A POLITE WAY OF STEALING.—G. Hamilton was charged
with stealing a suit of clothes, the property of the guardians
of the poor of St. John the Evangelist.
T. Waterman, superintendent of the casual ward at St.
John's, said prisoner was admitted as a pauper on March 1,
and remained until the 10th. Last Sunday week he and
several others were allowed to go out to church at 9.30,
and prisoner never returned. He had on parish trousers,
jacket, stockings, waistcoat, and shirt, value 30s. Last
night he apprehended the prisoner coming out of the Par-
ker-street Refuge, Drury-lane. He had on only the waist-
coat (the buttons of which he had altered) and the stock-
fngs, and said he had sold the others to a strange man for
Be. The value of the things stolen was 255.
Prisoner said the jacket was full •f holes, and had
been warn twelve months before. Re always tried to do
his work satisfactorily when he was in the house. He
could not get work in the workhouse clothes and so he sold
them. Re had no way to get a living except by stealing,
his clothes were not fit to do a job in. He thought it was
only a polite way of getting clothes.
Mr. Pelle said it was substantially stealing. He was
liable to be sent to prison for three months as a rogue and
vagabond ; this was only a polite way of stealing what
did not belong to him. He should sentence him to six
weeks' hard labour.

DEAN MILMAN is to occupy the chair at the
Literary Fund Dinner on the 15th of May.
JERUSALEM, according to some recent statistics, is
still, in some reepocts, the City of the Jews. It is found
that there are 7,000 Jewish inhabitants, 5,000 Mahometans,
and 3,400 Christians in the place. _ _ _

SIR MOSES MONTEFIORE.—The philanthropic and
benevolent Hebrew baronet, Sir Moses Montefiore, has
determined, since his return last spring from the Holy
Land, to erect another hospice at Jerusalem for the resi-
dence of several poor Israeiitish families. It is proposed
that the building shall be on a large scale, and built near
to that which was erected in 1859.

EDUCATION.—A return has just been published
which shows that the number of candidates who presented
themselves for examination at the training colleges at
Christmas, 1866, was 1,614, against 1,555 at the previous
Christmas, of whom 1,207 passed their examination,
against 1,306 at the previous Christmas. The number of
those who entered the training colleges in January, 1867,
was 1,121, against 1,215 in January, 1866; and the num-
ber of pupil teachers apprenticed in 1866 was 3,070, against
2,631 in the previous year.
ALLEGED MURDER.—At the Manchester assizes
on Saturday, Alfred Thomas Heap, aged 33 years, was
charged with having murdered Phoebe Locke, at Manches-
ter, in February last. From the evidence it appeared that
Mrs. Locke was the wife of a chemist and druggist, carry-
ing on business in the neighbourhood of Manchester. The
prisoner, although he was said to have practised as a
surgeon, was not legally qualified to do so. It was alleged
that he had caused the death of Mrs. Locke by attempting
to procure abortion. After a leng;hened trial a verdict of
not guilty was returned on the first count, charging him
with murder, and the prosecution intimated that they
would indict him on the second count, which charged him
with intent to procure abortion.
THE ALLEGED MURDER IN BERMONDSEY.—The
coroner's inquiry respecting the circumstances attending
the death of the man Michael Walton, who had been
found insensible in Long-walk, Bermondsey, was con-
cluded, at Guy's Hospital, on Saturday evening. It will
be remembered that the police at first thought the man
was intoxicated, and treated him as if nothing else ailed
him. Afterwards they took him to the hospital, where he
died in about three hours. A verdict of "Manslaughter"
against some person or persons unknown was returned.
It has been decided by the National Rifle Asso-
ciation that the Easter Monday volunteer review shall be
held at Dover.
