CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT,
OLD COURT.
(Before the RECORDER.)
Yesterday Henry Hyams, a Jew, aged 40, described
as a dealer, was indicted for a burglary in the dwell-
ing-house] of Louis Nathan, and stealing a silver
butter-knife, his property. In another count the
prisoner was charged with receiving the article in
question knowing it to have been stolen.
Mr. Payne prosecuted ; Mr. Ballantine defended
the prisoner.

The prosecutor deposed that he was a merchant,
and resided at No. 10, Finsbury-circus. On the
night of the 23d of September the family went to
rest about twelve o'clock at night, and the next morn-
ing, at half-past six o'clock, upon his going down
stairs, he found the house in confusion, and his
servants informed him that the premises had been
entered during the night by the back area window,
and he ascertained upon further investigation, that a
considerable quantity of plate, which he valued at
801., had been stolen. Among the articles so taken
was a silver butter-knife, and he identified the one now
produced as that which had been stolen on the night
in question.

George Trew, one of the city of London detective
police force, deposed that on the evening of the 29th
of September, while he vva's sitting at tea in his own
house in Monkwell-street, City, he saw the prisoner
pass his window, and " knowing him," he resolved
upon following him. The prisoner proceeded to
Shoe-lane, where he stopped a short time at the corner,
he then went on to Holborn, and after this to a pub-
lic• house in King-street, Drury-lane, where he re-
mained for twenty minutes. He then went again into
Holborn, when witness stopped him and asked him
where be had been, and he said he had been for a
walk. Witness told him he suspected that he had
stolen property about him, and he should wish to
search him. The prisoner said he had nothing about
him but a purse and a few shillings, and he expressed
his readiness to be searched, and witness took him
into a public-house, and upon examining his person, he
found the silver butter-knife which he now produced
in his breast coat pocket. He then told the pri-
soner that he should take him into custody for
having the butter-knife in his possession, and he re-
plied. " Oh, don't," and at the same moment put
his hand into his trousers pocket, and when he pulled
it out witness laid hold of it, and he found a five
pound note in his hand. The prisoner then said to
him, " Take that, it is as square as a guinea, and let
me go." Upon this he took the prisoner into custody,
and locked him up in the Smithfield station-house.
The jury found the prisoner guilty of feloniously
receiving the butter-knife, knowing it to have been
stolen.

In answer to a question put by the Learned Judge,
the officer said he was not aware of the prisoner ever
having been convicted before, and the reason he was
induced to follow him upon the occasion in question
:was that ho had repeatedly seen him in company with
notoriously bad characters.

The prisoner was sentenced to be imprisoned and
kept to hard labour for twelve months.

In the course of the day the prisoner Paul Frazer
was brought up for judgment, and sentenced to be
transported for seven years.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

WORSHIP-STREET.

IMITATING A DETECTIVE.-- W. Rust, who re,pre-
,sented himself as an agent and collector, residing at
No. 7, Brown-street, Grosvenor-square, was charged
with representing himself to be a police-constable.
Mrs. Mary Ann Beresford stated that her husband
:was the proprietor of the White Hart, Temple Mills,
Tottenham. On Monday afternoon, the prisoner,
with another man, came in front of? the bar. The
man walked into the tap-room, and the prisoner had
something to drink at the bar. He there
.spoke to her about a robbery which had been com-
pitted at the house on the Saturday afternoon pre-
vious, when a sum of 781. 15s. was stolen with a gold
watch. He then stated that he was connected with
Marylebone Police-court, and asked for a piece of
paper to take down some particulars respecting the
;robbery, observing that he had some clue about the
'watch. Thinking he was a police-officer, she asked
him intoThebar-parlour. The prisoner wentithere,lwhen
he stated that he belonged to the detective force, and
showed what she believed to be his authority. (A letter
was produced which was from the office of the Commis-
sioners of Police, and in answer to an application of
the prisoner to be made a policeman, but which was
refused). She subsequently took the prisoner, at his
request, to the room, in which was a chest of drawers,
from one of which the property stolen was abstracted.
He examined the locks which he remarked were very
insecure. She there mentioned to him that the pot-
boy was suspected, and upon ascertaining when the
brewer's collector was to call, he remarked, " Good
God I What a shocking thing it would be. I sup .
pose you have not the money in consequence of the
robbery ? " She said she had not. He then stated
that there were many cases of that kind, and that
three weeks ago there were several horse-stealers in
that neighbourhood. He took down upon the piece
of paper she gave him all the particulars she had stated
respecting the robbery. He returned to the bar-
parlour ; her husband was there, whom she informed
that the prisoner was one of the detective force from
Marylebone Police-court. The prisoner nodded assent,
and added that he had a clue to the discovery of the
watch. Clarke, a policeman of the N division, was in
front of the bar, upon which she stated to him that
one of the detectives was in the bar-parlour. Clarke
went there.

