AN AMERICAN ON ins TRAVELS.—WiIIiam Turner, a
well-dressed youth of 16, was brought before Mr. Paget
charged with stealing 101 d., the money of James Emms.
The prosecutor, a labourer, was sleeping in a room in
the Sun Coffee-house last night. It is a common lodging
house, and well regulated. The beds are separated from
each other by wooden partitions. The prisoner was sleep•
ing in a bed next to the prosecutor. This morning, while
Emms was lying on his bed, awake, he saw a hand and
arm reach over the wooden partition, take up his waist-
coat, and abstract 6d. and 4}d. from his pocket.
Emms sprung from his bed and seized the hand which
contained the money. It was the prisoner's hand, and
Emms took his money from it. The prisoner was given
into custody, and ho said to Brown, 94 II "That is all I have
taken."

The prisoner elected to be tried by a magistrate. He
was in possession of a purse containing 2s. and a carpet
bag pretty well stocked with shirts and clothes, two small
books, and a pamphlet. lie said, in answer to the magis-
trate, that his home was in America. He was now on his
travels. He came hero to see the country. He had no
other business hero. He had only boon in England a fort-

night.
Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoner to three months' im-
prisonment and hard labour.
SINGULAR CHARGE OF ROBBERY.—Elizaboth Dowsett,
aged 46, a charwoman, of No. 29, Denmark-terrace, East
Ham, Essex, was charged with stealing £9 Gs. in gold and
silver, a fall, two pairs of kid gloves, two pairs of silk
stockings, a pair of mohair stockings, a flannel petticoat,
and other articles, the monies -and property of Mr. John
Clarke, a gentleman residing at No. 95, Camberwell-road,
Bow.
The prisoner was charing at Mr. Clarke's house on
Saturday last, and she prepared the Sunday's dinner and
purchased some grocery for Mrs. Clark. The prisoner
slept on a couch in the bed room occupied by two boys on
Saturday night. At 7 o'clock on Sunday morning the
prisoner was missing, the front door was open, and
the back door unbolted. There' was no reason
to suppose that any person had entered the house from
without. None of the family had been disturbed. In the
course of the night Mrs. Clark missed her purse, contain-
ing 165., from her dress pocket, and £1 10s. in gold, £1 in
silver, and the articles above mentioned had been stolen
from a wardrobe and from drawers. The wardrobes and
drawers were closed on. Saturday night. They were open
on Sunday morning. Soon after Mr. and Mrs. Clark
missed their money and property one of their boys was
despatched to East Ham with directions to ask the prisoner
for Mrs. Clark's purse. The boy said "Please Mrs.
Dowsett mother has missed her purse ; have you soon it."
The prisoner said "Yes; Mary Ann was just coming
up with it." The prisoner sent her daughter with
the purse to Mr. Clarke's dwelling. Nothing was then
said about the loss of £1 10s. in gold, £4 in silver, and
other articles. The case was put into the hands of the
police, and Sergeant Ripp, 5 H, arrested the prisoner, and,
when he did so was threatened by the prisoner's husband
with personal violence. None of the property was traced
to the prisoner, and the only circumstance of suspicion
besides the possession of the purse was that one of the boys
saw the prisoner with his mother's dress after Mr. and
Mrs. Clarke had gone to bed.
The prisoner loudly protested her innocence, and ac-
cused Mrs. Clarke of being an u*truthful and drunken wo-
man, which was denied on the other side.
Mr. Paget considered there was no case against the pri-
soner, and discharged her.

in Nicaragua, should have been headed "The International
Atlantic and Pacific Jnaction Railway and Land Company
