STEALING GOODS IN TRANSIT.—IIenry Wedge and
Samuel Lynch, carmen, were charged with stealing goods
from a bale.

This morning the attention of Inspector Alstin, of the
Thames Police, was called to Lynch, who was loading
goods, at the Aberdeen Wharf, in Wapping. After load-
ing he drove away, pulled up at the Hermitage-bridge,
over the lock of the London Dock, and waited there a
short time, and then drove his team to Hermitage-street,
and was there joined by Wedge, who was driving a horse
and cart. Wedge got into Lynch's waggon, and both ap-
peared to be doing something to the bales of goods there.
A f Ly uLal indicted something m a bag to NV edge,
who put it in his cart, and then drove off. He stopped
the horse and cart, took Wedge into custody, and asked
him what he had taken from the other van, to which he
replied, "Nothing." He seized the bag, and found its
contents to be 14 pairs of woollen hose. He asked the
prisoner how he accounted for them, to which he replied,
" Lynch gave them to me." He overhauled the goods in
Lynch's van, and found a bale had been tampered with.
One bundle of hose had been removed from a bale, and
two others were deficient. On reaching the station-house
Wedge said that Lynch gave him the property, and had
taken it out of a bale. The 14 pairs of hose were the pro-
perty of the Aberdeen Steam Shipping Company.
The prisoners were remanded.
A FOOL AND HIS MONEY.—Two young women, named
Fanny Willoughby and Sarah Jones, were charged with
being concerned with another woman named Ann Halli-
day, in stealing .£22 in gold and silver, from the person of
an elderly man named Henry Morris, in the service of Mr.
George Imsley, licensed victualler, of the Black Lieu
public-house, in New Montague-street, Whitechapel.
The prosecutor had been collecting money for his master
at Old Ford, Bow, on Friday afternoon last. He neglected
his master's interests, became intoxicated, and lost his way.
Ho met these women in Bow and took them to the Bow
Bells public-house, and treated them to rum and pork pies.
lie fell asleep with his head on the table, and after he had
been asleep some time he was aroused by Halliday, and he
missed £22, his master's money. It was in his left hand
jacket pocket when he entered the public-house. He made
no complaint whatever to the people in the house, or any
inquiry about the three women, but went straightway to
the station-house in the Bow-road, where he made his loss
known and gave a description of the women. Halliday
was taken on Friday night, and remanded by Mr. Partridge
on the following day. The prisoners Jones and Willoughby
were taken on Saturday night. The prosecutor swore
positively to them as being two of the women who ac-
companied him to the Bow Bells.
Mr. Paget remanded the prisoner; until Saturday next.
