was attending here the other apprentices amused
themselves by making all sorts of noises in my hear-
ing with the view of annoying me, and bringing me
into contempt.
Alderman Gabriel—Have you anything to say to
this complaint ?
Defendant—l told Mr. Cottam I wished to see
the eclipse, and as there was not much work in the
house I went.
Alderman Gabriel—Were you aware that other
men had been taken on recently
Defendant—Yes, sir ; but they were employed
upon different work.
Mr. Taylor—The other apprentices asked for the
key to enable them to go on the roof and see the
eclipse, and I gave it to them immediately.
Alderman Gabriel (to defendant)—If the other
apprentices were content with viewing the eclipse
from the roof of the office, why could not you be
also, instead of neglecting your master's work for
several hours against his commands. Why did you
refuse to make out your weekly bills ?
Defendant—Because the rewards were not paid
to us regularly.
Alderman Gabriel—But you are bound to obey
your master's lawful commands.
Defendant—Yes, sir, but we were misinformed,
for we wrote to the editor of one of the newspapers,
because we understood that such questions were
answered by a lawyer, and the reply we got was
that we were not bound to make out such bills.
Alderman Gabriel—What paper did you write

to T
Defendant—The Sunday Times, sir.
Alderman Gabriel—Then I suppose you also
wrote to the editor to ask if I had the power to
send you to prison ?
Defendant—No, sir.
Alderman Gabriel—You are brought here on a
very serious charge, and the consequences to your-
self are still more serious. My duty is to send you
to gaol, and however reluctant I may be to send
a respectable youth who is getting an honest iiving
to prison, I feel that I have no alternative but
to perform that duty. Such acts of rebellion as
you have committed are sufficient to contami-
nate the whole establishment, and calculated
to prove most injurious to your master's busi-
ness. The spirit of insubordination has evi-
dently gone very far among you, by your
writing to the editor of a newspaper for advice,
in order that you might resist your master's not
unreasonable demands; and it does not appear that
you at all regret your misconduct. You have not
made the least apology, or evinced the slightest con-
trition before me, for what has passed ; and if Mr.
Humphreys, for essrs. Taylor and Greening, de-
sire that you be sent to prison, I will not shrink
from the responsibility of a duty which may brand
you for life with the imputation of having been
sent to a felon's gaol.
Mr. Humphreys-4 did not intend to interfere
beyond laying the facts of the case before you ; but
Mr. Taylor now instructs me to say that if the de-
fendant will express his contrition, and promise to
obey his master, and conduct himself properly in
future, he will not press for any punishment.
Alderman Gabriel—lt is evident, by Mr. Taylor's
intercession, that he is not a harsh master.
The defendant here said he was sorry for his mis-
conduct, and made the required promise ; upon
which his master shook hands with him, and said
he was satisfied, from his knowledge of defendant's
disposition, that he would keep his word.
Alderman Gabriel—l am glad to see the master
shaking hands with the apprentice ; and let me tell
you, young man, that Mr. Taylor has displayed a
much better spirit than I have seen in you, and I
hope you will be grateful to him for his kindness,
for it is only through him you have escaped a pri-
son, as I had made up my mind to send you to
prison for seven days at least.
The summons was then adjourned to the same
as that against the other apprentice, when the cases
will be dealt with according to the conduct of the
parties.

