JUDGMENT.-APPEAL.-ROUTLEDGE AND ANOTHER V.

ROUTLEDGE AND ANOTHER.

Mr. Whiteside, Q.C., on the further hearing of this
cause, resumed and concluded his argument in reply for
the appellants.

The Lord Chancellor, Lord Browtem, Lord Cranworth,
and Lord Chelmsford, were unanimously of opinion that
the decision of the Lord;Chancellor of Ireland was right
and ought to be affirmed.

Their lordships were of opinion that there was no fraud
and no misrepresentation practised on the appellant to
induce him to enter into the agreement in question. It
was a family agreement, and as such was favoured in law.
The onus probandi lay on the plaintiff to prove fraud, and
he bad not done so.

The Lord Chancellor affirmed the decision of the Court
of Chancery, and dismissed the appeal with costs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(11IIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SYSTEMATIC SHOPLIFTING.—THREE CHARGES —Two
smartly-dressed young girls, named Harriet Davis and
Caroline Harrison (well known to the police), about 16,
were charged before Mr. Beadon with shoplifting at various
shops in Oxford-street the previous afternoon.
An assistant to Mr. Bird, hosier, of Oxford-street, proved
that the prisoners came in and asked to see some silk pocket
handkerchiefs, and while they were examining them he
saw one move on the counter, and shortly after saw it pro-
truding from Davis's dress. He spoke to another sbopman,
and, while he was gone for a constable, it was replaced on
the counter.

Mrs. Kenton, searcher at the Marlborough-street station,
said, on searching the prisoners, she found in the skirt of
Davis's dress three other silk handkerchiefs and a scarf.
The prisoners asked her not to show them to the inspector.
Wm. Roberts, assistant to Mr. Charles Cooper, hosier, of
Oxford-street, identified one of the handkerchiefs produced
as the property of his employer.
J. Pawny, assistant to Mr. Bamfather, hosier, Oxford-
street, identified two pocket. handkerchiefs as the property
of his employer.
The prisoners pleaded guilty.

Mr. Beadon said they had commenced life abominably
bad, and had previously been concerned in a bad robbery,
but unfortunately had not gone for trial. They had become
regular shoplifters, and but for their age he should have
sent them for trial.
Committed for six months, with hard labour.
