QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS 15A1r).
(Sittings in Banco.)
The Court took the special paper this morning, and was
engaged in hearing arguments relating to points of law, of
no interest except to the parties immediately concerned.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.)
HYDE V. GREEN AND ANOTHER.
In this matter, which was an action brought on account of
the non-delivery of some bullion the Solicitor-General ap-
plied to the Court for a rule to show cause why a mandamus
should not isssue, commanding the Supreme Court of Judi-
cature in the East Indies to take evidence in behalf of the
plaintiff. The attorney in the case had, in the absence of
the plaintiff, made affidavit giving therein the names of two
witnesses whose evidence he swore to be essential to his
clients cause. The Court granted a rule nisi.
CAUTION TO JURYMEN.—On the nisi prius business com-
mencing, seven persons, summoned as jurors, and who on
Saturday were fined five pounds each for non-attendance,
were now ordered to be fined ten pounds for continued neglect
of their duties. One juror thus fined, afterwards stated to
the Court that he had thought himself relieved from obliga-
tion as a pettyjuror, inasmuch, as the had been summoned on
special cases. Mr. Justice Coleridge said, as he believed he
' had neglected a public, duty from misapprehension, the fine
in his case should be remitted; but, for the fliture, he must
understand that being summoned as a special juror did not
exempt him from service upon common juries.

EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS. PAY
(Sittings in Banco.)
The Court was occupied during the morning in hearing
motions for new trials, in cases devoid of public interest.
EXCHEQUER CHAMBER.
The Learned Judges of the Queen's Bench and Exchequer
met in the Exchequer Chamber this morning, and announced
that writs of error from the Queen's Bench would be heard
on Thursday and Friday, the 9th and 10th of May; and
those from the Exchequer on Saturday, the 11th of May.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
The Court heard motions to-day out of the New Trial
paper. None of them were of such a nature as would justify
a report.

MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.)
The public may not be well informed as to the best mode
of reforming a drunken wife. Mr. Rawlinson was kind
enough to enunciate from the bench the important fact, that
the " strappado" was the grand wonder worker in such a case.
Catherine Coyle was placed at the bar.
Spicer, 142 Ll—Between nine and ten yesterday eveninghe
saw the prisoner and her husband quarrelling in Cambridge-
street. 'He endeavoured to get them both home, but the
female said that 'she would go to the station-house, as she
was afraid of her husband's violence. She would not leave
witness, and he was ultimately obliged to take her to the
station-house. She was drunk, as well as her husband.
Prisoner—That is true, Sir. I was afraid that my husband
would beat me, and I went with the policeman for protection.
Mr. RAWLINSON—WeII, but if you get drunk, he will beat
you again. It is the only cure for a drunken wife that I
know of. Go way; you are discharged.
Thos. Smi,th, a ragged creature, was charged with begging.
Wm. Hcirsford, the well-known officer of the Mendicity
Society, stated that, on the previous evening, at twenty
minutes to seven, he saw the prisoner in Upper Rathbone-
place, begging. He stated that he was a mechanic out of
employment, and that he was in great distress. He wasvery
drunk.. There was found on his person elevenpence in copper,
and two loaves. _ _ •

Mr. RAwmisoN—Now, I think I shall send you to prison,
for of all characters a drunken beggar is the one least deserv-
ing of pity.
Prisoner—l assure you I won't be here again your Worship.
Mr. RAwmrsow—Well, on that assurance, I'll let you go
this time. You are discharged.

QUEEN-SQUARE.--(THIS DAY.)
William Garlick, a young man, was charged before Mr.
Bond, by Mr. Pocock, .a tradesman, carrying on business in
Paris-street, Pimlico, with being found on his premises at an
early hour this morning, under very suspicious circumstances.
It appeared that Mr. Pocock was awoke by the barking of
his dog, which induced him to proceed to the back of his pre-
mises, where he found the defendant in the act of climbing
into an adjoining yard. He tried to make witness believe
that he was intoxicated, but he was not in liquor. The de-
fendant was accordingly given into custody. A policeman
on duty in Paris-street deposed to seeing Garlick loitering
about the street for some titre before he was found on Mr.
Pocock's premises. He had also been Ken in company with
young men of bad character.
The defendant, who made a very lame defence, was re-
manded until inquiries are made respecting him.
_Frances Newland, a prostitute, was charged by Robert

Howells, a groom, with stealing 2/. It appeared that the
prosecutor accompanied the prisoner to a house of ill-fame,
where they slept. On dressing himself this morning, he
found that the money had been taken from his purse, and,
having had it when he entered the house, and the only per-
son who could have had access to it being the prisoner, he
gave her into custody. He was in liquor, but not" tosicated"
at the time.
The prisoner, who denied the charge, was remanded.
A wretehed, emitciated young man, named Wm. Hewitt,
was charged with begging yesterday evening in Ebury-
street, Pimlico, with another man, who, on, the appearance of
the officer, who was attired in private clothes, ran away. The
officer said that Hewitt begged of every one that passed. Four-
pence half-penny was found on him.. It appeared that the
defendant has been in the habit of begging for some time past
in that part of the town.
Hewitt said he was willing to work, but he could get none
to do.—Committed for fourteen days.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
George Dyer, and Wm. Browne notorious thieves, were
charged with committing the following daring robbery at
the shop of Mr. William Wilson, of Vigo-street, Regent-
street, cheesemonger and Italian warehouseman.
Between eight and nine o'clock last evening, the prisoners,
in company together, were seen lurking about the prosecu-
tor's shop for a considerable time. At length the prisoner
Dyer walked boldly into the entrance of the shop, and by
main force, tearing down a Westphalia ham from a nail on
which it was hanging, set, off running with it, followed by
his compunidn. A'cry of " stop thief" being raised, police-
constable 112 C pursued, and eventually captured both of
them. Dyer.threw away the ham as he was running, but it
was picked up, and restored to the owners.
The prisoners made no defence, and were fully committed
for trial.

ROBBERY OF BONDS, BANK-NOTES, &c.—On Sun-
day evening, between the hours of seven and eight, the dwell-
ing-house of Mr. James Dearlove, No. 2, Bartholomew-ter-
race, Bethnal-green, was entered by means of skeleton keys,
and plundered of property to the amount of 10,0001. It ap-
peared that Mr. Dearlove, who formerly was a brewer, and
latterly has been in the habit of doing some business on the
Stock Exchange, had left his house in the course of the even-
ing, and shortly after six o'clock a lady, who is his house-
keeper and niece went to chapel, leaving everything safe, and
locking the door after her, and ou her return home she found
the front door locked as she had left it ; and so well had the
thieves executed their work that nothing occurred for nearly
two hours after to awaken the slightest suspicion that any
robbery had been committed. The first thing that led to the
discovery of the robbery was a search for the plate, which
had been used in the course of the day, and which the house-
keeper was in the habit of taking to her bed-rooni with her
every night, and which could not be found. This fact being
communicated to Mr. Dearlove, he hastened up stairs to a cup-
board, in which he kept his cash-box, and, finding it locked,
thought all was safe. On unlocking it, however, he dis-
covered that the cash-box, with its valuable contents, was
gone, as well as his gold watch and appendages, and various
other property. Amongst the property carried away were
colonial, and other bonds for 3,0001., bills of exchange for
nearly 4,0001., two Bank of England notes for 1001. each,
three Bank of England notes of 501. each, and two of 51. each,
together with leases for valuable property. ,
