NEW COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)

BURGLARY.

Henry Lovesy, 22, Thomas Lovesy, 16, and a woman
named Dunn, were indicted for a burglary in the dwelling
house of William Harman, and stealing his goods and
money valued at £27 Ps. 6d.
Mr. Orridge appeared for the prosecutor, and Mr. Horry
defended the prisoners,
Mr. Harman said—l reside at Poplar, and in conse-
quence of being in the Scandinavian trade I take in my
business a quantity of foreign money. One morning in the
month of June I came down to commence business, when I
found the place all in disorder, and a great quantity of pro-
perty stolen. Amongst the things taken away was a quan-

tity of foreign coin, which was safe when I retired to rest, in an
old sea chest in the counting house. There was amongst
the foreign money stolen an old English coin dated 1419,
six Mexican dollars, and the rest consisted of Nor-

wegian, Danish, Swedish, and Prussian money. After the

robbery had been committed I had bills printed offering
SIO reward for the apprehension of the parties, and the result
was that the female prisoner was taken into custody. On
searching the place the police opened a box belonging to
the prisoner, who:lived with the woman, and there a number
of foreign coins were discovered. They were similar to
those I had in my possession previous to the burglary, but
I could not positively swear to them, as there is no private
mark upon them. There was also found a silk handker-
chief, a Baltic shirt, and some other property, all of which
had formed a part of my stock. I can't swear that I have
not sold some articles similar to those found at Lovesy's,
but I am confident I never sold the handkerchief that was
found in Lovesy's box. The younger prisoner had been
in my employ.

Mr. Poole, residing at Shadwell, said—l am a pawn-
broker. I produce a number of foreign coins. The femala
offered them for sale. I asked her how much they were
worth, and where she had got them from. She said
they belonged to her brother, who lived in Albert-
street. I took the coins from her, and said if I found
her story was correct I would give twice the value of them.
I went out with her for the purpose of going to Albert-
street, but she said it was no use going there as her brother
was from home. Finding that she was trying to evade me,
I told her I should give ber into custody, when she said I
could keep the whole of the money if I would let her go. I
refused, and called a co . gave her into custody.
The prosecutor - , , coins, and picked out
one he said he could sw • n millions. It was
a coin of Henry V.
Police-constable Kea* said I took the female prisoner
into custody. Going to the station she said her cousin gave
her the coins to sell, but at the station she said a man whom
she did not know gave her the things to sell. She gave her
right address at the station.

George Williams, a pawnbroker's assistant, said—l pro-
duce a Baltic shirt, pawned by a woman, to whom I gave
a duplicate. I don't know the woman. The duplicate
just put into my hand is the one.

Several other pawnbrokers produced parts of the stolen
property, but none could identify either of the prisoners as
the parties who pawned them.•
The jury found both the male prisoners guilty of the
burglary, and Dunn guilty of feloniously receiving.
The Common Sergeant sentenced the younger prisoner
to twelve months' imprisonment, and the other to four years'
penal servitude.

On hearing the latter sentence the woman dropped down
insensible, and was carried out of court. Sentence on her
was postponed until to-moorow morning.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day).

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A COLONEL CHARGED WITH OBSTRUCTING AN INSPEC-
TOR IN HIS DUTY.—Mr. John Jeffries, a gentlemanly-
looking man, described as a colonel in the Guards, of Strat-
ford-place, was charged by Mr. Inspector Parke, of the C
division, with obstructing him while in the execution of
his duty.

Mr. Inspector John Duke Parker said—About a quarter
past twelve on Saturday night I was in the Haymarket in
the execution of my duty when the defendant camp up to
me in an excited manner and said he wanted me,
and took me into the Turkish Cigar , Divan, and
pointing to a person there said, " lie won't serve
me." Tho proprietor (Mr. Thompson) said, " No,
because you have insulted and struck my waiter on the
head with a stick" (produced). As the defendant was very
excited, and wanted to get at the stick, I did what I could
to get him out, and persuaded him to go away. Instead of
doing so, however, he followed me up and down the Hay-
market, saying he wanted my name and number, said he
was a colonel in the Guards, the lord-lieutenant of a county,
the son of a peer, connected with the Yacht Squadron, and
several other things. His conduct at last became so annoy-
ing, notwithstanding he had shown great forbearance, that
he was obliged to have him taken into custody.
The defendant said he had just left the Argyle Rooms,
where he had been with a distinguished member of the
Oriental Club. He had only taken two glasses of negus,
and he was a very steady man. Ho afterwards went down
the Haymarket, and into the Turkish Divan, kept by a
fellow named Thompson, where he put down 6d., intending
to pay 3d. for a cigar and one penny for the waiter, when
he was seized violently and turned out of the place by the
cigar fellow. He said to the inspector, " Take that man
into custody," but he handed him over to a constable. He
asked for his worship's protection. He had been treated
with violence.

Mr. Parker said the defendant was intoxicated at the
time, but was capable of walking. There had been no
violence used towards him, and he (the inspector) had pre-
vented him probably doing serious mischief. The proprietor
did not wish to press the charge against lulu, and every
opportunity had been afforded for his sending for bail.
Fined 205., or ten days.
