LAW INTELLIGENCE.
ARCHES' COURT, Aug 5.

had been drinking in company at a public-house in Donnington,
kept by a man named Bosworth, the night previous to the rob-
ber), and that along with the rest of the company they
left about half-past eleven o'clock. From Bosworth s, Mr.
Newbold proceeded to the house of the prisoner's father,
and he there found that he had not been at home during the
night. On the morning of the 5111, about five o'clock, the
prisoner, Dixon, and Hood called at a public-house called
the Paul Pry, about six miles on the Ashby road, and thence
they were all three traced together to a public-house at
Ashby, where they stopped all day. In the first part of the
journey Hood was without a hat, hut on his arrival at
A•hhy, he had on a blue cap, which he had stolen from the
Paul Pry. When in the public-house at Ashby, the prisoner
Oldershaw said they had run away from Castle Donnington for
poaching, and he exhibited a number of table and tea-spoons, a
mousselin-de-laine dress, anti a towel. Not content with the
mere exhibition of these articles he presented the landlady with
a teaspoon for her baby, and also with a towel, both of which
she now produced at the trial, and swore most positively to the
prisoner. These articles were identified by members of Mr.
Sterling's fam.ly as stolen on the night of the robbery. For
several weeks no tidings were heard of the supposed thieves—
Dixon and Hood are still out of the way—but a few days ago
the prisoner Oldershaw was apprehended at Loughborough.
These were the main facts of the case.
Mr. WI L LAIORE, for the defence, did not deny that a robbery
had been committed, and that the prisoner had been in pos-
session of the stolen articles, but from his instructions he
argued that on the night in question the prisoner, when in a
state of intoxication, had received the articles from the real
thieves, and that, when he came to his senses, he was so
alarmed upon hearing of the robbery that he was afraid to
return home.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the CHIEF BARON
sentenced him to 10 years' transportation.

(THIS DAY.)

THE OFFICE OF JUDGE PBOMOTED BY BARNES V. SHORE.
Sir H. JENNER FUST delivered his sentence in this case,
which was a proceeding against the Rev. James Shore, as a
minister of the Church of England, for performing Divine
service in an unconsecrated chapel at Berry Pomeroy, Devon,
without license from his diocesan, the Bishop of Exeter. The
present question was, as to the admission of a defensive allega-
tion on the part of Mr. Shore, pleading that he had seceded
from the Church of England, having taken the oaths as a Pro.
testant Dissenting minister, and that he was now a minister in
hely orders of a Protestant Dissenting congregation assembling
in the said chapel. The Learned Judge held that this allega-
tion was not admissible as a defence to the articles which had
been admitted. It appeared that Mr. Shore had been regularly
ordained, was a priest in holy orders of the Church of England,
and was licensed to preach in this chapel by his diocesan, the
Bishop of Exeter, and that license remained in force till the ith
of March, 1844; that on the 13th of March, 1844, notice was
served upon him of the revocation of his license ; that he then,
as he alleged, from conscientious motives, seceded from
the Church of England ; that is, he ceased to conform to the
Church of England, and that he was at the time the citation
issued, and is now, a Protestant Dissenting minister in holy
orders, and a preacher and teacher of a congregation of Pro-
testant Dissenters; that on the 16th of Match, 1844, he took
the oaths as a Protestant Dissenting minister, and (rem that
time has never officiated as a minister of the Church of Eng-
land, but as a Dissenting minister only. Now he (the Learned
Judge) thought it absurd to suppose that it was tenderness of
conscience that induced this gentleman to take the oaths
directed by the Toleration A3t three days only after his
license had been revoked. The Toleration Act were passed
to relieve persons of scrupulous consciences, not to exempt
clergymen of the Church of England frowi responsibility, if
they had in any way misconducted themselves; they were not
intended to apply to such cases. Surely it never could be
contended that a person could throw off his obligations as a
minister of the Church of England, by merely qualifying him-
self as a Protestant Dissenting teacher. He (the Learned
Judge) was yet to learn that any person could so throw off the
character of a clergyman after he had taken holy orders. He
apprehended that if such a person misconducted hirs.self, he
would still be liable to proceedings under the Church Discipline
Act, and be amenable to ecclesiastical punishment. Was it to
be contended that, if a minister of the Church of England was
guilty of immorality, he could escape all punishment except
any that he might be ►iable to by the common law, by merely
taking the oaths under the Toleration Act, and calling himself
a Dissenter ? Under these circumstances it was useless to ad-
mit the allegation, which lie therefore rejected.

