_

as in 1859, there should be a general strike against
all firms to make another effort for the nine hours'

limit. But for the extremely reduced state of the
trades unions' coffers there is not the least doubt

but that the leaders would make this attempt.

CENTRAL C.RIMINAL, COURT.-April 10,

OLD COURT.

Edward Holland, 22, a Post-office letter-carrier,
was charged with stealing an order for the payment
of £690 7s. 3d., the property of the Postmaster-
General.

Mr. Clerk and Mr. Poland prosecuted on behalf
of the Post-office authorities. The prisoner had no
counsel.

The facts of this case have appeared very recently
in the Mansion-house police report. The prisoner
was a letter-carrier, and part of his duty was also
to sort the letters at the General Post-office in St.
Martin's-le-Grand, and it appeared that on the 25th
of January a letter was sent by the Religious Tract
Society of Edinburgh to Mr. Jones, the manager of
the Religious Tract Society of London, 56, Pater-
noster-row, which contained a remittance to that
society in the form of a cheque upon Messrs. Glyn
and Co., Lombard-street, for the sum of £690 7s. 3d.
The letter, in due course, would have arrived at the
General Post-office in London on the morning of
Saturday, the 26th of January, on which day the
prisoner was employed in sorting, as usual, and he
had, consequently an opportunity of taking it; but
although there was no positive evidence that he had
done so, the letter never reached its destination and
the facts that subsequently transpired left no rea-
sonable doubt that the prisoner had secreted it
while in the course of sorting the letters, or impro-
perly obtained possession of it in some other man-
ner. On Monday, the 28th, the cheque was pre-
sented at Messrs. Glyn's, with, apparently, the en-
dorsement of Mr. Jones, to whose order it was made
payable, upon it, and it was paid with twelve £5O
notes, and £9O in gold, and the remainder in small
cash, and one of the clerks in the bank at the time
identified the prisoner as the person by whom the
cheque was presented. He had at this time leave
of absence, and he was away from duty, and al-
though of course, the loss of the letter and the
cheque was speedily discovered no clue was obtained
to the party by whom the robbery was committed
until the 25th of March, but this additional inci-
dent occurred on the day the money was obtained
from Messrs. Glyn's. It appeared that on that day
some person presented himself at the Bank of
England and asked for change for three £5O notes.
They were handed to a gentleman named Dean,
who observed that upon each note there was written
the name of Richard Jones, and the address, 40,
Prebend-street, Islington, and he turned from the
counter and looked at the London Directory, and
discovered that there was no No. 40 in that street,
and when he returned to the counter the person
who had brought the notes had disappeared, leav-
ing them behind, and they turned out to be three
of the £5O notes that were given for the cheque.
The only explanation given by the prisoner for his
possession of the notes was that he had found them.
The prisoner, when called upon for his defence,
repeated the statement that he had picked up the
notes in a bundle, and he admitted that he had
endeavoured to appropriate them to his own use,
and said that he was very sorry he had done so.
The learned judge having summed up the evi-
dence, _

