The Corporation Address to her Majesty.

This morning the members of the Corporation of
the City of London, headed by the Right Hon
the Lord Mayor, proceeded in State from Guild-
hall to Buckingham Palace for the purpose of pre-
senting an address of congratulation to her Majesty
on the occasion of the birth of the daughter of their
Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of IVales.
At one time a difficulty appeared likely to curtail
the civic procession of its fair proportions, a com-
munication from the Howe-office stating that
the number of those forming the deputation
was not to exceed 40. However the duty of
making the selection was excellently avoided, as last
evening it was intimated that her Majesty was gra-
ciously pleased to give audience to the whole Court
of Common Council on the occasion. The civic
authorities were received with much distinction at
Buckingham Palace, and having been ushered into
the Royal presence, the address of the citizens was
read at length, and then presented to her Majesty,
who, in reply, said it gave her the greatest pleasure
to receive the congratulations of the citizens of
London, on the happy occasion, and that her
Majesty looked upon it as another proof of loyal
attachment which had been so often displayed
towards her person and family by all classes of her
subjects.

LAW INTELLIGENCE-THIS DAY.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary and a Special Jury.)
WIGHT T. WIGHT AND FIELD.

The petitioner in this suit was a returned Indian officer
who arrived in this country on leave of absence accompa-
nied by his wife. Urgent matters called upon him to re-
turn to India, which he did, leaving his wife in England.
He subsequently again returned to England, when he
heard that his wife dad, during his absence, formed an
improper attachment with the co-respondent, a person
practising as a surgeon.
The case is one that will occupy the Court two or three
days ; therefore we defer a report till the case is concluded.

POLICE INTELLIGEKCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROCUII-STREET.

DOG-STEALING. --William Bishop, calling him-
self a stableman, was charged before Mr. Knox
with stealing a dog, the value of £5, the property
of Mr. George Evans, of the British Hotel, Jermyn-
street.

Sergeant Bunce, 5 C.—Last night at 9 o'clock
I saw a little dog sitting on the step of the British
Hotel, the prisoner, a few yards off, looking at the
dog. He (witness) watched the prisoner, and saw
him take up the dog, put it under his arm, and
walk off with it; and on his going after the pri-
soner, and asking him where he was going with the
dog he said that the dog had followed him, and that
he was endeavouring to find the owner. The
Sergeant then took the prisoner and the dog to the
prosecutor's, and he having identified the dog as his
property, he took the prisoner into custody.
Mr. Evans, of the British Motel, Jerrnyn-street,
identified the dog as his property, and said he had
only lost sight of it two minutes when it was taken.
Mr. Knox said it was fortunate the sergeant was
Eo near at hand at the time.

The prisoner said he did not steal the dog. He
merely took it up, and was going to 107, Jermyn-
street, thinking it belonged to a gentleman there.
Mr. Knox said there was a parcel of vagabonds
about London who thought they could steal dogs
and make a living by it. He considered the case
proved against the prisoner, and should commit him
for six months with hard labour, and if the prisoner
was caught at the same work again he would be
sent to the Sessions and would get. 18 months' irn-
prisonmeut.

TIIE SEAL SKIN COAT.-SCSPECTED ROBBERY.

—Margaret Timms, aged 40, the wife of a carman
in the service of Pickford, the carriers, was brought
before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing a lady's
seal skin coat, valued at £2O.

The prisoner offered the coat in pawn at the shop
of Mr. Folkard, in the Commercial-road, yesterday
afternoon. This very respectable and worthy
tradesman and his assistants have frequently ren-
dered valuable aid to the public in detaining valua-
able stolen property, and bringing offenders to

justice. A few weeks since Mr. Folkard detained a
piece of plate worth £25, and won by an English

horse on a French racecourse. It had been stolen
from a box while in transit at a wharf on the banks
of the river. The thieves were convicted yesterday
afternoon. The:prisoner asked for the loan of 255. on a
lady's new seal skin coat. Daniel Eldred, an assistant
to Mr.Folkard, asked her what it cost, to which she
replied " £.3." He knew that it would not be made
under £lB or £2O ; some other questions were put,
to which she replied that she lived in the White-
chapel-road, that the coat did not belong to her,
and that a Mrs. Harris, her mistress, had given it
to her to pawn. Her mistress lived in Canterbury-
street. A minute or two afterwards she said she
was not in service at all. Eldred requested her to
fetch the owner of the coat, and she said she would
do so, and left the shop. Mr. Folkard directed
Eldred to follow her, and he dogged her along the
Mile-end-road, Bow-road, and Carr bridge-heath-
road, until he met with a police-constable, and gave

her into custody. She then said she found the coat
made up into a parcel near the Royal Exchange.
George Coleman, police sergeant, No. 657 K,
stated that the prisoner did live at No. 5, Chapel-
place, the address she had given. She said her
husband, who was in the employ of Messrs. Pick-
ford, the carriers, had given her the coat and told
her to pawn it. He saw the husband on Friday
afternoon, and he said he knew nothing about the
sealskin coat, and had not seen his wife since half-
past five o'clock in the morning.
Mr. Paget said it was very probable it would turn
out the coat was stolen, and that after the many
accounts which the prisoner had given relating to
the possession of th© coat he felt justified in re-
manding the prisoner for a week. He commended
the conduct of Mr. Folkard and his assistant, who
had behaved remarkably well.
