LA TV INTELLIGENCE.-(TIIIS DAY.)

CITY SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.)
THE TALLY SYSTEM.-CLAMP V. GRLPDEN,

This was an action to recover the sum of Bs., balance of a
tally account. Plaintiff stated that defendant had goods to
a larger amount, but had paid the collector all but the sum
now claimed. Upon being asked for the same, defendant
said he had paid the collector, but plaintiff had no account
of it. The collector had left plaintiff's service.
Mr. Beard, for the defendant, said he should call the
collector, who would prove that defendant had paid him,
and that he in turn had handed the same over to the
plaintiff.

Mr. Beard then called defendant and the collector, and
after their evidence his Honour said he was not altogether
satisfied, but must find for the defendant.

A TALE OF SOME PIGS.-TURNER V. THURSTON

This was an action to recover 19s. 10d. for layerage of
119 pigs. It appears that plaintiff keeps a private layerage,
near the Newgate-market, at which place it is usual to
house pigs after a heavy journey, and when they Um foot
sore. Thurston purchased a quantity of pigs of one Say-
ward, who he alleged should pay the money ; but plaintiff
contended that Thurston was liable, and had promised to
pay. A witness was called to prove a promise to pay.
Mr. Wilson, for defendant, contended that the promise
to pay was a qualified one, and that Sayward was the per-
son who should have paid. In fact, Thurston was only a
servant to a person named Cross, a slaughterer, to whom
the pigs were finally delivered. The pigs were delivered
to Sayward.

Plaintiff—But defendant was present.
After some further evidence, his Honour said he was
quite satisfied that Thurston was the responsible person,
and he should give plaintiff a verdict.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.

IVAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.

Henry Kelley, Elizabeth Kelley, and an elderly woman,
named Wallace, were placed at the bar, this morning,
charged with having in their possession a large quantity of
stolen property. '
Police-constable Joy, 333 A, said—On Wednesday last
notice was received by the police that a black leather port-
manteau had been stolen from the roof of a cab, containing
property of considerable value, and from information he
afterwards obtained, he went to the prisoners' lodgings, 8,
Little Wild-street, and there discovered the missing port-
manteau. He questioned the prisoners how they became
possessed of it, but the most unsatisfactory answers were
returned to his inquiries. A brother constable, 301 A,
being in company with him, they conveyed the prisoners
and the stolen property to the station-house, where the
charge was duly entered against them. On opening the
portmanteau it was found to contain a quantity of wearing
apparel, bearing the name of " Shaw," a military
coat belonging to an officer in the "Royal Marine
Light Infantry," two silver gravy spoons, two
ditto dessert, two diti,o, teaspoons, and four silver prongs,
marked with the letters "L. P. S." There was also in it
a fancy smoking cap, made of red, white, and blue cloth, a
large roll of leaf tobacco, and a carpet travelling-bag. On
examining the apartment, a large number of pawnbrokers'
duplicates were found, all of which related to wearing ap-
parel, and a barrister's scarlet bag, bearing inside the words,
" Phipson, Temple." From what he had now learned, the
scarlet bag was a part of the produce of another robbery,
committed a short time ago, after which the learned gentle-
man offered a reward- of .£5 for a memorandum-book which
was in the bag when it was stolen.

The other police-constable haling given similar evidence,
The female searcher at the police-station said ehe found
18 duplicates sewed round the bottom of the dress of the
elder prisoner, and also in her pocket the remains of a large
silver skewer, which had been broken into bits of an inch
long. Nothing was found on either of the others.

Mr. Jardine asked if the owner of the property had been
discovered ?

The constable said he had not yet had time to make any
inquiries, but if the prisoners Wore remanded for a week he
should be prepared to go on with the case.
Remanded accordingly.

THE VICTORIA CROSS.

ROBBING A NEWS Room.—A very respectably-dressed
man, a foreigner, was charged with stealing a book from
the Strand news-room.

The prosecutor said he was standhig at the street door
of the newsroom, 76, Strand, of which he was the proprietor,
at about half-past eight o'clock, when he observed the pri-
soner coming hurriedly down stairs. As he passed into the
street he presented a very bulky appearance about the chest,
and immediately he (prisoner) saw this circumstance had
aroused suspicion, he ran away as fast as possible. He
(prosecutor) pursued him, and on coming up with him in
Maiden-lane, the book now produced, " Kelly's Post-office
Directory for 1859" was taken from under his coat. He
made a strong appeal to be allowed to escape, but was given
into the custody of the police. The prosecutor said he had
no wish to press for a severe punishment against the man,
but last-night he -did feel much annoyed that the directory
should have been stolen, as he had only the day previous
given 375. for it for the accommodation of the public.
The prisoner, in answer to the charge, made a long state-
ment in the German language, the purport of which was
that want had driven him to commit the robbery.
Remanded for inquiries to be made as to character.

STEALING A TRUCK.—Margara Winch, a street vendor
of(paps and cuffs, was charged with stealing a hand truck,
value £4, the property of the London and North Western
Railway Company.

Hewett, one of the porters at the War-office, in Pall-
mall, said last evening, about five o'clock, the truck was
standing in front of the efface, having been used for the
conveyance of some heavy goods from the waggon to the
interior of the house. It had been left in his care, and if it
had been lost he should have had to pay for it, which would
have been rather a serious matter for him in his situation,
As the truck had been recovered, and the woman had been
locked up all night, he had• no wish to press the charge.
The woman was so drunk that she seemed not to know
what she was about.

(Front the London Gazette of this Evening.)

WAR-OFFICE, DEC. 24

The prisoner said she had only taken the truck for a lark.
Mr. Jardine advised her to abstain from such larks for
the future, or she would in a very short time find herself
inside a prison. He would let her off this time, but he
should recollect the occurrence when she made her next
appearance at that office.

treating enemy on the 2d of January, 1858, at Rhoda-
gunge, he saw in the distance two Sepoys going
away with a standard. Lieutenant Roberts put spurs
to his horse, and overtook them just as they were
about to enter a village. They immediately turned round,
and pres:tated their muskets at him, and one of the men
pulled the trigger, but fortunately the caps snapped, and
the standard-bearer was cut down by this gallant young
officer, and the standard taken possession of by him. He
also, on the same clay, cut down another Sepay who was
standing at bay, with musket and bayonet, keeping off a
Sonar, Roberte rode to the assistance of the horse-
