in French. Mrs. Bonnegalle spoke in English to
witness, and asked to be shown some hosiery, linen
fronts, and silk handkerchiefs, which ,she placed
before them, and they selected several of each, and
requested them to be sent to 41, Aldred-road, Ken-
nington, their residence, when they would be paid
for. They then quitted the shop, and a minute or
two afterwards witness missed a packet of linen
handkerchiefs which she had seen on the counter
prior t o their entering the shop. Not having shown;
them such handkerchiefs, she suspected that the
prisoners had stolen them, consequently she went
after them, and when nearly opposite St. George's
Church she saw them on the opposite side of the
road. Mrs. Boutheux was handing the parcel to
the other prisoner, who examined them and closed
the parcel again. She crossed over the road, and
seeing a constable near, she gave him information,
and the prisoners were taken into custody,
On cross-examination by Mr. Lewis, witness said
that she distinctly saw Mrs. Bonnegalle examining
the handkerchiefs in the street, prior to her cross-
ing over and telling the constable. When the latter
went up to them and accused them of the robbery,
the handkerchiefs had fallen on the ground at the
feet of Mrs. Bonnegalle.
Mr. Combe asked whether they paid for the
goods they ordered.
Miss Morgan replied in the negative. They,
that is, Mrs. Bonnegalle, said that they lived at 41
Aldred-road, Kennington, and directed the goods
to he sent there. That was a false address.

William Hodge, 493 A, said he was on duty near
St. George's Church on the afternoon in question,
when the last witness came up to him, and pointed
out the prisoners, saying that they had stolen some
handkerchiefs from her father's shop. Witness
stopped the prisoners, and saw the parcel of hand-
kerchiefs fail at their feet. He then took them
into custody.,
Mr. Lewis here said that certainly appearances
were very much against both prisoners, but as re-
gards Madame Bonnegalle, he was instructed to
say she and her husband were respectable persons,
having lived at their present residence 18 months,
and four years at another house at Brixton, where
they were highly respected. She had only recently
known the other prisoner, and consented to go out
with her, but iTith no intention of committing a
felony. lie aubmijed, therefore, that as Madame
Bonnegalle was not awace that any robbery had
been committed she ought to be ;discharged. He
called _

Mr. John Austin, a retired builder, of Leo Cot-
tage, Cowley-road, Brixton, who said Mr. and Mrs.
Bonnegalle had been his tenants 18 months. r, hen
they came to him he received a four years' refer-
ence, and was positive they were persons of un-
blemished character.

Mr. Alder, a hosier, of Newington-causeway,
here stepped forward and said he knew the pri-
soners. They came into his shop and selected goods
to be sent to their address, 41, Aldred-road, Ken-
nington. He afterwards ascertained that they
never lived at that address.

Mr. Combe asked if ho missed anything after
they left.
Mr. Alder replied that he did not, as he had no
suspicion of them. They never paid any money for
the goods.
The constable was recalled, and said he had been
to No. 41, Aldred-road, Kennington, and neither of
the prisoners had resided there. The address they
gave at the station-house, No. 2, St, Ann's-road,
Brixton, was right.
Mr. Combe said it was quite clear that they had
given a false address, and as Mrs. Bonnegalle
denied the charge, he must send them before a jury.
Mr. Lewis consulted with the prisoners for a few
minutes, and, turning round to his worship, said
that they pleaded guilty.
Mr, Combe observed that there could be no
doubt of that, therefore he should sentence each of
them to six months' hard labour—the highest pun-
ishment he was allowed to inflict.

The magistrate was here informed that one of
the prisoners was living with a man who had re-
cently undergone four years' penal servitude, and
was well known at the West-end.
SINGULAR RECOVERY OF A STOLEN GOLD WATCH
AND CHAIN.—EIIen Sullivan, a very young girl,
was charged with stealing a valuable gold watch
and chain from the person of Mr. Jair es Jones Skin-
ner, a clerk, residing in Hill-street, Peckham, un-
der the following circumstances :
The prosecutor, a middle-aged man, said he met
the prisoner on the evening of the 20th Nov., and
went with her to No. 3, Cole-street, Dover-road.
After being in the room a little while he missed the
prisoner and his watch and chain. He saw no more
of her until the previous night, when she met him
in the street, and told him that she would go with
him to the station-house, where his watch was. He
accompanied her, and found his watch and chain.
The prisoner at first said that the gentleman
gave her the watch, but afterwards pleaded guilty
to stealing it.

Mr. Co-mbe sentenced her to six months' hard
labour.

WORSHIP-STREET.—BURGLARY TWO DAYS
AFTER MARRIAGE.—Henry and Mary Ann Mann
were charged before Mr. Knox with burglariously
breaking and entering the dwelling house of Chas.
Grange, a draper, in business 9.t 28, Hare-street,
Bethnal-green, and stealing therefrom.
Lillicrap, 183 H, deposed—On the morning of
the 6th instant, about two o'clock, while on duty
in Hare-street, I heard a breaking of glass, and
saw the male prisoner walking away from Mr.
Grange's shop. He dropped a bundle containing,
as I afterwards found, a large quantity of cloth
and made-up articles of dress. I seized him, he
resisted very violently, struck me in the mouth,
slipped his coat and tried to get away. The female
prisoner got held of my hands, held them behind
me, and said she was wife to the man. My ser-
geant came up and both were taken into custody.
Police-sergeant Savage, 7 H, swore that he
found last witness struggling with both prisoners.
That the constable was then bleeding freely from
his mouth. The property spoken of was after-
wards picked up a few yards from the spot, and
the woman admitted having dipped it. The
shutters of the prosecutor's shop We1.1:3 found to
have been forced, and a square of glass put in a
masterly manner.

Mr. Grange said—l secured the premises
question at ten o'clock on the night of the sth.
Shortly after two o'clock the following morning I
was awoke by frightful screams. Saw my two
daughters in the street almost in a nude state—the
constables struggling with the prisoners—my
goods lying in the street, and some of my shop
shutters down. The window had been partially
cleared of property now produced. The male pri-
soner observed to me, " Surely you recollect I was
a customer of yours, Why, you made the trousers
I now have on." And I do remember that some
time since he, in company with the woman, came
to be measured for those identical articles.

Mr. Vann, for tno defence, cross•examined the
witnesses with a view to show that the property
in question was not seen in the prisoners' posses.
sion, and that the woman's assertion of having
dropped it-was mistaken by them. _ _

This elicited a statement from the first witness
and the prosecutor's wife, that a man, not in cus-
tody was seen near the prisoners just before their
apprehension, but they were positive he had not the
bundle.

Mr. Vann then urged that the woman was not
liable, as she had acted under the authority of her
husband, if at all, to whom she had been wedded
only two days previously to this charge being pre-
ferred.

A former conviction was proved against the
male prisoner, by which it appeared that in April,
1858, ho was sent from this court by Mr. D'Eyn-
court for the term of six months' imprisonment, for
felony.

Mr. Knox refused to liberate the woman, but re-
marked—Doubtless, if it is shown at the trial that
they are man and wife, she will be acquitted.
The depositions were then completed by Mr.
Safford, and both prisoners were fully committed
for trial at the sessions.
