F. Synge, of the Foreign Office. The evidence in the first ease was that up to the end of 1882 the prisoner wan in Dr. Killian'e service an footman. During the night of May 25 the doctor'. premises were entered by his consulting-roeas window, and drawers, cupboards, and an iron nate were broken open, and the articles mentioned in the charge abatracted. SeetirtatiOne by the detective farce led to the appre. hension of the prisoner at Knightsbridge, and the recovery of most of the atolen property.—Detectivesergeant Withers now informed the magistrate that after the remand, and while in the cell the prisoner informed him as nowhere a considerable amount of the property would be found. Several witnesses were then called to whom the prisoner had given some of the valuable article., and a working jeweller, who said he had bought several articles—a silver snuff-box and five gold pins for 15a., the former originally having cost, the prosecutor said, between £3 and £l—was informed by the magistrate that after having admitted giving so small atom of money fez each valuable articles his expenses would be disallowed. In the second new against the prisoner Mr. Robert Follett Synge, of 7,Chester-square, identified the property produced, which he said was taken from the dressing room of his house during the night of July 15, together with the other articles and money. The house was entered during the night —not broken into. The prisoner vas a stranger to him. The evidenee of the servants was to the effect that the house was securely fastened up shortly after ten o'clock on the night of July 15, and that on the following morning, when the rook went down from her bedroom about seven o'clock, eke saw the figure of a man lying on the dining.room floor. She went upstairs and informed the housemaid, but when they both eame down together the man lard made his escape. The window ahutters in the dining and drawing rooms had all been opened, and in the front hall was a portmanteau and hat-box, fully packed with clothes, champagne from the cellar, and a valuable diver box, all ready to be carried away. The prisoner had not been to the home on the night previous to the robbery. Mr. Synge strbsequently informed the magistrate that the prisoner had been in the house several times, as he wan a friend of a bey who was formerly in his service. He had no idea how bit premises were entered, as there was not the least trace of a forcible entry anywhere. Detectivewrgeant Withers deposed that when he arrested the primoiler 00th. former charge, he found upon him and at hie lodgings several articles belonging to Mr. Synge. The prisoner, who had nothing to say In his defense, was committed for trial on both changes.  Numn EDDA'S BABY Soo-ruse I. unequalled In raneeing Infanta from Gripes, Wind, Colic.
