I sharebrokers and shareholders love t o confide, and
cannot long remain unfrosted. These details, how-
ever, are merely food for a momeait's gossip.
The great fact to be recognised is ghat in this
commercial country, at the present epooh, the legal
functionaries of the Crown and the representatives
of the people in Parliament . tacitly avow that
the system is perfectly consonant with their ideas
of justice and morality. The question was urged
upon them months ago, and they thought it un-
worthy of notice. The daily fruits are consequently
being experienced, and all that can be done is, for
the sake of equal dealing, to point out to every one
how the matter stands, so that all may have the
same choice of the sanctuary which at present is
turned to account only by persons with shrewd ad-
visers and of the talented stamp of Mr. Gill.—

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—( This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE BURGLAILY AND EXTENSIVE R OBBERY IN OXFORD-
STREET.—Thomas Hopkins and Jane Johnson were placed
at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with being con-
cerned with others, not in custody, with stealing about 500
silk umbrellas, value 2201., the property of Mr. Paterson
Boyle, wholesale umbrella manufacturer, of 338, Oxford-
street.

Inspector Holder, of the C division, said—About 9 on
Saturday night last, I went, in company with Sergeant
Crocker, and Cole, 317 A, to 2, Bromley-place, and on going
up stairs met the male prisoner, whom they knew as Turner
coming down stairs. I said, "Is your name Turner ?" he
said " Yes." The female then said, " Come into this back
room." I said "No ; you occupy the second floor
front, so open the door," and she did so, and on
going into the room I told them to consider them-
selves in custody ; and I then told Cole antl Crocker to
search the place, and they did so, Cole producing a silk
umbrella, which I at once recognised as one of those stolen,
from the description I had received from the prosecutor.
I then asked him how he got possession of it, and he said
it was given to him by a man at a public-house opposite,
who was a stranger to. him. I said it was strange a stranger
should give him an umbrella worth 15s. He then said the
man only asked him to mind it for him. On a further
search a number of keys—one a skeleton one—was found,
and a quantity of duplicates (44) relating to all kinds of
property.

Mr. Patterson Boyle, the prosecutor, identified the um-
brella produced, owing to the make being different from
that of other manufacturers. He did not believe it had
been sold, though several like it had been. The place
where the prosecutor's mark had been had been scraped.
The value of the property stolen was £220.
Inspector Holder said from inquiries he had made he had
ascertained the prisoner had been drinking with a man,
and after some conversation left him and crossed over to
the house. The female was not known to the police.
The female said she was out on the evening mentioned,
but it was only to pledge something, and she did call in
the public-house to have some beer, but she was quite
innocent of the charge.

Mr. Bingham gave her full credit. It might be she knew
nothing about the umbrella, but if she had the misfortune
to be connected with such a person as the male prisoner, she
must take the consequences. lie should remand them both
till Wednesday next.
