fit. The accused farther said that he used no more violence '
in any way than was necessary to recapture Chandler, and de-
nied that he had struck him in the way sworn to by several
witnesses.
Sergeant Moody said that at the station Grady refused to pre-
fer any charge, the money having been given up to him, and
Chandler therefore was liberated.
Mr. ItawLiNsos-Have you any witnesses to call ? De-
fendant.—There is no one here, sir, at present.
Mr. Itawusrsoar—This is the worst case which has been
brought before me, with regard to police misconduct, for a
long while. It is greatly to be regretted that such a man as
you was ever admitted as a member of the force, and if I were
not fully aware that the offence of which yen have been guilty
will be attended with the loss of your situation, I should ter-
tainly convict you in the highest penalty, namely, 101. ; you are
fined 5/:, and if you don't pay that you'll be committed.
The defendant was then locked up, and at one o'clock was
conveyed in the Government van to prison, where he will be
incarcerated for a month.

WORSHIP-STRF,F.T.
Carolina Mason, an artful-looking girl, about sixteen years
of age, was placed at the bar for final examination, before Mr.
Bingham, charged with having stolen numerous articles of
wearing apparel and other property, from various children of
tender years.
It appeared that, in consequence of complaints having, for a
considerable time past, been received at the Spitalfields station-
house from the parents of children who had been decoyed into
obscure places, and stripped of their clothing by a young woman,
whose person they accurately described, several officers re-
ceived special direction to endeavour to trace nut the offender;
and on Friday morning last, Police-constable Zinzan, 67 H,
while on duty near Shoreditch Church, observed the prisoner
accost several unprotected children, and eventually lead away
one of them, a little girl named Buckingham, with whom she
went to a pawnbroker's shop, on quitting which she sud-
denly left the child, and walked hastily off. The officer imme.
diately questioned the girl, from whom he elicited that she
had been sent by her mother to pledge a waistcoat for 25., and
that on leaving the pawnbroker's she was stopped by the pri-
soner, who announced herself as one of her aunts, from the
country, and by that representation not only induced her to
deliver up the amount of the pledge, but sent her back to
obtain another shilling upon it, which,together with the dupli-.
cote, she also took possession of. On hearing this statement,
the officer instantly pursued the prisoner, whom he overtook
at a short distance, and having found both the money and du-
plicate in her possession, took her into custody.
Other cases of a similar description were then gone into, and
the prisbne, , who declined offering any defence, was committed
for trial upon all the charges.
Charles Rawlings was charged with having stolen several
articles of plate, the property of M. Arlene Cellier, a French
gentleman, residing in Mare street, Hackney.
It appeared korn the evidence of the prosecutor, that he had
employed the prisoner to attend at hii house for some hours of
a morning to assist the other servants, and soon after his de-
parture on llonday last, it was discovered that two silver spoons
had disappeared from the I antry, to which he had access ; but,
in the absence of any direct evidence against him, no notice
was then taken of the circumstance. On the following
morning, however, another spoon, and a plated fish-fork
having been also missed, the prisoner was taxed with
the robbery, which he at once acknowledged having com-
mitted, and made the following statement in extenua-
tion of his conduct : Having gone to Petticoat.lane to
purchase a cheap pair of shoes, he was accosted, while looking
about him by a Jew, who engaged him in conversation, and
after ingeniously extracting from biro the particulars of his
situation, urged him to purloin as much of his master's plate as
he could lay his hands upon, and promised that on bringing it
to him at the corner of a court, where he took his stand every
day to negotiate such transactions, he would give him aliberal
price for it. He unfortunately yielded to the Jew's overtures,
but had no sooner sold him the produce of the first robbery,
for which he only received ls. 3d., than this crafty accomplice
sharply intimated that he was then in his power, and that un-
less he brought him other articles of greater value he would
betray him to justice. Under the apprehension produced by
this threat, he was prompted to-commit the second robbery, for
which he was paid Is. 6d., and had made arrangements to
steal a silver toastrack and dispose of it in a similar manner,
when the discovery took place which led to his apprehension.
Mr. BI24GHA It said he thought it advisable, under the cir-
cumstances, to allow the officer more time for investigating the
facts of the case, and he should remand the prisoner for tha'
purpose.

