BOW-STREET.

THE Boox TRAUE.—Yesterday John Taylor, a town
traveller, was brought before Mr. Jardine for final ex-
amination, charged with stealing a number of valuable
books, the property of Mr. H. Bohn, bookseller and
publisher of York-street, Covent-garden ; and John
Millard, appeared on his recognixances to answer the
charge of having them in his possession, supposed with
a knowledge of their having been stolen.
Constable Matthews, F, proved that he apprehended
Taylor at the prosecutor's house on the 25th of No-
vember, after which he went to his lodging, 4, Ravens-
worth-street, Hackney-road, where he found, and
brought away, 169 volumes ; and on the following day,
having gone to the shop of Millard, the prosecutor asked
him where were the two parcels he had received from
Taylor the day before, upon which he said, " Is there
anything wrong ? I always thought he was a very
respectable man. I did buy some second-band bo,,ks
from him, which were very much soiled, and it took
us all the day to clean them." The prosecutor then
said, " It is no use to deny them; you had better bring
them forward;" and Millard produced thirteen bound
books, uncut, and all new, saying, "This is all; I gave
two guineas fur them;" but the prosecutor said, "It is
not all, I saw more this morning," referring to books
which Millard said he had sent to Clapham. Being told
that they had been seen at his shop in the morning, he
produced three other " Books of Gems," saying, " that
is all;" after which he said he had not paid for them,
and bad received the parcels which he had opened only
the night before.
_

Mr. JARDINE said there was so much in the trade re-
specting "throws off" and soiled sheets, it was no won-
der that such circumstances should daily take place, and
having ordered Taylor to be fully committed for trial,
directed Millard to enter into his own recognizances in
the sum of 1002 to appear at any future time and an-
swer any charge that might be preterred against him.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Captain Carleton wished to know whether he could
have a search warrant under these circumstances: —A
few mornings ago a man called a cab to draw up before
the door of his house in Jermyn-street. The man opened
the street door with a latch key, and from the hall, with
the assistance of the cabman, he removed a heavy port-
manteau, and placed it in the cab, telling the driver to
proceed to the Waterloo•road station. The cabman, be-
lieving the man belonged to the house, and that he was
going by railway, had no suspicion of anything wrong,
and took the fare to the Waterloo-road. Here the man
alighted, and the trunk being placed on the steps of the
door of a house, the cabman was paid his fare, and drove
off. The robbery was soon afterwards discovered, and
as the trunk contained valuable property, information
was given to the police, who soon traced out the cabman
and obtained readily from him the above particulars.
Applicant believed that the portmanteau would be found
in the house at the door of which it was placed, and
he wished for a search-warrant to determine that point.
Inspector Whall said he doubted whether the port-
manteau had been taken into the house.
Mr. BINGHAM would not grant the search-warrant, but
referred the applicant to the Southwark Police-courr.
WORSHIP-STREET.
A respectably-dressed man, named George Hopwood,
described es a backgammon-board manufacturer in
Anne's place, Hackney-road, and his wife, Edith Hop-
wood, a comely and delicate-looking young woman, were
placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged with cut-
ting and wounding a young woman named Jane Parnell,'
with intent to murder

Mr. Heritage, on behalf of the accused, said that be
was instructed to give a total denial to the charge,
which had originated in feelings of mortification and
resentment on the part of the woman Parnell, in conse-
quence of her having been discarded by the male pri-
soner in favour of his lawful wile; and he should be able,
on a future occasion, to produce convincing evidence to
prove that neither of the accused persons had loft home
at all upon the evening in question.
Mr. ARNOLD ordered both the prisoners to ba re-
mand.d for a week. _

Eli Denton, un elderly man, who stood charged
with a criminal assault upon a young girl named Emma
Bennett, the daughter of an actor, was placed at the bur
for final examination.

The only additional witness now examined was Mr.
Thomas Meares, the divisional surgeon of police, whose
evidence was of a nature which cannot be particularly,
detailed, but went to prove that the girl had been sub-
jected to such violence as to lead to the conclusion that
the capital offence had been committed.
In answer to a question from the Magistrate, the
officer who apprehended the prisoner stated that he had
used every exertion to trace out the young woman's fs-
ther, by whom she alleged she had been deserted, but all
his efforts had been unsuccessful; and the Wife of the
landlord of the house where the offence had been perpe-
trated was too near her confinement to admit of her at-
tendance.

The depositions were then completed by Mr. Vine,
the chief clerk, and the prisoner, who earnestly pro-
tested his innocence, was fully committed to Newgite
for trial.

Mr. ARNOLD acknowledged his receipt of a letter from
a gentleman using the initials " E. A. D.," enclosing a
half•sovereign for the relief of the young woman Emma
Bennett, with a discretion to apply it otherwise if he
should think proper.
