Q UEEN-SQ UARE.

David Eagleton, a powerful young man between twenty and
thirty years of age, was charged with robbing John Walsh,
his brother-in-lavr, who had occasion twice before to cam.
plain of his dishonesty, but had forgiven him in consegnence of the
relationship existing between them.
The principal feature in the case was the extraordinary intre-
pidity diplayed by Sarah Jennings, a girl between 12 ant 13 years
of age, servant to the prosecutor. Having locked the door of her
master's apartments and placed the key under the mat at about 4
o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, she went out for half an hour
with an infant. On her return she found that the key had been
removed and that the apartments were locked on the inside. She
immediately acquainted the landlady with the circumstance, when
on a sudden her master's door was opened by the prisoner, whom
she recognised as her mistress's brother. She immediately entered
the apartments, and observing that the drawers had been ransacked,
and some of their contents scattered about the floor, she promptly
locked the door on the inside, and depositing the key in her bosom,
emptied a sack which had been filled with wearing apparel and
other articles ready to carry off, and then insisted upon searching
the prisoner before she permitted him to leave the rooms, and,
having satisfied herself by examining his pockets that he had no
property Liclonging to her employers, she unlocked the door and
permitted him to depart with the empty sack which he had brought
with him. On her master coming home she told him what had oc-
curred, arid as a silk handkerchief had been carried off in the pri-
soner's breast, he was given into custody.
He was fully committed.
AiriIIYLEBONE.

Mark Glazier was brought up from Clerkenwell prison, and
placed at the bar, before Mr. Long, for further ex_araination, on
the charge of having been concerned in stealing ,a rire6sii g case,
containing valuable property of different descriptions,, belonging to
a gentleman named Husband, who, in July, 1843, came up from
Beambridge to London by the Great Western Railway.
The investigation excited a vast degree of interest, and long
before the period appointed for the hearing of the case., the Court
was much crowded.

Mr. Ballantine, barrister, attended on the part of the prisoner ;
Mr. Robinson to watch the proceeding for isis client Morse, who
was in the first instance charged with the robbery him:telt; but was
subsequently admitted as a witness; and Mr. Nash, from the firm
of Maples, Pearse, Stevens, and Co., for the Railway Company.
It will be remembered that in consequence of information which
Mr. Collard, superintendent of the railway company's police, re-
ceived, he took into custody the man Morse, who two years ago
was a porter on the goods' side of the railway, at Pad dington, and
that:it was proved that the stolen case had been fawned at the
shop of Mr. Gideon, Stafford-street, Lisson-grove. Certain cir-
cumstances afterwards transpired, which led to the ipprehension
of Glazier in reference to the robbery, and yesterday t he following
new facts were gone into.
Mr. Fell, the chief clerk, at the outset of the procee dings, read
over the whole of the depositions taken upon the two ibrmer ex.
aminations, and
Mr. Ballantine then cross-examined Morse, who in answer to
his questions said--I was charged here with stealing the' dressing.
case. I sail butter and fowls, and am in the habit of going to
the railway to receive parcels addressed to me. About a fort.
night beforo I was taken 1 bad a parcel. I receive parer is some-
where about twice a week. I met a man named Williat ss, from
whom I received a gold chain, which I sold for 31. 7s. tid. I made
use of the money, but should have made it up to Williams it t he had
called upon me for it. The chain was given tome to deliver to Glazier.
I know I did wrong in selling it and pocketing what it p reduced.
I never told the prisoner that I had sold it. The prisor .er was a
porter on the line, and I thought the chain was honestly come by.
The prisoner Glazier was employed as a porter at the Bath station
up to the period of his being taken into custody. I WAS not dis-
missed for any misconduct, but I left my situation bee:arse I did
not like it.
Mr. LoNs--•After you sold the chain did you see the. prisoner ?
Morse—Yes.
Mr. LONG--Did you mention to him the name of th e person to
whom you hail sold it, or say anything about it whatever ? Morse—
No.
Mr. Collatrel said, accompanied by Hooker (one of I he warrant-
officers of tlais Court), I apprehended the prisoner, and on our pro-
gress tosvari Is town I said to him " Glazier, I am sort sy to see you
in such a pr edicament, but I was in hopes there was no thing against
you." He replied, " Oh! Mr. Collard, I have been drawn into
it." 1 tak him that the less he said to me about it t. tie better, as
I should hr me to repeat all before the magistrate.
Mr. Bat .LANTINE (to Cellard)—How long has Gla. tier been in
the Company's employ ?
Mr. Call and—Ever since June, 1842.
Mr. Nal •h—What is your opinion of Morse's character—would
you believe him upon his oath f Mr. Collard—l do no t think I
stmuld.
Williarr is, who had given his name before, was cross-examined
by Mr. Ba Ilantino at some length, and the answers to questions put
tc him were—" When the dressing-case wss put into my hands at
t! se public:-house, in Red Lion-street, Whitechapel, it was under.
• toed that I might dispose of it if I could for 91. 15s. I found Oat
't he case had been broken open, and I gave it and the gold chain
tack to Morse. I have never gone to the railway to assist Morse
n carrying his parcels of butter and cheese. I once met him at
' the Railway Tavern by the bridge, but that was by accident, and
just after I had seen my wife off by the train. It was in Fleet-
street that I first met Morse. There was a vinaigrette in the dress-
ing-case."
Other evidence was gone into, and
• Mr. LONG, after maisipg many remarks upon the testimony