Mr. Leigh ordered the prisoner to be remanded

THAMES.—Peter Debock, aged 35, of No. 4,
Sclater-street, Bethnal-green, silk dealer ; Joseph
Barker, 29, of No. 2, Hope-street, Spitalfields,
shoemaker ' William Crane, 41, late porter in the
servive of Messrs. Drakeford and Co., silk mer-
chants in Great Winchester-street, City, and who
at the time of his apprehension was dwelling at
No. 8, Brunswick-place, Hoxton ; and John
Newton, 59, silk throwster and proprietor of silk
mills in Derby, were brought up on remand,
charged, the first three with stealing ten bales of
China raw silk, value £l,OOO, and Newton with
feloniously receiving the same, he well knowing it
to be stolen.
Frederick Charles Agg, the landlord of the
Clown public house, near Sadler's-wells Theatre,
and James Hunter, landlord of the Red Deer pub-
licbouse, Cambridge-heath-road, Bethnal-green,
who sold' the stolen silk to Newton, who are
seriousli implicated in the robbery, and for whoae
apprehension warrants have been granted, have
not been taken. They fled to Boulogne when they
discovered that Debock and Barker were arrested
in Derby with £lOO in their possession, part of the
money received for the silk, and they are supposed
to be still in France.
Inspector Holloway, of the H division of police,
said that on the afternoon of Saturday, the 23d
ult., he went to the premises of Messrs. Drakeford
and Co., silk merchants, in Great Winchester-street
City, where Crane had been for many years em-
ployed as a porter. He saw Crane, called him into
the street, and informed him that he had waited
upon him to make inquiries relating to ten bales of
silk stolen on the river in the course of their transit
from the West India Dock to the St. Katharine
Dock. He asked the prisoner if the ten bales of
silk had anything to do with the firm of Drakeford
and Co. The prisoner replied, "No ; they have
nothing whatever to do with it,, and know nothing
about it." He then cautioned the prisoner, and
asked him what he had to say about the ten
bales of silk. The prisoner in reply stated,
" Very welh a man I don't know came to
me last Monday at the end of the street, and asked
me which was the best way of sending goods into
the country. I asked him what description of
goods they were, and the man replied ten bales of
silk. I said Pickford and Co.'s vans would be the
best "and safest conveyance to send them by, and
the man said, Very well; if you will go along
with me they are in Hope-street, Spitalfields.' The
prisoner also said, " I went along with the man,
thinking it was no harm, and that it wes only a
friend assisting a friend." He asked Crane if he
knew the man he had accompanied to Hope-street,
Spitalfields. Crane said, in answer to that question,
" No, I never saw him before or since ; he was a
perfect stranger t o me." He then took the prisoner
into custody and conveyed him to the station-
house in Leman-street. In answer to Mr. Hudson,
the inspector said that the names of Messrs. New-
ton and Sons, of Derby, or John Nelvton, of Derby,
were not mentioned by the prisoner in the conver-
sation which took place. He did not ask Crane if
he knew to whom the goods were consigned, or if
he knew they were going to Derby. He was not
aware that the prisoner had been for many years
in Drakcford's employ. He had heard so.
Mr. Charles Rowbotham, the landlord of the
George Inn at Derby, said,—Con Tuesday,the 19th
of March, the day mail from London arrived at 10
minutes to one o'clock. A few minutes afterwards
Debock and Barker came to my house, and each
asked if they could have a bed. They were I
told there was only one spare bed in
the house, and that one of them could be accommo-
dated with a sofa in my parlour. Debock agreed
to sleep on a bed and Barker on a sofa.
While Debock and Barker were partaking of some
refreshments Mr. Newton came into my house. He
took no notice of Debock and Barker, and they took
no notice of him. They did not seem to know each
other. My wife gave Debock a light and pointed
out the way to his bedroom. Debock, on receiving
the lighted candle, pointed to Newton, and said,
" I know that gentleman at the bar-door ;it is Mr.
Newton ; but he does not know me. Don't say I
have been asking for him ; don't tell him I have
gone upstairs, or he will perhaps want to come to
me." That was all that took place that night. I
called them both up in the morning—I mean Barker
and Debock; and after breakfasting they asked me
where Mr. Newton's mill was. I directed them to
Agard-street, Derby, and they paid their reckoning
and left. About 8 the same evening both men came
into my house. Each called for a glass of ale, which
they drank. Debock got up from his chair, advanced
towards me, and took from his pocketbook a £lOO
Bank of England note, and asked me to read it for
them. He had other banknotes in his pocketbook.
He attempted to talk French as well as he could.
It was not French with an English accent. but
rather English with a French accent. I read the
note, and I told him it was a £lOO Bank of England
note and a genuine one. When I told him that, he
continued his foreign accent, and said " Thank you.
I am very much obliged to you ; I cannot read
your English notes, I have received it in town."
I asked him if he received it in a business trans-
action. He said, " Yes ; I have." After a few
more words he said, "No ; I misunderstood
you. I have not received it in a business transac-
tion ; I have taken it in change for other cash." I
said I should not like to have done so myself to a
stranger, not knowing it was a note. I went oat of
the room, Barker and Debock went into another,
and when I came back they were gone. I thought
there was something very suspicious about the
affair, and I sent for the police. I was present when

The jury at once returned a verdict of guilty and
he was sentenced to be kept in penal servitude for
six years.

