/ROBBERY BY A LINENDRAPER'S SHOPMAN.—Etenry
Chatfield, a young man, was brought before Mr. Partridge,
charged with robbing his master.
Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, stated the case for the
prosecution. The prisoner had been in the service of Mr.
Joseph Dempsey, a draper, of No. 49, Crisp-street, Poplar,
for the last five months at a salary of £2O per annum, with
board ,and lodging. The prosecutor had missed a good
deal of property in the course of that time. This morning
he missed two shirts and two pairs of drawers from his
stock. Mr. Dempsey called the prisoner and six other
assistants together and told them he had missed property,
and if they were honest they would not object to have
their boxes searched. The prisoner and another offered
their keys. Mr. Dempsey refused to take them.
After that the prosecutor found the young men's
bedroom door locked. Mr. Dempsey went to the police-
station and brought back a constable, whom he left out-
side the door, and took the prisoner with two others into
the room. Another man's box in the room was searched

pairs of socks, and four pairs of drawers, valued in all .£2
2s. 6d. The whole were new and the property of Mr.
Dempsey. Two coloured shirts produced were in the
shop 10 days ago and had not been sold. The prisoner
had admitted taking the property.

GREENWICH.—A meeting will be held here next
Wednesday in support of the Government bill. Mr. J. S.
Mill has been asked to act as chairman ; and the borough
members, the Liberal members for boroughs in Sent, and
the Liberal candidates for the county will be invited to
attend.

THE FORTHCOMING ELECTION COMMITTEES.—
The following election committees will be chosen next
week, namely :---Lewis, Cambridge, Reigate, Wexford,
Horsham, Maidstone, Helston, and Bridgwater. It is not
expected, however, that any of these committees will meet
for actual business till the Tuesday in the following week
THE LODGER FRANCHISE.—The revising barristers
must be alarmed at the prospect of a lodger fran-
chise. A house appears upon the rate-book with a value
attached to it, and therefore the overseers have no great
difficulty in making out a list of the occupiers entitled to
vote. But it is otherwise with lodgers. The overseers
cannot possibly ascertain who occupy lodgings of the
e
requisite value. Of necessity lodgers must not only make
be objected to if not qualified, but they

that he can dispatch one case in ten minutes—and this is
the shortest time in which all the inquiries can be made
into rent, value, time, &c., necessary to establish a right to
vote—a day of seven hours will suffice for forty only, and
four hundred will occupy ten days. The savings-bank
franchise must be equally the subject of yearly investiga-
tion. This practical view of the question does not appear
to have occurred to any person either in Parliament or in

the press.—The Law fimes of to-day.
, BISLIOPRIC OF N ATAL.—It is intended th at
the new Bishop in South Africa shall be Bishop of Maritz-
burg, not Bishop of Natal, that being the title of Dr •
Colenso, who will of course maintain his legal rights in
opposition to his Episcopal rival. It is generally under-
stood that the gentleman selected by Bishop Gray for the
bishopric of Maritzburg is the Venerable Hugh Hyndmae
Jones, M.A., archdeacon of Demerara, in the diocese oi
Guiana. He was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge
where he graduated in 1838, when he was fourth senior
optime in the mathematical tripos. He was in early life
curate of St. Bride's, Fleet-street, and of St. George's
Hanover-square, after which he became assistant secre-
tary to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospenl n
i
Foreign Parts. In 1854 he was appointed archdeaco of
Demerara and rector of St. George's Cathedral church.
These offices he has held up to the present time. After
his consecration the diocese of Natal will have two
bishops ruling the same body of clergy, one
,appointed by
the Queen, the other by the Metropolitan. The Queen's
bishop will not bo acknowledged any longer by the
Church at ,home, as the Archbishop of Canterbury has
determined that communion with him must
cease
