to receive the small savings of the poor, from ld.
to 20s. at a time, and pay them the accumulations
at the end of the year to expend in clothing and
fuel. The depositors were very poor, hardworking
peop!e, and if the money was not returned to the ap-
licants there would be a great deal of suffering.
Mr. YARDLEY hoped the poor people would be
paid the whole of their savings. He directed Wit-
tleton, 152 K, one of the summoning officers attached
to the court, to make inquiries.
Some time afterwards, Mr. Harris, clerk of St.
James's, Ratcliff, came to the court to make some ex-
planation, 11e was accompanied by a host of persons,
who were very indignant, and said they had been
tricked of their money. Mr. Yardley basing retired
from the bench, and his place having been taken by
' Mr. Ingham, the parish-clerk could not give the ex-
planation he wished, and he was, moreover, informed
that the migistrates had no jurisdiction in the mater
at all, and that the officer was merely directed to make
inquiries to relieve the minds of the depositors, and
to obtain the interposition of the trustees, if any, but
none had been found.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
THe LATE DARING ROBBERY AND ATTEMPTED
STRANGuLan ,N IN NORTON-STREET.— William Thomp-
son, alias the " Black Diamond," was brought before Mr.
Bingham for having been concerned with two other men
not in custody, in committing ft most daring robbery,
accompanied with violence, on the person of Mr. AdA-
phus Dub:iis, dentist, Prinecs-street, Lebrster-squtre.
The pxrticulars of the former examination appeared
in this journal on Thursday last. Th-3 prisoner was
now defended by Mr. Cross, solicitor, of Surrey-stree-,
Tho evidence adduced en the former examination
having been read over by Mr. Leadky, the chief clerk,
the prisoner's solicitor proceeded to examine the prose-
ca:or as to his identity of the prisoner, but elicited
no'hing whatever to shake the evidence he o.Tered on the
previous ocessio,, be (the prosecutor) being confident
the prisoner was the man who gagged and robbed
him. Several gentlemen who had been robbed by similar
means were in court, but could not distinctly swesr
that the prisoner was the person who had committed the
efface,.
The prisoner, who persisted in his innocence, was fully
committed for trial.