Clarke produced the paper containing the parti-
culars, as taken down by the prisoner, who, after
some further evidence, was remanded to Friday next.

William Haynes, the pot-boy at the White Hart,
was charged on suspicion of stealing 751. 155., the pro-
perty of I,Vin. Beresford, the landlord.
The suspicion azainst the prisoner arose from the
circumstance that from the window of the bed-room
into which entrance was obtained there were marks
down the wall of nails, which were supposed to have
been caused by the hobnails in the toes of his shoes.
Some lucifer-matches were found in the drawers, and
two like to them were in the prisoner's room. The
prisoner also stated that on the afternoon of Saturday
he mentioned to a girl that he saw a light in the
room; but that was denied by the girl when asked
about it, that he ever spoke to her.
The prisoner was remanded.
SOUTHWARK.

COMING TO SEE THE MAGISTRATE.-Ann Fleming,
a respectable looking female, was brought before Mr.
A'Beckett, charged with being drunk.

Mr. A'BEOKETT, on perceiving the prisoner enter
the dock, said that he had seen her several times
before him fur a similar offence.

Prisoner-1 was here yesterday evening, your Wor-
ship, when you told me to come and see you this
morning at ten o'clock.

Mr. 'ATECKETT—Yes, but I did not tell you to get
locked up for that purpose.
Prisoner—l was not drunk, youNrorship. I broke
my leg some time ago, and sometimes I can't walk so
well as at other times.

The constable declared that she was very drunk.
Mr. ATECKETT told her that he bad no doubt that
the charge was correct, but as she had been locked up
all night he should discharge her.
Prisoner--But I want to speak to your Worship.
Mr. A'BEcK ETT—You must come at a proper time,
and keep sober.

Prisoner then left the court, and said she would call
again and see his Worship.

THAMES.

THE ALLEGED DEATH OF A SEAMAN FROM ILL-
TREATMENT OFF THE COAST OF AFRICA.—Mr. Ro-
bert Pride, master of the ship Governor Macdonald,
appeared to his recognisances to answer a charge of
false imprisonment preferred by a seaman named
David Isbasta, the particulars of whose case appeared
in our publication of Thursday last.
Mr. Pelham said that since the case was last before
his Worship he had:rnade every possible inquiry into
the circumstances, aided by Inspector Griffin, and he
was unable to bring home any charge of culpability
to the defendant. He had read several works respect-
ing the place, and had by him some copies of the
Baptist Herald, from which it would be seen that the
place, so far from being uncivilized or savage, had
been a missionary station since 1845, and with no
little success. Farming pursuits were carried on with
great regularity, as well as the making of mats, which
appeared to be the staple manufacture. In addition
to this, Government vessels constantly visited the
place, and civilisation had advanced rapidly since
1845. He (Mr. Pelham) was instructed to say that
the person called King Bill had visited Liverpool,
and had received from Queen Victoria what his
Majesty himself called a seal, whereby he was in
some degree recognised as entitled to exercise some
authority similar, it may be, to that vested in mer-
chants under some of the seaman's Acts. After the
fullest inquiry on his (Mr. Pelham's) part, there was
no doubt that Isbasta had suffered some wrong, and
was entitled to some compensation ; but there was
nothing to show what could at all be called culpabi-
lity on the part of the defendant. A compromise had
been offered, and, as he was not able to carry the
matter further, he thought it would be best to come
to some arrangement.
Mr. YARDLEY—The first part of your observa-
tions, Mr. Pelham, are very judicious, but I cannot
say the same of the last. This is a court of criminal
jurisdiction, and I will not allow it to be made the
medium through criminal charges of obtaining civil
compensation.

Mr. Pelham—l'll pledge you my honour as a man
and as a gentleman, that from all the inquiries I have
been able to institute, I am not able to carry the case
further.

The case was then dismissed, with the understand-
ing that compensation would be made to Isbasta ; but
as regards Bainbridge, King Bill, Captain Pride,
Inspector Griffin, Mr. Vessey, Mr. Pelham, and the
others, it remains in the same state in which Isbasta
left it on Wednesday respecting the death of the man
Bainbridge.
