WOOLIVICIL

Anne Warrener was charged with stealing twelve gowns,
and eight shawls frem the shop of ➢lr. Delane, a pawnbroker,
and a chair, the property of David Driver, under the following
singular 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 of 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
WI 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
scarcely three years old by her side, asserted that the articles
formed part of her own property.
Mr. JEREMY committed her for trial.

Thomas Farringdon, potman at the Hoop public-house,
Kensington Gravel-pits, was brought up before Mr. T. Payn-
ter, the sitting Magistrate, for final examination, on a charge
o( having embezzled various sums of money, which he had re-
ceived for and on account of his employer.
Susan Peek, 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 tke
prisoner had been in the habit of delivering it. On Sunday,
the 24th of August last, witness paid the prisoner Is. for beer
supplied by Mrs. Janes during the previous week.
Mary Horwood, wife of Mr. Henry Norwood, 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 4(1. for it.
Joseph Jenkins deposed that he lived at No. 37, New-street,
Kensington Gravel-pits. Witness was in the habit of having
his beer from the Hoop public-house, which the prisoner used
to deliver. On Monday, the 25th 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 a quarter-past
eight o'clock on Tuesday night, the 26th ult., at a beer-shop
in Notting Dale. Witness told him what he was charged
with, and he said Mrs. Janes could make nothing more of it
than a debt. Witness only found threepence-halfpenny on
him.
The prisoner said he had got too winch to drink, and spent
more money than he aught. He was fully committed to New-

gate for Wit.
After the night charges were gene through, Mr. Haskard,
the relieving officer for the Hammersmith portion of the Fulham
Union, brought an Irish woman named Mary Cotterell, and
her grand-daughter, a girl about ten years of a4e, before the
magistrate for the purpose of an order being made for their re-
moval to the.native place of the former, in the county of Cork.
Mr. PAYNTER, on the necessary papers being handed to
him by Mr. Haskard, inquired if they had been drawn out ac-
cording to the provisions 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

magistrate having examined the new statute, said it was the
royal
assent on the Bth of August la't, and was now in force. The
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 power
to do so.
Mr. Haskard said he was not aware that such an Act of
Parliament was in existence.
Mr. PAYNTER, on examining the order, asked the grand-
mother where the girl was born? The woman replied
that she was born on the sea. Her father's name was Rankin.
He was mate of the Caledonia, which was on its way to India.
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. PAYNTER 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 most probable
that the father was an Irishman.
Mr. PAYNTER 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.

Mr. PAYNTER said he could not help that. He could not
send the girl to Ireland.
The girl said she would rather stay ;in this country.—The
parties then left the Court.
TH AME S.

Mr. Wiliam Roper, a paper-stainer, of Bell-wharf-hill,
Lower Shadwell, appeared before Mr. Broderip, to answer a
charge preferred by Mr. William Crosby, of the firm of
Kennett and Crosby, paper-hangers and decorators, of and
2, Queen-street, Southwark•bridge, with having unlawfully
pirated a design in paper-hanging which had been registered
by the complainant under the sth and 6th Victoria, cap. 100,
called " An Act to consolidate and Amend the Laws relating
to the Copyright of Designs."
Mr. Pelham appeared for the defendant.
Mr. Crosby produced a pattern of stained paper of the blue-
bell pattern with scroll arid leaves, and a certificate appended
thereto, by which it appeared that the design had been properly
registered, that it was numbered 24,047, and that the copy-
right had been secured to him for three years. He registered
the design on the Ist of January last, and he had since ascer-
tained that it had been pirated, and paper of a similar pattern
used by the defendant, who had stolen his invention.
William Hearn, a journeyman in the employ of Kennett
and Crosby, said he went to the defendant's house, on the 12th
of last month, and purchased a roll of stained paper of the bell
flower pattern. He used the name of Mr, Edward Pancy, of
Tooley-street, and the defendant supplied him with the quan-
tity he asked for.
The original design was produced, and compared with the
paper sold by the defendant, and the imitation was palpable.
Mr. BROMEHIP thought there could be no doubt of the
piracy.
Mr. Pelham said there was a variation in th• leaves and,
flowers, and the scroll terminated in a larger leaf in the al-
leged pirated stained paper. The scroll and leaf in the original
design were half formed in perspective. The defendant's paper
had a curled stalk and no leaf.
Mr. Crosby opened rolls of stained papers of various colours,
but all from the same design, and laid them alongside the de-
fendant's paper. They appeared to be precisely similar. He
pointed out to the magistrate that the register mark was upon
the head of every piece of stained paper manufactured by Ken-
nett and Crosby.
Mr. Pelham—lf you take the edges of the blocks you will
find the dimensions vary a little.
Mr. BitonEsur said the pirated paper was as nearly identical
as possible with the original design, but the execution was in-
ferior. It was not a fac simile, but a fraudulent imitation.
Mr. Pelham—We are charged in the summons with imitating
the complainant's paper, but the evidence only goes to prove
that we sold paper of a similar pattern.
Mr. BRODERIP said the case was clearly made out under the
statute, and it was such a flagrant one that he felt disposed to
inflict the full penalty of 50/., which the defendant had in-
curred. The defendant had not only imitated the com-
plainant's paper, but carried on a trade in it. The designs
were substantially the same. There was the difference always
to be seen in a copy.

Mr. Pelham, finding the magistrate determined to convict,
appealed to Mr. Crosby for mercy for his client, and said he
hoped he would be satisfied if the fin they sale of the printed
paper was suppressed.
Mr. Crosby said he had been at some expense in registering
his designs, and in addition to the suppression of the sale, he
should not be content unless the defendant gave up his blocks
to be destroyed, and inserted a " public apology" in three or
four of the leading newspapers.
The defendant was glad enough to accept of these terms, and
to pay the expense of inserting the apology in the newspapers
as an advertisement.
Mr. BRODERIP said he wculd suspend his judgment for one
week, and if Mr. Crosby's terms were not complied with he
should inflict a penalty of 3QI.

Mr. Dumlin said he brought forward this case on public
