DUBLIN STOCK EXCHANGE.

The London quotations indicating an advance of
L in the value of the funds, a like improvement took
place here in the New Three per Cent. Stock, which
were firm at 95 for money ; there were no deal-
ings in Consols for either money or account. City
lkbentures (deferred) 4 per cent. of £92 Gs. 2d.
changed hands at 82-li, the last rate—closing buyers.
Band Stock and shares were inactive, and there
were no transactions. The same remark applies to
steam shares. There were buyers of Carysfort
Mining Company, short paid, at 10s. 6d., the pre-
vious quotation ; Connorrce were offered at 175.,
the former price, buyers at IGs. 16d. The market

for railway shares was affected by the general
heaviness that prevailed, and comparatively little
business was done. Belfast and Ballymena realised
the previous value, 43—with sellers at the:close.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)

Martin Zuckzyta,66, shoemaker, was indicted for
cutting and wounding Jonas Chaplin, with intent.
Mr. Langford prosecuted; Mr. Sleigh defended.
The prosecutor, a coaldealer, stated that upon the
3d of November he was hating some refreshment at
a beer•shop in the Hackney-road, and was reading
the paper, The prisoner was also at the bar, and
without any quarrel, stabbed the prosecutor in the
chest with a penknife, and left it sticking in the
wound,

For the defence it was shown that the prisoner,
who is a Pole, had always been a very quiet and
inoffensive man, but that since his wife's death his
manners had become strange mid unsettled.
The jury found the prisoner guilty of unlawfully
wounding, and he was sentenced to six months' im-
prisonment. _ _

- Joseph Pomeroy, 40, carpenter, and Elizabeth
Sophia Pomeroy, 40, dressmaker, were indicted for
feloniously making counterfeit sixpences.
Mr. Ellis and Mr. J. P. Doyle prosecuted, and
Mr. W. Cooper and Mr. M'Donnell defended.
It appeared that on Dec. 13 Inspectors Brennan,
Bryant, and other constables, went to 16, Little
Warner-street, Clerkenwell, and in a room upstairs
found the female engaged making bad coin, and all
the different implements used by coiners. The male
prisoner, who is the woman's husband, was taken
into custody at a beer-shop opposite, and when taken
into the room, tried to destroy the things which
the police had taken possession of. The woman said
that he had driven her to do it, and used to beat
her when she did not get enough made for him, and
that he had sent their child to the Colney Hatch
Asylum. The female prisoner had been tried at
Maidstone and suffered, eight months' imprison-
ment for passing bad money, and was also tried
with the male prisoner at this court for coining,
when he was acquitted, the defence then being that
the female made the coin unknown to him, and he
was acquitted.
The defence now set up for the man was that the
female prisoner was a most dissolute character, and
he had upon several occasions turned her from his
home, and had locked her out all night, and that
she, in connection with another woman, named
Clarke, had made the bad coin when her husband
was from home, he at that time being engaged by
his brother, a builder. The male prisoner was at the
time of this occurrence, and previously, chairman of
the anti-strike committee, and corresponding with
the papers and the masters to bring about a settle-
ment of the dispute between them and the workmen.
Evidence to these facts, and also to show that the
man had borne a good character, was given.
To answer to this, Inspector Brennan was called,
and he said that years ago the male prisoner was
under suspicion of having stolen some tools, and he
(Brennan) having occasion then to search the room
occupied by him, found coiner's implements, and
the metal from which bad money was [made, and
upon a subsequent occasion searching a room from
which he had escaped, he also found that coining
had been carried on there.

The female, in her defence, sail that her husband
first taught her to make bad money, and always
knew when she made it.

The jury fouud them both guilty.
Inspector Brennan said that the male prisoner
was one of the worst men he knew. Upon nine
occasions he traced coining implements to his pos-
session. His bad conduct had driven his daughter
mad, and brought the woman by his side to her
present miserable condition.

The Court sentenced the man to ten years' penal
servitude, and respited the judgment on the female,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—Jan. 2.

