SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.

The exhibition of flowers which took place here yesterday
attracted crowds of visiters. The whole place presented a
scene of great animation. Several tents were pitched through-
out its grounds, in some of which the floral display took place,
and in others refreshments were served out. A band of the
guards also attended the fete, and played at intervals during
the whole of the day. The flowers made a very choice collec-
tion, particularly those which had been cut. An exhibition
got up by the Metropolitan Society of Florists also took place
yesterday in the Regent's-park. The arrangement which
brought the two at once before the public was certainly in want
of judgment ; and, if it originated from any sinister feeling on
one side or the other, nothing could be more discreditable.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
(THIS DAY.)

OLD jOURT.

William Hedges, aged 28, was indicted for stealing four
bushels of oats, the property of Thomas Wright, his master.
The prisoner, who had pleaded " Not Guilty " when ar-
raigned with others, now wished to retract that plea, and to
plead " Guilty."
The prosecutor recommended the prisoner to mercy, be-
lieving it to be his first offence.
Thomas Walker, aged 14, was indicted for stealing a truck,
value 21., the property of Thomas White.
It appeared that the prisoner hired the truck of the prose-
cutor, pretending that he was sent by a person named Baylis,
one of the prosecutor's customers. As the prisoner did not
return according to his engagement inquiry was made, and the
truck was found at the shop of a wheelwright in Bagnigge
Wells-road, to whom the prisoner had sold it, and had given a
receipt for the money, which he signed " G. Cabel."
The Jury returned a verdict of—Guilty.
The prisoner being an old offender, was told that he
must be sent to the hulks.

Richard Henry Farebrother, aged 26, was indicted for em-
bezzling the sum of 61. 1I s. 6d., the property of William
Priett, his master and employer.
It appeared that the prisoner was in the service of the
prosecutor, an auctioneer, in Great Charlotte-street, Black-
friars-road, and absconded on the loth of February, when
some furniture was missed, and it was discovered that he
had sold it to a person named Cogger, a lodger in the pro-
secutor's house, for the sum laid in the indictment, for the
receipt of which he had not accounted.
The prisoner said in his defence that he was robbed in
the street of the money he received, and being unable to
make it up, ho was compelled to abscond.
Some witnesses gave the prisoner a good character.
The Jury found the prisoner—Guilty.
The COURT sentenced him to 3 months imprisonment and
hard labour in the House of Correction.
