CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY

POST-OFFICE( Y.—Edward Spicer, a mail guard.
Before
ROBBERY.--Edward
Justice CoirmAN.)
was indicted for stealing a post letter containing one brace-
let, one brooch, one ring, and other articles, value 20/. the
propel ty of the Postmaster-General. He was also charged
with stealing a post letter containing two bank notes and
moneys, the property of : he Postmaster-General..
The Solicitor .General and Mr. Adolphus appeared for the
prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson for the defence of the priioner.
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•in-law, 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 temminus. A con-
stable was afterwards sent to the prisoner's house, • at
Southampton, and the missing note for 5/ was fount 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 cases deferred.