adduced, said that the case was one for the consideration of a jury,
and accordingly committed the prisoner for trial.
SO WI liti'AßlC.

James Hall, described as an attorney, appeared upon his re-
cognisance to answer a charge of obtaining 41. 16s. from Char-
lotte Nicholson, under the pretence of employing counsel to de-
fend her at the Central Criminal Court.

From the complainant's evidence, it appeared that she kept a
small shop in one of the arches of the Greenwich Railway, and
that in the month of January last she was committed for trial
from this Court to the Central Crim'i.al Court. That previously
to being sent to Newgate the prisoner came round to the cell in
which she was locked up :at the rear of this court, and having in-
troduced himself to her, said that he would get her through the
affair, and promised to employ Mr. Wilkins to defend her when
the case came on for trial. He then said that he should require
the necessary pecuniary means to proceed in the business, and she
authorised him to receive money from her friends to enable him
to go on with, and he ultimately assured her that he had given
Mr. Wilkins a fee of two guineas to defend her at the sessions.
When the trial, however, came on in February, there was no
counsel to defend her, and she complained to the Court of the
circumstance, and Mr. Wilkins then said that a person had
applied to him to take a brief on her behalf, but that the party
making the application made some excuse in not paying the
usual fee, and the consequence was that she was uncle•
fended. On that occasion the Recorder, on being made
aware of the conduct pursued towards the complainant by the
person who had undertaken the case, made some very severe re-
marks with regard to the manner in which she had been treated,
and added that the person represented as the attorney deserved to
be punished for the gross imposition it was alleged he had practised.
In the course of the complainant's statement she said that, in order
to raise the money required by the prisoner for her defence, she
was obliged to have her pig sold while she was in gaol, besides
being compelled to appeal to some of her friends. Since she had
come out of prison she called on the prisoner at Symond's Inn, with
a view that he might refund the money of which she considered she
had been robbed, but he treated her applications with contempt, and
only abused her for presuming to call upon him on such business.
John Simmondt, a witness, living in complainant's house, stated
that he had given the prisoner 41. 10s. 6d. on account of Mrs. Ni-
cholson, while she was in gaol, as he told him that he was autho-
rised by Mrs. Nicholson to come to him for money to dcfend her.
On one occasion the prisoner ealled and asked for money, when he
was told by witness that he had none; the prisoner then said that
there was a sovereign in the drawer, which was locked at the time,
and he took a knife off the table, and pushing back the lock, took
the sovereign and then went away. The witness added that he did
not try to prevent the prisoner from taking the sovereign, under
the belief that Mrs. Nicholson had desired him to take it.

The eomplainant, in reply to Mr. TRAILL, said she gave the
prisoner no authority to take the sovereign.
The complainant's son-in-law was then called, with a view to
ascertain if the prisoner, in obtaining a sovereign from him, on his
assertion that it was required to defend his relative, had made such
a promise at the time, or used such language on the occasion, as
brought him within the scope of the Act, so that the false pretence
could be sustained.

The MAGISTRATE, however, was of opinion that no specific in-
stance of the "false pretence" was established, to justify him in
sending the case before a jury. No doubt a very gross imposition
had been practised by the prisoner, but he had managed it in such
a way as to have just escaped the meshes of the law ; be the (Ma-
gist;:ate) must, therefore, dismiss the case. _ . .

, .
The prisoner said that he wished to be permitted to enter into an
explanation, and would show that he exerted himself on the behalf
of the complainant, and was not even paid the expenses he was at
in conducting her case to the eve of trial.
r. TRAILL said that every explanation the prisoner could give
would not have the slightest effect in producing any change in his
opinion as to the scandalous manner in which he had acted towards
the complainant, and that, therefore, it was quite useless for him
to say any more on the subject, as he was discharged.

