THv WAY A LAWYER CoNyIcTsD HIS CLIENT IN
the CoURT OF SPECIAL SEssIoSs-"H was an ar
"raigncd criminal said gentleman in the Court of
Special Sessions the other day 81 would never EN-
"poy lawyer, because should surely be convicted
A yerifcatiou of this remark actually occurred in
Court last week, in the following manner:
spruce-looking young fellow was placed at the
bar upon charge of picking womans pocket in the
street. When asked by the Clerk whether he was
guilty or not, he replied in the negative. The com
panaut was then called to the stand to give her test
mony. She stated that the rascal came by her side
and immediately altcrward she missed her property
The woman was however, confused, and did not make
strong against the pickpocket. At this stage of
the proceedings the counsel for the prisoner cross
questioned the woman. Says he, MADAM, did you
feel him alongside Of your pocket" Yes, Sir, she
replied. did you get your money back p he con-
tinucd 81 did, she quickly answered, "the police
man searched him and found it in his pocket This
evidence was conclusive. The lawyer felt fiat, and
merely said "That will do lie seemed to be satis-
fed that the case was against him. The magistrate
sentenced tne prisoner term in the Pententiary at
Blackwels Island. II was evident the spectators
in Court that the alton of the witness had
been the means of cOndemning the pickpocket and
the laugh at the expense of the Shyster was rather
pleasant to hear.

NiBLo's GARDKS.-AnOiber beautiful pantomime,
invented and arranged by jerome Rave has been rs
Gently produced at this house II is entitled Bianco;
or. The Magic Sword " and is full Of beautiful scenes
and surprising mechanical effects The tricks are ali
Of more than usual excellence and are enough to
set the Oldest and wisest heads well as those of the
Children wandering Such trihes as cutting of heads
ripping people open, shooting men to pieces and
baking them in ovens, are performed by the Ravels
without the slightest injury to the victims, who inva-
nably appear in two or three minutes Iveier
and fuller Of mischief than ever Numbers
of these maryels performed in the new
piece, which keeps the audience in a constant state
of wOnderment as to what viii happen next. Quite
little menagere Of cats rats and HOLSTERS is also intro
duced, and these amiabe animals amuse themselves
by deyouring each other in the most natural and
negbOrly way imaginable. BiancO is as full of fun as
any one can reasonably ask beside having plentiful
uciency Of the startling and supernatural to satisfy
those who are fond Of the demons and red FIRE.
Antoine plays speaking part, which is novelty,
if it ia not oil Improvement. Altogether, the piece has
thus far proved amazingly successful. and seems
likely to have a long run.

of the dogfghters in Madison street. All Of the per-
sons including the PROJECTORS of the house and the

OF SrFALING.-Some time ago the firm of Converse,
Todd & Co. doing business at No IL Liberty street,
noticed a visible decrease in their silks and from the
fact Of having sold lately thought strange Of the
matter, and began 10 suspect that all not right.
After considering the matter for while and making
inquiries Of their clerks to parties that had recently
been in the store for the purpose OF making purchases
suspicion finally rested upon three German women
who had on two occasions visited the establishment
and whose actions had been remarked as rather SIM
gular Their whereabouts being unknown, of course
nothing could be done in the matter, but the clerks
were instructed to watch for them, and should they
come TO the store again notice their every movement
and action.
Yesterday afternoon three well.dressed women, ac-
companed by mid aed man, also well dressed, en-
tered the store and proceeded TO examine the silks
They were Immediately recognized and watch forth
with set npon their actions. While one OF the party
was examining some goods, the book-keeper, Mr..
Carhart. and Thos Kehoe, a clerk, who were hidden
from view in the window, one OF the women very
cautiously suling lot Of fine pongee handkerchieis
in a pocket in her dress. The watch was stu con-
tinued and without alarming the party Officer Met
calf Of the Third Ward was called IN. and upon the
complaint Of the firm the man and women were ar
rested In order that there might not be mistake in
the matter, the woman who was seen to pocket the
handkerchief was examined when from capacious
bag or pocket under her dress brought forth ten
pieces Of pongee handkerchefs valued at about so.
Upon raising the shawl of of the Others piece of
silk valued at S75 was found under her arm.
The accused were taken before Justice Connolly
where they gave their names Carl Miller, Catherine
Miller wife of Carl, Eliza Meyer and Mary lieine.
Upon the afldayits of John +. Bgley and the te'-
timony of one of the clerks, the accused com
mitted to prison in default of 81 900 bail each.
Justice Connolly says that Mary Heine is an old Of
fender aud well known to the police.
