ROBBERY BY A SHOPMAN.—A young man of respectable
appearance and address, named Wm. Talbot, was brought
before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing ls. 6d. from his
master's till.

Mr. Benjamin Napper, leather-seller, of No. 240, White-
chapel-road, stated that the prisoner had been in his em-
ploy about eight years. About six months ago he received
information that the youth was plundering him, but he
placed so much confidence in the prisoner that he would not
believe it. He continued to receive intimations from time
to time of the dishonesty of the prisoner, and also ascer-
tained that he was in the practice of borrowing money of
others. He had lately missed considerable sums from his
till, and at last consulted the police on Wednesday morning.
He marked £5 worth of silver, consisting of dollars, half-
crowns, shillings, and sixpences, and put the whole of it in
the till. He then left the shop. In the afternoon he was
informed the prisoner had opened the till and taken some
money out.
Joseph Duble, a detective police constable, No. 195 H,
said he was stationed on the staircase of the prosecutor's
house yesterday, and there was a hole in the wall, which
enabled him to have a full view of all that was going on in
the shop. About half an hour after the prosecutor left the
shop he saw the prisoner pull out one of the tills with his
left hand, take a shilling and a sixpence out with his
right hand, and put the money in his right
hand trousers pocket. When Mr. Napper came home
he charged the prisoner with the theft, and he
took from his pocket a shilling and two sixpences, and de-
livered it to him. The shilling was marked, but the six-
pences were not. The prisoner had no other money upon
him.

In answer to questions by Mr. Yardley, the prosecutor
said that when he put the money in the tills there was no
other money in them, but money was taken of customers in
the course of the day.
Mr. Yardley said he should order the depositions to be
taken and the charge read over.
Mr. Napper said he wanted a remand.
Mr. Yardley—What for ?

Mr. Napper—Other servants of mine can give very im
portant information. _ . _

Mr. Yardley—Very well ; I will remand the prisoner
until Monday.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT LITTLE EALlNG.—yes_
terday morning at an early hour the neighbourhood of Little
Ealing was thrown into a state of great alarm, inconsequence
of the discovery that a, fire had broken out upon the estate
belonging to Col. Clitherow. The buildings in which the

and the stores, whilst the other comprised the dwelling-
house, the dairy, and poultry-houses. Unfortunately these
promises communicated with each other by means of the
roofs. Engines from Old and New Brentford and Ealing
town were quickly on the spot, but unfortunately the only
water that could be obtained was from pumps which yielded
a poor supply, and the flames were not extinguished for
some hours, and a serious amount of damage was done.
The buildings and some Nuts of the contents were insiiied.
