CRIMINAL COURT.-(THLS DAY).

The November session of this court commenced to-day.
The Recorder, in charging the grand jury, observed that
there were 82 prisoners for trial, 72 men and 10 women.
Many of the cases were of a serious eharacter, and com-
prised three charges of murder, several of stabbing and
wounding with intent to murder, arson, and burglary.
Amongst the former cases was that of the lad Richard
Reeves, for the murder of his half-sister in Drury-court.
The second charge of murder was against George Inkpen,
for aiding and assisting a young woman named Edwards,
his sweetheart, to murder herself by drowning in the Surrey
Canal. The third case of murder was one in which a young
woman was charged with the murder of her illegitimate
child.

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
THE CASE OF THE REV. MR. HOLLOWAY.

The Rev. Henry Holloway was placed in the dock on an
indictment charging him with having, on the 12th of
August, stolen, in the parish of 3t. Olave, Southwark (the
London-bridge Railway station), a bag containing articles
of clothing, the property of the Rev. Thomas Gregory, a
clergyman, who was about proceeding by train to Tunbridge .
wells.
The prisoner pleaded not guilty.

Mr. Sleigh prosecuted, and entered at length into cir-
cumstances in the case which have repeatedly appeared
in The Sun during the examination of the prisoner at
Westminster Police-court.

The examination of the witnesses having concluded,

The prisoner, who was not represented by counsel, ad-
dressed the jury, and denied the charge in the most
emphatic terms. He complained of having been kept in
prison for 12 weeks upon a charge of theft, of which he was
entirely innocent.

The jury, after some deliberation, wished the Recorder
to put some questions to the prisoner.
The Recorder—Oh, no, I cannot do that.
After another long consultation,

The foreman of the jury said they had agreed to their
verdict, which was that they found him guilty of an un-
lawful possession.
The Recorder—What, of having the bag in his posses-
sion, knowing it to have been stolen.
Foreman—Yes.
A Juror—No, no ; I don't agree to that.
The Recorder—You had better have another consulta-
tion.

Ultimately the jury found the prisoner guilty of receiving
the bag knowing it to have been stolen, but recommended
him to mercy on the ground of the long term of imprison •
ment he had already undergone.

The Recorder—The recommendation will come better
presently. There was another indictment against the pri-

goner.

The prisoner was then again indicted for stealing on the
sth August, from the Vieoria Station of the London,
Brighton, and. South Coast Railway, a portmanteau, con.
taining a quantity of weatilig apparel, the property of Mr.
G. C. Addison; barrister•-at4alv.
Mr. Adiison said he to Croydon Assizes ; he
left the portroauteau on one of the seats in the station,
whilst he went to procure his ticket.
Mrs. Healy said she was at the station on the day in
question, and she positively identified the prisoner as the
person she saw take away the portmanteau from the place
where Mr. Addison had put it.

The prisoner said had the witnesses been in attendance
he should have been enabled to prove a complete alibi, as he
was at the Shakespere Hotel on the sth of August from
ten minutes past ten till past eleven that morning.
The jury returned a verdict of guilty.

Mr. Sleigh said there were three other indictments against
the prisoner, but he did not thiuk it necessary to pro-
ceed with them, but he might mention that in one of those
indictments the prisoner was indicted for stealing an um-
brella, the *:property of a gentleman named Busby, and
when ho was taken into custody he actually had the um-
brella, which had Mr. Busby's name engraved on the
handle, in his possession.

The Clerk of the Arraigns asked the prisoner if he had
anything to say why sentence should not be passed upon
him.

The prisoner said he did not find fault with the verdict
the jury had returned, because they could not have done
otherwise from the nature of the evidence that had been
offered. He declared solemnly he never was at the Victoria
Station on the sth of August. He considered the directors
of :the railway highly culpable for the negligence they
exhibited at the different stations. He believed that they
were [ more guilty than himself ; for, according to the
Decalogue, the directors and shareholders who received
dividends from railways running trains on Sunday, 'were
guilty in the eyes of God of death. He then :proceeded to
quote passages from Scripture, and concluded by saying
thatlhe was innocent of the crimes attributed to him.
The Recorder told the prisoner he had been found guilty
on two indictments, and he did not see the slightest occa-
sion to find fault with the decision the jury had arrived at.
He then sentenced him to 18 months' imprisonment with
hard labour.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day;

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SHAMEFUL CRUELTY.---WHAT BECOMES OF WORN-
OUT OLD HensEs.—Henry Parret, in the employ of a
licensed victualler and charcoal-burner, of Foot's Cray,
Kent, was charged as follows, at the instance of Mr. Wm.
Love, superintending officer of the Royal Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Pall-mall.
William Guest, one of the officers of the Royal Society,
said this morning he saw the defendant in Pall-mall with
a horse in a van. He observed that both the horse's ford
feet were covered with blood, and in removing a cloth
from one of them he found a large, deep, old wound. The
horse, in addition, was mangy and totally worn-out, and
unfit for work. The horse had walked 13 miles, and it
was a matter of great surprise to him how it could have
done so. The defendant told him that the horse was to
be killed, and that he should be very glad when it was.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he had had great experience in these
cases, and he found the worst came from the neighbourhood
of London, for a pack of fellows living at such places
bought up old horses, and then, notwithstar ding they were
worn out, set them to work again, As for the defendant,
he supposed he was obliged to work it or lose his place. If
the defendant would have the horse killed at Atchler's
where it would be properly done, ho should be inclined to
discharge him. At the same time the owner had better bo
proceeded against at Bexley.
The defendant consented to have the horse destroyed, and
was discharged.

DEATH OF P.G.M. JAMES ROE.—The members
of the great friendly societies will learn with regret that
this prominent and useful officer of the Manchester
Unity of Odd Fellows expired last evening at a quarter to
twelve, after a week's suffering from pneumonia. He was
a director of that order, having been annually elected for
17 years past, and in 1853 filled the office of grand master.
His services extended over about the same period as secre-
tary of the largest district, North London. As parlia-
mentary agent of the society, ho worked most actively
with a numerous circle of members of the House of Com-
mons in promoting the various legislative enactments for
friendly societies. He was also a member of the Fores-
ters' Society, whose leaders always found in him a hearty
co -operator.
An undertaking is in course of formation, to be
called the London Sufferance Wharf Company, with a
capital of £250,000 in £lO shares. The object is to erect
sufferanc3 wharves and bonded warehouses on the north
bank of the Thames, near Blackwall, to consist of a series
of detached buildings, which will facilitate a classification
of goods, and thus, along with other advantages, obviate
the principal difficulty of the insuran o question. The
property proposed to be purchased consists of 26 freehold
acres,
