ing note, or required an answer from the defendant, then
the defendant should be allowed six weeks to put in that
answer.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
(More Chief Justice TINDAL.)
Michael Noon, 19, and John Sutters, 21, were in-
dicted for stealing a case of dentist's instruments, the
property of William Murray.
Mr. Cobbett prosecuted, and Mr. Mellor defended
the prisoners.
it appeared, from the evidence, that the prosecutor
is a chemist and druggist, living in Hand-court, Bed-
ford-row, and on the evening the robbery took place
Noon went into his shop, and asked for some lozenges.
About eight o'clock the same evening the prosecutor
heard a noise, and on descending the staircase he put
his foot in a hat which belonged to some stranger,
and on going into the shop he found it had been
entered by means of a picklock key, and that a case
of instruments had been stolen. The prisoners were
taken into custody shortly afterwards, and the in-
struments were found in the possession of Sutters,
and upon searching Noon a quantity of picklock and
skeleton keys were discovered.
Mr. Mellor set up an alibi on behalf of Sutters,
and called witnesses to support that defence.
The jury found Noon Guilty, and he was sentenced
to twelve months' imprisonment. The other prisoner
was acquitted.
Benjamin Ewen, 52, butler, was indicted for felo-
niously stealing a silver teapot, value 61., the property
of his Grace the Duke of Richmond.

There was another indictment against the prisoner
for stealing twelve silver forks, value 71., the property
of Charles Cox.

Mr. CLARKSON, who appeared for the prisoner, said
that, with the permission of the Court, he would re-
tract his plea of Not Guilty, and plead Guilty to the
indictment. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to
state that the prisoner had occupied the situation of
butler in some of the first families of the land, and
ha mentioned, among others, the names of Lord
Ernest Bruce and Lord Cranstoun ; but he said that
latterly the prisoner had been reduced to a state of
complete destitution, and, under the pressure of dis-
tress, he was induced to committ the offence imputed
to him.

Inspector Morgan, of the T division, was then
questioned, and stated that, upon going to the pri-
soner's lodging, he found his wife and four children in
a most destitute condition. They had pawned almost
every article of their property, even to the wearing
apparel of the children, for food.
The CHIEF JUSTICE, in passing sentence, said he
regretted to perceive a person who formerly appeared
to have been so respectably situated, so far forget him-
self as to commit an offence of this description, but
it was impossible to overlook the fact that there were
two indictments against him, and that both offences
appeared to have been committed within a short
period of each other. In consideration, however, of
his previous good character, and the testimonials re-
specting him that had been placed in the hands of the
Court, the sentence upon him was, that he be impri-
soned and kept to hard labour for twelve months.
• Mary Davidson, 20, was convicted upon two in-
dictments of stealing articles of wearing apparel from
different dwelling-houses, the outer doors of which she
found open, and she was sentenced to be transported
for seven years.
The business of the session concluded about six
o'clock, and the Court then adjourned until Monday,
January 6.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
MANSION-HOUSE.

Kyle, the servant of Mr. Chadwick, the surveyor,
and Sargood, the driver of the errand cart which
caused the death of a poor man, named Dean, in
Threadneedle-street, a few days ago, by turning over
upon him when he was drawing a truck, underwent
another examination before the Lord Mayor.
It will be recollected that Byte was committed to
prison by the Lord Mayor, upon his own statement
that he had deposited paving-stones, which were
intended for the repair of the pathway, in the car-
riage-way, and that bail was taken for the appearance
of Sargood, who, as he drove along, did not see the
stones before the wheel of the cart came in contact
with them.

Mr. Chadwick attended, and stated that he deeply
lamented the accident, but he could not see how it
could have been avoided.

The LORD MAYOR.—It is a very serious case. A.
poor man, who has left a wife and children, has lost
his life evidently in consequence of the manner in
which these stones were laid in the carriage-way.
The foreman of the jury has been with me this
morning, and told me that the stones stood nearly a
yard upon the carriage-way, and that the jury were
for a considerable time in doubt whether they should
not return a verdict of manslaughter against Mr.
Chadwick's man. What is to become of the family
of the deceased ?

Mr. Chadwick said there was no other place in
which to deposit stones intended for mending
the pavement, and that the stones were piled up as
carefully as possible.
The LORD MAYOR—Then, certainly, there ought
to be notice given to drivers that repairs are going
forward by means of a lantern. It is quite evident
that, in this case, the driver did not see the stones.
But the matter shall be represented to the Commis-
sioners of Sewers. his Lordship having then been
informed that the verdict was "Accidental death," dis-
charged the prisoner, but again called the attention
of Mr. Chadwick to the deplorable condition of the
wife and children of the deceased.

It is believed that Mr. Chadwick, who is a gentle-
man of very hig►h character in the City of London,
will pay particular attention to his Lordship's sug-
gestion.
The Lord Mayor received 101. from the Gold-
smiths' Company, and 101. from the Grocers' Com-
pany, for the poor-box.
