FRlnay.—(Before THOS. JA7IES H %La, Esq., the Magistrate.)
STEALING COTTON.—Roger Parker, William Ireland, John
M`Donnell, and Patrick Burns were brought up charged with
stealing three bales of cotton, the property of Messrs. Cropper and
Benson, from a warehouse in the Back. Goree, called Thorue-
, ly's Warehouse. The parties were brought up the day before,
and remanded for further examination. Mr. Wood supported
the case, and Mr. Davenport appeared on behalf of the prisoners.
Mr. Wood, on the prisoners being first brought up, made an
application to the magistrate fur Parker to be admitted as an
evidence against the other three prisoners. A. Ir. Hall said, if
Parker was prepared to tell anything, he was willing to hear it;
bet he could not make any promise that Parker would not be
tried: the recorder only could do that. Parker then entered
the witness-box, and in the course of a long examination de-
posed to seeing the prisoners Ireland and Macdonnell many
times, and that M‘Donnell agreed to purchase some cotton of
them; that he took a cart on the 22d of January last, and went
along with the other prisoners to Mr. Thornely's warehouse.
It was betwixt twelve and one o'clock at noon, and they entered
the warehouse by means of a key that Ireland had. Ireland
opened the door, and he (Parker) went and put the ropes alown.
They then locked up the warehouse and took the key. They '
carried the three bales of cotton to M‘Donnell's warehouse in
Crooked-lane. M'Donnell bid them 3d. a lb. for the cotton :
there was 10 cwt. 2 qrs. and a few Ills of it. The amount came to
£l6. lls., which was to be paid by instalments: they had got
£lO of it paid in three weeks. He had never told thin story to
any one but Ainsworth the day before —Edward Price deposed
to beitig a porter in Cropper and Benson's employment; had
been there since 1814. He had charge of the room No. 7, in
Thornelya; warehouse, in the Back Goree. The last witness
was working under him mending cotton bags in December and
January. Remembered three or four hundred bales being
placed in the warehouse in August last from the Eliza Grant,
which he had charge of. On the 15th of last January he count-
ed the cotton, which was on that day perfectly right. He kept
the key, and no cotton could be delivered but through him.
He went into the warehouse on the 26th of January, and ob-
served that the jigger-door was open. He tried the' key in it,
and it would not lock. He became alarmed, and counted the
cotton over four times, and found each time three bales short.
The porters were generally absent from the warehouses between
twelve and one o'clock.—Peter Wright, a carter in the employ-
ment of Mr. Barrow, deposed to Parker wanting him to cart
some cotton for him from the Goree to Atherton-street. He
asked him who it was for, and where it was from. He anavered
it was for himself, aad that it was from Thoruely's; and that
he could get it without Priceapulling a key out of his pocket at
the same time, which he held up. He then refused to have any
thing to do with him.—Mary Ryder, who lives servant at Mr.
Grier's house, in Dale-street, deposed to seeing tli prisoners
all together at her master's house about three weeks ago:—
Lewis Roberts deposed to his father being a ship-chandler in
Crooked-lane. He had frequently seen M‘Donuell at a ware-
house in Ciooked-lane. On Friday the 22d of January remem-
bered seeing three bales of cotton brought in a cart to M`Don-
nell's warehouse. Both Ireland and Parker were with it;
M‘Donnell was not there. He saw him there about an hour
and a half afterwards. They were in a great hurry. Could not
say whether there was concealment or not.—Elias Owen de-
posed to underletting, a warehouse in Crooked-lane to MaDon-
nell.—No evidencebeing brought against Patrick Burns, he
was discharged. The magistrate ordered the inforniations to be
taken in the cases of Ireland audal•Donnell. Mr. Davenport
applied to know if bail would be taken.—Mr. Hall said he would
consider about it. If be he did take bail, it must be very good
bail. The day following the depositions were read, and Ireland
and 111‘Donnell were committed to take their trial, and Parker
was ordered to be confined in the Borough Gaol till the sessions.
The value of the cotton stolen was said to be £l5.
