stables with being found drunk in the kennel. b Arundel-street,

On the prisoner being brought to the watchhoose or station. Mr.
Gyles, one of the inspectors, felt something bulky in his waistcoat
pocket. On this be had him searched, and it was found be a tin
bon, containing three rank o f England notes far 1001. each, five
sovereigns. and some silver.
Sir Kamm, Blame now asked the prisoner to account for the
possession of the money.
The prisoner said it was left him by his brother's will, and with
some difficulty it was got out of him that be was paid in a check
upon Messrs. Child's bank. The prisoner's wife came into the Office
with a copy of the will, which rather increased the mysterious ap-
pearance of the case, as it was dated so long back as 1900.
Mr. Thomas, the superintendent, who bid already been to
Child's and ascertained that some of the notes bad been in their
hands in May, was requested by Sir R. Bums to return there with
the prisoner. and see whether be was there recognised as the per-
son who received the money.

certained that the money was paid to the prisoner on the 9th of
June last. upon which he restored it to him in the presence of
Messrs. Child, and dismissed him as directed to do.

Henry D►wy, Absurd Dopy, and Comdisco Gower, three robust
Irishmen, were yesterday placed at the bar baton the Presiding
Magistrate, J. Rawunson, Rsq. charged with creating a dreadful
riot in Catsstreet.

Edmond King, proprietor of the Hone and Groom. John-street.
deposed, that about ten o'clock oa Sunday morning the prisoners
came into his tap-room, and after remaining there a short time he
:heard a great disturbance in the room. He went in and saw the
whole of the company joining in a dreadful affray with quart pots.
He Immediately sent out for the police, when the majority of the
men, together with the three prisoners. rushed out.
William Tyson, one of the constables to the Commissioners of
Police, stated that on being fetched from the station he saw a
great disturbance, upwards of five hundred people being assembled.
The three mu were pointed out to him. and he, together with a
brother siker, after much diSculty, succeeded la apprehending
them. They were violent, and were obliged to be handcuffed at
the watch-house.

Mr. Rawunson enquired what the defendants had to say.
The defendant, Henry Davy, stated that himself and brother
went into the defendant's house, and had not been there more
than ten minutes before one man commenced striking the other
with a quart pot ; they merely interfered, when they were vio-
lently assaulted; and were not the aggressors, nor did they ever
strike a blow at all. This appeared to be feasible, as t►ey were
literally covered with wounds, their heads being tied up.

Gower said in defence that be had merely interrupted them in
Sighting, and it had fallen very heavily upon him.
Mr. Rawustsou remarked, that with regard to the defendants
(Davy), there might bare been some mistake ; but as respected
Gower, there had not been a disturbance in that neighbourhood for
a length of time but that he had been most active in. The worthy
Magistrate then ordered the Davys to be discharged, on entering
into their own recognizance., and Gower to find good bail to keep
the peace.
A dealer in marine stores, named Admen, residing In Homer-
street, was yesterday brought before the Presiding Magistrate.
charged with buying a large quantity of phial/a, knowing them to
have been stolen, the property of Mr. T. D. Curtis, a surgeon, re-
siding in Usson-street, New road.
Mr. Curtis stated that for some time past a quantity of phial
had been stolen from his Laboratory, and not only these, but phials
full of medicine directed to his different patients had been detained,
and the phials sold to a man Named Ambrose.
Hasty liarrips, the errand boy in the service Mr. Curtis
stated that he bad purloined a quantity of phials belonging to his
master, and had sold them to the defendant. On their coming to
the Mice the Defendant whispered in the errand boy's ear, " Say
the phials were dirty."
The prisoner said that be was sorry be bad bought them ; be
had merely said to the boy as they came along, " Yon villain, the
phials were dirty." When the boy sold the Ant phials he had
inquired where he got them from, and the boy bad accounted sa-
tisfactorily for the possession. He bad bought them at the rate of
six-pence per dozen.
Mr. Rawuosou said that the conduct of marine store proprietors
could not be too severely censured. In his opinion there was more
than one villain (referring to the defendant's observation to the
boy) in the present case • it was the ready method of disposing of
articles that was Abe principal inducement to robbery. A Jury
should determine who was the guilty party, and be would willingly
sit on the bench until midnight if he thought it would be
the means of bringing any of the marine store receivers to
justice.
The prisoner was then fully committed, but ordered to be again
brought up and allowed to put In bail to answer the charge at the
Sessions.

A man named Gorge rikter was brought before Mr. LANG,
charged by Mr. Sbillibeer, the Omnibus proprietor.

deposed that on Sunday afternoon, about half-past three o'clock.
as the Omnibus was proceeding near St. Pancras New Church,
quite full. having twenty passengers inside, the prisoner bailed him
Witness informed him there was no room. The prisoner then
jumped upon the step behind the coach and hung on by the door,
and used the most disgusting language, there being several ladle;
inside. He desired the prisoner to get down. He refused, and
still hung on by the doer. Witness then forced him of, and as soon
as he got down he took up a large stone and threw it with great
violence at the Omnibus ; luckily it escaped entering the window
by a few inches, and went against the panel of the door, which it
broke in. Witness then gave the prisoner In charge to Ley,
the beadle.

Mr. Lama (to Mr. Shillibeer)—What is the amount of damage
done to the coach ?
Mr. Shlllibeer replied. be had scarcely bad time to inquire, but
the amount of damage done was net so much an object with him
as the punishment of the prisoner, as he had acted in so scandalous
a manner.
Mr. Lassa—Do you think that .C 3 would pay the damage done ?
Mr. Sbillibeer—l think it scarcely would, as the panel is com-
pletely broken, and the painting of course spoiled.
Mr. Lasso (to prisoner}—How do you get your living?
Ptitener—l go in the country with pickled ulmou and other

things.
Mr. LAING—You must pay the sum of Al 10s. or go to prison
for two months.

accomplished In punishing the man.
