behalf of the younger Gueste, whose claim oa a part of the great
property found in his father's home we have before noticed. In
addressing Mr. HaUs, the sitting Alagistrate, be said he came to
claim thirty sovereigns, and some silver articles, the property of the
younger Gueste.
Mr. Ilau.s asked the officers if they had obtained any further

information since ?

lieved, was one stolen from a Gentleman six months ago, in Tot.
tenham Court-road. _ _

A Mr. Smith, of Bedfordbury, said a silver sugar-basin found at
Gueste's was his property.
Fagan remarked that it was found in a very suspicious place,
under a bed.

bk. Humphreys—We do not claim that, we chin% 30 sovereigns.
Fagan—Old Gueste said they were his property.
Hau.s—Let the lather come forward and settle the account
between himself and his son, and I shall have no objection to give
him what he claims; but at present I feel that I am accountable to
the father for all the property found at bis house. 1 also call upon
the son to prove his claim.
Young titivate said, the only persons who could prows that his
claim was a legal one were his wife and mother.
Fagan-1 think I have an owner for the, very watch you claim.
Mr. Huut.—Ors that account I shall make no order at present.
Fagan—l am also conlideot that some of the silver articles were
stolen from Mrs. Crompton, of Bryanstone-square. If I have only
a few days longer, Lana sure I can get owners for the entire of the

property.
Young Gueste gave a description of some of the property which
Fagan said was claimed by others.
Mr. HALLS—From what I have heard I shalt give the officers
time for inquiry, and shall postpone the cue till Saturday.