Prisoner took the Magistrate's advice, and, whipping up hie hat,
hastily left the Court.

THAMES.

William Whiteman, a remarkable looking man, who is blind of
the right eye, which was covered with a black patch, was finally
examined, charged with obtaining eleven wheelbarrows, value
16s. 6d. each, under false pretences, from Samuel Mills, a wheel-
wright, residing at No. 10, Batt-street, St. George's-in-the-East.
Since the prisoner's last examination two other Cases had been esta-
blished against the prisoner, who, it would seem, had been prac-
tisin g the fraud to a considerable extent.
Mills, who appeared to be a hard.working poor man, said the
prisoner came to him on Monday week, and representing himself
to be foreman to Mr. Brune', who, he said, had the formation of
the railroad from Putney to Richmond, engaged him to make seve-
ral dozens of wheelbarrows. The poor man, delighted at so good
a jib, set two additional hands to work, and eleven barrows were
delivered at various times. A bill of parcels was made out in the
prisoner's name, and lie promised to pay within a given time, but
wh en the period arrived he never made his appearance. On one
occasion when the prisoner called he said he was paymaster for all
things of that sort on the line, and that he had then 3001. in his
pociket, which he was going to pay away. lit fact, his manner was
so plausible, and he talked so off-handedly, that the prosecutor
never entertained a doubt of him until be broke his engagement.
The poor fellow then went to Putney, where he ascertained that
no such person as the prisoner was known upon the line. He endea-
voured to sell the barrows which were on his hands, but was in-
formed that the company made all their own, so that he was out of
pocket the price of the eleven, of which the ;prisoner had defrauded
him, and had several others on hand, of which he could not make
gale.

Thomas Gunn, a wheelwright, residing at Russell.street, Ber-
mondsey, stated that the prisoner called on him on the lith inst.,
anel ordered a dozen wheelbarrows for the Richmond Railway, of
which he said Mr. Brunel was the engineer, and Mr. Maude the
contractor, and engaged to pay for them on the 14th. He got six
bat rows, for which he ordered a bill to be made out on Mr.
Mstude, and after that witness never saw him until he was in
cm tody.

James Bennett, another wheelwright, residing in the Wands-
worth-road, said that about five weeks since the prisoner came to
him and ordered two dozen of "nave " (railroad) barrows, direct-
ing that six should be at once made up as samples. He said they
were for Mr. Maude, the contractor for the railroad from Wands-
worth to Richmond, and the price agreed on was lbs. each. In a
fey/ days two were delivered to the prisoner, who signed a receipt
for them as for Mr, Maude. Witness desired him when he
wanted more to bring an order from Mr. Maude, and on the 2d of
October he brought what purported to be an order, when he not
odly received four more, but witness paid Is. 6d. for a cart to take
them into the road. He promised to pay the bill on the following
Friday, but witness did not see him again until he was in the
hands of the police.
John Munday, superintendent of the Richmond line, stated tha
Mr. Koill was the contractor, uud Mr. Locke the engineer. The
prisoner was not employed or known there, and they made their
own barrows.

Police-constable 343 K took the prisoner into custody on
Saturday. on the charge preferred by the first witness. When
arrested he said " Oh, Pll make it all right with Mr. Mills."
The prisoner, who by the advice of his solicitor (Mr. Pelham)
reserved his defence, was committed to Newgate for trial.
LAMBETH.

, Mary and Caroline Cumming, sisters, and Ann henchman, a
relation, who have been in custody for some days, charged with
being concerned in plundering Mr. Shaw, No. 11, Terrace, Wal-
worth.road, of property consisting of plate, jewellery, and other
Property, to the amount of nearly 7001., were again brought before
Hr. Norton for further examination.
Mr. Parry, barrister, attended for the prosecution; and Mr.
Games appeared on behalf of the prisoners.

