VRRIE 41). STAMPED 5D

an inquiry ving on about a'box of wearing apparel, the
property of the witness, and which had been safe in his
bedroom when he left home.
Tidytnan, a labOurer, living opposite the German, de-
posed to seeing the prisoner staggering" :thing with a
heavy box err his shoulder, and this appearing suspicious
he and a man named Crouch folfo wed and questioned
him. Prisoner offered to show where he had got the
box from and Crouch was going with him, leaving wit-
ness in charge of the box when a cry of " Stop, thiet,"
was raised, and the prisoner instantly took to his heels.
53 H depoeni to hearing shoutitt and clan-ion, and
on getting up found the prisoner surrounded by a mob,
who said he hal juet broken into a -Nouse, and one man
produced a shirt the prisoner had thrown away in his
flight. On taking him back to the prosecutor's house
the shutter of the lower window was discovered to have
been forced open, and an entrance gained that way, and
on the prosecutor coming np he claimed the goods as hie
'property, and gave the prisoner into custody.
Mr. D'Eyncourt (to prisoner)—Are you upon fur-
lough, and-do you wish to ask the witness any ques-
tions ?

Prisoner—Yes, Sir, I am upon furlough, and about
to join the 3d Dragoon Guards, now under orders for
India. I don't 'wish to ask questions, but I should like
to say a few words, if you'd let me..
Mr. D'Eyncourt—Yes, certainly ; do so.
Prisoner—Well, Sir, I met the prosecutor's wife last
Saturday week in Whitechapel, and she asked me to
treat her. That was the first time I saw her, but I did so,
and we went to a coffee-house there kept by a person
named Hughes, and afterwards I went to her house and
stayed with her there all night. Next morning, after I
had left, I missed several things from my pockets, and
among others-a peculiar knife given to me by the owner.
.
... „.. ,-, lino at.S.heffield on my return from the Crimea,' -
wl . my name, regiment, and the engagements I had
been in upon it. As I wanted to get back my knife, I
went to the prosecutor's, as be says, but saw. him and
his wife together. I did not wish him to know of my
previous acquaintance with his wife, and therefore
asked for a Smith, and, having proffered some drink,
the wife then sent her husband out upon some pretence,
and I, in presence of the landlady, asked the wife for
my knife. The landlady said, " What ! is that knife
yours ? What a pretty one 1" and the wife then fetched
the knife, and returned it to me. '
Mr. D'Eyncourt7—Well, and allowing all that you say
to be true, it does not at all meet this charge of robbery
against you.

Prisoner—Oh, I know nothing whatever about tha
box.

The officer having intimated that the wife was out-
side, and the plis,ner expressing a wigh to have her
questioned, she was called in. She was a tidy, neat-
looking woman of 30, and on her getting into the wit-
neßs-5 the magistrate asked her, ."Did you ever see
this knife before I"

Wife—Yet., Sir, on Saturday night, at the station
house, when the prisoner produoed it.
Mr. D'Eyunurt—And did you over see the prisoner
before thot time ?

Wife—Never, Sir.
Mr. D'Epicourt (to the prisoner)—Well, I shall re.
amid hr a week.

Pri'o❑cr—l am very sorry, sir, to be obliged to tel
.on all this at, int this man's wife, but I assure you

notwithstanding, that it is all perfectly true, mil I do
hope that at the next examination you will have both
the landlady of the prcaecutor's house, and also Mr
Florzhe., the c)ffee-house keeper, brought here and ex-
atolind.

Tile prisoner said this very earnestly, and, Mr
D'Ey neourt havinz replied "Certainly; let the officer
see to that," the prisoner was remanded.

