A CRIMEAN HBA.

At the Worship-street Police-court, on Saturda_AP
Elizabeth Produce, a married woman, was charg'
with stealing a war medal.
James Bancroft, a fine tall fellow, aril ill
the service of the Eastern Counties Railway Cote'
pang, and on. this (Saturday) afternoon, while
passing along a street in Shoreditch, with 0;1,4
onions in my hand, a man, who was a perle'„
stranger to me, knocked some of them out of re;
hand. While remonstrating with him the Plii;
soner came up and said she was his wife, at
same instant I felt her take my watch from
waistcoat pocket. I got possession of that, allit
then she snatched a medal from my breast oat; it
had four clasps, and I fear it is lost, for she git"ig
to a man, who ran away instantly. I have been
four great battles, namely, Alma, Inkerman, 138„at
klava, and Sebastopol. In the second engageln;ad,
I was twice wounded. I have a medal for gks
conduct in the field, and another from the Turer.
for bravery. I also produce a certificate of roY
vices from my captain. This note ran as followo .3a
" Private James Bancroft, of the 3d e

masses, attempted to possess themselves a s`-the

A burst of enthusiasm followed the reading 0

sadly changed when, in answer to the martir-ic-
