man, was placed at the bar, charged with breaking and
entering the dwelling-house of Mr. Hamilton, 12, Wilton-
place, Knightsbridge, and stealing jewellery and other
articles.

Mr. Hamilton said that on Monday evening his house

and the police there. The property missed and described
had been purloined from the upper apartments of the house.
Mr. Arnold—How had they obtained an entrance ?
Prosecutor—They had broken into an empty house close
to me, and had from thence got access by coming over the
roofs and opening an attic window.

Amelia Spencer, lady's-maid to Miss Savoy, who. occu-
pies apartments in Mr. Hamilton's house, said that between
9 and 10 on Monday night she was going up stairs when
she saw two men leaving her mistress's bedroom. The
men rushed up the attic stairs and escaped by the way they
had entered. Witness believed the prisoner to be one of
the men.

Mr. Arnold—Were you close to them?
Witness —I was. One of thorn blew my candle out
on the stairs, and they swore they would break my
neck if I did not go away. After that I gave the alarm,
and the police were sent for.
George Wallett, groom to Major MPherson, said ho was
passing prosecutor's on Monday night, and saw prisoner
and another jump from the grxdon wall next door into the
street.

Other evidence was given in support of tho charge.
Prisoner was remanded.

A MARINE BURGLAR.—John THAMES
Smith, a bargeman, was
brought before Mr. Partridge charged with breaking into
and entering the cabin of the ship Calcutta, in the East
India Dock, and stealing a tablecloth, some brandy, and
biscuits therefrom.

John Tomlinson, a night watchman, stated that at half-
past 4 o'clock this morning he was walking along the quay
and heard a knocking on board the Calcutta. Ho imme-
diately boarded the vessel and saw the prisoner lying on
his back on the deck floor just outside the cabin door. He
spoke to him and asked him what business ho had there, to
which he made no reply. He then aroused the shipkeeper.
George Sharp, shipkeeper of the Calcutta, said he dis-
covered that a case of brandy had been broken open and a
bottle taken out. The tablecover was also missing. The
bread locker had been plundered.
William West, a. dock constable, stated that the cabin
door of the Calcutta was found open, and an entrance ob-
tained. The end cf a wooden pileher, or staff, with two
large iron hooks at the end, was found in the cabin. it had
been used in breaking open the door, and did not belong
to the ship. The prisoner was asked what he did on
board, to which he replied, "Ask my employer." He asked
who his employer was, and he declined to make any
answer. The prisoner afterwards said he belonged to an
empty barge called the William, alongside the Calcutta.
Ho went on board the barge and found a table-cover on
the beam which crossed the barge and a bottle
half filled with brandy ill
There was a long staff on board, secured by a lock
of it, with the iron hooks,
and fastenings. The head the corner of the barge..
found on board the Calcutta, had been cut off with a
knife, and it must have taken some time to have done so.
The staff was, of course, spoiled. The prisoner was in-
toxicated, and smelt strongly of brandy.
The ship-keeper of the Calcutta was recalled, and said
the table-cover, valued at 155., was the property of Capt.
Jopp, the master of the Calcutta. The bottle of brandy
had been taken out of a case.
The prisoner, in defence, said ho was a lighterman, that
he was 35 years of ago, and dwelling at N 0.20, Checksand-
eeWhitechapel, that ho was stupidly drunk last night,
and didt not know what ho was about.
Mr. Partridge committed the prisoner for trial.

ACCIDENT TO A BARRISTER.—Mr. Charles
uee2
FATAL ine
Tst a.
state
Newton, barrister, of No. 5, Brick-Court, Temple,
was found lying dead, yesterday morning, at the bottom of
the flight of stairs leading to his chambers. Dr. Reed, a
friend of the deceased gentleman, called upon him on
Tuesday evening, when he complained of being unwell and
very feverish. Dr. Reed left him about 10 o'clock, and it
appears that he was not seen alive after that hour. "The
next morning, yesterday, he was found by Mr. Lock, lying,
as stated, at the bottom of the staircase, and it is supposed
that in walking down in the dark he missed his footing, and
fell with great force on his head. His death must have
been instantaneous. Mr. Newton bad for several years
past attended the Northern Circuit. The deceased was
unmarried, and his friends, who reside in Yorkshire, have
been communicated with. Ho was called to the bar in 1816,
, and was about 46 years of ago.
