Gayon agreed to forgive him for taking away some pieces
of mouldings to make up into frames at his own house.
He was fined 205., or one month in default.

EXTENSIVE LITIGATION.—Joshua Kidd, a respectably-
attired man, was charged with breaking open a house im
Denison-street, kept by Thomas Ellis, and taking away
the whole of the furniture. Mr. Blackhurst, solicitor=
appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Hughes for the
defence. Mr. Nicholls, presiding magistrate, said the

su ILI Clll-Cfrli as a suspicion ot stealing wearing"
apparel, and the parties had better confine themselves to
that charge. It appeared that there had already been ars
action in the county court, and a charge had also beers
heard before Mr. Mansfield, whichl was dismissed. Mr.
Clough said, in explanation, t-

A STRAGGLING BURGLAR.—John Riley, a dingy-look—
ing fellow, was charged with being found secreted in the
cellar of Mr. Israel Samuel, general dealer, Great
Howard-street, in the middle of Saturday night, after the.
family had retired to rest. A quantity of articles, packed
up ready for removal, were found in a bundle near the
prisoner, when Mr. Samuel and a policeman apprehended
him. The prisoner, with great composure, assured the
magistrate that he had been drinking "heavy," and holy
he managed to straggle into that place he could not tell'
The defence was so extraordinary that the prisoner was
committed for trial.

Uunious CASE.—Mrs. Mary Ann hitehenman, owner
of a house in Clare-street, was charged by Rose Williams
her tenant, with taking a gold watch from the house,
.• • I

which she had no right to take away. Mr. Hughes ap-
peared for the defence, and elicited that the house was
one of questionable character, and a distraint had been
put in for rent ; it was admitted that the landlady took
the watch, for the purpose of paying the barlifk.
A. Fernham, a young lady better known-by the cogua—
men of " Topsy," was called to giv^ - the

e evidence, Mi. At
nature of her testimony was unimportant; and it ap-
peared that the watch had been pledged by Mrs. Kitch-
enman for 20s. The magistrate decided that she had not,
right to take the watch, and she was ordered to pay 205..
for the pledge, together with a fine of 20s. and costs.
ROBBING AN EMIGRANT.—Ann Wilson was charge&
with stealing £9 Bs. 6d. from the pocket of James Adam-
son, who has lately arrived from Hamburgh, and is about
to sail for America. She was sentenced to be imprisoned-
for two months.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-FILIDAY

Nothing done to call for any remarks beyond the quo-
tations. Heapy for the Ebor still remains a mystery, bug
he is as freely laid against as any of the other favourites'.
Merry Bird and Amalgamation were the most in request
amongst the outsiders. The York events this year excite
very little interest here.—The disappearance of King Tours
and the rapid rise of Knight of St. George, are the only
features that require any notice for the St. Leger. The
former appears by the betting to be entirely gone, and the
other has as rapidly risen in favour.—The Leamington
Stakes was,introduced to-day, and has every appearance of
becoming a great betting race, all the horses quoted being,
backed freely. Latest prices :
