THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENINet, DECEMBER 8, 1858,

ARMY CONTRACTS INQUIRY.

The Royal Commissionerspointed to inquire into the
system of Government contracts for the army, &c., as-
sembled this morning in No. 11 Committee Room, House

The Commissioners present were Mr. Selfe (chairman),
Mr. Turner, and Colonel French.

Amongst the persons examined were Mr. Johnson, of
the firm of Rabone Brothers, of Birmingham, who stated
that their firm took an order for 10,000 shovels, and in the
first delivery at Woolwich 960 were rejected. He came up to
wn. to 503 ab3p.t the affair, and put hi mself in communi-
cation with two viewers at Woolwich, and gave them vari-
ous sums of money, amounting to something like £5 each,
to facilitate the passing of his goods. By that means he
was enabled to get through his contract. He expressed
himself disgusted with the system, and determined never
to take another contract, in consequence of the trouble and
expense he had been put to in carrying back ward and
forward the rejected articles.

Mr. Beadon said she must pay 10s., or seven days,

THAMES.

justified in taking them into custody. He considered it
very unfair that this one out of a number should be singled
out of those poor prostitutes, who had been tolerated for
years.

Mr. Beadon said he was glad to say the evil was less,
but the nuisance mast be put a stop to.
Mr., Lewis said there was no breach of decency. She
had been locked up since the previous day, and bail had
been refused.

Mr. Beadon said that was in the discretion of the police.
Mr. Lewis said that all that was required was that they
should appear before his worship the next day for punish-
ment. He thought it was a pity the discretion was with
the police.

George Esslatehin, a youth aged 16, a native of Hesse
Cassel, in Germany, was brought before Mr. Yardley,
charged with stealing a silver watch and guard chain, the
property of George Luther, a skin dresser. •

The evidence was interpreted by Mr. Lewis Strauss, a
licensed victualler, and landlord of the Crown public-
house in Rupert-street, Whitechapel. It appeared that the
prosecutor was residing at 1, New-street, Stepney, near the
London Hospital, and the prisoner had been lodging with
him and slept in the same room. There was a silver
watch and chain deposited in a cupboard, and the prose-
cutor saw it there sixteen days ago, On Monday night the
prisoner broke open the cupboard, abstracted the watch and
pawned it with the chain for 145., at the shop of Mr.
Fryatt, pawnbroker, in the Mile-end-road. He com-
menced squandering the money, and was detected in a
public-house by Porter William Dunaway, a police-con-
stable, No. 129 H, who produced 'the watch and chain.
Mr. Yardley said the prisoner was described as 16 years
of age, surely he must be older than that.
Dunaway—He has been in England only six months,
and his passport describes him as 16 years of age only.
Mr. Yardley—He is a tall, strong, lusty youth. I should
have thought him to be 19 years old at least.
The prisoner, in defence, said he had no work and no
food.

The prosecutor said he maintained the youth, and gave
him food and lodging while he was out of work.
Mr. Yardley :said the prisoner was very ungrateful to-
wards the prosecutor, and he (the magistrate) was very
sorry indeed to see a young man commencing life in this
way. It was the prisoner's first offence, but it was a serious
one, and he must inflict a severe punishment. He sen-
tenced the prisoner to be imprisoned and kept at hard
labour for three calendar months.