The particulars of the case, as adduced in evidence, disclosed a
system of the most barefaced and reckless plunder and pawning
that has, perhaps, ever been brought under the notice of a court of
justice. The property produced, consisting of the most massive and
costly articles of plate, splendid diamond brooches, gold and silver
'watches, &c., from the shop of Mr. Turner, pawnbroker, in the Wel-
'worth-road, completely covered a large table, which is placed in
'the centre of the Court for the accommodation of professional
gentlemen ; and it was considered a matter of surprise amongst
every disinterested person present, that Mr. Turner, or his shop.
men, should have taken in property in pawn of such immense
value, from persons of the prisoners' description. From the evi-
dence, it appeared that the prisoner, Mary Cumming, had formerly
been in the service of Mr. Shaw, and had been succeeded in her
situation by her sister Caroline. About 18 months ago the pri.
goner, Mary, commenced pawning articles of plate at the shop of
Mr. Turner, and she thence represented the property as be.
longing to Mr. Back, who, she said, was her uncle, and who
lived at 11, in the Terrace. The pawnings and their fre-
quency increased, so that every article of plate, jewellery,
wearing apparel, &c., belonging to Mr. Shaw, must have
frequently passed through the hands of Mr. Turner's shop-
men. A chest of valuable plate belonging to Miss Calcraft,
and which was in the care of Mr. Shaw, had been plundered of its
contents, all of which had been pawned with Mr. Turner, redeemed,
with the interest paid, and pawned a second time. Some idea may
be formed of the extent to which these pawnings were carried on,
from the fact that during the last month articles which had been in
pawn for 1141. had been taken out, while others to the amount of
1231. were pledged. As much as 251. in one day was received
upon different articles, and a pair of silver candlesticks were re.
peatedly pawned in the morning and taken out again in the after-
noon, to be used at night, so that the sums received by the pawn-
broker for interest must have been enermous. The tickets of a
portion of the property, which were given up by the prisoners, ex-
hibited upon the face of them the greatest possible carelessness on
the part of Mr. Turner's assistants, for not one of them bore the
address, which it was admitted had been given by the prisoners
when pawning.
In their cross-examination by Mr. Games, the son of Mr. Turner
and Mr. Turner's apprentice acknowledged that when first the pri-
soner Mary Cumming came to the shop she used to pledge plain
articles, such as wearing apparel usually worn by servants. When
she first commenced pledgiog the plate, she described it as the pro-
perty of her uncle, a Mr. Back, residing at No. 11, Terrace, close
by. They took it for granted that her story was true, and did
not subsequently ask her further questions. They did not take the
trouble at any time, though the distance was not 200 yards from
their shop, to ascertain whether a Mr. Back resided at No. 11, on
the Terrace, nor had the difference of the last letter of the initials
on the plate they were constanty taking in, namely C, and that
which it would have been if the property belonged to Mr. Back,
namely B, ever struck them as at all suspicious. They also ad.
mitted, that though the duplicates produced were in their own
handwriting, they bad not inserted, as the law required, the address
of the person pawning.
Mr. Turner, who was present, and seemed a good deal excited
during the examination, said that however blameable his son and
young man might have been in not putting the proper address upon
the tickets, more blame was attributable to Mrs. Shaw in not ap-
prising him (Mr. Turner), when she had formerly taken a quan.
tity of property out of pawn at his shop, that her servant had

robbed her.
Mr. Parry observed that he would forbear at present making
any remarks upon the negligent manner in which a vast quantity
of valuable property had been taken in pledge, but should content
himself by applying to the Magistrate to order the whole of the
property produced into the custody and care of the constable en-
gaged in the case.
This the MAGISTRATE ordered, and again remanded the pri.
Boners.

GRAND UNION RAILWAY.—The intended line will be from
Nottingham to King's Lynn, with a branch from Folkmgham
to Boston. As the survey is nearly completed, the Com-
pany will be able to bring the project before Parliament next
session. Several other Companies will co-operate with them,
to extend the communication from Nottingham to the prin-
cipal ports on, the east coast, and connect that important and
improving town, by the most direct route, with the fertile
districts of Essex and Suffolk. The line from Amber Gate
'Hill be extended to Nottingham, and even to the Midland
'counties Railway Company, as a pledge that such Company
will co-operate with the Grand Union Railway Company—in
fact, that a league, offensive and defensive, shall be formed
between the two Companies. This surrender of the exten-
sion from Nottingham to Amber Gate will take the making
of that line from the Grand Union Railway Company, and
prevent the necessity of issuing extension-scrip for that
branch. This line will bringthe Eastern Counties into direct
communication with Manchester, Liverpool, the north of
England, Wales, and Ireland. On the other hand, it will
make Yarmouth and Boston the ports of Nottingham. We
have briefly alluded to a few of the advantages which, from
a. rapid examination of the map, and a consideration of the
requirements of the different localities, will probably be the

MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY.)

