dividends are unclaimed beyond a certain time, say
this year, a list of such unclaimed dividends should
be thrice published in the Gazette and in each of the
London daily papers. That such list should contain
the names and description of the parties appearing as
owners of the stock, and the date when the first divi-
dend unclaimed became due; and, after such publication,
repeated a proper number of times, a period fixed by
law having; elapsed without a claimant and proof of
right, the stock and dividend should be absolutely
cancelled and appropriated to the public benefit. By
this plan every relation of the party would have
notice, within a time easy of proof, of their right; no
suppression would be chargeable to the Government,
fraud would be prevented, and all temptation to that
talented trickery taken away, which delights in de-
ceiving those who appear only too eager to grasp at
all that they can lay their hands upon. So long as
information is withheld, which every party has a just
right to, so long will ingenious clerks sell their
means of obtaining it. A CHRISTMAS will be found,
so long as it is worth while to pay him ; information
will always fetch its price ; and far better for society
that JOSEPH ADYS should abound, openly proffering
their twenty shillings' worth, than supplying in
secret the means of plunder, and panderhig to forgery
and other crimes. _

DRUMMOND to furnish a statement of the transaction,
as far as regarded Colonel BONET ?
Sir R. PEEL said such a statement, as a matter of
course, would be furnished to the Admiralty ; and he
took that opportunity of expressing his horror and
disgust at the sanguinary proceedings which had
been sanctioned by the constituted authorities of
Spain in that quarter. Barbarous nations, he be-
lieved, would observe greater humanity in their con-
tests than had been observed by both parties in Spain
Sir JAMES GRAHAM moved the Order of the Day
for the third reading of the Factories Bill, and said
the discussion on the Bill, he trusted, would tale
place on the House going into Committee.
After speeches from Mr. ROEBUCK, Mr. T. DUN-
COMBE, Mr. AGLIONBY, Mr. M. ruthirs, and Mr.
FERRAND, which exhibited great excitement on this
difficult question, the Bill was read a second time.
On the motion that the Bill be committed, in
order that it be postponed, Mr. ROEBUCK put a ques-
tion to Mr. FERRAND. He said, that Hon. Member
had stated that a Minister of the Crown had used his
influence to induce a Poor-law Commissioner to
make a false return, in order to crush an Hon. Mem-
ber of that House. He wished to know who that
Minister was, and what Member he intended to
crush ? This question led to a very amusing discus-
sion, which we have adverted to in a separate article.
These Tory Members will be the death of their
friends.
After tEe uproar was over, the Committee on the
Bill was fixed for Friday.
Dr. NICHOLL moved the second reading of the
Ecclesiastical Courts Bill.
Sir G. GREY moved as an amendment that the Bill
be read a second time that day six months. Consi-
derable discussion followed, and on a division the se-
cond reading was carried by a majority of 69.
The County Courts Bill was read a second time.
In answer to a question from Lord J. RUSSELL,
Sir R. PEEL said that he did not mean to bring on
the Irish Registration Bill before the 6th of May.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed
of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter pest Twelve.

impeaches and whose official character he impugns.
I call on him, or rather I call on the House to com-
pel the Hon. Gentlemen, to be specific in his allega-
tions ; and I challenge the Hon. Gentleman to any
inquiry before any tribunal." To which Mr. FER-
RAND replied—" I expect that to-morrow the Right
Hon. Baronet—for he is on his trial as well as my-
self—will be able to explain to the House in what
manner he became possessed of that report which he
drew out of his box, and which he used against me
almost immediately, if not immediately, on my re-
suming my seat in the debate on the new poor-law.
" Mr. HOGG—I hope that I shall be permitted to
bring the report to which the lion. Gentleman has
referred, and to read that report to the House ; and
if it should not be liable to the imputation which has
been cast upon it by him, I hope the House will call
on that Hon. Gentleman to disavow that which he
has uttered, or to require him, in any manner you
please, either before this or any other tribunal, to
bring his proofs ; and I will be satisfied, if he should
raise a doubt or suspicion as to my integrity, to
submit to the consequences. If, on the contrary, he
should fail to do so, I hope the House will visit him
in the manner he deserves."
Lord JOHN RUSSELL made some very pertinent
remarks on the real question at issue, and Sir R.
PEEL utterly denied the language which had been at-
tributed to him ; and the subject then dropped.
Now, are we not justified in calling such a scene
humiliating to the character of a British House of
Commons, when a mere mountebank's exhibition shall
occupy the time of Parliament, whilst claims of high
moment press for consideration? And are we not
justified in calling such humiliation deserved, when a
Government holds office, which it obtained by imple-
ments that it now despises, and would gladly get rid
of, but which cling to, and parasite-like, will ulti-
mately destroy it? The PEEL Government came in
on the sliding-s,:ale—they got to the top easily—
they are now on the descent, and they will gradually
slide down, until they reach the very lowest abyss of
popular odium.