LAMBETH.—SUSPECTED ROBBERY BY AN EX-
POLICEMAN.—Thomas Townsend, an ex-policeman,
belonging to the M division, and Ann Townsend,
his danghter, were placed at the bar before Mr.
Elliott, on a charge of being concerned in a robbery
at the dwelling-house of Mr. J. R. B. Watson, a
gentleman residing at 2, Pelham-place, Holland-
road, Brixton, and stealing therefrom jewels, prin-
cipally of Indian manufacture, of the value of £l5O.
Mr. Watson deposed that the female prisoner had
been in his service for about six months, and that
on the morning before he left home with Mrs. Wat-
son to spend the day at St. John's-wood, leaving the
prisoner in charge of the house. At about 11 o'clock
he received information that his house had been
robbed, and on reaching home found that the front
bedroom and nursery had been entered apparently
by thieves, and everything in a state of perfect con-
fusion. He found that a wardrobe in the bedroom
had been forced open by a chisel, as well as Mrs
Watson's jewel•case, and all the jewels taken there.
from. They consisted of ear-rings, rings, bracelets,
and other articles, to the amount of £l5O. On
comparing some chisels which he had in a tool-box
in the kitchen, he (Mr. Watson) found them to cor-
respond exactly with the marks on the wardrobe
and other articles forged open, and this circumstance
excited his suspicion. The box of the nurse was
broken open, but that of the prisoner was un-
touched. _

Mr. Ellaby, a solicitor, residing two doors from
Mr. Watson, said that about 7 o'clock on the night
before the male prisoner came to his house and
requested to see him, and on his going to the door
to him, he said that Mr. Watson's house had been
entered by thieves, and asked him to accompany him
there. He did so, and on going up to the street
door he was careful in looking if there were any
marks of dirty feet, as the roads were exceedingls
muddy, but could perceive nothing of the sort. He
also examined the back part of the house to see if
he could discover the traces of footsteps from there,
but could not. The male prisoner told him he had
been asked to come and take care of the house with
his daughter, and had gone there about half-past
five, but did not go in ; that he told his daughter
that he had to go to Kennington to see his
brother, and asked her whether she would go with
him, and she did so ; that they got back as soon as
the bells had done ringing. When they were about
to sit down, he told his daughter that before :doing
so they had better see that all was safe, as he did
not observe her shut the back drawing-room door,
which was then a-jar. That they went over the
house, which they found in confusion. The pri-
soner volunteered to go to the police-station, and
went, he (Mr. Ellaby) stopping in the house with
the female prisoner until he saw a constable going
past, and called him in. He next locked up the
principal rooms, taking the keys with him, and
went home, but subsequently returned with the in-
spector of police. The male prisoner then informed
the inspector and himself that on returning to the
house with his daughter he found a glove on the
hall table, which excited his suspicion, though he
had not uttered a word of this before, but merely
said to his daughter, " Before we sit down, let us
see that all is safe." He (Mr. Ellaby) put some
questions to the female prisoner, and she declared
positively that she had not been out of the house
the whole day, except when she accompanied her
father to see her uncle. The witness went on to
state a number of things which left no doubt what-
ever on his mind that the robbery had been com-
mitted by the prisoners, and them alone; and
amongst other things he said that there was in a
small vessel on the toilet table in the bedroom,
from which• the principal part of the property had
been stolen, a massive ring and some apparently
valuable shirt-studs, and on his expressing his sur-
prise that a practical thief should overlook such an
article as the ring, the female prisoner said," Oh,
it's only brass."