OXFORD CIRCUI I .—Gloucester, Aug. 4.
CROWN COURT.
Mr. Justice PATTESON delivered a brief charge to the grand
jury, after which the Court proceeded with the trial of
William Gillespie, a young man of respectable appearance,
aged 2.4, who was indicted for having assaulted one Susannah
Cratchley, at Stroud, in this county, on the sth of July last,
with intent to commit a rape.
The prosecutrix stated, that upon the evening in question
she was walking about the streets of Stroud at about ten o'clock,
looking out for a truant brother, Miles by name. At about
half-past ten she met a man, who turned out to be the pri-
soner; she, thinking he was the object of her search, called
" Miles, Miles," when the prisoner answered, " I am not
Miles," and laid hold of her arm. She struggled hard to get
away, and begged him to let her go. He said he would net until
he had tffected his purpose. He then took indecent liberties
with her. She would not yield, and then the prisoner struck
her to the ground with a stick which he held in his right
hand. While on the ground she called out " Murder !" and
then succeeded in getting up. Prisoner knocked her down
again, and then walking off, apparently only a few yards, re-
turned, and endeavoured to persuade the girl that he knew
nothing of the transaction, and demanded of her, " Who has
done this? if I knew who it was I would give him a good
hiding." The prosecutrix was positive she was not mistaken
in the man, and that lie was the prisoner.
A respectable-looking woman named Hunt was attracted to
the spot by cries of " Murder r and observed the prisoner
standing by the side of the poor girl, and she (prosecutrix)
said, " You are the man who did it." He denied, and at last
offered the girl some money, and suggested that the charge
should he " fixed" upon somebody else. A policeman
(Bishop) came up, and took the prisoner into custody. Upon
being asked if he knew anything of the character of the pro-
secutrix, he stated that he had seen her walking about the
streets like a common prostitute.
His LORDSHIP summed up, and the jury found the prisoner
Guilty of a common assault; when the Learned Judge sen-
tenced him to be imprisoned in the common gaol for two calen-
dar months.

FRANKFORT V. FRANKFORT.
This was a question whether Lord Frankfort was entitled to
deduct from his payments of permanent alimony, which the
Court had allot'ed to Lady Frankfort, the property-tax.
The COURT intimated that it had been its intention that the
alimony should be paid clear of the tax; but as the question
depended upon the construction of the Property-tax Act, he
should take rime to consider it.

STONE V. STONE.
Sir FL JENNER FUST gave sentence in this case, which was
an appeal from the Consistory Court of London, in a suit
originally brought by Mrs. Harriet Stone against Mr. George
Stone, her husband, for a divorce, on the ground of cruelty and
adultery, which was met by Mr. Stone by a charge of adultery
against Mrs. Stone, who replied to this charge by alleging con-
nivance on his part. The Learned Judge in the Court below
held that Mrs. Stone's adultery was proved ; that Mrs. Stone
had failed in her proof of her charges, both of adultery and
connivance, and pronounced for a divorce at the prayer of the
husband. From this s, ntence Mrs. Stone appealed, so far as
related to the alleged adultery and connivance of Mr. Stone.
As the ease was very fully entered into in our report of the
judgment in the Court below, it will be sufficient to say that
the Learned Judge of this Court affirmed that judgment on all
points, being of opinion that there was not a shadow of proof in
evidence ui on which the Court could place any reliance, either
of the husband's adultery, or of his connivance at any adulte-
rous intercourse with Mr. Thomas Knox Hulmes, and conni-
vance at the adultery with Lord Sussex Lennox was not even
alleged. He pronounced against the appeal, and remitted the
cause.

WESTERN ClRCUlT—Bridgewater, Aug. 4.
CROWN COURT.
Robert Chard and Betsy Chard were indicted, the former
for burglariously breaking Into the house of John Nash, near
Taunton, and stealing a silver spoon, and the latter for receiv-
ing it knowing it to have been stolen.
It appeared that the prosecutor's house was properly fastened
up in the evening ; the next morning it was discovered that
the house had been broken open, and that a silver spoon and
other articles had been taken. Several other burglaries having
been committed in the neighbourhood, the house of the male
prisoner was searched, and several of the stolen articles were
found, and the female prisoner had possession of the spoon.
The prisoners were both found Guilty.
They were then indicted, the male prisoner for breaking into
the house of Mr. Hewett, and stealing two guns and a coun-
terpane.
It was clearly proved that Robert Chard was in possession of
most of the articles shortly after the robbery, and the counter-
pane was found in the female prisoner's box.
'1 he jury found the male prisoner Guilty, but Acquitted the