Accounts from Madrid of the lath inst. state that
preparations were in progress at Cadiz for the in-
vasion of Morocco, to avenge the death of a foreigner
who acted at that place as Spanish Consul. The
Castellano states that some Spanish commercial
houses propose to effect a loan for the Government on
more advantageous terms than those hitherto offered,
but that the Minister of Finance is inclined to put it
up for public competition. It is also said he has re-
ceived proposals from certain foreign capitalists for
carrying his object. into effect. We believe there is
not a word of truth in this statement. Foreign capi-
talists know Spanish honour too well to trust their
money to a Government which is not sanctioned by
the Constitution, and every act of which would be
disowned by the Cortes- as soon as they were at liberty
to act. The Cortes would act precisely as FER-
DINAND did, and refuse to acknowledge any loan
made by BRAVO, NAILVAEZ, and Co.
The Three per Cents. were done at 361 for cash,
and 371 at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 23i
at 60 days.

Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMBE, who is one of the most
manly, straightforward speakers in Parliament,
made some apt and stinging comments last night on
the ultra-discreet conduct pursued by Lord ASHLEY
as regards the Ten Hours' Factory question. " The
Noble Lord," he observe 1, " was going to let the
Bill slip through the House, until it was about being
passed. Then, he would, as it were, take a flying
shot at it. But as it was about to pass, when he
went to discharge his second barrel at it, he would
find that the game was gone. That would be the
result of all the discussion that had taken place, and
of the decision which the House had come to, that

The discussion, of which the Member for Knares-
borough—the Honourable Member we presume we
ought to call him—his speeches and statements, formed
the subject last night in the House of Commons, gives
a most instructive lesson to the gentlemen of the
FERRAND school, and not only to gentleman scholars,
but to gentlemen teachers and instructors in such
schools. For it cannot be denied that Mr. FERRAND
is the chosen pupil, and the first class representative,
of that body, by which, at the general election of
1841, the Liberal party in this country was run down.
Abuse, misrepresentation, falsehood, in short, every
vile art that the ingenuity of the most thoroughgoing
partizanship could suggest, were resorted to on that
occasion. The actors were cheered on by the loud
acclaims of the Tory party ; they delighted in the
melee ; " they cried havoc, and let slip the dogs of
war;" they worried their game, and gloated in the
triumph. But, the chase over, the dogs would not
return to kennel quietly; and the greatest curse to
PEEL, since his advent to power, has arisen from the
furious bloodhounds that his own party reared, petted,
and pampered.
What a specimen of a British Legislature does
last night present—humiliating in the extreme, and
yet how deserved is the humiliation. Sir JAMES
GRAHAM is no favourite of ours—renegades deserve
no favour; but if Mr. FERRAND did not feel the cas-
tigation which Sir JAMES inflicted, he has the skin of
the rhinoceros. Let us just look at the proceedings :
After a debate on the Factory Bill, in which Mr.
DUNCOMZE, as usual, unmasked hypocrisy, and spoke
forcible common sense, Lord ASHLEY shuffled, and
Mr. HINDLEY received a well-merited flagellation
froth Mr. MARK PHILIPS, the Bill was read a second
time. _