:INFoitmArtoN.—Mr. Joseph Owen was summoned on an in-
formation charging him with taking up some pavement in
Richmond-row, and erecting a fence without the permission of
the commissioners. During the last week the commissioners
had met, and left orders for this fence to be constructed so as
lesi to incommode the public, to which defendant had paid no
attention. After a long conversation, in which the defendant
declined altering the fence, stating that as much room was al-
lowed the public as they could allow, to carry on the work.—M r.
Hall said, as he was determined to do his own way, he Must
enforce the penalty. He should tine him 4Us. and costs. The
penalty to which he was liable was £5O.
UNSTAMPED NEWSPAPERS.—John Pughe wa's summoned to
answer an information laid by the Stamp-office, charging hail
with selling, on the 16th and 23d January, an unstamped news-
paper, called Cleav'e's Weekly Police Gazette, published in Lon-
don, and sold for 2d. The information was laid under the 60th
of Geo. 111. Mr. Currie and Mr. Hewit appeared to support
the defendant.
Mr. Currie wished the service of the snininons to be proved
in the first instance, before the examination of the informer
was proceeded with.
Mr. Hall replied that he could not do this, as be (Mr. Currie)
had, the moment before, acknowledged that he appeared for
time defendant as his legal adviser.
Mr. Hewit thought it of importance to the case that the ser-
vice of the summons should be proved, as they might possibly
show, if the informer had served the summons, that he was not
a competent witness for the remainder of the case.
Mr. Hall said it was sufficient proof of the service of the sum-
mons that Mr. Currie had stated he appeared for Pughe. It
was, now too late.
Mr. Hewit said be would withdraw the objection if the magis-
trate thought it a trifling one.
John Thomas deposed that he knew John Pughe's shop in
Marybope,•and that. ou the 16th and 23d January he purchased
two unetamped newspapers, for which be paid
_2d., called
Cleave's Weekly Police Gazette. He had heard it was John
Pughe of whom be bought them; he had but one arm. He
knew it to be John Pughe's shop. Isaac Roberts went with
Klan. The writing on the newspapers was his.
Isaac Roberts deposed to being with the last witness when
he' purchased these papers. They were purchased of John
Peglie. He knew Pughe before he went to the shop.
Mr. Currie submitted
.that the information ought to be
trashed, in as much as it was laid under an act of parlianient
passed by the wisdom of our forefathers, the 60th of Gee. HI.,
which was passed more in the dread of the pow'er whith the dif-
fusion of information gave to the people than from a view to
benefit the treasury. It appeared also that under the act of
parliament, under which the information was laid, that the in-
forMation ought to contain the name and title of the paper in-
fprmed against, so as to give the parties summoned an oppor-
thhity of shaping the best defence they contd. This informa-
tion was totally silent on the subject, and he thought that no
Magistrate having the power of making a summary conviction
ought to call for a defence. They came before the magistrate
not knowing what charge was against them.
Mr. Hall.—Supposing they had told you it was for selling
Cleave's Gazette, how would that alter the case ?
Mr. Currie.—Had we known it was for selling such a paper
chi such a day, we might have been prepared with some defence.
Mr. Hall thought the present information quite enough.
Mr. Currie would not press the matter; but there had been
decisions recently in London to the effect that an information
should contain such particulars.
Mr. Hall.-1 will hear any authority if yon can produce any.
Mr..Currie.—lf you will admit as an authority a report con-
tained in one of the papers informed against, I will read it.
Mr. Hall said he might read it.
Mr. Currie then proceeded to read the report of a stamp-
office information laid before Sir Peter Laurie, in London, in
which the information did not contain a full description of the
Mime, &c., of the paper, and where it was decided that the in-
forMation should contain such particulars. If they had been
previously informed what was the subject of the present infor-
mation they might have been prepared with a defence.
Mr. Hall said that the act required that all newspapers con-
taining any public news, and not stamped, should be subjected
to a penalty.
Mr. Come said he would not admit that that was a news-
paper., He had not had an opportunity of reading it, not having*
been furnished with the title of the newspaper.
aar. Hall said he might read it then.