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
2111DLAAD ClRCUlT.—lcicester, Aug. 4.
The civil business having concluded on Saturday night, this
morning both the judges proceeded with the trial of prisoners.
(Before Mr. Justice AJAULE.)
William Newton was indicted for having, on the 16th of
June last, cut and wounded John Newton, with intent to do
him some grievously bodily harm.
The prosecutor (who is a retail brewer at Heather, in this
county) and the prisoner are brothers, and, as will be seen
by the following short statement of facts, the younger branches
of the family do not appear to live together in the most perfect
harmony. On the, 3d of last June, the prisoner, another
brother, named Henry Newton, and a man named Ewings,
were playing at bowls at the house kept by the prosecutor. In
the course of the afternoon the prisoner and Ewings tossed for
half-a-crown, and the money was won by the latter. It would
appear that the prisoner, on coming into the house, complained
that the money had not been won fairly, and several times
threatened to knock Ewings's head off. At last Ewings rose
from his seat, and the prisoner immediately knocked him down,
and when on the floor beat and kicked him severely. The
prosecutor, seeing the situation in which Ewings was
placed, said ‘• he would not stand by and see a man
killed in his own house," and proceeded to render him
assistance. For this purpose he attempted to drag the
prisoner away, when his brother Henry knocked him (the pro-
secutor) down, and when on the ground both of his brothers
kicked him violently. Ewings next attempted to assist the
prosecutor, who managed to get up and lean against a table,
his brother llenry, however, still holding him tightly by his
neckerchief- While in this position, the prisoner, who had left
the room for a moment, returned, and holding a knife over the
shoulder of Henry, and declaring "he would let out his pud-
dings," struck the prosecutor with it on the shoulder. The
table then gave way, and all three brothers fell on the fluor. ,
The prosecutor, whom Henry still held tightly by the throat,
when in that position, cried out, " Henry, leave loose of me,
Bill's sticking me." To this Henry replied with an oath,
" Let him stick thee; I wish he'd kill thee." When the
prisoner and Henry got up, the prosecutor laid hold of the
poker, with the view of protecting himself, but his assailants
left the house, and he was unable to pursue them for any dis-
tance. On his return he complained of being very faint, and
in about half an hour went to bed. He found that he was
stabbed en the arm, and also in the right loin. A surgeon was
called in, and the prosecutor was confined to his room for several
days. These were the main facts of the case, as proved by the
prosecutor, and corroborated by the evidence of his wife.
The jury found the prisoner guilty of the common assault,
and the Learned Judge sentenced him to six months' imprison-
ment and hard labour.
John Johnson, David Kirby, James Green, James Bris-
tow, Henry Bristow, and John Elston, were charged with
unlawfully and maliciously wounding Joseph Wardle, with in-
tent to prevent the lawful apprehension and detainer of the
said James Bristow, and with intent to do him some grievous
bodily harm.
Mr. Macauley conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Flood de-
fended Bristow, Green, and Illston ; and Mr. Wing Johnson
and Kirby.
On the night of Sunday, the Bth of June, it was alleged
that the prisoners were conducting themselves in a very disor-
derly manner in the public highway at Great Wi,ston. Kirby
was heard to say " come on, as if inviting one of his compa-
nions
to fight, whilst James Bristow, who was very drunk, used
the most indecent and offensive expressions. Such was the
conduct of the prisoners, that witnesses deposed it would not
have been safe or proper for any peaceable or decent person to
pass along the road in which the prisoners were. Wardle, the
constable, after requesting them to go along without disturb-
ing the public peace, determined upon taking James Bristow
into custody for being drunk and disorderly, whereupon he was
most violently assaulted by the whole party. He was dreadfully
beaten about the head, and ultimately laid prostrate upon the
ground by a blow upon the forehead from a stone.
Witnesses were called who clearly identified all the pri-
soners as active participators in the affray ; and it appeared
from the evidence of the surgeon, that for some days after the
assault was committed the prosecutor's life, owing to concus-
sion of the brain, was in imminent danger. The prisoners
Green, the two Bristows, and Liston, subs, quently decamped,
but in the course of the last month they were apprehended at
Hawick, in Scotland, where they were at work as stockingers
under assumed names.
Sir. Flood and Mr. Wing having addressed the jury on be-
half of their respective clients,
The prisoners were found Guilty, and sentenced to four
months' imprisonment each, with hard labour.
John Hineks ( who surrendered upon bail) was indicted for
feloniously wounding Elizabeth Griffin, with intent to do her
some bodily harm. -
Mr. Wing prosecuted, and Mr. Macaulay defended the pri-
soner.
This case, which was of a most distressing nature, was to
have been tried at the last assizes, but owing to the illness
of the prosecutrix it was postponed until the present. The
prisoner and prosecutrix were fellow- servants in the family
of Mr. Astell, at Newton Linford, and up to the time of the
assault complained of they had lived upon the best terms, and
both bore an excellent character. It appears that shortly
before the day in question the prisoner had represented to
the prosecutrix and her mistress that there were certain ob-
structions placed in the road close to the housewhich,
upon examination, proved not to be the case. In a day or
two after the prosecutrix told a younger male servant em-
ployed in the family to fetch her some coals, and, not bring-
ing them when required, he alleged that he had been detained
by the prisoner. The prosecutrix accordingly when she
next saw the prisoner charged him with preventing the boy
executing her directions. He replied, " She was a liar,"
to which the prosecutrix rejoined to the effect, " No, I never
said what you did about the road." The prosecutrix was
at this time in a stooping position, when the prisoner, irri-
tated by her observation, kicked her violently on the back
part of her person, and she fell forwards. The prose-
cutrix immediately exclaimed that she was much injured,
and blood flowed most copiously even through the chair on
which she was placed. The injuries to her person were of tie
most serious description. She was removed to the County
Hospital, of which she had been an inmate for 25 weeks ; and
to-day, in Court, she ',exhibited in her appearance strong evi-
dence of a long and painful illness.
Mr. MacaULAY, in his address to the jury, expressed, on the
part of the prisoner, his gnat regret for the offence lie had com-
mitted, and the suffering he had entailed upon the prosecutrix.
He acted under a momentary impulse of anger, but he hail not
the slightest intention to inflict the injury which was unfortu-
nately the result of his violence.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
Mr. Justice 'Vallee, in passing sentence upon the prisoner,
said he wes willing to believe the prisoner did not intend to in-
jure the prosecutrix to the extent he had done; but still no
circumstances could justify a man in striking, much less in
kicking, a woman. He sentenced him to six months' impri-
sonment and hard labour.
(Before the CHIEF BARON.)
Thomas Oldershaw, was indicted for burglariously break-
ing and entering into the dwelling-house of Alexander Ster-
ling, on the night of the 4th of June last, at Castle Donning-
ton, in this county, and stealing therefrom a quantity of plate
and other articles, the property of the said Alexander Sterling.
Mr. HILDYARD (the prisoner being defended by Mr. Will-
more) shortly stated the case on the part of the prosecution.
The evidence against the prisoner, as was considered by his
Lordship and the jury, was very conclusive. On the night of
the 4th of June, the family of Mr. Sterling (Mr. Sterling is
since dead) retired to rest between ten and eleven o'clock,
leaving all the fastenings secure, but about half-past one o'clock,
or from that to two o'clock, on the morning of the sth, some of
the inmates were alarmed by hearing the noise of men in the
hall and lower rooms of the house. One of them was heard to
exclaim to the other, " come on ;" but whether more than two
men had entered the dwelling, the inmates could not determine.
A young woman screamed out of the front window, and by a
cry of " Murder," alarmed the whole neighbourhood. The in-
truders then made their escape, but not without taking with
them five silver teaspoons, three tablespoons, a pair of saltspoons,
a towel, and a mothelin-de-laine gown piece. Upon examining
the premises it was found that the thieves had taken out a
pane of glass, and had by that means been enabled to unbolt a
shutter and obtain admittance into the house. The next point
was to discover the depredators, and amongst the earliest at
the house of Mr. Sterling was Mr. Newbold, the constable of
Castle Donnington. In the house was found a glazed leather
hat, which Newbold at once identified as the hat of Edward
(alias Teddy) Hood, a notorious character, with whom he had
been acquainted many years. He next ascertained that the
-prisoner, together with Hood and anotior man named Dixon,