In the French Chamber of Deputies, on Saturday,
a lengthened discussion took place on numerous pe-
titions from certain Protestants in the South of
France, in which they state, that in some districts the
congregations are so small, that they have not the
means to build churches, and therefore pray such an
alteration of the 291-,11 article of the Penal Code as
would enable them to hold meetings in private houses.
It appeared from the speeeches of the Members that
the Government could grant a license for such a pur-
pose ; but as that was occasionally refused, from per-
sonal caprice, or some other cause, the parties
claimed the interference of the Leg;slature in
order that the law might be definitively settled.
M. D. lIAUSSEVILLE, in presenting the petitions,
moved " that they be referred to the Minister of
Justice and Public Worship." M. DUPIN moved
the Order of the Day—in other words the re.;ectim
of the petitions, when two divisions took place, but
the President could not decide which party had the
majority. A ballot was taken, when the amendment
of M. DuriN was rejwted by a majority of 18.
M. MARTIN (du Nord), the Minister of Public
Worship, promised to give the subject his best at-
tention.

women and children should not work for more than ten
hours. The operatives thought that his Lordship and
the House had been trifling with their interests, and that
the whole thing was a delusion from beginning to end."
Stung by the truth and force of these strictures, the
usually bland and gentle advocate of humanity
started up in a towering passion, remarking that he
thought the operatives of England were quite as
it judges of what was for their own good, as the
lion. Member for Finsbury ; and he also thought
that they had among them ten times more justice
And ten times more candour than he could pride him-
self upon." The exasperated Nobleman then went
on to read " three lines of a letter which he had re-
ceived that morning," which, he said, was written
by authority of the Short-Time Committee of Lan-
cashire, and which approved of the course he had
Adopted, as being the best, under all the circumstances,
that could have been taken. It is a remarkable circum-
stance, that whenever a Member of Parliament wishes
to justify himself with the House or the country from
Any charges that may have been brought against him in
his public capacity, he never fails to find a letter in
his pocket, written by competent authority, and ap-
proving of all that he has said and done. What is
more remarkable still, this exceedingly lucky and con-

The Three per Cents. were quoted at TORTONI'S, on
Sunday, at 83f. 65c.
The Moniteur publishes the following telegraphic
dispatch :

" MARSEILLES, APRIL 19.
" The Queen of the two Sicilies was delivered, in the night
of the 14th, of a Princess, who was held at the baptismal font
by the Princess of Salerno, and received the names of Maria
Clementine Immaculate." _ _

........
Mr. ROEBUCK then put a question to the Hon
Member for Knaresborough. That Hon. Gentleman
had stated that a Minister of the Crown had used his
influence to induce an Assistant Poor-law Commis-
sioner to make a false return to that House, for the
purpose of crushing a Member of that House, and
Mr. ROEBUCK said he was justified in asking who
was that Minister of the Crown who had thus used
his power ; who was the officer whom the Crown
employed; and who was the Member sought to be
crushed ?
Mr. FERRAND, after a deal of beating about the
bush, at length ended by charging Sir JAMES GRA-
HAM as the party using his influence—Mr. MoTT as
the officer employed—and himself as the Member
sought to be crushed. Upon which
Sir J. GRAHAM said, until the last words which
fell from the Hon. Member, he had looked with great
indifference both to the charge and to the discus-
sion itself. The Hon. Member had deliberately as-
serted that which he (Sir J. GRAHAM) had hardly
thought he could have taken upon himself to assert
of him, much less in his presence and before that
House, viz., that he (Sir JAMES GRAHAM) had used
his official power to obtain a false report. H(
(Sir JAMES GRAHAM) did not think it worth while
to move that the words be taken down, which
was the usual course in such cases. But there was
no mistake that the llonourable Gentleman had
distinctly stated, after some deliberation—because he
avoided unnecessarily the question in the first in-
stance, and the question was then repeated—that he
was prepared to assert that he (Sir J. GRAHAM) had
used his official power and influence to obtain a false
report for the purpose of crushing him (Mr. FER-
RAND). He thought it would be impossible, con-
sidering that assertion, and considering the position
which he (Sir J. GRAHAM) held by favour of her
MAJESTY—considering that the assertion was deli-
berately made—he was quite sure the Hon. Member
would, as well as himself, feel that it was impossible
to demand redress then ; but he hoped that the Ho-
nourable Gentleman was prepared to take the proper
course to substantiate the charge.
Mr. HUME said there was another question which
he deemed of greater importance. It had been
asserted that the Right Hon. Secretary of State had
made use of his official influence to induce Mr. HoGG,
when Chairman of the Nottingham Election Com-
mittee, to commit perjury.
Mr. FERRAND denied that he had so asserted.
Mr. WARD then alluded to a statement made by
Mr. OASTLER, that such was the sense entertained by
the House respecting the Factory Bill, that the Right
Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government had
stated on one night, when leaving the House after a
discussion on this Bill, that the Christian feeling of the
House had beaten the Government on the factory
question.
Upon which Mr. FERRAND remarked, that he was
not Mr. OASTEER'S keeper, and made a slight explana-
tion of his remarks, as to Mr. lioGG's conduct.
Mr. HoGG, in a tone of manly indignation, replied :
" Sir, it becomes incumbent upon me no longer to treat
the matter with indifference or contempt, but to call
upon the lion. Gentleman to substantiate his charge.
I do not want him to substantiate the charge. I call
on that llon. Gentlemen to rise in his place, and leave,
if he can, upon the mind of this House a doubt
—or leave upon this House the slightest suspicion,
that in the discharge of my public duty, I was in-
fluenced by dishonest or dishonourable motives.
If he should raise that doubt—if he should raise that
suspicion—let me be covered with well-merited ob-
loquy, and let me depart this House as a man no
longer worthy to take his seat, being no longer
worthy of confidence. But there is another view of
the question. If that Hon. Gentleman cannot raise
that doubt in the minds of this House—if he fail to
satisfy this House as to his grounds for doubting my
honour and integrity, then let that Hon. Gentleman
be branded as the assHter of foul and false calumnies
—let him stand convicted as such before this House
and before :riitleltehceorunhtery, eI
is
assembly, or command respect
worthy it
-orthwill
ylobne then
ger
to forsit