LAMBETH.
Mr. Metcalf, a chethist and druggist, residing in the Wel.
worth-road, appeared before Mr. Norton, to answer to a sum-
mons calling upon him to show cause why he detained a valua•
ble gold watch, the property of Mr. Iduckman, who is a'
present labouring under insanity.
Mr. Games, who attended on behalf of Mr. Sawbone, the
cousin of the lunatic, apprised the magistrate of the facts of
the case, and from his statement it appeared that on Saturday
week Mr. Buckman, who was in business as an oilman, left his
house at an early hour, drove about in a cab to various whole-
sale houses in his line of business. gave orders for large quan-
tities of goods, more than he could sell for seven years, and on
his way home had entered the shop of Mr. Metcalf, where he
made some purchases, and also, it appeared, agreed to give Mr.
Metcalf 151. for a receipt for the manufacture of some article
or other, and as a guarantee for payment had deposited his gold
watch with the vendor. On returning home the same day
Mr. Buckman was found to be in such a state that his friends
deemed it necessary to place him under restraint, and he was
still unfortunately under the charge of a keeper.
The defendant proceeded to say that Mr. Buckman came
to his house and purchased some custard powder and other
articles to the amount i.f about 21. ; he also agreed to pay him
151. for a receipt, and was abOut to write a cheque for the
money, but he (Mr. Metcalf) told him that, as he was a
stranger to him, he would prefer the money, or some security,
upon which he (Mr. Buckman) left his watch.
Mr. NORTON—What was the nature of the receipt you sold
to Mr.-Buckman? Mr. Metcalf—A receipt for making cus-
tard powder.
Mr. Games—Did Mr. Buckman remain for same time at
your house ? Mr. Metcalf—He
Mr. Games—And you had a good deal of conversation with
him ? Mr. Metcalf—Yes, a good deal. '
Mr. Games—Theni now ask you; whether from that con-
versation you had not discovered that this unfortunate young
man was not in his right senses? Mr. Metcalf-No, I did not.
He appeared to ens to be perfectly rational.
Mr. Games—Well, Sir, I now ask you whether any indi-
vidual in his senses would have given you one shilling for this
custard-powder receipt you speak of? Mr. Metcalf—l do say
there are, and that the receipt was worth the money. It was
his own proposition, and he offered me 30/., provided I con•
sented to discontinue its manufacture ; and also agreed to take
the stock of the article I had on hand at a valuation. I have
sold from 4001. to 5001. worth of the article in the last twelve
months, and, therefore, the receipt was worth the sum agreed
upon.
Mr. Games informed the magistrate that the unfortunate
young man, whose bereavement had led to the present pro-
ceedings, was' outside, in custody of his keeper, and was about
to be plated in Bethlehem ; and the only object Mr. Sawbone,
his cousin, had in view in taking the present course was, that
his property might be secured.
It was finally agreed that the complainant should pay for the
articles purchased from the defendant, except the receipt, and
also give him an indemnity for the watch; and Mr. Metcalf
upon these terms delivered it sip.

• WOOLWICH.
Anne Warmer was charged with stealitig twelve gowns,
and eight stiawls from the shop of Mr. Delane, a pawnbroker,
and a-,:'nair, the property of David Driver, under the following
si'.4ular circumstances.
From the evidence of J. Harley and John Foley, two shop-
men of the prosecutor, it appeared that the prisoner had been
in the habit of calling at the shop almost daily for the last
month, under the pretext of inquiring about some articles of
wearing apparel, which she stated were pledged there. The
books were searched, but no such articles could be discovered.
Though it would appear that she availed herself gif every visit
to plunder the owner of some article,' no suspicion was aroused
until the day previous, when she was seen leaving the shop with
something under her arm. Information was then given to the
police, and the prisoner was apprehended by Sergeant Hunt, R
32. She then gave a false name and address, but the sergeant
having discovered her lodgings, searched them, and found all
the missing articles, which were identified by Mr. Delane's
shopmen ; the chair was also identified by Mr. Driver.
The prisoner, who had an infant at the breast and another
scarce►y three years old by her side, asserted that the articles
formed part of her own property.
Mr. JEREMY committed her for trial.