woman.
Mr. Justice ERLE then sentenced Robert Chard to be trans-
ported for life, and Betsy Chard to be imprisoned and kept to
hard labour for twelve months.
Thei e were four other indictments against the prisoners.
James Adey and Marj Adey were indicted for having a
mould in their possession for the purpose of making counter-
feit coin.
It appeared that the male prisoner had taken lodgings in
'Taunton, where he and the female prisoner lodged. Mary Adey
having gone to the shop of Mr. Fisher (a very respectable iron-
monger in the town) a great many times, and bought at each
time half-a-dozen spoons of Britannia metal, that gentleman's
suspicion became excited. He procured a warrant, which he
placed in the hands of the police, and he desired his porter to
follow her the next time she came to the shop. On the 26th
of May she came again and purchased five spoons of the same
metal. The porter followed her, and saw what house she
entered. Information was given to the police, and the house
was pointed out to them ; they opened the door, and, upon
their going in, they saw the female prisoner, and told her they
had a warrant for her. She went up stairs and into a room in
the second floor ; they followed her, and in the room they saw
James Adey sitting at the fire with a ladle, having in it melted
metal, and in his hand was a mould of plasti-r of Paris, from
which melted metal was then running. In the room the police
found a very large quantity of counterfeit half-crowns, shillings,
and sixpences, and it was clearly shown that this system hai
been practised for many months, the woman always stating that
she told the spoons to farmers. On the occasion in question,
however, parts of the spoons were found in the room occupied
by the prisoners.
They were found Guilty, and sentenced to lb years' trans-
portation.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
YESTERDAY.
MANSION-HO USE.
George Potter, who was several days ago charged by.
Mr. Charles Fosbrook Mackenzie with having misap
propriated a bill of exchange for 1001., given to him to
get discounted, appeared for the purpose of undergoing
another examination.
Mr. Wontner appeared for the complainant.
Mr. M•Kenzie, it will be remembered, employed the '
defendant as an agent for negotiating the bill, but never
received a farthing fur the bill, nor anything else, except
promises from Potter, who studiously avoided him. At
last he received a letter from a person named Wood,
stating that he held the bill, having advanced 251. in
cash and goods upon it, and ultimately he was sued by
a Mr. Chisholm, solicitor, of No. 3, Cook's-court, Cary-
' street, to whom the bill was endorsed by one George
Colson, to whom it was endorsed by one Clarkson, to
whom it was endorsed by Wocd. Mr. Chisholm stated
on a former examination that the only person he knew
in the matter was Colson, who collected debts for him,
and brought him cases upon which he sued ; that he
had given valuable security for the bill, and that there
was a long account between him and Colson, in which
the latter was his debtor. Efforts were made to bring
forward, by means of summonses, the several parties
whose names were on the back of the bill, but nobody
appeared si xcept Mr. Chisholm, who attended with the
bill upon which he said he had been instructed by Wood