Mr. Currie said, admitting that it was a newspaper, he thought
lie had made out sufficient for an application for a postponement
of the case, in order that they might have an opportunity fora
defence. If the present information were summarily decided on
it would bring ruin on the defendant, who was a man with only
one arm, and he supported a large family. The defendant had
Very likely sold the papers considering that the stamp duty was
repealed, as it ought to have been.
Mr. Hall said they had nothing to do with how far it might
be wise or unwise in the legislature to continue this act. He
did not see what benefit could result from granting any time.
Mr. Curie was quite aware that he was in a different position
tu *hat he would have been under the old set of magistrates.
The Mayor.—lt is Mach better to avoid making such remarks.
Mr. Currie only meant that the old magistrates could not see
so far into the case as Mr. Hall, from his legal knowledge.
Mr. Hall.—lt is much better not' to make any such observa-
tions.
Mr. Currie only meant it to allude to Mr. Hall's profession.
Mr. Hall could not see what benefit could arise from a post-
poaement. What they asked was simply this, "If you delay
the case we may, by possibilitiy, find something to aid- us."
Mr. Currie would have been prepared with evidence if he had
known the charge. He had evidence who knew something of
the defendant's circumstances.
Mr. Hall.—They were only hearing facts now. Had he any
witnesses as to facts ?
Mr. Currie.—No,• but he might have with a postponement.
Mr. Hall.—The defendant will be no wiser for it.
Mr. Currie said be might. he prepared to prove that defendant
gave notice to the. Stamp-office that he was going to publish
Without a stamp.
Mr. Hall.—Yoa must have some ground to show that you
have evidence to Produce as a reason for delaying the case.
Mr. Currie said that it was a hardship to bring defendant
tfelbYtt a rnmestrate.ivtiO had powerto gratira summary con*ic
tlon, without letting him know what it was he was to defend.
Mr. Hall thought there was sufficient notice.
Mr. Hewit did not know whether the magistrate had made
up his mind on that point, if so anything he might urge might
be a work of supererogation. A complaint in a case like the
pre‘ent was bound to be laid according to the forms of law.
NoW, it appeared to him that a certain description ought to be
given of the nature of the offence so as to apprise the defendant
of the precise nature of the charge against him, and so as to
enable the defendant to rebut that charge. In the 3d vol. of
Burns' Justice, it was stated that an information ought to con-
tain an exact description of the offence, in order that thc de-
fendant might know what charge to answer. It was very pos-
sible, if that information had contained the name of the publi-
cation so as to identify it, but that defendant might have been
able to have furnished negative testimony. He might have'
brought persons from his own shop to prove that no such paper
ever was sold there, and he thought that these were cases in
which the magistrates ought to proceed with very great circum-
spection, for the persons by whom such notices were served
were generally persons of bad character. The nature too of the
conviction was extremely summary.
Mr. Hon.—There is opportunity of appeal given to von.

SINGULAR INVESTIGATION.—On Friday.a Young woman was
charged with having stolen propel tv, consisting of jewels, plate,
money, &c., to the amount of 2,600, front the house of a gen-
tleman named Cochrane, with whom she bad cohabited, and
who died at Kingston in January, 1835.—Counsel appeared -on-
both sides, and the widow of the dec sed was also. present. Se-•
veral chests and boxes, containing the roperty alleged to hive
been stolen, were produced by the cers. The late Mr.
Cochrane, it appeared, lived happily wit his wife until he met
the prisoner at Goodwood Races, from which time he cohabited
with the latter: He was possessed of a large fortune, and onahe
death of his mother he also came into possession of an immense
stock of valuable jewels, which he conveyed to Percival-street,
Clerkenwell, where he had taken up his residence vrith'the pri-
soner, as man and wife. At the time of his death the-jewels,
money, &c., to the amount above stated, were in the house in
Percival-street, all of which it was alleged the prisoner bad
fraudulently taken possession of. Mrs. Cochrane came to
town, and means were adopted to take out letters of admini-
stration on her behalf; but this proceeding was opposed by the
prisoner by her putting in a paper which she propounded as the
will of the deceased, by which the bulk of his property was left
to a child, which was described as the child of the 'late Mr.