BOW-STREET.—EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—W.
J. Aitchison, aged 21, a clerk in the Union Bank
of London, Princes-street, and the son of a mem-
ber of the Common Council, and Fanny Hill, a
young woman, who described herself as the wife of
an architect, lodging at 35, Great James-street,
Bedford-row, were placed at the bar before Mr.
Henry, charged with stealing a purse containing a
half-sovereign and about 7s. in silver, from the per-
son of Jane Harvey, a married woman.
The prosecutrix deposed that she was the wife
of a coachman living at 56, Gloucester-mews, and
was herself in the service of a gentleman's family
at present residing at St. Leonard's. On Tuesday
evening, about half-past seven o'clock, she was
walking from Russell-square towards Bedford-H
square, on her way home, when she met the two
prisoners, arm-in-arm. The male prisoner, stopping
her, said, "Is this Keppel-street 1" Witness re-
plied, "I think it is." He then asked the name of
the square at the end of the street, and she told
him " Russell-square." About this time the female
prisoner pressed rudely against her (witness's) side
while the conversation was going on. The male
prisoner then asked the way to Southampton-row
and Queen square. Witness pointed out the direc-
tion of the places to the best of her ability, after
which the prisoners walked on. Witness, having
her suspicion aroused by the conduct of the woman
and the number of questions put to her by the
young man, put her hand into her pocket, and in-
stantly missed her purse. She was then certain that
the prisoners had robbed her, and she resolved to
fellow them. She did so, keeping a short distance
from them. After proceeding a litble way along
Keppel-street, they turned round and walked back
again, crossed Bedford-square, and passed along
Bedford-street to Tottenham-court-road, at the
corner of which the male prisoner (who had looked
back and seen witness following him), whistled to
some men on the opposite side of the street. The
whistle was answered by another whistle, but wit-
ness did not see the man who responded to the sig-
nal. The prisoners then crossed Tottenham-court-
road, turned into a small dark back street, in the
neighbourhood of Rathbone-place, and subse-
quently walked back again, re crossed Tottenham-
court-road, passing again through Bedford-square
and Keppel-street. Witness still followed them,
hoping to meet a constable shortly, although
not one had yet appeared on the route. In
Keppel-street the male prisoner, seeing that
she was still behind them, left the young woman
and walking up to witness, asked her if she
was lost ! She replied " You know what lam
following you for." At this moment she saw two
men in the street, and telling them that the pri-
soners had robbed her of her purse, asked one of
them to go and fetch a constable. te went into
Russell-square, and found one on duty there, No.
22 E, to whom witness then stated the case, and
gave the prisoners into custody.
Police-constable 22 E, corroborated this latter
statement. He took the prisoners to the stalion-
house, when they were searched. A. porte-inonnaie,
consisting of Os. in silver, and fonr pawnbrokers'
duplicates, were found on the female prisoner, but
the purse stolen from the proseoutrix was not
found. Neither of the prisoners had a half•
sovereign. At the station, the female prisoner ad-
mitted that she knew Russell-square and 4he district
very well but she did not think the young man did.
She gave her address, and witness went afterwards
to inquire at the house in Great James-street,
where she lodged. He was there informed that
she did live there as Mrs. Hill, and had been there
about eighteen months ; Mr. Hill having been
there three years. She was told that she had been
a servant in the family of Mr. Deputy Aitchison,
the male prisoner's father.
Mr. Henry—Did the male prisoner deny the
statement of the prosecutrix ?
Witness—He did not denyhaving asked the way
to the various places mentioned, but he denied
having robbed her.
At this point the male prisoner's attorney re-
quested that he might send for counsel, and after
an adjournment for this purpose, Mr. Metcalfe
attended for him.
In the meantime Mr. Hill, who said he was the
husband of the young woman at the bar, requested
that he might have the keys which had been taken
from his wife by the constable. The application
was granted.
The prosecutrix added, that in the middle of the
night, after one o'clock, a constable brought the
male prisoner's brother to her residence and called
her up. She got up, and the brother proposed to
compromise the case. Witness declined the offer,
stating that she had placed the matter in the hands
of the police, and it must remain with them.
Mr. Metcalfe cross-examined the prosecutrix
with considerable perseverance, but without elicit-
ing a single discrepancy in her statement. She had
felt the purse in her pocket shortly before.
The sergeant at the station (11 E) who took the
charge, deposed that the prosecutrie gave precisely
the same account of the affair to him, and it was so
clear and straightforward he felt bound to take the
charge. Finding afterwards that the prisoners
had given their right addresses, and that the young
1118,11 .nag very respectably connected, he thought t
right to send
a constable to ascertain if the pi o 3( -

PxZeciltrix, must
Heved, were, that the young man Aitchison
be-
his brother, had gone to spend the evening --at bar,
Hill's, at whose house they had met a young raid_
shiproari, Mr, Hill proposed that the prisoner's

-brother, the midshipman,. and himself, should go
out and have a game of billiards together ; and, to
compensate the wife for their absence, Hill pro-
posed that the younger Aitchison (the pri-
soner) should take her out for a stroll. This was
how they came to be walking together when
they met the prosecutrix and asked the ques-
tions as to the way, probably not wishing to get
too far away from home. Surely upon such evi-
dence as this, the magistrate would not inflict upon
a most respectable family the distress which would
be occasioned by the committal of a youth like the
prisoner, who held a most responsible situation,
and bore an excellent character, as he had various
witnesses to show.

Mr. Henry—l could not dismiss the charge
without expressing a strong opinion upon it. It is
shown that the female prisoner, with whom he was
walking arm-in•arm, knew Russell-square perfectly
well, and residing, as she has done for 18 months,
in the immediate locality, it would be difficult to
believe that she did not know every one of the
places asked for. Besides, when informed, they
went in the contrary direction.
Mr. Metcalfe did not attach much importance to
this. Besides, the prosecutrix may have been mis-
taken.
Mr. Henry—Her statement was not denied by
either of tl e prisoners. Then there is the fact of
his having whistled to some one before turning into
a dark bye street.
Mr Metcalfe, I whistle myself occasionally in the
street, but I suppose I must abandon the practice.
There was a cab-stand at the corner of the street,
and the whistling may have come from there.
Mr. Henry—l really could not say that the male
prisoner left the dock without a reproach upon his
character, and therefore it is better that the case
should go before a jury.
Mr. Metifalfs—ln that:oase we should prefer his
going for trial. The suspense would be fatal to
him. I will call a witness, however, to speak to
his character.