HAMMERSMITH.
Thomas Farringdon, potman at the Hoop public-house,
Kensington Gravel-yits, was brought up before Dlr. T. Payn-
ter, the sitting Magistrate, for final examination, on a charge
of having embezzled various sums of money, which he had re-
ceived for and on account of his employer.
Susan Peck, the wife of Abraham Peck, deposed that she
lived at No. 2, New-street, Kensington Gravel-pits. Witness
has her beer from Mrs. Janes, the Hoop public house, and the
prisoner had been in the habit of delivering it. On Sunday,
the' 4th of August last, witness paid the prisoner Is. for beer
supplied by Mrs. Janes during the previous week.
Mary Harwood, wife of Mr. Henry Harwood, deposed that
she lived at No. 5, Johnson-street, Notting-hill.. On Sunday,
the 24th of August last, the prisoner delivered a pot of beer at
witness's house, and she paid him 4d. for it.
Jo-eph Jenkins deposed that he lived at No. 37, New-street,,
Kensington Gravel-pits. Witness v.'as in the habit of having:
his beer from the Hoop public-house, which the prisoner used
to deliver. On Monday, the ;2.5th of August last, witness{
paid him 4s. for the beer prosecutrix had sent during the week.
Policeman Allen, T 57, deposed that from information he
received he apprehended. the prisoner at about quarter-past
eight o'clock on
,Tuesday night. the. 26th at a beer-shop
.in Notting ,Dale. Witness told him what he
.was charged',
with, and he said Mrs. Janes could mike nothing more,of
than a debt. . Witness only found threepence-halfpenny on,
him.'
The prisoner said he had got too much to drink, and spent
more money than he ought- He was fully committed to New-,
gate for trial.•
After the night charets were gene through, Mr. Haskard,,
the relieving officer for the Hammersmith portion of the Fulhant,
Union, brought an Irish woman named Mary Cotterell, andi
her grand-daughter, a girl about ten years of age, before the;
magistrate for the purpose of an order tieing made for their re-:
meval to the native place of the fortner, in the county isf Cork.
Mr. PaYsirx a, on the necessary papers being handed to
him by Mr. Haskard, inquired if they had been drawn out ac-
, cording to the provisOns of the new Act of Parliament ?
Mr. Haskard, who appeared surprised at the question, said
they were drawn out in the usual manner. He was not
aware that any new Act of Parliament had been passed on the
subject.
Mr. PAN.NTEs said neither was he until a few days since;
when his attention was drawn to it. He was not himself
aware what was the difference between the old and the new
law, but as a copy of the Act had been. received at that
Court, he would see what the difference was. The worthy,
magistrate having examined the new statute, said it was the,
Bth and 9th Victoria, cap. 117, which received the royal
ascent on the Bth of August last, and was now in force. 'rise
alterations were, that most of the previous Acts are repealed,
and in future all orders for the removal of Scotch and Irish,
paupers, or persons born on the islands of Man, Scilly,
Jersey, or Guernsey, chargeable in England, are to be applied
for by the guardians of the union in which the parish to
which they are chargeable may be situate, and in those parishes
only not in union have the parochial officers now any powei
to do so.
Mr. Haskard said he was not aware that such .an Act of
Parliament was in existence.

The father and mother were married while the vessel was lying
in the Cove of Cork, and the former, who was an Englishman,
died, but the mother, she believed,
.was still alive in India •
Mr. PAINTER said he had then no power to remove the girl
to Ireland. Having been born on the seas, she was, therefore,
an English child, and he could not take upon himself to send
her to Ireland.
Mr. Haskard said the name Rankin was an Irish name; and
as they were married at the Cove of Cork, it was mostprobable
that the father was an Irishman.
Mr. PAINTER considered it was not. It was quite English.
The evidence was that it was English, and he had no power to
send her to Ireland. If the child liked to go she might.
The order for the removal of the grandmother was then made.
Mr. Haskard asked whst the girl wee to do? There would