POLICE lATELLIGENCE.-Aprillo.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Edward Cox, the con-
ductor (badge 517) of an omnibus plying between
the Paddington and London-bridge railway sta-
tions, and belonging to the General Omnibus Com-
pany, attended before Alderman Rose, to answer a
summons charging him with demanding and taking
from a passenger more than the legal fare.
The complaint was preferred under the Hackney
Carriages Act (the 6th and 7th of Victoria, cap.
86), the 33d section of which makes it an offence
punishable with a fine of 20s. for the driver of any
such carriage to refuse to admit and carry at the
lawful fare any passenger for whom there shall be
room, and to whose admission no reasonable objec-
tion shall be made, or to demand more than the
legal fare. Another section of the same statute
renders it incumbent on the proprietor of every
metropolitan hackney carriage to " keep distinctly
painted in a conspicuous manner, on the inside of
it, a table of fares to be demanded of passengers,
and the fares thereon specified shall be deemed to
be the only lawful fares."
On Thursday last the complainant, Mr. Edwin
Johns, residing in Poland-street, Oxford-street,
hailed the defendant's omnibus at the corner of
Wardour-street, Oxford-street. Some few minutes
previously he stood waiting for a 3d. omnibus, of
which there are many on that line, and allowed
one or two to pass, the fare by which was 4d. He
was induced to stop the defendant's omnibus by
seeing pasted on the outside of the door a large
placard, on which were printed the words " From
Edgware-road to London-bridge, 3d.," the figure
"3" being some five or six inches long. He pre-
ferred riding outside, and before getting upon
the roof he stood for a moment on the foot-
board, upon which the defendant told him he
would have to pay ls. for riding there, holding
out his hand at the same time. Thinking he was
joking, the complainant ridiculed the idea of pay-
ing is., and said he should pay him the fare mark-
ed outside the door—namely, 3d. He would not
have hailed the omnibus if he had not seen the 3d.
fare marked outside, because he had been charged
4d. before for riding the same distance by another
omnibus. On his declining to pay Is. the defen-
dant demanded that he should get down, but that
he also refused to do until he got to his destination.
At Farringdon-street the omnibus stopped to allow
a passenger to alight, and on passing along Cheap-
side the defendant mounted the roof and collected
the fares of the passengers there. The complainant,
who did not see what any of them paid, refused to
pay his own until he arrived at the Bank, upon
which the defendant, taking out .a pocket-book, re-
quested to know his address, but he declined to
give it until he got to the end of his journey. On
arriving at the Bank, where the complainant was
set down, the defendant demanded Is. from him,
which he refused to pay in the first instance, and
appealed to Police-constable Thurlow on duty there,
to assist in settling the dispute. The defendant thep
opened the door of the omnibus and pointed to a
moveable plate inside the door, on -which was
painted " Express fare, ls.". That moveable plate
covered the whole of the ordinary fares, which were
painted on the panel below it, and which corre-
sponded with those placarded outside namely,
" From Praed-street to Tottenham-court-road, 2d.;
from Edgeware-road to London-bridge railway sta-
tion, 3d.; beyond those places, 6d. On the sta-
tionary table of fares inside was painted, but in
very small letters, " Express fares, ls., without
luggage." On the advice of the constable, the com-
plainant paid the defendant is., and then summoned
him to this court.
In answer to Mr. Alderman Rose, the complain-
ant said ally one looking at the defendant's omnibus
from the street could come to no other conclusion
than that the fare was threepence.
The defendant, in answer to the charge, said his
omnibus was an " express," which ran once a day
to and from the Paddington and London-bridge
railway stations at a shilling fare, and he did not
profess to take up passengers on the road. When
the complainant got up he (defendant) told him he
would have to pay is., but, notwithstanding that,
he persisted in riding.
Mr. Alderman Rose told the defendant that by
exhibiting a large placard outside his omnibus in-
dicating that the fare for a given distance was 3d.
people were induced to ride by it, and it was not
until entering that they became aware, by looking
at the moveable plate inside, that they would be
charged is. for travelling within the prescribed
limits. Besides, outside passengers had no means
of seeing the sliding plate inside. However, by the
words, "Express fare, is.," being painted inside,
there had been a compliance, though it might be a
colourable one, with the requirement of the statute
in that respect; and as he (Alderman Rose) could