Inspector Molloy, of the P division of police, said
that on the evening before the male prisoner came
to the Brixton station-house, and said that his
daughter was servant at the house of Mr. Watson, a
gentleman in the neighbourhood, and that the house
had been robbed. On questioning him on the sub-
ject, he said that about half-past five he went to
the house, told his daughter he had to go to see
his brother, and asked her if she wished to accom-
pany him there ; that his daughter had pulled
down the blinds and placed a lighted candle in the
hall, and went to her uncle's with him, and that on
their return in about three-quarters of an hour they
found the place in a state of confusion. On hear-
ing what he had to say he (witness) observed that
he did not like the appearance of the thing, when
the prisoner exclaimed, "Well, it has nothing to
do with me—l was not in charge of the house."
The female prisoner made a similar statement to her
father, and said somebody must have entered the
house with a skeleton-key while they were away.
While examining the wardrobe he (witness) ob-
served that it was very strange that only one half.
of it had been forced open, upon which the female
prisoner said of the part that was untouched, " Oh,
that is the place they keep the plate, but they have
taken it with them." He made a similar remark
respecting several boxes bound with brass, and just
the sort of articles that thieves would take for the
depository of plate, jewels, or other valuable pro-
perty-, but which were left untouched, when the
prisoner pointed to one as containing only paper,
another only domino counters, and others only
trifling matters ; and in fact nothing was touched
but the drawers and cases containing valuable
articles. While examining the marks on the fu-
mture Mr. Watson recollected having a small chest
of tools in the kitchen with three Chisels in it of
different sites, and on their being fitted to the

marks made on the furniture, they fitted to a nicety,
and it was also apparent that till three had been
used. The male prisoner was asked himself to fit
the chisels to the different marks, and in doing so
was obliged to admit they fitted to a perfect nicety,
but at the same time said the thieves might have
got to the chest where the chisels were kept, and
taken them for use, as the chest was open. Upon
which he (Inspector Molloy) remarked that in all
his experience he never knew a housebreaker to
bring more than one chisel to effect a robbery, and
that it was something new in the art of house-
breaking for the thieves to find the necessary tools
on the premises, and not only so but replacing
them where they had been found.
The prisoners, who merely denied the robbery,
were remanded for a week.

WESTMINSTER.—FEMALE INTREPIDITY.—A
tall powerful fellow, who gave the name of Charles
White, was charged with felony under the following
circumstances :

Mrs. Sholl, wife of the proprietor of the Crown
Stout and Ale Stores, Exeter-court, Chelsea, said
that between 9 and 10 on the previous night she
had occasion to go up stairs, and found the prisoner
coming out of her bedroom.

Mr.-Bingham—What did you say to him ?
Prosecutrix—l called him a thief, and laid hold
of him by his throat and held him. He said, " Let
mo go," and struggled violently to escape, and we
came down a number of stairs together. I was much
hurt, but I still held him tight till my servant and
other persons came to my assistance. After he was
given in chargeto a policeman I examined the room
and found that he had turned the bed over and
touch disordered the room, and a brooch, with my
husband's likeness in it, had been carried off.

Mr. Bingham—lf all women were like Sou we
should not have so many thieves. You deserve
great credit, indeed.
The police proved finding the missing brooch, a
wax taper, a jemmy, some skeleton keys, and Luci-
fer matches on the prisoner.
Prisoner was remanded for a week.
THE HON. HUGH ROWLEY'S CASE.—Owing to
the sudden, and it is to be feared serious illness
of Mr. Paynter, through which Mr. Bingham, of
Marlborough-street, was called upon yesterday to
preside in his stead, it is very improbable that any
further proceedings in the case of the Hon. Hugh
Rowley will take place at present.

HAMMERSMITH.—CURIOUS CHARGE or As-
SAULTING THE POLICE.—A young man, named
James Farley, was charged before Mr. Ingham under
the following somewhat curious circumstances :

An old man, named William Plummer, said lie
was a housekeeper at Great Grove House, Kensing-
ton. The prisoner had been lodging there, and on
Saturday night he was very obstinate, and would
not go to bed. He was obliged to call in the police
and give him into custody. (Laughter.)
Mr% Ingham inquired of the witness what time he
required his lodgers to go to bed at night.
The witness said twelve o'clock.

Mr. Ingham then asked the witness if the prisoner
was really doing anything when he called in the
police. _ _

- The complainant said he was only obstinate, and
would not go to bed. He wished him to go to bed
or leave the house, and as he refused witness called
in the police. The witness added that the prisoner
was never obstinate before.