Peter Cochrane, by Mary Ann Middleton, the ,prisoner The
prisoner, however, after making oath that she was the mother
of the child, and that the deceased was the father, subsequently
put in another allegation, stating that she acted upon misin-
formation, and that the child was neither her's, nor the late Mr.
Cochrane's. The Ecclesiastical court, of course, upon this de-
nial consented to the letters of administration on behalf Of the
' widow. The prisoner, on being called upon to give an account
of the property, replied that a large portion of it was left to beg by
the deceased, hut no mention was made of the jervels. She also
stated that the money left-amounted to no more than £5O. Mrs.
Elizabeth Cochrane, however, deposed, that at the time of her
husband's decease, there was in the house in Percival-street,
besides the jewels, 22 watches, a bank note for £l,OOO, and three
others for ZloU each. In her cross examination she said she
had a small allowance-by way of alimony from the Ecclesiasti-
cal court, in consequence of her taking proceedings against her
husband for the restitution of conjugal rights, and for a main-
tenance. Mr. Cochrane was in his, 2,5 th year-When he died.—
Mary Baxter, a widow, who worked fov Cochrane, when
living in Percival-street, - also stated that the deceased kept a
carriage for the prisoner, and the day after, his decease she
called upon witness, and they removed, and had the property
conveyed thither. Witness saw a number of jewels, which the
prisoner told her site- rad brought away from Percival-street to
conceal, as the property by right belonged to heitr.-A silver tea-,
service was also brought to Stamford-street' by a man named
Wood, but he took if away again at the prisoner's desire, the
prisoner-on that occasion saying—" Curse the thiNs, I wish I
had nothing to do with them; they will transport me if they are-
found."—The investigation was adjourned, and-the prisoner re-
manded until a future day.
Yesterday Mary Ann Middleton was again placed'at the bar,
-and after the witness Mary Baxter, had identified a variety of-
articles which she had seen at the residence of the deceased,
'Mr. Bodkin, addressing Sir F. Roe, stated, that Since the former
,examination some circumstances had been communicated to
him, which, he had great reason to believe; would-give a different
-complexion to the transaction to what he had-before expected.
'He felt it to be his duty to give these facts every consideration,
and he therefore requested that the prisoner might be again re.
ananded for.a few days, in order that he might make the neces-
sary inquiries, and communicate with the partiel interested.
Mr. Clarkson observed that he had produced tibme documents-
to Mr. Bodkin, which he was satisfied would shoiv the matter in
an entirely different point of view with regard tO the acts of the
-deceased. He was sure the course which had been adopted by
-the solicitor for the prosecution was a mistaken One.
Sir F. Roe said he had no objection to postpone the further
investigation; and the prisoner was remanded.
The -following is a copy of one of the documents alluded to,
which-was handed to the magistrate. The original; which is
believed to he in the hand-writing of the deceased,- was found-
' among the writings of Mr. Cochrane, and bore data nine:days.

" PETER COCHRANE."
[lt would appear that the answer which was sent in tb the bill'
in Chancery was transmitted in a great hurry, the prisoner being
at the time actually in custody for an alleged contelnpt of court,
in neglecting to send in her answer in proper tune. Every
article, however, it was stated, was enumerated-in it which re-
mained in the prisoner's possession in Percival-street, or at
Kino.ston, and a distinguishing man k was placed opposite to each
which was claimed by the prisoner. In her- answer;-however',-
she objected to give any description of the property which she hail,
not in her possession at that time, as she was called upon to do.
It was not until-afterv.ards that she engaged her present solici-•
tor, Mr. Reeve' (of the firm of Bowden and Reeve, of Alder.'

