ROBBERY AT THE CIVIL SERVICE CO-OPERA-
TIVE STORES.—George ➢i'Donald, a counterman at
the Civil Service Co-operative Stores, No. 23, Hay-
market, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with
stealing some biscuits and a pot of potted ham, thl
property of the Civil Service Co-operative Com-
pany.

Mr. F. Pike, the secretary of the company, said
that on Saturday afternoon his attention being
sailed to the prisoner, he asked him what he had in
his pockets, and took from them some biscuits, and
the prisoner took out the rest, admitting that he
had taken them, and, after appealing for mercy,
stated that the biscuits was all he had got. A pot
of potted ham was given up by the prisoner. For
the protection of the other men employed the priso-
ner was then given into custody.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, Mr. Pike said the
prisoner had been in the employ of the company
about nine months.

The prisoner said they had been taking stock and
be had been drinking freely. He put the biscuits
into his pocket, but he did not remember putting
the pot of barn in. He hoped the magistrate would
not convict hint of stealing the things as it would
ruin him, but make it a case of unlawful possession.
Mr. Tyrwbitt asked Mr. Pike whether the pri-
soner would be dismissed from his situation ?

Mr. Pike said he would.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner.

How PEOPLE ARE KILLED IN THE PUBLIC STREETS.
—A brickmaker, who gave the name of William
Davis, was brought before Mr. Benson charged with
furiously driving a horse and cart while he was in a
state of drunkenness.

Last night Mr. Buckingham, an inspector in the
service of the Commercial Gas Company, saw the
prisoner driving a horse and cart i n a most
furious and reckless manner along Stepney-green,
and several persons narrowly escaped being run
down. Turning the corner of a very wide road at
the entrance of the Hannibal-road he came in con-
tact with a gas lamp•post, and knocked it out of
the perpendicular. The cost of making good the
damage would be 7s. 6d. The prisoner gave his
address Bow Common. The police could not find
any one bearing that name on Bow Common. The
prisoner now said that he was in the service of
Mr. Thomas Morris, contractor, whose horses stood
on Bow-common. He admitted that he was tipsy.
Mr. Benson said it was a most disgraceful and
dangerous proceeding to be driving through the
crowded roads and streets of Stepney on a Suntlay
evening. He tined the prisoner 2s. 6d. for being
drunk, and 7s. 6d. the amount of damage done,
and in default seven days' imprisonment.

formed that her daughter was being " kilt and
murthered" in Rosemary-lane, and she found her
daughter, Sarah Briant, in the hands of Mrs. Dug-
gan. " She had been murthering her all the even-

Irish exaggeration, " and she then bate me to
death," said the woman, Mrs, Duggan was taken
