of Mrs. Brown, in Portland-place.
The prosocutrix said the prisoners came up to her as she
was passing along Portland-place. Thompson asked her if
she knew where she could find an eye doctor. During the
time she was talking to the prisoner she supposed they
robbed her. She was informed by the police that two women
were in custody for picking pockets, and on seeing them she
identified them as the persons she he had spoken to in
Portland-place. .It was 20 minutes after the prisoners left
her that the purse was missed. She was sure the women
_
were the same.

The Clerk—Are you agreed, gentlemen, as to your
verdict

Foreman of the Jury—Yes, we find the prisoners at the
bar "Not -guilty, and are very sorry for it.? (Laughter)
Mr. Payne—l never find f.a,ult with the verdict of a jury,
but I cannot understand how 7ou could come to such a
verdict.

Foreman of the Juiy—We are very sorry. We think
they are thieves—they km, like it—(laughter)—but we
could not find them guilty. There was nothing Clear.
(Laughter.)

Mr. Payne—The result of the verdict is, that two very
clever thieves are let loose again in London.

Foreman—We know it, my lord. (Laughter.) We are
sorry we could not find them guilty.
Mr. Payne—lt appears that Thompson has been out of
gaol but a short time.

The Foreman of the Jury—We very much regret we
could not find them guilty. We have no doubt about their
being thieves, but we could not clearly bring the present
offense home to them.

Mr. Payne (addressing the prisoners)—You've had a
very lucky escape. I hope it will be a warning to you, but
I'am afraid you'll both soon be here again.
Prisoners—Oh no, your Worship; you'll never see us
again after this.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day).

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CASH Box ROBBERY BY ERRAND BOYS. Charles
Stacey, 16, William Follett, 14, and Robert Irwen, 16,
time errand boys in the erx►ploy of Mr. Walter Bullock,
tin-plate worker, of 15, Rupert-street, wore charged as
follows :

There were present on the occasion Dr. Halford,
Dr. Harley, Dr. Richardson, Dr. O'Connor, Dr.
Thudieman, Dr. Luther Holden, Mr. Spencer
Wells, Mr. Pittard, officer of health for Chelsea ;
Count Arrowbene, M. Romani, Mr. Banting,
upholsterer, of St. James's-street, Mr. Lawton, &c.

The prosecutor said that for some months past he had
lost various sums of money from his cash-box, and although
he had tried every means to detect the thief, he had failed
to do so. Yesterday morning, having missed 75., last night
he marked one half-crown,. one two-shilling piece, two
shillings, and eight sixpences, and put them in the box and
locked the drawer in which the box was deposited. This
morning, in consequence of what his son told him, he went
to the drawer, which was still locked, and on opening it and
looking at the cash-box, ho missed one shilling and two
sixpences. He then taxed the prisoners with having taken
the money, but they denied having done so. He then sent
for a constable; who on searching them found on Stacey a
marked shilling, and on each of the others a sixpence. Ho
had frequently found a difficulty in getting the key into
the lock, as if some one had been tampering with it.
Walter Bullock, son of last witness, proved seeing his
father mark the money, and keeping a watch that morning,
and when no others were present but the prisoners, hearing
the cash-box rattle, and then informing his father.
Serge.ant Walker, 15 C, said, on searching the prisoners,
he also found, besides some of the marked money deposed
to, a set of dice on Stacey, and another set on Irwen.
The prisoners denied they had taken the money.
The prosecutor said he had treated them all with great
kindness.

Mr. Beadon said he should send them for trial, but at
present should remand thein.

THAMES.

ROBBING A POOR WOMAN OP IIDR GOLD.—Mary
Keefe, an Irish girl, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged
with stealing two sovereigns.

The prosecutrix in this case is a poor and industrious
Irishwoman named Ellen Keefe, no relation to the prisoner,
and residing at No. 68, Lambeth-street, Whitechapel.
The prisoner was destitute, and Mrs. Keefe, with
that generosity so characteristic of the Irish people, took
pity upon her, invited her to. her ;house "to take the bite
and the sup," and found her some needlework. On Mon-
day night the prosecutrix had two sovereigns in the house,
which she placed in the pocket of her gown, and hung it
up on a nail in her bed-room. The prisoner slept in the
same room. Yesterday morning Mrs. Keefe missed her
gold, which she described as two bright yellow sovereigns,
which she had saved for many a long day. The woman
first suspected her husband, who is a dock labourer, and
accused him with stealing her money. He vehemently
protested his innocence, and the woman then accused the
prisoner with haling stolen her "bright gold," and a
police-constable, named Hall, 127 H, was called in. The
prisoner declared she had not stolen the money, and asked
the policeman to send for the high priest, that she
might take an oath that she was not the thief. She was
conveyed to the station-house and searched by Mrs. Brad-
ley, female searcher, who found a sovereign in each of her
boots. Before they were discovered she declared, in the
most solemn manner, that she had never seen the money.
After Mrs. Bradley had taken the sovereigns from her, she
asked her to overlook it and keep the money.
The prisoner, on being called -upon for her defence, in a
whining tone said, " I know nothing about it, sir; I say
nothing."

Mr. Selfe—How do you account for the two sovereigns
found in your boots ?
-

The prisoner—I have nothing to say about it.
Mr. Selfe—Do you plead guilty or not, guilty, or do you
prefer being sent for trial 1'

The prisoner—l have got no father or mother, and no
one to direct me, sir. I was never here before, and don't
know what all this means.

Mr. Selfe—Then you say you are not guilty ?
The prisoner—To be sure I am.
Mr. Selfe--Then you are committed for trial.