A NEAT Puese..Mrs. O'Dogherty, a genuine snipe-nosed
Irishwoinan, and possessing a mouth of unexceptionable capa-
city, appeared to lay a complaint against John •M‘Malion, her
brother-in-law, and who also bore evident marks of importation
from " the sisther counthiy:" Mrs. O'Dogherty said : Last
Thursday mornin' shure I wint to buy a pennotli o' herrings,
an' I left this man to take care o' the house, (he loclishes' wid
me, yer honor,) an' I left my little gurl wid 'im. When I
come back about an hour either, I find 'im gone, an' shore all
my bits o' things gone wid 'im.—The Magistrate : Did you see
him take them?—Complainant: No, shure; but Ivan swear to
the shurt on 'im : it's but a poor one that it is, musha, but it
was among the other things. An' there was a purse, sur, which
I made ov a white stucken wid tearing the top of, which the
genti'man as was the policeman took on 'im. It had half-a-
crown in when he sthole it, which was all I was misthress ov,
dear, an' my husband away up the couutbry this fortnight.—
The Magistrate: You left no grown up person in the house
with him?—Complainant: No, shure, none but me own little
gurl as is five years old.—The Magistrate: Well, that is not
grown up.—Sayers deposed to taking the prisoner into custody,
and finding part of a stocking on his person (producing an old
stocking foot which had once been white.) —Complainant:
Ogh, that's my purse, that's my stucken, an' the half-crown
was jilt in the toes, sur.—How can yon identify that stocking?'
—Complainant: Oh, shure, isn't it the top my little- gust's
wearin' at home, which matches it.—The Magistrate: How
much is What you have lost worth?—Complainant: Niue °sten
shillins 'ud be very rasonable for 'em.—Sayers did not think
they were worth twopence.—Prisoner said he had got a penny
about 'im, an' he knew nothin' at all about the robbery. He
was remanded till Monday.
'CUSTOMS INFORMATION.—Mr, Brooks appeared on behalf of
th• customs to support an inforniation laid against Mr. George
Godbeat, linen-draper and tailor, of Park-lane, charging him
with having a quantity of tobacco concealed on his premises
Without a permit, for which treble the value was sought as pe-
nalty; amounting to £32. 15s. 6d.—Mr. Young, tide-surveyor of
the customs, deposed that on the 15th of January he went,
along with some other officers, to Mr. Godbear's shop in Park-
lane. Thersearched the premises, and found sixteen papers of
foreign manufactured tobacco ; there was also a small quantity
which had a permit with it, which they did not seize. Mr. God-
bear said he knew what the consequences would be, and hoped
they would not expose him. The tobacco seized weighed '23
i lbs.—Cross-examined by Mr. Yates on behalf of the detendant:
Mr. Godbear did not attempt any concealment. The tobacco
was found on a shelf in a back room covered with clothes. He
could not have taken it from that which bore the permit, because
the tobacco found had the foreign mark onit.—.l. Loek, deputy
warehouse-keeper of the customs, J. Davison and Harper the
police-officers, deposed to defendant saying he wished he had'
never seen the tobacco; and that he had hadfit in his house two
years.—Mr. James Blundell, tobacconists of Tithebarn-street,•
deposed to the tobacco being worth without the duty 6d. a lb.
It was foreign tobacco. The duty was 9s. a lb. There were'
23 lbs., of it, which made at treble the amount of the penalty
£33. 15s.—Mr. Yates, in defence, said that Mr. Godbear was a
highly respectable tailor and draper, and, his business lying
amongst seamen, they left their tobacco there when they order-
ed their fresh clothing till they returned, conceiving they had a
right to it, and he allowed them to leave it there in preference
to their taking it to lodging-houses, where they got robbed of it,
which he would call witnesses to prove.—The Magistrate: That
is to prove that the defendant allows sailors to smuggle their
tobacco on shore. It is your duty to show: that the duty is paid.
—Mr. Yates would not in that case call his witnesses, but, as it
was a first offence, he thought it was a case for mitigation.—The
Magistrate: We convict him in treble the value. We must
not be called on to represent cases to the Board of Customs
for mitigation when we are not justified in doing it. According
to your statement, it is a systematic thing. Whenever there
are cases where we can exercise our discretion, we shall be very
happy to do it; but we must not do it as a mere matter of course.
SEAMEN'S WAGES.—Capt. Evan Evans of the ship' Rookery
appeared to a summons issued by John Dolman, who had acted
as his chief mate, and who claimed £l9. 2s. 10d. as a balance of
wages dtip to him, which his captain refused to pay. Mr. Jones
appeared to support the
.complaint. Dolman deposed that he
had shipped as chief mate on board the Rookery at a salary of
£5 a month. He shipped on the 9th of July, 1835, and arrived
on the 21st of January last. He had received £l2. 145., which
left a balance due to him of £l9. 2s. I(3(ll—Captain Evans de-
posed that Dolinan had filled the situation of chief mate for a
voyage to Jampica at £5 a month, but that he was so di unken
a fellow that at the expiration of three months and four days he
gaVe him the option of leaving the shiper going before the mast.'