CCILN-ENCIdANGE.
During the past week the receipts of Wheat of home pro-
duce up to our market have been moderately good—viz.,
4,290 quarters, chiefly from Essex and Kent. The stands
were again well supplied with samples of both Red and White.
Owing to which, and the rumoured alteration in the corn-
laws, the demand was so extremely inactive, that price
ruled almost nominal ; indeed, scarcely a sale was effected.
The show of free foreign Wheat was good. The trade,
however. was very dull, at unaltered quotations. As
might be expected, holders of Corn under lock were
firm, and would not sell, except at higher rates. Although
the supply of English Barley was on the increase, the sale for
that article was steady, and prices were well supported. Su.
perfine Malt went oft in retail at fully p:evious quotations.
Very few Oats have reached us from any quarter; hence
the sale was firm, at full prices. In other grain no alteration.

It is proposed by this Company to establish a direct line of commu-
nication between Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull,
at the smallest outlay of capital, and with the least possible injury to
existing interests. To effect this object, use will be made of existing
or projected lines, as far as practicable, and the chain of communica-
tion will be completed by throwing out new lines, where requisite.
Commencing at Birmingham, it is proposed to use the Birmingham
and Derby Railway as far as Whitacre, whence a new line, about 29
inlength, will be made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and
Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid-
land Counties Railway
The communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be
carried forward as far as Gainsborough, either by the proposed Not-
tingham and Gainsborongh Railway, or by a line springing out of the
line from Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act was obtained by
the Midland Counties Company during the last session of Parliament.
From Gainsborough this railway will proceed to Barton-on-the-
Humber, or New Holland, in the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby
rendering complete and entire the chain of communication between
Birmingham and Hull.
By this project the advantages will result to the public of a
Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham,
Birmingham to Gainsborough,
and from Birmingham to Hull;
and by means of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Railway,
anti the intended extension to Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Airewas, a
direct line from Wolverhampton and Dudley to Nottingham, and
the other towns already enumerated.
The support of several companies will be enlisted in favour of the
Bee, which, together with its own merits, will ensure its suceess in
Parliament.
As a considerable portion of the line of communication is already
made, or in progress, the time required for the completion of this
great national undertaking will be materially shortened.
Independently of the advantages to be derived by a direct commu-
nication between the important seaport of Hull and the mining and
mannfacturin districts of Warwickshire and Staffordshire, a large
traffic in timber, corn, metals, &c., may be confidently expected.
The revenue of the Company, in addition, will be derived from the
great thorough traffic from Birmingham and the midland counties to
Niottingham and Gainsborough, and the immense traffic from Bir-
mingham to Hull, the port at which the exports are shipped to fiam-
burgh, the German States, and the North of Europe ; and from the
conveyance of merchandise, agricultural produce, and cattle from the
southern, western, and midland counties.
A preference will be given in the allotment of shares to landowners
on the line, and other local proprietors, as well as to directors and
shareholders in railways interested in supporting this undertaking.

No subscriber wilt be liable beyond the amount of the depos it
mail the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his
subscription.
The none' power will be taken to allow interest at the rate of four
per cent. from the time of payment upon each call until the opening
of the line*.

No applications will be attended to without a reference to a
member of the Committee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company.
The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be
axecuted when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip certifi-
cates, of which dun notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by
any party maklaz default in the execution of those deeds will be for-
feited.

The Committee of Management of this Company have much plea-
sure in laying before the Shareholders the following brief Report
from the Company's Engineer on the progress of the survey of the
line:—

" Leeds and Carlisle Railway, London, Oct. 29, 1845.

" Sir,—ln reply to your letter of this day, I have to request tbat
You will inform the Committee that I have just returned from a tour
over the line, and beg to report that the surveys for Parliament are
proceeding very favourably ; the whole of the ground survey will, I
fully expect, be completed this week or early hi next ; and about one
half of the line is now being engraved, and the remainder will be in
the engraver's hands next week. The solicitors are proceeding with
the reference, and the finished levels for the Parliamentary sections
are in progress, so that we fully expect that the whole will be ready
about the third week of next month, in good time for the deposit.
The gradients, also, for the most part, will be favourable, although
there will necessarily be some heavy work at the summit. The line
is laid out with a view to avoid the ornamental property ; and, upon
the whole, we have been very successfid, and the landowners, I
learn, are generally favo treble.
"I ant, SA', your most humble servant,

The Committee may trust that the friendly negotiations which
they have entered into with other Companies will result to the mutual
advantage of all parties.
The Committee have great satisfaction In being enabled to state
that this Company, from its finaucial position, as well as the pro-
gress of the survey and notices, will be prepared to comply with the
standing orders of Parliament, and proceed with the Bill this en-
suing session,
