CATTLE STEALING. AT a
George Mean, butcher, and Charles Hughes,
alias Murphy, drover, were indicted for stealing
three heifers and one steer, value 501.. the property
of Beriah Drew, Esq., of Streatham, one of the
magistrates of the county of Surrey.
The jury found Mean guilty of receiving and
acquitted Hughes.
Mr. Creasy said Mean's offence was a very serious
one, and ono which, within his own recollection,
was punished with death. At the present time the
sentence for such a crime generally was the next
highest known to the law; but in this case he should
pass a sentence of only four years penal servitude.
George Thomas, 40, baker, and Andrew Terry,
24, wood-turner, were severally indicted, Thomas
for stealing a cash-box and the sum of 191. the pro-
perty and monies of Francis Croucher, in his dwel-
ling-house, and Terry for feloniously receiving the
property and monies, well-knowing the same‘to

NENA SAHIB'S PROCLAMATION.
The following is a translation of a proclamation
posted up by Nena Sahib at Cawnpore
" A traveller just arrived in Cawnpore from
Calcutta states that in the first instance a council
was held to take into consideration the means to be
adopted to do away with the religion of the Mahe-
medans and Hindoos by the distribution of car-
tridges. The council came to this resolution,
that, as this matter was one of religion, the
services of seven or eight thousand European
soldiers woul4 be necessary, as 50,000 Hin-
dostanees would have to be destroyed, and
then the whole of the people of Hindostan would
become Christians. A petition with the substance
of this resolution was sent to .the Queen Victoria,
and it was approved. A council was then held a
second time, in which English merchants took a
part, and it was decided that, in order that no evil
6hould arise .from mutiny, large reinforcements
should be sent for. When the despatch was re-
ceived and read in England thousands of European
soldiers were embarked on ships as speedily as pos-
sible and sent off to Hindostan. The news of their
being despatched reached Calcutta. The English
authorities there ordered the issue of the cartridges,
for the real intention was to Christianise the army
first, and this being effeoted the conversion of the
people would speedily follow. Pigs' fat and cows'
was mixed up with the cartridges ; this became
known through one of the Bengalese who was I
employed in the cartridge-making establish-
ment.
Of those through whose means this was
divulged one was killed and the rest imprisoned.
While in this country those counsels were being
adopted, in England the Vakeel of the Sultan of
Roum sent news to the Sultan that thousands of
European soldiers were being sent for the purpose
of making Christians of all the people of Hindostan.
Upon this the Sultan issued a firman to the King
of Egypt to this effect You must deceive the
Queen Victoria, for this is not a time for friendship,
for my Vakeel writes that thousands of European
soldiers have been despatched for the purpose of
making Christians the army ani people of Hindos-
tan. In this manner, then, this must be checked.
If I should be remiss, then how can I show my face
to God ? And one day this may come upon me
also, for if the English make Christians of all
in Hindostan, they will then fix their de-
signs upon my country.' When the firnian reached
the King of Egypt he prepared and arranged his
troops, before the arrival of the English army at
Alexandria, for this is the route to India. Tha
instant the English arrived the King of Egypt
opened guns upon them from all sides, and destroyed
and sunk their ships, and not a single soldier
escaped. The English in Calcutta, after the issue
of the order for the cartridges, and when the mutiny
had become great, wore in expectation of the arrival
of the army from London ; but the Great God in
his omnipotence had beforehand put an end to this.
When the news of the dk s ruction of the army of
London became known, then the Governor-General
was plunged in grief and sorrow, and beat his head.

MARYLEBONE.—John Marks, coach-builder,
Bell-street, Edgeware-road, Samuel Marks, his
brother, with Abraham Simonds, who were re-
manded from two previous examinations, again
appeared before Mr. Broughton, charged, the
former (John Marks) with having concealed effects
the property of his creditors, and the other pri-
soners with being accessory.
Mr. Gifford appeared to prosecute. Mr. Sleigh
defended Simonds and Samuel Marks, and Mr.
Robinson attended for the bankrupt.
As on the former occasion, the court was crowded,
the greater part of those present consisting of per-
sons interested in the recovery of the property
which they had lost.
Some conversation took place between the ma-
gistrate and counsel on either side, when it was
agreed that only one witness should be examined
that day.
William Mollay was then called. Hs said—l
have been 10 or 12 years foreman to the bankrupt.
During the last six months goods have been brought
to the bankrupt's premises in Bell-street.

Mr. Gifford—Did you superintend the packing
of the goods ? _ _ _

Witness—l did ; and employed the carpenter to
make the cases, under the directions of John
Marks. Some of these cases were made before and
some after Christmas.

Mr. Gifford—Do you remember some gold size
being packed up ?

Wit-ness—l do.
Mr. Gifford—From whom did you receive the
instructions to make up the cases ?
Witness—From John Marks.
Mr. Gifford—Can you give any idea► as to the
contents of the cases t

Witness—They contained a quantity of cloths,
several pianeforte4 and other articles. These were
removed in a truck drawn by a single horse. Samuel
Marks and Simonds gave me- instructions about
the removal of them. I met them at a public-
house called the World turned Upside Down.
(Laughter.)
Mr. Sleigh here interfered, and stated that dates
ought to be given as to the particular times when
the goods were remsved.
Mr. Gifford having spoken in reply,
Tho witness being further examined, observed
that it may have been at the latter end of January
when some of the goods were removed, and that
they were drawn away on trucks from Trinity-
square.
Mr. Gifford—What time of the day was it that
the cases were drawn away ?
Witness—About four o'clock in the afternoon.

Mr. Gifford—How often were goods removed
from Trinity-square ?
`Fitness--To the best of my recollection about
four times a year.
Mr. Gifford—Were any of these goods taken
from Bell-street ?
Witness—They were.

In answer to further questions, the witness stated
that he was informed that the goods in the cases
were to be forwarded to Australia ' - that he was
told subsequently that they wore not goinc, there,
and that he did not want his creditors to know
about the matter.

The evidence of the witness in addition went to
show that a quantity of the goods were removed to
Reigate, amounting to 7,0001. or 8,0001., and that
he received about 201. fur the removal of them
there.

At the don of this witness's evidence a question
arose about the ball, some objection having taken
place to the securities for the prisoners Samuel
Marks and Simonds. In consequence 24 hours
wei o required for inqu'ries as to the solvency of the
securities to be offered, which was to the amount of
4,0001. for the two bail required.
