CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—C7hisliay3

OLD COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)
ATTEMPTING TO OBTAIN A CHEQUE.

Caroline Mary Palmer appeared to answer an indictment
charging her with attempting to obtain a cheque, by false
pretences, from the Messrs. Coutts, bankers, Strand.

The evidence for the prosecution went to show that at the
end of February last a man named Samson, who had fre-
quently been employed by the defendant, stated that she
told him that she wanted to get some money of hers out of
Coutts' bank, but to enable her to do so she must procure a
blank cheque. She induced him to go to a Mr. Young, as he
had a drawing account. The circumstances excited suspicion,
and he was arrested. Having been confined a fortnight,
he was admitted to bail, aad made some disclosures which
led to the prisoner being taken into custody. The case
mainly depended upon the evidence of Samson, against
whom also there was an indictment.

Mr. Cooper made a very forcible appeal for the prisoner,
contending that Samson must be an accomplice, and that
the evidence being uncorroborated, it was unsafe to con-
vict the prisoner on his statement.

The Common Sergeant having summed up,
The jury returned a verdict of guilty, and she was sen-
tenced to six months' imprisonment.
Samson was then arraigned on an indictment similar to
that upon which the prisoner had been tried, but no evi-
dence being offered, he was discharged.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--(TMs Day.)

BOW-STREET.

THE COMMERCIAL BANK FRAUD.—This morning Dux-
den and Holcroft were again placed before Mr. Henry for
further examination.

The proceedings, which were dull and uninteresting, con-
sisted in proving the handwriting of Durden to a number
of entries in the books of the bank of certain moneys that
had from time to time been paid over the counter to various
persons ; the money so paid being taken from the account
of a Mr. Joel, a customer of the bank, without his know-
ledge or sanction.

Both prisoners were fully committed for trial.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A WORKHOUSE HOLIDAY AND ITS RESULT.—Mary
Ann Foley, an inmate of St. Martin's Workhouse, was
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt as follows :
The porter of the house, Michael Brennan, said that on
the previous day the prisoner and some others were allowed
to go to Hanwell School for a holiday to see their children,
and a man was sent with them to see that they did not get
drunk. However, he was not, it appeared, vigilant enough
for the women, for five of them got very drunk, and the
prisoner, who was found rolling about the streets, and de-
claring "that she would have a cab, for the parish was a
rich one and could afford to pay for it," was at length taken
to the station on a stretcher.

vv
Mr. Tytwhitt fined her ss. or seven days.
Two or three other cases of drunkenness and abuse
towards Brennan were settled by fines or imprisonment in
default. _ _ _ _

Brennan said there were several other cases to go before
the board. _ _ _

Ellen Colman was next charged with making away with
several articles of workhouse clothing, the property of the
guardians of St. Martin's parish.
This prisoner had also gone out for a holiday on the 15th
March, and Dyer, the gatekeeper, said she never made her
appearance again ti:l the previous day, when she entered
minus several articles of clothing. -

the prisoner had several tidies before been at the
court, Mr. Tyrwhitt committed her for three months with
hard labour.

In the case of one of the women it was stated that she
had been twice in one day charged with drunkenness.

CLOSING OF THE STRIKE.—We are very glad to
be able to state that this unreasonable movement is almost
at an end. Messrs. Lucas have now within 80 of their full
number of hands of all trades; Messrs. Kelk have also
nearly all their hands ; and at Sir M. Peto's they are com-
ing in very fast. The most important step towards putting
an end to the dispute was made by the men at Messrs.
Lucas's yesterday, when after a meeting they decided by a
large majority, in defiance of the trades union, that they
would bind themselves to accept the Saturday half-holiday
and the hour system of payment. At Messrs. Kelk's, we
believe, the same decision has been arrived at, though not
yet officially communicated to the employers. At both
these yards, therefore, the pay-books will be opened before
1 o'clock to-day, and the men knock off work at that hour,
receiving under the new system of payment the same wages
as they did for working through the Saturday afternoon.
The trades will not be slow to see the real value of this
boon when the men who are employed under the old sys-
tem, as they are returning to their work at one meet those
employed under the new arrangement coming out to enjoy
their half loliday without any reduction in their weekly
earnings. Befoie a fortnight is over we expect to find that
half the trades in London will demand their half-holiday
and the hourly system of payment, by which alone they
can get it gratuitously. The men may think themselves
most fortunate in getting this liberal concession, for the
public opinion of England had long ago decided, with sur-
prising unanimity, that they were entitled to no concession
whatever.

