CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.)

OLD COURT.
(Before the Rtoorder.)
A FAST YOUNG DRAPER.

John Carter, 27 years of age, and described le the
calendar as a draper's assistant, was indicted for steal-
ing moneys, the property of his employers, Messrs.
Venablee, drapers, Whitechapel.
Mr. Robinson prosecuted, and Mr. Sleigh defended
the prisoner.
The prisoner had been in the prosecutor's employ-
ment about five months, during which time they
had cause to suspect him, and he was watched. On
serving a customer it was his duty to make out a bill
on the duplicate system adopted by the drapery trade, and
take them both to the cashier, who returns them to him,
one stamped to be given to the customer, and the other
retained by the prisoner as a check on the amount o
receipts entered against him. On the 6th February,
the prisoner took a duplicate bill to the cashier, made
out in the name of Mrs. Cummings for 1,. 9d. and altered
the one he handed to Mrs. Cummicgs to Bs. 91, the
amount of the articles she had purchased. Several such
instances had occurred, and the prosecutors gave him
into custody on these charges.
The case being clearly proved against the prisoner,
Mr. Sleigh said he could not resist the charge, and he had
advised him to retract his plea of not guilty and plead
guilty.
The prisoner accordingly pleaded guilty.
There were two other indictments against the prisoner,
one for stealing and the other
.far embezzling, to which
the prisoner pleaded guilty.
Mr. Sleigh addressed a few words to the Beet Her in
mitigation of punishment, urging, what the learned
counsel termed the prisoner's youth, which had caused
him to fall into temptation and lead a rather reckless
life.

Mr. Robinson, on the part of the prosecutors, re-
walked they had no desire to appear vindictive. The
prisoner came to them from the country, with a charac-
ter, a comparative stranger, but that during the time he
had been in their employ he must have commenced a
systematic course of plunder, for in addition to the
money cases they had discovered against him, his boxes
when searched were found to contain numerous articles,
the property of his employers. There was no doubt the
prisoner had been living a reckless life, for he had been
frequen ly seen (hiving tandem about the parks.
Ile Learned Recorder said the prisoner had syste-
matically plundered his employers. He sentenced him
to four years' penal servitude.
The Court was occupied the remainder of the day in
disposing of cases presenting no features of general
interest. .

SECOND COURT.
(Before tho Common Srrjeant.)
The Court was occup-ed the whole of the day in dis•
posing of cases of uttering base coin. They were of the
usual character, and devoid (1 p Anti of pub'ic interest,
except in the case of William Sage, an old offender,
who was sentenced to eight years' penal servitude.

TELE HAYMARKET MURDER.
It is expected that the trial of Giovanni Laoi, for the
wilful murder of Heloise Taubin, in the Haymarket, will
take place to-morrow morning.

CHARGE OF AFFILIATION UPON A

MARRIED MAN.

SELFE V. OS BORNE.

At the Kensington Petty Sessions, yesterday after.
noon, before a full bench of justices, an hffiliation sum-
mons was heard.

Mr. T. Beard appeared for the defendant, an omnibus
driver, living at Kensingtor.
Plaintiff, a good-looking young woman, about 26
years of age, said Fhe had known defendant for some
time

Ile is a married man, and in March last year
plaintiff was on a visit to his wife. During her absence
on the 6th or Bth of that month defendant had connection
with plaintiff, the result of which is the child now pre-
sent. When plaintiff was confined she wrote to the
defendant, who called to see her, and said, "Well, we
must have this talked about— how can we settle it !"
Toia was said i❑ the presence of a witness.
Cros,-txamined —She knew a young man named
Turner, and had on one occasion been out with him all
night, but no conrection ever took place between them,
and defendant was the only man she had ever known.
. witness, the woman who attende I plaintiff during
her confinement, was called, who corroborated plaintiff
in her statement of what transpired when defendant
visited her. Plaintiff was confined on the 6th or 7th of
December.

Mr. Beard, for the defendant, pointed out the extreme
probability of plaintiff's statement with respect to
Turner, and called defendant, who solemnly swore that
be bad never had any connection with the plaintiff. She
wrote to birn when she was confined, but the letter fall-
ing into the hands of his wife was the only reason of his
calling upon the plaintiff. He denied the conversation
swor❑ to by plaintiff and her witness.
'Lie court was cleared for about half-an-hour before
resuming its sitting. The presiding Justice Feld there
was certainly some hard swearing somewhere, and in the
face of tho evidence they must adjudge defendant to be
the father cf the child.