MA RLBO Ro 11-STRE ET.—Ajourneyman tailor,
named L oney, was summoned by Simon Wentheim,
tailor, Regent-street, for detaining two coats.
Mr. Wentheim said it was the practice of journeymen
tail,rs to get work to do at their own houses, and to
keep it until xtortionate prices for their labour were
pa;d. As these workmen generally knew whether the
job they were on was a time job, that is, for a wedding
or a funeral, and that the garments must be delivered by
a fixed time, they seldom tailed to carry their point. The
defendant had obtained two ceata to make a fortnight
ago, and bad not; yet sent them home.
The defendant said the reason was that the complainant
gave him a coat to make, telling him to make it A. 1,
meaning in first-rate style. He worked four days. on
the coat, and was' only paid 125., which was not suffi-
cient payment for his time, considering that he had to
find silk and thread. As he expected to be served in
the same way with these two coats, he did not send
then home, but was willing to give them up on payment
of 245. for his labour.
Mr. Wentheina would pay the money, but he had a
set off of 17s. 61 for cloth sold to the defendant.
Mr. iJoidon said be could not set off goods against
labour, unless there was a previous agreement.
Mr. Wentheizu wished to -know whether a workman
was hound tofgliver goods give'i out to him at the shop
fro 'tvhicb he' 4aelfig&ltitti.
Mr. 133.iden said certainty a workman must take back
work to the shop from which he received it, but he
need not deliver up.the goods before he got the money.
The order was made for the delivery of ,the coats on
paympt of 245.

LA. M BETE'. Yesterday, Mary Webb, Hariet
Worsfold, and Mary Kingsgate, kitchen maids at the
Crystal Palace, were charged with carrying away no lees
than 82 pounds weight of beef, mutton, ham, fowl, veal,
butter, soap, fl-mr, bread, pastry, besides eggs and fruit,
the property of the Messrs. Staples, of the Albion Tavern,
.llders,'ate-str,et, who are contractors for refreshments
at the Crystal Thilace. James Scull, a waiter at the
palace, was a!so charged with a similar offence, and
Alfred Kingszate, the husband of one of the female pri-
soners, was charged with receiving some property found
at his house, thl urging to the Messrs. Staples.
From the evidence it appeared that Mr. Lund and
S,ijeant Coppin stationed themselves oppsito to the
gate at which the servants of Messrs. Staples leave at
night, and when the females came out they foil iwed and
stopped them, and at the station-housefound each loaded
with prep-rty t-f every description, in large pockets tied
round their shoulders, body, and waist, and placed in-
side their dress. On one of them al-one was concealed
no less than 321bs. weight of different articles. Scull
was also taken with a bag in his possession, containing
31bs. weight of beef, barn, fowl, and other articles, and
at the house of Kingegate was found 21bs. of butter,
some bread, and a steel.

The prisoners' solicitor hoped that both the prosecu-
tors and Irs worship would deal leniently with the pri-
soners, who had up to the present borne a vied charac-
ter, and treat their offence summarily for the unlawful
possessi ,n.
Mr. Norton observe,' that the offence was one of a
wholesale and ruinous character, against which no
amount of capital could stand. He should remand the
prisoners to a future day to give time to inquire about
their character, and on the account he received of them
would depend in a great measure the mode in which he
should ultimately dispose of the case.
The prisoners were then remandee,

THE• CASE OF THE LATE CONSTABLE JORDAN.—The
following sums have been received for the widow of Jor-
dan ,the policeman, who lost his life by the brutality of a
Crimean soldier, viz. : —5l. from J. W. C., 3/. from Lord
8., 1/. from E. C., 103. from R. N. D., ss. from C. D.,
ss. from J F., and half-a-crown each from J. S., C. G.
11., and E. S.—Five pounds have also been received,
per Contts and Co., from Lady C. Proby, for the poor-
box.—fo Pcter Pickwick."—The seeond half of a 51. note
from this benevolent contributor to the poor-box has been
acknowledged by mistake. The s.cond half has in
reality not yet come to hand.

THAMES.—Alexander Harnett Clark, photographic
artist, £, Sun-court, Upper East Smithfield, was brought
before Mr. Yardley, charged with causing the death of
Eliza Bunn, a married woman, by striking her on the
head with a hammer. The prisoner was fined 20s. for
the assault, which it was alleged caused the death of the
woman a few days ago. Since the fine the poor woman
was attacked by illness, and died yesterday.
It appeared that the prisoner was hanging some pho-
tographic portraits to a nail, and that the deceased en-
tered his shop and an altercation took place between
them, but what led to it did not appear. The woman
scratched the prisoner's face, ant he took up a hammer
and struck her on the head. When the case of assault
only was heard before, the magistrate thought some pro-
vocation was given, but not such ,as to justify the pri-
soner taking up a deadly weapon and striking the woman.
After a long investigation, Mr. Yardley remanded the
prisoner.

tralian colonies during the week have comprised 7 ves-

perienced any recovery.