The Governor of Lemberg, in Gallicia, has pub-
lished a decree forbidding all persons to wear the sword
called karabela, forming part of the Polish national cos-
tume, without first obtaining permission of the proper
authorities in the towns of Lemberg and Cracow. Those
who obtain the said permission will not be allowed to carry
any other weapon, nor even the karabela, unless they Wear
the traditional Polish costume,

SPURTING ROTES. !.:

_ . .
The meeting at Epsom was a decided success, both as re-
gards the quality of the sport and the unusually large num-
ber of visitors. The weather was everything that could be
desired. The start for the City and Suburban was the most
wretched that has ever been witnessed, not more than ten
horses out of the thirty-eight that went to the post getting
well off, or the result would have been very different. The
Two-Year-Old Stakes brought out decidedly the best horse
of his year we have seen in public up to the present time,
Express accomplishing a most easy victory over Estrelda.
Parmesan won the Metropolitan in a canter—my selected,
Danae, only being able to get a situation.
The Newmarket Craven Meeting, which commences on
Monday, will maintain its character for influencing so much
the great events of the year. .

There are nine subs to the Grosvenor Sweepstakes for three
year olds, the best of which will turn up in Baron Roths-
child's Janus. The 50 Sovs Sweepstakes will fall to Lord
Stamford by the aid of Imaus. The Sweepstakes of 25 Sovs
should go to Little Lady, and the Riddlesworth to Will-o'-
the-Wisp. In.the absence of Dundee the Sale Stakes will
bring to the post Imaus, Kildonan, and Nemesis, and I
fancy them in the order named. _

There are 37 acceptances for the Newmarket Handicap,
but after the performance of Parmesan, Sawcutter, and
General Hess at Epsom, I need not look further for the
winner, and as no line can be drawn from the performance
of the various horses in the City and Suburban, I would
not be the least astonished to see the Metropolitan victor
upset by The Giraffe filly. _ _ _

The 100 Sovs Sweepstakes will be a match between Star.
ight and Nautilus.

If Dundee should win the Sale Stakes, the 50 Sows
Sweepstakes will be a walk over for him.

The Second Newmarket Biennial, for feur year olds,
D. 1., is likely to bring out St. Albans, Plumper, Sailor,
Donner-und-Blitz, Umpire, Ebony, Angelo, Northern
Light, Panes, Avalanche, Buccaneer, King of Diamonds,
Provision, Professor, and Vanquisher. St. Albans is
doing good work, and it is said will go to the post, but he
has to give so much weight to Northern Light, Umpire,
and Vanquisher, that he may not be able to quite pull
through. Umpire•will be on his own ground, and to him
I give the preference.

The Third Newmarket Biennial, for three-year olds,
R.M., may introduce us to one of. Lord Ailesbury's, Prince
Plausible, The Roe, Asteroid, Vergiss-mein-Nicht ; one of
Lord Coventry's, Quick Silver, Canary ; one of Lord
Exeter's, King of Kent, Nautilus, Garibaldi ; one of Mr.
Merry's (probablyßussley), Prudence, Lupus, or Kildonan,
Copernicus, Janus, Lady, Blanche, The Struggler, York-
niinster, and one or two Others. King of • Kent has bop
shown speed and staying qualities. Janus will turn out.
the best of Baron Rothschild's, and Russley that of Mr.'
Merry's. My impression is that Russley or Janus will
furnish the winner.

The Handicap of 30 Sovs is just the distance for Benbow
or Angelo. Folkestone has only the Robert de Gorham
colt to fear in the Column Stakes. The Aske Produce will
be a match between Folkestone and Carbineer, but my pre-
ference is for tho former, who I have no doubt will be heard
'Of in the quotations for; the: Derby. •

Folkestone will no:doubt do duty for the second time in
the 100 Sovereigini Sweepstakes ; :and the three re-
maining sweepstakes will be credited to Lord Stamford's
account by the aid of Imaus, Estrelda, and Emily.
The Duke of Bedford may take his turn in a couple of
100 Sovs Sweepstakes wherein Asteroid is engaged, Janus
being a dangerous opponent to him for one of them.
Mr. Merry's Thormanby should carry off the Claret
Stakes, unless he is upset by Umpire. Lord Glasgow may
secure the second money with his Miss Whip filly.
The Port Stakes will go to Whitewall by the aid of The
Wizard, the only oppOnent he need fear being High Trea-
son. Prince Plausible is the best in the Bennington.
The Thirak Meeting, which takes place on Thursday and
Friday, I shall refer to on Wednesday.

