he took all three of the pasties into custody on sus-
picion. He had bad Edwins an 1 his wife in custody
on a similar charge about three years ago, when they
were sentenced to two months' imprisonment.
Brett, 13, corroborated witness's statement, and
added further, that he had been watching the move-
ments of the prisoners for some time previous, and
had seen Edwins pushing his wife towards gentlemen
as they were passing.
From a statement made by the prisoner Clarke, it
appeared that he was in employ at a very good amount
of wages, and had been out rather late on the evening
in question, looking at a fire that occurred on the
other side of the water.
. Alderman CHALLIS said the evidence was not of a
sufficiently criminating nature against Clarke, and be
would therefore discharge him. With regard to the
other two, he would remand them to ascertain more
about their general character during the time since
they were last in custody.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A young man named Cooper was brought up for
final examination, charged with having uttered several
forged betting-tickets, with intent to defraud the
parties who advanced money upon them.
Mr. Clifford, landlord of the Three Doves public-
house, Berwick-street, said on the 26th of May the
prisoner came into his house, and after some conver-
sation about the Derby, induced him to lend him 61.
on the security of what purported to be a betting
ticket, issued by a betting man named Davis, at
Searle's public-house, Salisbury-street, Strand. Wit-,
ness having his suspicions excited soon after the pri-
soner left the house, he went to Searle's, and was told
the ticket was a forgery.

_
A niece of Mr. Searle's said she formerly attended
to betting matters for Mr. Davis, who at that time
kept a betting-book at the house. The writing on the
ticket was not in her handwriting.
Mr. Wontner said he was prepared to show a guilty
knowledge on the part of the prisoner that the ticket
was forged, by bringing forward evidence to prove
that this was not the only transaction of the same
kind in which the prisoner had been engaged.
Mr. Davis, for the prisoner, cross-examined Mr.
Clifford, with the view to show that the Si. had been
parted with in the way of a bet. Mr. Clifford ad-
mitted that a bet of Si. had been made, but repeated
he had lent the Si. on the faith of the ticket proffered
to him being a genuine betting ticket.
Mr. William Davie, of Swinton-street, Gray's Inn-
road, said he was in independent circumstances. He
betted on horse-rices, kept a betting-book, and when
he made bets he gave a card, but not in the form of
the ticket now produced. The ticket was a forgery.
On cross-examination, witness said, in the early
part of the year, all the family of the Searles had au-
thority to issue tickets in his absence.
Mr. Searle, the landlord, was called, and he said the
ticket was not issued by him nor by any one of his
family.
Mr. Arthur Reveck, landlord of the Shakspere's
Head, Little Russell-street, said in April last the pri-
soner called on him, and after making a bet of 2/.,
left him a ticket as security for the 21., which witness
paid him at the time. The ticket was pronounced a
forgery.
Mr. Davis said he could not swear that the ticket
had not been issued on his account. Could only say
he had no betting-book for that race at the Windsor
Castle public-house, from whence the ticket purported
to be issued, at the time the race was run.
Tne prisoner reserved his defence, and was fully
committed.