to sue.
Mr. Peter Chisholm produced the bill for 100/. lie
had received it from Colson, and it was made payable
at Ransom's, in Pall-mall. It was in consideration of a
long account between them.
Mr. Wontner then proceeded in his examination of
the witness.
Mr. Wontner—ls Colson your clerk ? Witness—
He is not.
Mr. Wontner—ls not his name on your door? Wit-
ness—Yes, but I do not call him my clerk.
Mr. Wontner—ls he your partner? Witness—No ;
he brings me business.
Mr, Wontner—ls he not your clerk? Witness—You
may call him my clerk if you please.
Mr. Wontntr—Dei you pay him a salary? Witness
—No. If he brings me business I generally make him
a present.
Mr. Wontner—Does he talic share of the profits of
your business? Witness—No; I give him what I please.
I give him perhaps 51. if he brings me what produces 201.
Mr. Wontner—lf he do not bring you business which
produces a profit, do you not give him anything? Wit-
ness—Nothing.
Mr. Wontner—Has he not entered appearances and
done other things as your clerk? Witness—He may
have done so in the cases lie has brought to me himself,
but not in any other business.
Mr. Wontner—Have you seen any affidavits or other
documents to which he has sworn as your clerk? Wit-

ness—No.
Mr. Wontner—Did you not swear, in the case
Hutchinson and Co., that Colson was your clerk?