Mr. W. G. Pullinger, chief cashier at the Union
Bank of London (head establishment), said—The
prisoner is a clerk at our bank, and has been with
us upwards of two years. His father is a deputy
of one of the wards (the Tower), and the architect
of our bank. The prisoner is very regular in his
habits, and bears an excellent character. I think
it very likely that he knows scarcely anything of
the West. end. Mr. H►ll tells me that he proposed
a game of billiards with the prisoner's brother and
a friend, and, just to pacify the wife, said to the
prisoner, " Here, William, you just take my wife
out for a bit of a stroll." What followed appears to
me all natural enough.
Mr. Hill (stepping forward) said—l know that
Wm. Aitchison is ignorant of the locality. My wife
knows the places, but not the names of the streets.
Mr. Henry—Most people ask the way to a place
with the view of going to it. The prisoner asks the
way to several places, not wishing to go to either.
Then why did he ask so many questions, if not to
engage the prosecutrix ? The case must go for trial,
but I will accept bail—two sureties of 501. each,
besides their own recognisances.
The prisoners were then committed for trial, the
male prisoner's father and Mr. Hill being accepted
as bail for the woman.

CLERKENWELL.—Sir Jas. APlCenzie, Bart.,
now staying at the Great Northern Hotel, King's-
cross, and who appeared to be suffering from an
attack of delirium tremens, was placed at the bar
Wore Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with violently as-
saulting Louisa Fane, residing in Cirencester-place,
Portland-road, at the Great Northern Railway
Station, King's-cross.
Louisa Fane said—l am a " gay woman," and
reside in Cirencester-place, Portland-road. Last
night the defendant called at my lodgings, and af-
terwards asked me to go with him in a cab to his
hotel for the purpose of paying me some money
which he owed me. I consented to go with him,
and when we got to the Great Northern Railway
Hotel he got out first, and when I followed him he
struck me with his stick, and followed it up by hit-
ting me a violent blow over the head, which broke
his stick. He would have done a deal more had he
not been stopped by one of the officers. I have
known the defendant about three months. I did
not strike him or have any angry words with him
while in the cab.

Defendant—Was it last night or the night be-
fore that I struck you.
Witness—Last night, about 8 o'clock.
Defendant (emphatically)—That is a lie. (Laugh-
ter.) I believe lam sober, which I must confess is
rather remarkable. What is the money owing for ?
Complainant—That question I decline to answer.
Fussell, No. 12, of the Great Northern Railway
police, said—l was on duty in front of the booking
office last night, when a cab, containing the defend-
apt and two females, drove up on the opposite side
of the way. The defendant got out of the cab,
and was followed by the complainant, when, in the
nomst excited manner, he commenced calling out
murder," " thieves," "police," &c., and struck
the complainant with his stick several times.
One of the blows wag of such a violent character,
that it broke the stick in half. I then stepped in,
and prevented the defendant doing any further
violence.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—Was the defendant the worse for
liquor ?

Witness—Well, I don't know what to say. He
appeared very funny, the same as he now does.
(Laughter.)
Cecily Wilson said—l reside at 22, Cirencester-
place. I am a dressmaker, and make as many
dresses as I can. lam not so " unfortunate" as
Miss Fane. Last night I was induced by the de-
fendant to go with him in a cab along with Miss
Fane to his hotel, when he would pay her 21. that
he owed her. As soon as he got out of the crib be
struck her several times without provocation, and
had it not been for the police, who interfered, he
would have injured her very much.
The defendant said he was a gentleman, and did
not wish to deny the charge.
Mr. Tyrwhitt, after suggesting that the defendant
should settle the matter with the complainant—a
suggestion which he declined to adopt—said the
avault was proved, and he should inflict upon him
the full penalty of 51., or in default of payment,
two calendar months' imprisonment in the House
of Correction.

