COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Before the Lord Chief Justico and Mr. Justice

• Mellor.)
TUCK V. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.
This was a special meeting, which involved the
question whether the well-known plot of ground in
the centre of Leicester-square was irrevocably
given to the inhabitants as a pleasure or recreation-
ground, or whether at the expiration of the leases,
whose expiration had just occurred, the leases have
been for 99 years, the right did not revert to the
possessor of the ground, and that he could with-
out any interruption do what he chose with it,
such as building on it, &c. It was urged that so
long as a single person remained the right of
the enjoyment of it remained likewise, and
that no disturbance and interference could
be exercised by any one, although the
whole of the surrounding buildings might be-
long to him. There was, it was contended, a pre-
scriptive right of this kind secured by a conveyance
of the property from the elder Tuck to the younger,
and another from the latter to a person named
•Elers. On the other hand, it was argued that the
inhabitants had been in the habit of paying
the sum of a guinea or two guineas a year
for the use or privilege of enjoying the square, and
consequently this would show that it was not looked
upon as a right, but as much to be obtained by
paying for it as the lease each tenant held, and
that it was held by the same as the houses, and
when the lease expired the right reverted to the
original possessor.

The Attorney-General and Mr. Mellish, Q.C.,
appeared for the parties, and the arguments con-
tinued till the Court rose.

MARLBOROUG 11-STREE P.

COFFEE-HOUSE ROBBERY BY FRENCHMEN.--
Two Frenchmen, named Charles Martin and Pierro
Masson, were charges before Mr. Tyrwhitt with
stealing two blankets, the property of Mr. Thomas
Whitlock, the keeper of a coffee-house, at No. 46,
Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square.
Mr. Albert interpreted.

Mr. Whitlock said that last night the two pri-
soners came to him and engaged a bed. They
slept together, and that morning, about eight
o'clock, they came down stairs and behaved in the
coolest manner, one of them smoking a cigarette.
Noticing that the prisoners were rather bulky in
their appearance, ho sent upstairs to ascertain
whether anything was missing, and findin g
that two blankets were gone he went after
them and gave them into custody.
Charles Shaw, 125 E, said that he took the pri-
soners into custody and to the station, where Martin
admitted having a blanket, and a blanket was found
on each of them and 27 keys of various kinds,
mostly keys capable of opening drawers and cup-
boards, but one, a skeleton key, was found upon
Martin.

Sergeant Head, 2 E, asked for a remand, which
Mr. Tyrwhitt at once granted.

SINGULAR CASE OF ROBBERY.—Robert Henry
M'Culloch and Hannah M'Culloch, husband and
wife, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with steal-
ing two black mantles, the property of Mr. Georg©
Robinson, of the Feathers Tavern, Warren-street,
Tottenham-court-road.

A number of duplicates relating to sheeting
were found on the female prisoner, and there is
every reason to believe that the prisoners have been
in the habit of stealing sheets from coffee-houses and
taverns where they have lodged.

Mr. Robinson, landlord of the Feathers tavern,
Warren-street, Tottenham Court-road, said that on
the 11th June last the male prisoner was seen com-
ing down the stairs of his house with a black bundle
under his arm, but as he was a customer at the
house, he was not suspected of having taken any
thing till a day or two afterwards. Two black cloth
mantles were missed from the second floor landing,

and information was afterwards given to the police •
Yesterday afternoon he (M.r. Robinson) saw the
prisoner in a publichouse in Titchfield-street, and
gave him into custody, when he denied all know"
ledge of the mantles. The female prisoner came to
the station after the male prisoner, and the inspec-
tor said that she had better be brought in, and
when she came in she was found wearing one of
the stolen mantles, it then having been found
on the male prisoner on the 12th of June, when b°
was taken into custody on another charge, and for
which he was sent to prison.
Miss Joseph Robinson said that on the 11th of
June she saw the male prisoner come down stairs
with a bundle and leave the house, and Mrs. Eliza-
beth Robinson identified the mantles as her pro
perty, she having made them.
Police-constable Edwards, 52 E, said that on the
12th .Tune last he took the male prisoner into cus-
tody for stealing a cushion from a carriage iu
Russell-square, and at that time he had one of the
cloaks in his possession, which he said was made 11
his wife. He was sentenced to three months' bard
labour.
Sergeant Head, 2 C, said that he to3k the finale
prisoner into custody yesterday afternoon, and olio
telling him the charge, he said it was " a mistake,
and appeared to 1.L.1 surprised.
e
Mr. Tyrwhitt sc.id he had no doubt the prisoner
was surprised.
Sergeant Head said that on the male prisoner!'
bad half-crown was found, and on the female pri-
soner, who was charged with being concerned lil
the robbery, 13 duplicates all relating to sheets
_
which he had reason to believe had been stolen from
coffeehouses or taverns, and for which he thought
he could find owners.
Mr. 'Tyrwhitt committed the prisoners, who 115 d
nothing to say, for trial.