Mr. Ingham inquired if the police tried to pul
the prisoner to bed,

Tile complainant replied they did, and he still
refused to go to bed. (Laughter.)
Police-constable Harrison said he was on duty in
High-street, Kensington, about half-past 12 o'clock
on Saturday night, when he was called by the com-
plainant, but he refused to enter unless there was a
disturbance. He was accompanied by another con-
stable, and after waiting a short time they heard a
disturbance and the cries of " Police " by the com-
plainant. They went down stairs into the kitchen,
where they found the prisoner creating a disturb-
ance and swearing. The other lodgers had tried
to get him to bed but he refused, and witness then
put his hand on his shoulder, and also tried to per-
suade him to retire. He then flew at witness and
struck him in the face and was very violent. They
got him up to the top of the stairs, and he then
promised to go to bed. They released him, but he
immediately ran down into the kitchen. They
then took him into custody.
Mr. Ingham said it did not appear that he was
taken into custody for the assault, but because he
refused to go to bed.

The constable said he took him into custody like-
wise for the assault. The prisoner afterwards kicked
him and also assaulted the other constable.
The complainant, in answer to questions, said it
was one of the regulations of the lodging-house
that all the lodgers should go to bed at 12 o'clock
or be turned out.

The prisoner said he did not reach home until 10
minutes after 12 o'clock, and he wanted something
to eat.

Mr. Ingham told the prisoner that the regulation
of going to bed at 12 o'clock was a very necessary
one. At first it did appear ludicrous that two con-
stables should interfere to put him to bed, but that
had been explained. He fined him 205., or fourteen
days' imprisonment, for the assault.
The prisoner was locked up in default.
A FOOLISH MOTHER.—Louisa Washbourne, a
little girl about 15 years of age, was placed in the
dock, charged with stealing a box containing two
wax figures for Christmas trees, from the counter
of Mrs. Mary Dickenson, the keeper of a fancy re-
pository in Gloucester-road, South Kensington.
It appeared that on Saturday the prisoner took
the advantage, finding the shop empty, the prose-
cutrix having just steppedinto the parlour at the
back, to enter stealthily and to take what first
came to hand. The prosecutrix happened to catch
the glimpse of a figure quitting the door somewhat
hastily, and upon running into the shop she imme-
diately missed the box and figures, value 4s. 6d.,
from the counter. She instantly despatched her
assistant after the person, and she brought back the
prisoner. The box was not found, but in the station
the female searcher detected her in the act of swal-
lowing some pieces of wax. They were afterwards
shown to the proseeutrix, and she immediately
identified them as portions of the wax figures.
The prisoner cried bitterly, and had nothing to
say.

The constable, who took the prisoner, informed
his worship that she was a very bad girl, and her
parents could do nothing with her. It was only a
short time ago that they charged her at that court
for robbery, but the case was not pressed.
The prosecutrix stated that she believed the pri-
soner had robbed her twice before.
The mother, a respectable-looking woman, who
also cried very much, said she was utterly at a loss
to know what to do with her daughter. She had
been in service, and had had good situations, but
would not keep them.
The magistrate thought she was a fit subject
to be sent to a reformatory, and asked her (the
mother) what amount she could pay weekly for the
prisoner's support.
The mother said she could not pay anything—
her husband was only a working man.
Tho :Magistrate told her that she would have to
keep her Aughter if she was at home. However,
if she could not contribute anything for her main-
tenance he must send her to prison.
The prisoner was then committed for one month.
Both the mother and daughter embraced each
other before they were separated.

' A GOOD TEST.—" What do you think o' this
revival, Jemmy ?" asked a Seetchman the other day of his
friend the milkman. " Well, I dinna ken what to say of
it, " replied the latter ; " but one thing I ken, I ha' got a
great many bawbees which I had giod up as bad debts."
[ADVERTISEMENT.) —Holloway's Pills 'and Ointment.—
Diseases of the Chest.—The daily increase of deaths from
these causes is positively appalling. During the last three
weeks respectively 58, 90, and 102 persons died of bronchitis
alone, and no less than 73 per week have perished from
flammation of the lungs. Let no one afflicted in the chest
hesitate for a moment to use Holloway's patent remeadieesit;
av
ert
those used they will mitigate each symptom and •
those disastrous consequences so grievously noted by the Re-
gistrar-General. Rub the ointment thoroughly over the chest
at least three times a day, and take the pills exactly accord-
ing to the printed instructions affixed to each box and pot.
Immediate relief and permanent cure will result.