as a gentleman."
Mr. FERRAND writhed under this b re uke, and,
after again explaining, Sir J. GRAHAM rose and said :
" Sir, there is no ' haggling,' or' Igg in li r , ghere. We
are in the British House of Commons; and the Hon.
Gentleman has accused me, as a Minister of the
Crown, of having exerted my influence as a Minister
to obtain a false report for the purpose of crushing
him. There shall be no surprise. . . . To_
morrow I will not appeal to the generosity or the
fairness of the Hon. Gentleman, but I will appeal to
the generosity and the
fairness of both sides of the
House, and I expect that to-
morrow the Honourable
Gentleman will come down with a specific charge
against me—not only as a Minister of the Crown,
but as a Member of this House, whose honour he

venient epistle never fails to reach him on the very
.norning of the day appointed for his justification.
We have observed this, not once but a hun-
lred times, and have often admired the considerate
interposition of Providence in furnishing embarrassed
Siembers with such epistolary Godsends as may tend
to help them °tit of a scrape, just at the fitting sea-
ion. The late Mr. IlusiussoN used to be specially
favoured in this way. Whenever he had a measure
to bring forward which he thought might subject
Idm to animadversion, he invariably contrived to find
letter in his coat-pocket, penned by some able, prac-
tical individual, who had devoted his whole life to the
subject, upholding all his views, and insisting that his
inessure was the very identical measure which was most
wanted at that particular crisis. Good men, it has been
said, are always special favourites ofHeaven; and this,
we suppose, is the reason why Lord ASHLEY, like Mr.
Husxissos before him, has received, just in the nick
of time, an official letter, whose avowed object is to
Absolve him of all stains, and to show that, as respects

The Augsburg Gazette of the 16th inst. contains the
following strange statement :—" The High Court of
Appeal of the Duchy of Baden has condemned to
imprisonment for one year a Captain MOLLS a, con-
victed of high treason towards the State. He had
corresponded in 1840 with General Cunir.REs, the
French Minister of WPtr under the THIERS Adminis-
tration. In the correspondence which came out in
evidence, Captain MOLLER offers the French Minister
any information that may be useful to him in case of
war, and assures him that a portion of the German
troops are ready to make common cause with the
French. General CUBIERES, in his answer to the offers
made, says, I thank you for the offers which you
make of your services. They testify your attachment
to France, and I do not doubt your sentiments in that
respect.' General CUBIRRES'S letter is written on a
sheet of paper, with the words Ministere de la
Guerre' printed upon it.

