GUILDHALL.

Daniel Garrett, who has been examined on various
charges of stealing portmanteaus from the Great Western,
the Sow h-Western, and Birmingham Itailsvays, was re-ex-
amined before Mr. Alderman H. Hughes.
Mr. Clarkson, Mr. Humphrey-8, and Mr. Nash appeared
as before on behalf of the railways, and Mr. Thwaites fur the

prisoner
Mr. Bedingfield deposed that he is a commercial traveller,
and was a passenger to London, on reaching which he missed
his leather case. His memorandums and pocket-book were
afterwards returned anonymously through the Parcels' Deli-
very Company. He identified a blouse, a stock, and some
other articles which were found at the prisoner's lodging, and
also the leather case produced by Collard, the sup€rintendent
of the Great Western Railway police.
Collard stated that he received this case from Mr. Beattie,
a pawnbroker.
Mr. Beattie deposed that he is one of the firm of Notley
and Beattie, of Portman-street, He bought the case from
the prisoner about the latter end of August. He asked half
a guinea for it, and witness bought it for his own use. He
had known the prisoner above a year previously, and had
purchased other things from him, which were now in the
care of Collard.
Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES asked under what circumstances
these had found their way to the officer? Had the latter
traced where they were? Mr. Beattie said that upon seeing
Garratt was in custody he wrote to the officer, and showed
him what articles he had had from the prisoner.
Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES wished all persons in Mr.
Beattie's trade were equally ready to assist in furthering the
ends of justice.
The evidence was then read, and the prisoner was com-
mitted on the charge.
Mr. Clarkson then made an addition to the evidence in the
case of Mr. Webb, a merchant at Huddersfield, whose port-
manteau was stolen in July on the Birmingham line, as has
been already detailed.
Mr. Webb identified a gold pencil-case as part of the contents
of his portmanteau.
Mr. Beattie deposed that he purchased this from the pri-
soner on the 9th of September. He gave him U. fur that
and an eye-glass.
Mr. Clarkson asked him if he did not call that a great bar-
gain ? Mr. Beattie did not know that it was particularly so.
Mr. Webb also identified three pairs of trousers, which
were found at the prisoner's lodgings.
The prisoner was committed on this charge, and remanded
on another until Friday next.
MARYLEBONR.

Frances Westbury, a laundress, was brought up for re-ex-
amination on a charge of illegally pawning upwards of 40/.
worth of linen and other articles of dress intrusted to her to
wash.
It appeared from the evidence, that the prisoner had been
in the habit of washing for several families in the neighbour-
hood of Marylebone for some time past, and up to the month
of August last regularly returned the clothes intrusted to
her. Towards the latter part of that month she commenced
a system of pawning everything intrusted to her, and from
five of her employers alone pledged, for 6/. or 71., property
amounting to upwards of 401. in value. She subsequently
expressed her regret, and inclosed the duplicates of the pro-
perty to them. Information having been given to the police,
the prisoner was apprehended, and was remanded for the at-
tendance of the pawnbrokers.
Three pawnbrokers attended, and produced a great quan-
tity of property, which they identified as pawned by the pri-
soner. One ease only was gone into, relating to the property
of a gentleman named Young, who identified some of the pro-
perty produced as belonging to him.
Mr. LONG said he was surprised that the pawnbrokers
should have taken such a quantity of property in pawn from
a person like the prisoner. Did they not know she was a
laundress? The pawnbrokers said they did not, although
she had been a customer at their shops for some years.
Mr. Young complained that the pawnbrokers were greatly
to blame in taking in clothes that were rough-dry, and
The police-constable informed the Magistrate that the pri-
soner's husband had, before these things were pledged, gone
round to the pawnbrokers and told them not to take any-
thing in pledge from her.
In answer to Mr. LONG, the three pawnbrokers, all of whom
reside in the Fulham-road, said they were quite willing to
give up all the articles to their rightful owners, and be at the
loss of the money they had advanced upon them.
The prisoner said she had pledged them, and could not
deny it.
Mr. LONG said, it would not be necessary to go into all the
cases, as he was determined to inflict the highest penalty the
law allowed him; he sbotild fins the prisoner f;!, for the Me-
; gal pawning', and 17. 1:7, ,C 1. aI;AQ ttle,,zoods, and