He had chosen to remain as a common sailor at a salary of
£2. 10s. a month for the remainder of the voyage. Through
his negligence he had lost two firkins of butter and a box of
soap, for which he was responsible, and which had to be de-
ducted from his wages. There was £5. Bs. for the butter and
£l. 19s. 2d. fur the soap which were lost to be deducted from his
wages. The complainant had signed his name to two bills for
these sums, Which the captain handed in.—Dolman said he had
wished to be discharged in Jamaica while there were vessels iu
the port, but the captain would not let him; and as soon as the
vessels were gone, and he had no chance of getting, away, the
captain said he might leave the vessel or return as a common
sailor, and that he was forced to sign the bills.—The captain
said the mate was regularly drunk when left in charge of the
ship, and that lie was obliged to turn him out of-the situation.
He gave him the Option of leaving the ship or returning before.
the-mast, and he chose the latter. His wages as mate atrionnt-
ed to £l5. 13s. 4d., and as a sailor to £B. 56., and, deducting
what he had received and the losses, for whichilie was respousible
it left him a balance ()Wing of £s.l2i.•fid.::-•Tice magistrate,
the documents to which the complainant had signed his name-
were rime facie evidence against him. For these sums he had
not elven credit; and, if he found a man dishonest in one part
of his statement, he must doubt the rest. He must award that
the sum due to him was a balance said to be due of £5. 12s. 6d.,
which sum the captain must pay.
MONDAY.—(Before THOS. JAMES HALL, Esq., the Magistrate.)
BEGGI:NG.—Nugent Doherty was brought up charged
.by
Batchelder with presenting a begging letter in Carson-street to
various persons, add annoying them. The letter was a petition
setting forth that he had received a' severe accident disabling
him from work, and purported to be signed by many of the mer-
chants of the town. Mr. Parlour said he had ascertained that
the signatures were not correct. The magistrate said that the
prisoner vial imposing on the public by carrying such a docu-
ment as that. He should give him fair notice that, if he did it
again, he should send him to the House of Correction. The
prisoner, on his promise not to offend again, was discharged.
INGNNtous FRsue.—Mr. Rowlandson appeared to complaiu
against a lad who had formerly been in his employment as er-
rand boy, for defrauding him and the postoffice at various times
of small amounts for postages. It, appeared that the prisoner
had got to know the errand lad of Mr. Bird, and had learnt from
him the number of his master's box. When in Mr. Rowland-
son's employment, he had gone for the letters; and now that he
was discharged he had at various times applied for the letters
and obtained them, and had afterwards represented himself as
Mr. Bird's boy, and had said that the letter (Presenting one)
Was found in Mr. Bird's number; and the clerk of the post-
office, seeing, the letter not be Mr. Bird's, hid paid hill
the_postage. This was the only case established; but there was
little doubt but that he had played the same trick on all the
surrounding boxes of Mr. RowlandSori. Some of the letters he
had brought to Mr. Rowlandson, representing himself as in the
employment of another party; arm that the letter which he
brought had been found in their box. He bad at various times
received small amounts of postage in this manner, and some-
times their letters had been delayed four or five days In conse-
quence. Several witnesses were called; amongst others on.
of the clerks of the postoffice deposed to having received
one of Mr. Rowlandson's letters, which was produced, as
above stated, from a boy, who said that it vas in box G 56:
be saw the letter did not belong to that box, and returned the
postage. He could not swear to the prisoner.—The magistrate
severely reprimanded the prisoner. Thoug 1, the sum was not
large, it was a system which was attended with very great dan-
ger to. the Post-office. A very little more evidence would have
induced him to commit him to take his trial Though the sum
was small, it was a very important question. If brought there
'gain, it would go very hard with him; he might be transported.
He was discharged.