Hess, who was joined at the centre of the Stand by the
favourite.. A few strides further Oliver was beaten, leaving
the General and Angelo to finish the race home; the latter,
however, who got badly off, was never enabled to quite get
up, and was beaten after a game struggle by half a length.

Kildonan lying second, Parasite next, with the Selina filly
and the favourite next ; Sporting Life last. Half way in

Betts, 9 to 1 agst Pretendant, 10 to 1 agst Parmesan, 100 to
8 agst Blue Jacket, 100 to 7 agst Viscount Brignall, 20 to
agst any other. As near as possible to the advertised time
the horses were marshalled in front of the stand, and with

little delay the flag was lowered to an excellent start.
Shortly after they had settled down in tbeir place The Rock
rushed to the front, followed by Danae, Betts, Pretendant,
and Simla, the ruck headed by Bumble Bce lying in a clus-
ter at their heels, in the centre of which were The Rap,
Parmesan, and Starke, the last of all being South Australian
and Blue Jacket. On rounding the turn out of the course
Tho Rock increased his lead, and went on several lengths
in advance of his followers, but on his making the turn to
tho right he got his head up, and bolted through the gorse
towards the warren, and was in consequence out of the race.
This mishap gave the lead to Simla, who was closely waited
upon by The Rap, Danae, Betts, and Atropia ; Parmesan's
bright colours being plainly visible heading the next lot,
Bumble Bee and Rollcall being his immediate followers.
On reaching the old mile-post Betts ran past Danae ; Par-
mesan, Pretendant, and Bumble Bee at the same time moved
towards the front, and for a brief period the lot ran in close
order, the others, headed by Blue Jacket, Starke, Viscount
Brignall, Rollcall, and Sycophant beginning to exhibit the
effect of the pace by gradually dropping into the rear, the
last of all being Atropia and South Australian. Descending
the hill, Pretendant ran into the fourth place, Simla still
leading, Danae being second, and Betts third,with Parmesan
and Bumble Bee in good positions. On fairly entering the
straight Betts was beaten, and the favourite at tho same time
mending her position, drew slightly away, having Danae at
her quarters, Parmesan following on the upper side, and
Bumble Bee on the lower rails, Pretendant and Blue Jacket
following on in the centre of the course, nothing else having
a chance. In this way they ran to the entrance of the

Stand enclosure, where Simla and Danae were beaten ; Par-
mesan at the same time took up the running, and won
easily by two lengths, Bumble Bee defeating Danae by a
length for second, Simla was fourth, two lengths in the
rear of Danae, Blue Jacket and Pretendant were fifth and
sixfh. Betts and the Rap next.

each agat Patriot. Marignan, and Paradox. After several
failures the flag was lowered. Warrener, with Walpole in
attendance, jumped away with a clear lead, followed by
Patriot, the Frenchman, and the favourite into the straight.
Half way up the distance Warrener beat a retreat, leaving
the baron's colt in possession of the lead, but ere a few
strides were passed he was joined by Patriot and Marignan.
The three finished a close race home, Grimshaw landinc-
the colours of his new employers by a head. 'Walpole a
bad third, Paradox was fourth, Febrifuge, who' was not
placed throughout, fifth, Deception sixth, sister to Morella
next ; the others beaten a long way.

and at the Stand was jpined by St. Bernard, the trio finish-
ing a close arid. eXcting' race borne, Lord Stamford's just
winning by a head, a head between the second and third.

mer. On taking the prelithinary canter, Mantrap broke
away with Doyle and jumped the chains at Tattenham-
corner, and again those Ileyond, in doing which he put his
foot on landing into a hole and rolled over, and, we are
sorry to say, broke his back and was immediately destroyed.
Doyle escaped very fortunately unhurt. At the first time
of asking tho lot left the post. Vulture jumped away with
a strong lead, followed by Light, Sharpshooter, Adamant,
and Star of the West, the others following at wide inter-
vals. At the distance the three placed came away together,
and finished an excellent race, Light winning very cleverly
at last by two lengths ; Sharpshooter a bad third ; Little
Drummer and Gay. Lad were fourth and fifth ; the others
trotted in.
THE STARTING.—During the afternoon the stewards in-
vestigated the charges made by the starter against W.
Bottom, H. Taylor, Reeves, Mitchell, Whiteley and Phillips
for disobedience, when the following verdict was pro..
nounced :—W. Bottom, H. Taylor, and Reeves suspended
to the 15th July; Mitchell and Whiteley to the 6th of
May ; Phillips to be 'severely reprimanded.