alter in most cases the stonework to iron. If these plainant that the fare would be is.
alterations are so made, they will befinal, and if the Alderman Rose said that might be, but he dis-
strike finishes this very week there will at least be played a placard conspicuously outside that the
this great mass of work irrevocably lost to the fare from Edgeware-road to London-bridge railway
trade. So, with regard to many large buildings station was 3d. Hundreds of persons travelled
now in progress, which were to have been faced daily by omnibuses where the fare was 3d. who
with stone or stone cornices and ornaments, con- could not afford, or were not disposed, to pay is.;
tracts have already been made for completing these and the effect of exhibiting such a placard outside
with terracotta. Thus the strike is daily driving was to lure people into travelling by the defendant's
employers into expedients to supply the masons' omnibuses. If a scale of fares had been painted
work, and though this may not be continued inside the omnibus, in addition to the sliding plate,
after the strike has ceased, yet the masons will he should have fined him severely; but as that was

the amount of work previously in the market, Of defendant and the company that the practice of

All the employers are now entirely agreed with The defendant asked to be repaid for his loss of

the strike was so partial and is already apparently

GUILDHALL.—Edward Chater, 52, who was
described as a traveller and collector in the employ
of Messrs. North, Simpson, and Graham, of New
Bridge-street, appeared on bail to answer the charge
of embezzling the nominal sum of £3l, but the total
amount of his defalcations was stated during the
inquiry to extend to several thousands of pounds.
Mr. Giffard, instructed by Mr. Humphreys, jun.,
appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Lewis, jun.,
for the defence.

Ald. Humphery decided that, as this was a pre-
liminary examination, he should consider defendant
as the servant of the prosecutors, and remand the
case for further inquiry.

WORSHIP-STREET.—George Wm. Sloper, a
gentleman-like man of 32, was charged with the
following robbery:
Mrs. • Maria Ellis said—My husband is a whole-
sale druggist in Bridport-place, New North-road,
and the prisoner is my brother. On the 28th ult.,
at 12 in the day, he called to see me, and as he had
been some time out of an engagement,which, as he
told me, he had not at that time obtained, we con-
versed together upon his prospects for a few mi-
nutes, when I left the room to go to the kitchen,
leaving him in the back parlour, where wehad been
talking. I had scarcely got down stairs when I
heard the sound of footsteps in the front parlour,
which I knew I had left shut, and these were fol-
io wed by others along the passage to the street door,
which was opened in a quiet, stealthy sort of man-
ner, and I suspected something wrong, and hastened
up stairs just in time to see the prisoner's back as
he descended the steps into the street. He had not
been more than seven or eight minutes in the house
altogether, and, as I thought it strange that he
should go away without taking leave of me in some
manner, it struck me to open the parlour door, and
on looking round the room I missed my husband's
watch from over the mantlepiece, where it had
been safe only a short time before the prisoner came
in. Nothing more was seen of him till to-day, when
my husband, I believe, met him in the City and
gave him into custody.
City Constable 251—1 received custody of the
prisoner to•day, and on telling him the nature of
the charge he said he was entirely innocent. No
trace of the watch has as yet been obtained.
Mr. Leigh (to the prisoner)—Do you wish to ask
the witnesses any questions ?
• Prisoner—None whatever, Sir, but I wish to re-
peat to you now that lam entirely innocent, and
that on the Thursday my sister refers to I did not
reach her house till one o'clock in the day, and
that I sat in the back room all the time till she left
me. I did not go near the front parlour. I never
saw the watch, and my hastily leaving the house
will be seen to be well accounted for when I state
that I had to meet some gentlemen in Brook-street,
Holborn, from whom I had every confidence of re-
ceiving an appointment, and suddenly found myself
almost too late to see them.

