ROBBERY ON BOARD A HAMBURG STEAMER.—WiIIiam I
smith, a labourer, was brought before Mr. Combe,
charged with stealing five pounds weight of horse hair
from the Trident, Hamburg steamer, the property of the
General Steam Navigation Company.
A custom-house officer stated that the Trident bad
just arrived from Hamburg with a general cargo, and on
the previous day the prisoner, with several other la-
bourers, were employed in discharging it. The vessel
was lying off Horsleydown, and about six o'clock, as
the prisoner was leaving to go ashore, he saw something
bulky under his jacket. He consequently asked him to
show what he had there, when he refused to stop, and
jumped into a skiff alongside and dipped a bag in the
water. Witness immediately followed him, and seized
hold of the bag, which he found to contain five pounds
weight of horse hair, which had been cut from a bale in
the hold, and then he detained him until the police gal-
ley came alongside, when he gate the prisoner into cus-
tody.
Mr. George Reid, Thames Police inspector, said he
took the prisoner into custody, and conveyed him to the
Bermondsey station, when the prisoner denied having
taken the hair from a bale, but he said be picked it up.
Mr. Combo asked the prisoner what answer he had to
make to the charge ?
He replied that the horse hair found on him was
merely the sweepings of the hold.
Thomas Coulson, mate of the vessel, denied that loser.
tion. After the prisoner was detected by the Custom-
house officers, witness examined the cargo, and found
that one the bales iu the hold had been cut open. The
prisoner had been at work there, and he believed the
was
soner to have stolen it. On the same day a case
broken into, and hardly a voyage but they lost property
the same way.
