Central Criminal Court.—This Day.

OLD COURT.

(Boforo Mr. F. Chambers, Q.C., M.P., Deputy Recorder.)

ROBBING CHURCHES.

Four boys, named Kemp, Barton (2), and Masfield, were
indicted for having on the 22d of November last broken
into Peckham Rye Congregational Chapel, and stealing
therefrom a candlestick, some gutta percha, and other
articles. The boys were aged respectively 15, 12, 10, and
9, and three of them wero so small that their heads could
scarcely be seen above the dock. They all pleaded guilty.
Other indictments charged them with having broken into
' St. John's district parochial Church, Camberwell, and also
into another church, at Camberwell, the name of which
was not mentioned. To these they pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Cooper, the barrister, said that many other churches
and chapels in and about Camberwell had been broken into,
and there was every reason to suppose by these boys.
The police gave Kemp a very bad character, and several
convictions at police courts were proved against him.
The Deputy Recorder said it was clear that Kemp was
going headlong to destruction, breaking the peace of his
father and mother when at home, and violating the laws
when abroad. It was clear, too, that the three younger
boys had acted under his direction. Although they had
pleaded not guilty to the other indictments, there could be
no doubt that they would have been convicted on them if
they had been tried. The Recorder therefore sentenced
Kemp to be imprisoned, with hard labour, in the Rouse of
Correction for six months, and after that to be sent to a
reformatory for throe years. With regard to the three
young boys, ho should sentence them to be imprisoned one
month, and then sent to a reformatory for five years. The
throe young boys cried bitterly on hearing their sentence.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TAT TERSALLS'—iast Evening.

There was an average muster of subscribers present this
day, and settling on the Lincolnshire events proceeded
smoothly. Betting on the Liverpool Steeplechase was
heavy, Alcibiade, Creole, L'Africaine, and King of Hearts
all being supported for large sums. Cortolvin, however,
remained the favourite, 9 to 1 being the highest offer
against him, but Lord Poulett's " second string"—lnnellan
—was friendless at 1,000 to 15. Mistake varied in price
from 100 to 6 to 100 to 8, the latter being his final quota-
tion. The heavy bets about Mistake, laid some time since,
were declared off, as the following notice, posted in the
room, will show :

"Wo are of opinion that Mr. 11. Morris laid 22,500 to
700 Mistake and 100 even Mistake did not start bona fide
for Baron Von Grooten. To meet the justice of the case,
as the bets were made with Baron Von Grooton's second
commissioner, who had received instructions from the
Baron to back Mistake, we hereby declare these bets to be
void.