The defendant said he could easily pay that or
any other amount, and was removed to the cells,
but was afterwards taken away in the van.

fine Skye terrier, the property of Mrs. Mary Inn
Robarts, of Z 9, Bronapton-square.
The dog in question was produced dead, and laid
with groat care by the lady's servant upon the table.
Mrs. Robarts said that about a month ago she was
walking in Brompton-row, when she saw the pri-
soner and another man. She had her Skye terrier
with her, and while she stopped for a moment to
adjust the lower part of her dress she saw the pri-
soner's companion throw something resembling a
piece of putty towards the dog. She then turned the
corner of Brompton-square towards her own house,
and in an instant the animal was gone. She caused
advertisements to be inserted in newspapers and
han lbtlls printed, offering a rowel d, but all to no
avail. She had had the dog 11 years, and it was a
great favourite, and she was recommended to avail
herself of the services of Mr. Farmer, a dog fancier,
to make inquiries amongst dog stealers, and endea-
vour to hear of it, and as an incentive, she offered
21. for the dog, if alive, and 1/. for his remains, if
dead ; and after a great deal of excitement and loss
of time, Farmer, last night, came to her house,
and informed her that he bad tidings of her dog,
and that the men who had got it were at a
public-house in the neighbourhood. She went
with her servant, and upon the men coming out
into the street, recognised the prisoner and the
man who had thrown the stuff resembling petty
to the dog. Prisoner then informed her that if
she give him 30s. she should have the body of the
dog, as he was dead ; but she refused until the dog
was produced, as she considered she could not take
the word of any persons like the prisoner. The
accused then proposed that her servant should ac-
company him to where the dog was, but as she
feared same trick might be played she determined
to go herself, and accordingly a cab was called and
prisoner and his companion having takentheir seats
by the driver, she was taken a great distance into
a low dirty neighbourhood, where the prisoner
alighted, and after a lapse of some minutes came
to the cab door with something wrapped in black
cloth, and demanded the money promised for the
dead dog ; but he would not allow her to examine
it so as'ito be satisfied of its identity ; and a.police-
man coming up at the moment, she called him, and
knowing that the prisoner and his companion were
the p-rsous who had absolutely stolen the dog, gave
them into custody. Prisoner, w: • was intoxicAted,
was captured, but the police refused to take the
other fellow, who escaped. The dog, upon exami-
nation, turned out to be the one stolen from the
lady.
Prisoner was remanded for further inquiry, and
that the conduct of the police might not pass dis-
regarded.

tion, and informing him that the books would be
sent by railway to Maidstone on his forwarding
21. as security ; that he could deduct that from the
first money he received. Witness wrote to him

but found no parcel for him there, and he was in-
duced to come to London, and at the railway sta-
tion he ascertained that no parcel had been sent
for him. He then suspected that he had been
swindled, and he was induced to call at the office
of the Kentish Times to ask after the party who
inserted the advertisement. He was told the ad-
vertisement was sent from London to be inserted
three times, but no money had been sent, neither
did they know the patty who forwarded it.
Mr. Burcham expressed his surprise that a news-
paper proprietor should insert such advertisements
without the money from a party tot4lly unknown.
The prisoner was remanded until Monday.

no one can deprive him—is the knowledge that his
name will henceforth be associated with the memory
of those great achievements.

LADY HAVELOCK.

At the meeting of the Birmingham town-council
on Tuesday the following leeter from Lady Have-
lock was read :

"Bonn, on the Rhine, March 11.
" Sir I have this week had the honour to receive your
letter, accompanied by an address of condolence from
yourself, the aldermen, and burgesses of the borough of
lifrmingbarn. I was already prepared for such a mark
of attention by a letter from your town, intimating the
same, but the deep sympathy expressed for me in my
bereavement, the kind sentiments felt in my behalf and
that of my fatherless children, by so large and respect-
able a body and the elegant and very delicate manner in
which this address has been conveyed to me, have quite
overpowered me, and I cannot find words to express all
I felt. The high encomiums you have all been pleased
to pass upon the heroic deeds of Sir Henry Havelock, as
a soldier and a general, and the exalted terms in which
you have spoken of my beloved husband as a man, are
are like sweet/ incense to my broken and afflicted heart,
not merely because the praises of those we love are ever
precious to us, but because I am so well aware that the
portraiture of his almost perfect character is by
no means overdrawn, and the experience of more
than eight-and-twenty years of domestic happiness
only serves to strengthen this opinion. But I
thank my Heavenly Father that, even in this c rush
ing and unexpected bereavement. I have many
sources of comfort. Our gracious Sovereign has pro.
vided bountifully for my wants, my sons are nobly fol-
lowing the bright example of their father, and my two
daughters are my best earthly trea;ures. A shade of
regret might intrude if I were to reflect on the altered
prospects of my fatherless children, but I cannot for a
moment indulge in vain regrets, for our Heavenly
Father ordains all things for the best, and I have too
much confidence in my husband's countrymen to sup-
pose that they can ever cease to take an interest in the
children of Henry Havelock. May I beg you will do
me the honour to convey my heartfelt thanks to the
corporation of Birmingham, and to believe me, with
every feeling of respect to be,
"Yours very gratefully,
"HANNAH S. HAVELOCK.
" J. Ratcliff, Esq., Mayor of Bingham."
