DOUBTFUL ClLllZGE.—Satnuel Caudland, a young
man said to be well known to the police, was charged
on suspicion with stealing a gold watch, the property
of Mr. James Richard Naylor, an officer of the
Crown Office of the House of Lords, in the Court
of Exchequer on the previous day.
The prosecutor said—l live at Islington. I was
in the Court of Exchequer yesterday afternoon.
The prisoner was in front of me. An argument
between Mr. Bovill and the Lord Chief Baron
created some amusement, and as it took my atten-
tion I felt a tug at my watch chain, and immedi-
ately I missed my gold watch. The prisoner at
that moment bolted from the court, and I fol-
lowed him. As I passed some curtains just
outside the court I missed the prisoner, and
in looking for him found him rolled up as it were in
the curtain. I seized him, and said I thought he had
got my watch ; he denied it, and then two con-
stables came, and they went to the address he gave,
and also to where he said ho was going for work.
Cross-examined by the prisoner—l was not per-
suaded to charge you by the police. Twenty mi-
nutes elapsed before 1 gave you in custody. I wanted
to know your character.
W. Terrill, 590 A, proved that prisoner gave the
right address.

—James Jones, 125 A, proved that he weat to
where prisoner said he was going to work, and found
the person he mentioned ha lived at the house, but
had left.

Prisoner said the prosecutor did not wish to
charge him, but when ho had been long persuaded
by the police, and they knew he had been in trouble
before then, and that after a lapse of an hour was
he charged.
The watch was not found, although the place had
been searched.

Detective Sergeant Costhorpe wished to prove the
prisoner's former bad character, but
Mr. Arnold remanded him till Wednesday.