Barker and Debock were apprehended; it was done
through my instrumentality. I saw the prisoners
searched by Fearn and Vessey, two of the Derby
police ; they took three £lOO Bank of England
notes and two sovereigns from Debock, and from
Barket' one halfpenny.
In cross-examination by Mr. Leech, the witness
said that Newton was a silk manufacturer and bro-
ker in a large way of business at Derby.
Wm. Tooth, a carman in the employ of Pickford
and Co., said that on Monday, March 18, he took
10 bales of silk from No. 2, Hope-street, Spital-
fields, into ono of his employers' vans. He had 30 or
40 bales of silk in the van. The rest of his load
came from respectable houses in the city. He went
to Hope-street by the direction of the prisoner
Crane. He had suspicion about the transaction
when he saw bales of silk coming out of a small
dwelling house in Hope street, but when he saw
they were directed •to a well-known name—John
Newton, Derby—his suspicions vanished, and he
thought it was all right. Crane helped him to load
the van in Hope-street, and gave him a shilling as
a gratuity for his trouble. He took the silk to Cam-
den-town, and delivered it at the railway goods-
station there. He had known Crane many years as
porter to Drakeford and Co. Crane gave him a de-
livery note with the ten bales of silk, and he acci-
dentally lost it on his way to Camden-town.
In cross-examination by Mr. Leech, the witness
said he knew a publican named Agg, who was for-
merly in the employ of Drakeford and Co. He
believed Agg was formerly a buyer of silks for
Drakeford and Co., and left them to keep the Clown
publichouse, near Sadler's Wells Theatre. He was
not aware that Agg was a dealer in silk since he
kept the Clown, but he could have dealt in it with-
out witness knowing it.
Mr. George Hilton, superintendent of the borough
police at Derby, gave evidence of the apprehension
of Newton, Barker, and Debock at Derby • to find-
ing three £lOO-notes on Debock, and to the seizure
of the stolen silk in Newton's mill. The prisoner
Newton admitted that he had bought the silk of
Agg, and that he had had dealings with him and
Hunter, whom he knew only as silk dealers.
Mr. Selfe said that enough evidence had been
given to justify him in remanding all the prisoners
until Thursday next.

SOUTHWARK.—Sophia Jenkins, a showily-
dressed woman, was brought up for final examina-
tion, charged with stealing a watch from John
Cordes, a tradesman, residing at Mile-end.
It appeared that the prosecutor and his wife, with
a friend, had been on a visit at Walworth on Sun-
day evening, and about half-past 11 they went to
the Elephant and Castle to seek an omnibus to con-
vey them home, but they had all left. He then
called a cab, and while bargaining with the driver
to carry them the prisoner came rushing between
them, and said she had hired that cab, and if they
took it she must ride with them. She, however, sud-
denly ran away, when the prosecutor missed his
watch, it having been twisted off at the bow in the
usual thieves' way. The prosecutor's friend fol-
lowed her, and on overtaking her, charged her with
stealing the watch, when she handed it to him,
begging him to let her go; he, however, took her
back and gave her into custody. She was reman-
ded, as it was stated that she had suffered four
years' penal servitude for a similar robbery.
Mr. Burcham now asked whether there was any
evidence of that, or any former conviction ?
Denis Scannell, 177 M, a detective officer, said
that he had been informed that she had served four
years, but he had not had sufficient time to obtain
the facts ; he, however, knew her to be one of the
most expert thieves in the metropolis.
She pleaded guilty.
Mr. Burcham told her had any former conviction
been proved against her he should not have given
her that option, but have committed her for trial.
Under all the circumstances, he should punish her
with the utmost severity of the law by sentencing
her to six months' hard labour.

