POLICE ThrTELT IGHNCE—Feb. 20.

MANSION-HO USE. —R.OBBING Att EXPLOYEB.- -
Charles Everad, a j ,urneytnan in the service of Mr.
Poole, a chronometer maker, carrying on business in
Fenchurch-etreet, was brought before the L ird Mayor
and Sir R. W. Carden, in patty sessions, charged with
having stolen the movements of a watch, valued at 10.1.,
belonging to his employer.
Toe prisoner, who pleaded guilty to the charge, and
who seemed overpowered with grief, handed in the fol-
lowing written it itenaent in mitigation of punishment :
' "May it please this worshipful court to hear try
have a wife (Er advanced in pregnancy), to
whom this shock may prove fatal. I have alio seven
children, the youngest about two years old, the el ler of
the number about eighteen. At the time I made use of
the property for which I am tried I had two children in
bad health, one of them afflicted with scrofula in the left
hand, the other au affection of the lung.. I was advised
by Mr. Coulson, of the Old Jewry, and Mr. Bateman,
of Islington, to send them to the Margate Infirmary. I
got forms filled up by the churchwarden of the parish
(Islington), and sent my wife down to make further in-
quiry. Site learned that the youngest could not be ad-
mitted, on account of her age, but as out-door patient.
Having another little girl, I thought it would be as
cheap for her to take lodgings down there, and take
charge of the three youngest, as for me to pay a person
down there for their board, lodging, and attendance. It
was done. I put the two elder girls out to service, and
I and my two boys took one room, and gave up the
apartments we occupied. I wanted a little money to
start them. I applied to a loan-office, but could not suc-
ceed, and had to resort to the means which have brought
me here, knowing it would be but a temporary thing;
but, from disappeintment in money, it unfortunately was
discovered bt fore I could redeem it. The expenses at
Margate and at home swal owed up my earnings. My
child had her finger amputated, and was recovering. I
was in a fair way of getting the property back, but Pro-
vidence ordained it otharivise. For the sake of my
family I plead for as merciful a view of my case as
justice will a?l,ivr. By granting my prayer, your peti-
tioner will ever pray.
(Signed) " CHARLES EVERAD."
The prisoner, who war recommended to mercy by the
prosecutor, was sentenced to three months' imprison-
ment with hard labour.

CLERKE NWE fda. —THE UNEKPLOTED.—In the
course of the day the man Bryant, who acts as the leader
and spokesman to the unemployed, entered the court in
a hurried manner, and, addressing Mr. Tyrwhitt, said
he had to complain of the report which appeared in the
newspapers of that day, which contradicted one whioh
bad preriou.ly appeared, giving a correct and impartial
one in several prints.
He here handed in a letter containing the two differ-
ent reports, which were perused by Mr. Tyrwhitt atten-
tively.

Mr.
Tyrwhitt said he had no control over the press.
Magistrates, as well as reporters, were often found
fault with, but they tried to please all to the best of
their power, no doubt. He really thought the reports
were very fair. Bryant was proceeding to make further
remarks, when Mr. Tyrmhitt told him that he had
tothirg to do with the matter.
Bry tint said he had been to see Mr. Birchmore, who
denied having used some expressions attributed to him
in the report of yesterday, and he was addressing him-
self to the reporter, who retnirded him that he
was making amnions in the absence of Mr. Birchrnore
and that the rep,rt was accurate.
The Papers were handed back to Bryant, who said the
nnerupl ,yed deserved sympathy and assistance, and ar-
rangements were making to collect a public subscription
on their behalf, which he bad no doubt would be re.
sponded to.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Probibly so. That is another thing,
but I hare nothing to do with the matter.
"
Bryant left the court with a person who bad accom-
panied him, saying I wish to hnpress on the reporter,"
but the remainder of the sentence was last

LAMBETH. —EMBEZZLEMENT BY A CONFIDENTIAL
CLERK —Ruisell Pearce, a young man of respectable
appearance, who has been a confidential clerk in the
employment of Mr. C),ke, an auctioneer, in the Wea•-
minster-road, was placed at the bar, before the lion. G.
C. Norton, on a charge of embezzling various sums of
money, the property of his employer, and appropriating
them to his own use.
Mr. Cooke, the prosecutor, said he was not only
pained, but surprised, at the position in which the pri-
boner had placed himself, as he had been in his service
when he had been of to proceed against another
young man in his employ, who had robbed him of 150/.,
and since then had gone over the books with him for the
purpose of detecting another person who had also at-
tempted to lob him, and it therefore pained him (Mr.
Cooke) to find that the prisoner had so committed him-
self.

Mr. Norton observed that it was perfectly lamentable
ti) find the growing evil of dishonesty among servants.
From the most confidential to the most humble, all
seemed to be going on wrong.
Mr. Cooke said the friends of the prisoner were most
respectable persons, and for their sakes, and not for his,
he should be willing, with his worship's sanction, to
forego a prosecution, provided ho should be protected
from an action for false imprisonment.
Mr. Norton replied that an action under the circum.
stances was quite out of the question, and
A Solicitor, who attended on the prisoner's behalf,
said he would pledge his word that no action should be
brought.

116. Norton thought a short imprisonment would do
the prisoner no harm, and he should remand him for a
week to giva time to the prosecutor to ascertain the ex-
tent of his defalcations.

The prisoner was remanded accordingly.

THE CASE OF T. F. BACON,—We have been informed,
on good authority, that the Government, acting under
the advice of Mr. Bodkin, will, under an Act of Parlia-
ment passed last session, remove the coroner's inquisition
to the Central Criminal Court, in which the prisoner
will be arraigned and tried on the same day as he and
his wife will be arraigned for the murder of the chil-
dren. In case of a conviction for the murder of his
mother, it is supposed he will be sent to Lincoln for
execution. Mr. Medealf, of the Northern Circuit, has
been retained to defend Bacon.—Stamford Meirury.

speech became muffled, and his clerks being alarmed,
sent for medical aid. His case was considered highly
dangerous, and he was removed to his residence, where
he died shortly after midnight. It is thought probable
that he ruptured a small vessel on the brain by the fall,
and that this acted on a predisposed bad state of health
and caused his death.
