BOW-STREET.

On Saturday Mr. Thurston, of Catherine-street,
Strand, one of the churchwardens of St. Mary-le-
Strand, waited upon Mr. HALLS, and stated that
measures had been taken on the part of the parish
to allay the fears of the inhabitants of Russell-
court, and the adjoining neighbourhood, with re-
spect to the burial-ground which had been the sub-
ject of complaint. The grave for the reception of
the man who had died of cholera, had been removed
farther from the house occupied by Mr. Abrahams,
and care had been taken to dig it a sufficient depth.
Mr. Thurston added, that in consequence of the
statement which had appeared in the papers, the
Secretary of State for the Home Department had
sent Dr. M'Cann that morning to examine into the
alleged grievance, and report the result. The Doc-
tor had accordingly visited the burial-ground, and
had also gone round the parish for the purpose of
inspection, and having satisfied himself on every
point connected with the health of the inhabitants,
he wrote the following certificate, which he (Mr.
Thurston) hoped would satisfy the Magistrates that
the parish authorities were not to blame:—

" August 4.
" Memorandum.—Hasing this day visited the parish
of St. Mary-le-Strand and the burial ground thereof, and
inquired into the circumstances connected with the burial
of a pauper who had died of cholera, and was buried in
the above-mentioned ground on Thursday last, I do
hereby certify, that in my opinion there is no just ground
of complaint against the parochial officers, the precautions
taken by them with respect to the burial of the said body
being fully sufficient to prevent any danger.
" F. M'CANN, M.D."

Mr. HALLS said that this certificate wa's quite sa-
tisfactory, and he hoped it would appear so to the
complaining parties.
Mr. Thurston said, that the statement in the pa-
pers conveyed an Imputation that the parish officers
had neglected their duty, whereas every exertion
had been made by his colleagues and himself to pre-
serve the health of the parishioners. At present
there was no case of cholera in the parish, and only
four had occurred.

Mr. HALLS could not but observe, that the state-
ment in the newspapers had produced a very good
effect. Publicity in all such cases was the best
means of remedying abuses.

Mr. Thurston then retired.
MARY LBB ONE.

James Field, alias Edwards, alias Hill (who has
already served seven years on boards the hulks), and
John Hurley alias Greig, two notorious house-
breakers, were re-examined on Saturday, for
breaking into the dwelling-house of Mrs. Casatnai-
jor, of Manchester-square. No fresh evidence was
adduced.

The prisoners were fully committed on the
charge, but ordered to be brought up again, as other
cases are to be brought forward against them.

WORSHIP. STREET.

Browne and Solomons, the two men who were
remanded a few days since, for being concerned in
eight robberies at hotels and other places of public
resort, were brought up for re-examination on Sa-
turday. Another man, named Smith, was also
placed at the bar. It appeared that Smith bad been
recently released from Clerkenwell, where he had
been committed for two months, for stealing a silk
umbrella from the Jerusalem cofee-house, Cornhill.
The landlord of the Coach and Horses, city, iden-
tified him as a visitor at his house, in company with
the prisoners Browne and Solonions ; and it was
proved, that when taken into custody, he was in
possession of a quantity of pawnbrokers' duplicates.
The evidence in the eight cases already reported
having been read over, the following new cases were
entered into :

In the latter end of June, James Harvey, valet
to Captain Fobbs, who lodged at Joy's hotel, Bond-
street, put a coat, which his master had worn only
a day, into a drawer in his dressing-room. On the
Monday following, that and another were missed.
The coat in question was pawned at the shop of
Mr. Walter, 106, Aldersgate-street, but not by any
of the prisoners. A porter named Collins, said he
was receiving some instructions from Lord Tor-
rington, in the coffee-room of Joy's hotel, one day
in the latter end of June, and he saw the prisoner
Browne pass along the hall with a coat on his arm.
His suspicions were excited; and, on leaving Lord
Torrington, he followed Browne, who was accom-
panied 19y another man, whom he firmly believed to
have been the prisoner Smith.

In June, a new coat and other articles were left
for Captain Webb, at St. Stephen's hotel.
They were stolen the day after delivery. The
coat was pledged by Browne, at Mr. Cassell's,
pawnbroker, in Old-street. The duplicate was
found in the house of Solomons, who stated that
" he was in the habit of purchasing duplicates."
It was stated that other charges would be brought
forward; Mr. BROUGHTON therefore remanded all
the prisoners; but, as the evidence against Smith
was very slight, he admitted him to buil.