THIS DAY'S NEWS

the Factory Bill, he has acted with the prudence
and sagacity of a SOLON. Doubtless this epistolary
white-wash will not be without its effect on the
minds of many who have previously entertained doubts
of the absolute wisdom of his Lordship's proceedings.
But there are many, also, who will be apt to regard
it in no other light than as as an ingenious ruse, got
up for the sole purpose of helping the Noble Lord out
of a dilemma. For our own part, were he to receive
a dozen letters, instead of only one, approving of the
course he has thought fit to pursue on the Ten Hours'
measure, we should still continue to entertain pre
cisely the same opinion that we now do, respecting
that course—still continue to think it tame, impolitic,
and most shamefully accuiescent. P ossessed, as he
was, of the full confidence of the overtasked opera-
tives and their families—knowing, as he did, the great
interest they attached to the measure which he, of his
own accord, had brought forward in their behalf—see-
ing, as he could not fail to see, the great importance
of even the half-victory he had already gained—Lord
ASHLEY should not have yielded one inch of the vant-
age ground he had secured ; he should have clung with
bull-dog tenacity to his resolution ;he should have
fought the battle foot to foot, hand to hand; and if
finally crushed, he should have been crushed in the
attitude of dogged resistance, not of abject retreat•
But, instead of adopting this bold, energetic line of
conduct, which would have secured him the sympathy
of his friends and the respect of his enemies, he has
allowed himself to be scared by the very noise of his
own creating ; and has let slip an opportunity, which
may not occur again for years, of giving a decided
impetus to the cause of the poor factory slaves.
There is clearly nothing more to be done with the
question in Parliament. The generous impulses of
the House have given way to considerations of expe-
diency; Ministers have carried—or are about to carry—
their point in triumph ; and so long as they remain
in power, it is vain to hope for any remission in those
hours of excessive labour, which are now slowly and
surely drawing hundreds of women and children to
an untimely grave. Many factory operatives are
living—vegetating rather—at this present moment,
who will be rotting in a workhouse cemetery long
before the period when Lord ASHLEY makes his next
humanity flourish in the House of Commons.

Nov, that the trials at the Old Bailey are over,
and sentence has been pronounced, after a verdict
which, we must confess, appeared to us inevitable
from a perusal of the evidence, we may express our
hope, that something will be done to prevent the
recurrence of such crimes as those of which
FLETCHER and BARBER have been found guilty. It
is far better to suppress the crime, and take away the
incitement to it, than to punish guilt, and wreak
vengeance on the offended. There can be little
doubt that men who in the common transactions of
life shall be scrupulously honest, and in all matters
between man and man shall punctiliously regard the
strict line of honour, when the question comes be-
tween an individual and the Government, totally over-
look the necessity of doing as they would be done by,
and defraud the revenue without the least qualm of
conscience. The ingenuity exerted one day to bring
over a box of cigars free from duty, shows itself upon a
larger scale upon another occasion ; and whether the
object be to deprive the Custom-house of its enormous
dues, or to rescue from the hands of the State
money which it only acquired for want of a claim
by the right owner, the moral turpitude in the minds
of a large portion of men shall not be distinguishable.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 23, 1844

QUEEN'S BENCH.--(THIS DAY).
(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 busiress 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 he 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 future, he must
understand that being summoned as a special juror did not
exempt him from service upon common juries.

EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS DAY
(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 Fiiday, 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 D—Betwcen nine and ten yesterday evening he
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. RAwLucsON—Well, 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. Smith, a ragged creature, was charged with begging.
Wm. Horsford, the well-known officer .of the Mendacity
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 leaves.
Mr. RAWLINSON—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. RAWLINSON—WeII, on that assurance, I'll let you go
this time. You are discharged.

QUEEN-SQUARE.—(THIS DAY.Mr )
William Garlick, a young man, was charged before
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 inParis-street deposed to seeing Garlick loitering
about the street for some time before he was found on Mr.
Pocock's premises. He had also been seen 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 wretched, emaciated 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 Win. Browne, notorious thieves, were
charged with committing the following daring robbery at
the shop of Mr. William Wilson, of Vigo-street, Regent-
gtreet, 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 companion. 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

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 10,000/. 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 on her return home she found
the front door locked as she had left it ; and so well had the
thievea 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-room with her
every night, and which could not be found. This fact being
communicated to Mr. Dearlove, hehastened 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 4,000/., two Bank of England notes for 1001. each,
three Bank of England notes of 50/. each, and two of 51. each,
together with leases for valuable property.