HAMMERSMITH.—CRim. CoN. EXTRAOItDI-
NARY—AN EASY-GOING HUSBAND.—Charles Pike,
a genteel-looking young man, wearing a moustache,
who was stated to be a floor joiner, was placed in
the dock before Mr. Inghath, charged on a warrant
with committing an assault on William Burgess, a
plumber.
Mr. Martin—l appear for the defendant, and I
would suggest the propriety of females in the court
withdrawing, as it is a case of trim. con, extraor-
dinary.
Mr. Ingham (laughing)—Mr. Martin suggests
that the ladies should retire if they think proper.
Upon this announcement all the females in the
court made a rush for the door, with the exception
of one little girl, who seemed inclined to remain
behind. However, at his worship's direction, she
was called upon to leave the court, which, she
obeyed with apparent reluctance.
The complainant was then sworn, and said—l
' live at No. 2, Beaumont-street, Shepherd's-bush.
The assault was committed on the night of the 1 ith
of March. The defendant had been lodging with
me for eighteen months, and I left a notice
on the chimney-piece in his room for him
to leave. He came to my door while I was in bed
with my wife, and asked if I wanted to sea him. I
said No, and he then used strong expressions, and
said he would treat himself with about two feet of
steel. (The witness here very carefully unwrapped
a large workman's tool, apparently like a chisel, and
told his worship he (the defendant) had it in his
hand outside the door.) Finding I would not come
out he said he would draw a glass of Burgess's ale.
He went down stairs and provided himself with a
glass of my ale, a cigar, and a newspaper. He then
returned and sat outside my door, smoking and
drinking. (Laughter.) He then called " Lucy,"
meaning my wife, and she did not answer to him,
I said she had better go to him, and she replied,
" She could not leave her husband." (Increased
laughter.) Prisoner said she was deceitful, and
called her a— . I said, "Lucy I must have an
explanation," and she said, "William, it is true." I
did not know what to do when I heard it, and any
other man would not have known what to do in
such a case. (Laughter.) I beiyged of him to get
into his room, and I went to Notting-hill Police
Station for two constables, as I did not wish to have
murder while I was in the house. The defendant
accompanied me, but the police refused to take the
charge, because I did not make a disturbance in the
street. (Loud laughter.) We went home together.
I did not know what to do.
Mr. Ingham—But come to the point where he
assaulted you.
Witness—l am going to tell you, (Laughter.)
Of course we had a few words together. I was sitting
having some bread and cheese, and he threw a carv-
ing knife for me to stab him for the injury he had
done me, as the knife I was using was not large
enough to stab him. I did not know what to do ;
many men would have committed murder, but I did
not. (Laughter) He then pulled my nose. Ofcourse
I took no notice of that —(roars of laughter)—it
takes a great deal to offend me. He threw a sove-
reign on the table to prove my wife a —, but I
did not want to make the case worse than it
was. He next spat in my face ; there are not many
men who would like that, but I allowed that to pass
over. (Laughter.)
Mr. Ingham—Then that is the assault you com-
plain of, pulling your nose and spitting in your face?
Witness—Yes, sir. Since then I sent him a bill
for £3 108. 6d., and stating that if he answered it
and returned the likeness 'would not appear against
him.

Mr. Ingham—Then you have taken out this sum-
mons to compel him to pay the bill ?
Witness—Yes. I wish him to return the portrait
of my wife he took away.
Mr. Ingham—You will give up the portrait ?
Mr. Martin—Oh yes, sir. It appears that this
unfortunate woman took poison after the affair, and
a medical man was called in, and in the bill sent to
my client by the husband aro charges for the medi-
cine and five days' attendance.
Mr. Ingham—Well, as the object of this proceed-
ing was to get the payment of the bill, I shall be
justified in dismissing the defendant on his reoog-
nisance in the sum of £lO to keep the peace.
Mr. Martin—l hope, sir, without costs. My
client was never served with the summons, and
knew nothing of it until he was apprehended on
the warrant.

-------
Mr. Ingham—As the complainant forgave him I
will forgive him.
Complainant—Can I county court him for the
bill ?

Mr. Ingham—Yes, you can do that.
The complainant then retired amidst the laughter
of the court.

The death has been announced of Mr. Joseph
Tasker, a well known and esteemed member of the Com-
mittee of Spanish American Bondholders, and also of the
Committee of Spanish Certificate holders. Mr. Tasker
was likewise a director of the United Mexican Mining
Association.
