BOLV-SIREET.

George Fowler, a respectable-looking country lad, was
brought up under the following circumstanees :
Mrs. Mary Cass,llstated that she had been in the City to
receive some money, and having transacted her business she
took an omnibus, with the view of reaching her home early.
She had not been in the omnibus long when two persons left it,
and she found that she had lost a bill of exchange for 601. She
immediately took a coach aed proceeded to the firm of Messrs.
Antrobus and Co., the bankers, in the Strand, where the bill
was made payable. When she arrived there she found the
prisoner there, who was just about presenting the bill for pay-
ment, in exchange for which he asked for six 10/. notes. She
spoke to the clerk, and he asked the prisoner where he got the
bill ; he said a gentleman near the door had given it him, and
had told him to get change for it whilst he waited near the 'door.
A policeman was immediately sent for, and he went to the
place, where the prisoner said the man had promised to stop,
but no such person was to be found. The prisoner was not one
of the men who had been in the omnibus.
Policeman, F 120, corroborated the latter part of the prose-
trix's evidence.

The prisoner, in his defence, stated that he was a basket
maker by trade, and had come to London from Faversham for
the first time on Monday last; he was now living with his aunt
in Churchway, St. Pancras. On the day in question he was
proceeding along the Strand in company with his cousin, a
little boy about ten years of age, when a man called to him, and
asked him to go to the bank and change the note. Prisoner
replied that he was a stranger, and did not know anything about
banks. The man said, " You see those black railings ; that's
the house; go there, and ask for six ten-pound notes. I am
going in here to get a glass of gin." He then went to the
house pointed out, and handed in the note, when he was taken
into custody.
Mrs. Jervis, the prisoner's aunt, a respectable-looking woman,
proved that the prisoner had come to London on Moncia
the first time, and she was sure that he would not be capable
of doing anything wrong. Monday
be
for
John Jervis, a young lad about 10 years of age, was next

examined. He underwent an extremely minute examination
by Mr. Hall. His statements in every particular corresponded
with what had been said by the prisoner, and were delivered in
so ingenuous a manner as to leave no doubt in the minds of the
Court as to the correctness of his statements.
Mr. HALL then, addressing the prosecutrix, said—You have
hoard the evidence ; there is no reason to believe that there is •
any ccliusiun botween the parties who have given evidence in
this case. The prisoner's appearance is that of a csuntry
boy, and it is very likely indeed that he has been matte
the dupe of some more designing person. He was not in the
omnibus, and I think it very probable that the person saw
sent him in with the bill saw that he was a rustic, and fixed
on him as a proper person to carry out his infamous designs!
The place where the man remained, when the prisoner went
in wish the bill; appears to have been so situated that he
could see him come out, and could, of course, see the police-
man go in and come but. The persons who stole the bill Ina,'
yet be apprehended, and then this youth will be forthcoming,t°
identify the man who gave him the bill. Then (addressinogt
the prisoner) he said, 44 You are discharged, 'and there is n
Ca slightest imputation on your character."
Five voung women, named Jane Knight, Ellen Ealing'
Plwebe Baldwin, Ellen Ralph, and Mary Horrinton, we!!
charged with being disorderly and creating a disturbance ul•

Mr. Buckstone, the master of the workhouse,
dity of whose visage has not a whit decreased since .we
the pleasure of last seeing him at this Court, stated the chaiiiaat
with a great deal of dignity and complacency. He said nt

A decrepid old man, dressed in the workhouse gare,,,.
was denominated the watchman, stated that Jane Knign" be
she would smash him, if he went nigh her or by her ; s
swore Elle would smash him to pieces, and deniolage him. Tb:
other girls also, with the exception of Baldwin, took
and threw at him, from one of which he received a severe bl uo.
on the temple. Baldwin advised the girls not to throw stun
at him, and said it was a shame to hurt the old man. tot

Buckstone stated that Baldwin, Ralph, and Ealing had
been in prison before for disorderly conduct. d
The prisoners were then called on for their defence, an eie
they all said something, we present our readers with tb
statements. 1 WS

Mr. Buckstone explained that those who were shuvetheit
were allowed tea and sugar, but he had the power to stop
allowance if they behaved improperly.
Ellen Ealing said, I never throwed a stone. didn't Ellen Ralph said, 1 only eaved one stone, and tha siss