ness—No.
Mr. Wontner—Did von not swear, in a case of fraudu-
lent bankruptcy, that he was your clerk? Witness---I
might have done so, but, in the opinion of the judges,
the case was not one of fraudulent bankruptcy.
Mr. Wontner—Do you know who Mr. Clarkson
is ? Witness—No ; but Colson told me he was a very
respectable man. Colson endorsed the bill for me as a
matter of course to sue upon.
Mr. Wontner—W hat passed at the time ? Witness—
Nothing passed.
Mr. Wontner —Can you tell me when it was endorsed
to you ? Witness—No.
Mr. Wontner--Had you any settlement of accounts
at the time ? Witness—No.
Mr. Wontner—Did you enter the transaction in your
books ? Witness—No. The bill was endorsed to me
before it was due.
The LORD MAYOR—When the bill was dishonoured
had the parties on the back of the bill notice of the fact ?
Witness—They had.
The LORD MAYOR—Where do the endorsers live ?
Witness—l do not know. I never knew any but Colson.
Mr. Wontner—W hen were the notices of dishonour
sent ? Witness—l do not know. I heard from Colson
that they had been sent.
Mr. Wontner—How many persons do business in this
way with you ? Witness—l decline answering that
question. I consider it a very impertinent one.
Mr. Wontner—llow many persons practise in your
name ? Witness—No person practises in my name.
Mr. Wontner—And you do not know Clarkson ?
Witness—l do not.
Mr. Wontner—Who presented the bill for payment ?
Witness—One of my clerks presented it.
Mr. Wontner—Doyou not know Potter ? Witness—
I never saw him before I saw him here in this trans-
action.

Here the name of Colson was called three times, but
no answer was returned, neither did any other of the in-
dorsers appear, although pains had been taken to fiud
out t.he'r places c f abode.
Mr. Wontner thanked the Lord Mayor for the readi-
ness with which facilities had been afforded him in
tracing the nefarious transaction, in which a gentleman

THE S uN, LON DON, WEDNESDA V tis,V EN 1 N C4, A EIG UST 6, 184

had been deprived of his bill without having received a
single farthing for it, and said that it was the intention
of the complainant to proceed against Potter and Wood,
by indictment, at the Central Criminal Court, for con-
:.piracy.
Putter was then discharged, the Lord Mayor being
pr,,veutcd from committing him by the negltct of Mr.
Mackenzie to give a written notice to the defendant with
the bill, intimating that he was to return it if he did not
succeed in getting it cashed. The bill was returned to
Mr. Chisholm.
The whole of the case attracted a great deal of curio-
sity and attention.

IN THE

BOW-STREET.
Yesterday two wretched children, named Isabella Spicer
and Ann Gardener, the one about twelve years old and the
other nine, were charged with stealing the clothes of a still
younger child, and leaving it almost naked, under one of the
-dark ages in the Adelphi.
It was proved that a little boy named Ford, three years of
age, was missed on Saturday evening last, from a yard in front
of his parents' house, in Milford-lane, Strand, where he had
been in the habit of playing. This was at about half-past six
o'clock, and in about two hours afterwards the child was found
shivering with cold under one of the Adelphi arches, by a labour-
ing man, who found him with nothing but a shirt upon his back,
and who having ascertained from him his name, and the situa-
tion of his mother's residence, was enabled to carry him home.
The child told his mother that two little girls took him away to
a dark place, and then stripped him of his clothes and ran
away. He said he should know them again if he saw them,
and on Monday evening, while walking with his mother near
the Essex-street Tier, he suddenly pointed out a girl (the
younger prisoner), who was running up the steps, as one of
those who had robbed him of his clothes. She was at once
captured, and, on being charged with the felony, said "it was
not she, but a bigger girl, living in the New-cut, Lambeth."
Pocock, of the detective force, and another constable, eventually
found out the home of the other prisoner, Spicer, whose mother
told the officer that " she was not surprised to hear of the
charge, as her daughter went out on Friday night, and did not
return till one o'clock on Sunday morning."
A clotheswoman, named Rogers, living in Vere-street,
Clare-market, proved that the eldest girl, Spicer, brought the
child's clothes to her shop on Saturday night, and asked
4s. for them, saying that " she had been sent to sell them by
her mother, who lived at '2l, St. Clcment's-lane." Rogers
paid the money, and gave up the clothes on being applied to by
the constable.
The prisoner Spicer seemed perfectly regardless of the charge,
and said nothing in her defence. The other cried, and said she
did not have any of the money.
Mr. JARDI NE committed them both for trial.
Incredible as it must appear to those who know less of the
depraved habits of children than the daily attendance at a
metropolitan police-court, it is a fact that both the prisoners
have been repeatedly in custody on various charges of felony.
A short time since the youngest was taken up for stealing the
shoes from a child's feet, and selling them ; and Spicer, though
so young in years, is known as quite an oil " offender." Two
yea' s ago she was in charge for an offence committed at a
house of ill-fame, to which she had actually conducted an elderly
man.
