brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing the
sum of 201. belonging to the members of the Royal
Friendly Society of United Labourers, held at the Royal
Tent public house, Silver-street, Golden.square.
Patrick Corcoran stated that he was one of the trus-
tees of the society, and resided at No. 3, North-place,
Portman-marke. On the 11th of last month the trus-
tees received from the Provident Institution, St. Mar-
tin's-lane, the sum of. 251., which sum they delivered
into the treasurer's hands on the 15th, at the club-room.
Mullins, who was the treasurer, put the money into a
leather purse in the presence of witness and the other
trustees, and the purse was carefully locked up in the cash-
box. On the 20th of June the box was handed over to
the landlord. List night, when the club met, witness was
told that the money, with the exception of 51., was missing,
and as the prisoner WAS suspected to have stolen it, witceis
went for en officer and the pri,oner was given into cus-
tody. No portion ( f the money had been found.
James Tier, landlord of the Royal Tent, 5, Silver-
street, said the society was held at his house. On the
24th of June last witness received the club box from
his wife, and placed it in his bar parlour. The keys of
the box were kept by the society..

Thu prisoner denied all knowledge of the robbery.
The box had three keys, one of which was kept by him
and the other two by the trustees. He was positive the
money was safe when he gave the box to Mrs. Ker, on
the 20th. _ _ _

A witness [proved seeing the prisoner take out the
notes on the night of the 20th of June, and put them
in his pocket. Witness did not take any notice of
this as the prisoner, in his capacity of treasurer, had the
paying of the sick members. When witness heard that
the money was missing, he informed the members of the
club of what he had seen.
The prisoner said he could explain this, he had occa-
sion: to take out c f the box two sovereigns to give to
some sick members, and as the notes were in the way
he removed them. and held them in his hand until he
had put the remainder of the gold away, when he placed
the two 101. notes in a separate purse, and locked the
box in the presence of the trustees.
Mr. BnrnaAei said the circumstances of the robbery
were very suspicious, but as there was not sufficient evi-
dence to warrant a further remand, he should discharge
him.
