at various points on the read to Birmingbain, two,
three, and four hours after the burglary was com-
mitted, without his trowsers, shows, or stockings. A
witness also swore that, three or four hours be--
fore the burglary occurred, the prisoner had en-
gaged a lodging for himself and a female corn-
panion at the witness's house in Bromsgrove for the
night, and that he bad, after engaging the lodging
left the house, and had never returned. It also ap-
peared that the prisoner's wife, when the policeman
called at the prisoner's house, declared that she had
not seen him for a month past.
Mr. RICILIADS, on behalf of the prisoner, endea-
voured to shake the evidence of identity, and showed
that the wife's denial arose front the fact of the pri-
soner bring in debt, and from her mistaking the
policemen in undress for- bailiffs endeavouring to
arrest her husband under a writ which was then out
against him. After an anxious attempt to dispose of
the evidence of identity, Mr. Richards concluded a
humourous,address by assuring the jury that the pri-
soner culla es►ablish a most satisfactvry alibi. "The
mother and brother of the prisoner," the Learned
Counsel observed, " were undoubtedly open to the
imputation of being interested witnesses, but yet were
naturally the only persons who could prove the pri-
soner to have been at home and in bed at the hour
when the burglary was committed."

They were called, and swore to the prisoner having
remained at home from eight o'clock in the evening
of the 21st until nine o'clock on the morning of
the 221.

Mr. HIIDDLESTON made an able reply on the whole
case.

The jary, after some deliberation, returned a ver-
dict of Guilty.
The prisoner was transported for the term of ten
years.

WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Salisbury, March 11.
(Before Mr. Justice TALFOURD.)
Henry Hyde and James Baker were indicted, with
Charles Baker, not in custody, for being out at night
armed for the purpose of destroying game in a coppice,
in the occupation of the Right Hon. Sidney Herbert,
on the morning of the 2d December.
Mr. Slade conducted the case for the prosecution.
The case was proved by two gamekeepers, who
swore positively to having seen the men in a coppice
on the morning of the 2d December, where game
abounded. The prisoners that night made their
escape, but. were apprehended on the following
Tuesday morning.
For the prisoner Hyde several witnesses were called
to establish an alibi, and one of them swore that be
himself was the man who had accompanied the two
Bakers, and that it was not Hyde.
A man named Goodfellow here volunteered to give
evidence on behalf of the prisoner Hyde, and stated
that the witness who had sworn he was the man who
had accompanied the Bakers had told him the same
story.
In his cross examination Goodfellow admitted that
he was the secretary to an association which had been
established for the protection of poachers, with a view
to obtaining an alteration in the game-laws. Seve-
ral gentlemen were members of this association. He
(Goodfellow) had many times received money from
air. Collett to pay fines which had been imposed upon
per sons convicted of poaching, and he bed paid for
certificates for those leraons, so that they might law-
fully shoot game.
Mr. Justice TALFOUND, in the course of his sum-
ming up, observed that an association for the purpose
of protecting people who broke the law, and for the
purpose of paying the fines, was a direct encourage-
nter,t for the breach of the law, and he was sorry gen-
tlemen associated with such persons. Instead of ad-
vancing their cause they would bring discredit upon
it. If certificates were taken out to enable those
persons to kill game 'iron other persons' property, he
had no hesitation in saying that was an unlawful act.
He should like to know what those gentlemen would
think if these men were out and an affray took place,
a keeper was killed, and the men were hung. He
thought they were playing a very dangerous game
to support persons in this way. They made a great
mistake.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-110USB.
Walter Watts, the lessee of the Olympic Theatre,
was brought before Alderman Gibbs in the custody
of Daniel Forrester the officer, charged, as the war-
rant granted fur his apprehension stated, with having
stolen, taken, and carried away an order for the pay-
ment of money, to at it, for the payment of 1,4001.,
and one piece of paper, of the value of id., the pro-
party, goods and chattels of George Carr Glyn, his
master, against the form of the statute, &c.
Mr. Freshfield, of the firm of Freshfield and Co.,
solicitors to the Bank of England, attended for the
prosecution ; Mr. Bodkin, instructed by Mr. Wont-
ner, appeared for the prisoner.
Mr. Freshfield having brie fly stated the facts, from
which it appeared that the prisoner, who hed been a
clerk in the Globe Insurance-office, had contrived to
make such alterations in his pass-book which pre-
vented for some time the detection of the robbery,
celled the following witnesses to show that the money
had been appropriated by the prisoner:—
David Nicholls, clerk in the London and West-
minster Bsnk, Lothbury, said the prisoner kept an
account at our hank. On the 14th of February he
came to our offices with a cheque for 1,4001. to pay in
to hiS account. I took notice cf the cheque, and ob-
served that it was drawn on a form like those pro-
duced, and had, I believe, four signatures attached to
it. The wording of the cheque was " for a policy"
with several figures. The cheque was upon Messrs.
Glyn's, and was presented at about two o'clock on
the, same day, and the prisoner was credited the
moiled in his account, which he has since drawn out,
with the exception of about 281.
W. Steele, clerk to Messrs. Glyn and Co., of
Lombard-street, bankers, said, on the 14th of
February I paid a cheque of 1,4001. of the Globe
Insurance Cotapany. It was on one of their forms,
and was paid to the London and Westminster Bank,
and the cheque was deposited in the usual place.
The pass-book is returned to the Globe Insurance
Company every week, with the paid cheques and
vouchers.
F. J. Roar, clerk in the Globe Insurance-office,
said, the prisoner is a clerk in the Globe Insurance-
office. He left that office on the sth of March, and
has not been there since. These are the forms used
by our office for cheques. It was the prisoner's duty
to check the paid cheques off with the pass-book.
Under the date of the 19th of February, there is tin
erasure in the pass-book, and over the erasure there is
written, in the prisoner's handwriting, " life policy
7,619, 4471. is. 31." The paid cheques were placed
in an open drawer, of which no one in particular hail
charge. It was the prisoner's duty to tick them off,
and then place them in that drawer. I have searched
it, hut could not find the cheque for 1,4001.
Cross-examined by Mr. Bodkin—The prisoner's
office was the accountanee-office, in which there are
three other clerks, who also had access to the room in
which the cheques were kept. I was present on the
sth of March when the prisoner left the office, and
his papers were sealed up by order of the deputy-
chairman. The secretary was also present. The
prisoner had attended to his duty down to that time.
Mr. Bodkin—Did he not say it was too bid that,
after his long services, he should he obliged to leave
the office ? Witness—l did not hear him say any-
thing of the kind.
Mr. Bodkin—Did he not, upon leaving the office,
use words to the effect that he should be • in the way
to be found ? Witness—No; I think he had an op-
portunity of seeing the deputy-chairman and the se-
cretary before he went away.
Daniel Forrester—l had a warrant to apprehend
the prisoner put into my hands on Friday, and I used
all diligence to apprehend him. I went to his house
and was told he was not at home, and had not bean
there since Thursday morning.
Cross-examined by Mr. Bodkin—l was told he was
the lessee of the Olympic Theatre. I went there
with a person who inquired for the prisoner, but
could not find him. The prisoner met me by ap-
pointment at the office of Mr. Wontner, his solicitor,
and sail that having been given to understand that I
had a warrant against him he came forward volun-
tarily.
