(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

Norwich, Nine o'Clock, Tuesday Evening.
The witness Yarhum is just, discharged from tha Castle.
A mob instantly recognised him, and is at this moment hoot-
ing him from street to street. The verdict of the jury is pre-
sumed to be founded on the assumption that Yarham was
implicated in the murder, and that his turning approver was
a deliberate design to fix the crime on three innocent men.

(Before \I r. Justice CorirmAs.)
PosT-OFFICE ROBBERY.—Edward Spicer, a mail guard,
was indicted for stealing a post letter containing one brace-
let, one brooch, one ring, and other articles, value 20/. the
property of the Postmaster-General. He was also charged
with stealing a post letter c mtaining two bank notes and
moneys, the property of he Postmaster-General.
The Solicitor Gene; al and Mr. Adolphus appeared for the
prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson for the defence of the prisoner.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL opened the case by detailing the
facts, which will be more fully proved in the evidence.
Several clerks from the Post-office were called to prove
that a letter addressed Mrs. Ludlam, Charmouth, Dorset,
was posted on the night of the 18th Jan., and after-
wards sealed and delivered into the custody of
the prisoner, who was the guard in charge It
was further proved that the letter did not arrive at its desti-
nation next day, and that one of the notes was traced to the
residence of the brother who accounted for its pos-
session by saying that the prisoner had given it to him for
change. When the prisoner was taken into custody he ac-
counted for the fact of the note being in his possession by
saying that ten sovereigns were given by him in change for
the ten-pound note at the Southampton terminus. A con-
stable was afterwards sent to the prisoner's house, at
Southampton, and the missing note for 5/ was foun i there.
The prisoner accounted for it by saying that he had received
it from the same person who had given him the other.
After some further evidence. the Learned JUDGE summed
up, and the jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
The prisoner was then arraigned upon the first charge,
but on the advice of his counsel, pleaded Guilty. The sen-
tences were in both ca'es deferred.
THE MURDER AT HAMPSTEAD.
In the course of the day the Grand Jury came into Court,
and handed to Mr. Straight, the Deputy Clerk of Arraigns,
a true bill against Thomas Henry Rocker for murder, and
also a true bill against the same prisoner for felony.
Mr. BODKIN, who is instructed on behalf of the Crown, ad-
dressed the Court, and said it would be a great convenience,
both to the prosecution and to the defence, if a day were ap-
pointed for the trial of the prisoner, against whom the Grand
Jury had just returned true bills. He suggested that Friday
should be named for the trial.
• Mr. Justice COLTMAN said he had no objection.
The Court adjourned at Five o'clock.

STEALING Two CHESTS of TEA. Richat d Langdell
and Ft edet ich Payne, labourers, were indicted for break-
ing and entering the warehouse of Mr. John Symonds,
proprietor of the Saracen's (lead book ng-effi, e, Ald-
gate, and stealing 190Ihs. of tea, value 35L, and Thotnas
Emig, idye, a cab-driver, was indicted for receiving the
same, well knowing it to have been stolen.
From the statement of the Counsel for the pr, sec ution,
Mr. DOANE, and from the evidence adduced, it appeared
that Langdell had at one time been in the service of Mr.
Symonds, as ostler, and was well acquainted with the pre-
mises. Payne had obtained permission from Mr. Odell,
the bookkeeper, to put up dogs now and then in the yard.
hi Thursday, the 13th of March, Langdell was observed
to go to,the warehouse door, to take the key out of it
and make an impression of it in red putty, which he had
in a small tin box. During a great portion of the day
following he and Payne were observed to sit at the
window of the " tap' attached to the booking-office,
which commanded a view of the warehouse door, and where
they could observe all the goods placed therein the course of
that day. Amongst other articles placed there on Satur-
day, for the purpose of being sent off on the following
Monday, were two chests of tea. Payne and Langdell
were in the " tap" during nearly the whole of Sunday,
and were last seen there between seven and eight
o'clock in the evening. About nine o'clock a rumbling
noise was heard in the warehouse. About that hour a
cab, driven by the prisoner Etteridge, came into the yard.
Soon after Payne and Langdell were seen standing be-
tween the cab and the warehouse door, which drove
off. Payne went with it. Langdell went to his
dogs, liberated them, and ran after the cab.
Tho whole of the prisoners were taken into custody in
the Blue Boar-yard the same night. Etteridge said he
was engaged to drive Langdell and Payne and two sacks
(the tea was taken out of the boxes, which were broken
up and left in the warehouse) to Pettieost-lane. He
had some drink with them at the White Horse, and
left them and the sacks at the corner of the
lane. Payne had 71. on him and it was proved that the
day before the robbery he had asked a person whom he
knew to lend him 6d.
Mr. O'BRIEN and Mr. BALLANTINE then addressed
the jury for Payne and Etteridge.
The jury found Payne and Langdell Guilty, and Ac-
quitted Etteridge.

the intentions of the Act of Parliament. and that it was
his duty to sentence them to transporattion for ten years
