manded, but be refused to pay it, and subsequently
offcrdd 3d. It appeared that the double ticket to
the C. yst •113dlaco mid back was 9d., and as be had
already paid that sum he thought they could not
demand more than the addi ioual 3d.

Trsedefenda,nt admitted ghat 1:e.;13 told on th
15th that the return ticket would not be availabl
on the next day, and said that was after he had
purchaseGl it, and he did not think the collector was
an authority. It was only but fir for him to expect
that a reasonable time would b allowed for him to
return.

Mr. Ingham inquired if there were any trains re-
turning after the time the ticket had been issued.
Mr. Anscomb said there were several. The defen-
dant had an opportunity of going to the Crystal
Palace station, stopping there three hours, and then
to return the same night to Battersea.
The defendant said at other railways return
tickets were available the next day, and he was not
to know they did not adopt the same principle on
the Cryst d Palace l'ne. However, if that was not
allowed, he thought it was against all principles of
right and justice that he should be charged an ad-
ditional sixpence when the single fares there and.
back amounted to only one shilling.
Mr. Engliam.said the ticket was dated the 15th,
clearly showing that it was only availtv le for that
day. As to reasonable time being allowed, there
might be no end to people's fancies. Some might
think their whole lifetime a reasonable period, and
so on. However, apart from all philosophical views
of the mitter, he thought there hid been an at-
tempt to defraud the company. He fined him 20s.
and costs, which were paid.

GREENWICIL—Anne M‘Pherson, 32, alias
Benton, alias Walker, described as a shoe-binder of
9, James-street, Peckham, was charged with enter-
ing the house of Thomas Coppard, in Norfolk-
place, Swan-hine, Rotheihithe, and stealing a bon.
net, two pairs of boots, and two spoons.
When apprehended a convict's ticket of leave was
found in her possession, and it appeared she had
only been liberated on Tuesday, the 2d inst., hav-
ing in June, 1852, been sentenced to 14 years tran-
sportation for felony, at the Monmouth assizes.
Mr. Seeker committed her for trial.

WOOLWICH.—Andrew Berncastle, captain
and owner of the yacht Albatross, John Thomas
Olney, gentleman, of 54, Watling street, City, and
James Barber and James M`Laughlin, seamen,
were charged with conveying spirits on chore, liable
to seizure, and also having a large quantity of.
spirits, cigars, and tobacco on board the yacht.
The Albatross arrived in the river off Erith on
Friday from R Aterdam, and on Capt. Berncastle
coming on shore, Mr. lorry, the chief officer of the
Coast Guard at that station, asked what stock he
had on board the yacht, to which he replied—about
two dozen bottles of brandy. a few cigars, and a
small quantity of tobacco. The yacht was after-
wards searched, Captain Berncastle holding up the
lid of a locker for that purpose, and the searcher
being satisfied left the vessel. Shortly afterwards
Captain Berncastle and the defendant Olney were
observed coming on shore carrying a carpet bag
and portmanteau, which, on their being stopped,
were found to contain three bottles of spirits and
a bottle and a hall' of brandy. This led to a further
overhaul of the yacht and the discovery of about 70
bottles of spirits, four boxes of cigars weighing
Mbs., and Sibs. of tobacco, upon which the yacht
was seized, and the defendants taken into custody.
After hearing this evidence on Saturday, and
the defence of Olney, that he was merely a passen-
ger, and that the spirits they carried on shore were
intended as presents to friends,
Mr. Traits declined convicting for the lesser of-
fence, and '
Captain Biker, commander of the Coast Guard
service at Gravesend, now stated that it was not
lintended to prosecute.

Mr. Seeker said that he had no power to act,
and the defendants must be discharged.
