The Bermondsey Murder. On Monday Another...
THE BERMONDSEY MURDER . On Monday another important link to the evidence connecting the Mannings with the murder of V Connor was discovered . It was well known that on Saturday the 11 th of August Mrs . Manning hired a female to clean the lower part of the house , No . * f , Minver-place ; but although everv exertion has been made by the police to discover the partv they "fere unable until Monday , when Burton , after considerable difficulty ascertained that a young girl was in the habit of attending several of the houses in the vicinity for the purpose of washing the steps , and assisting the servants . He also Iteard from a neighbour that she was seen to enter Manning ' s at an early hour on Saturday morning . He accordingly made active inquiries about her , and succeeded
in finding her residing with her relations in Bermondsey . Her name is Harriet Fermer , and she informed the authorities that about nine o ' clock on Saturday morning , the 11 th of August , Mrs . Manning called her into No . 3 , Minver-place , and engaged her to clean the house . She cleaned the upper part , and found several spots like blood on the wall ofthe passage leading to the kitchen , which she endeavoured to wash off . After she had cleaned that portion ofthe place she proceeded to the back fcitchen , and was about to clean it , when Mrs . Manning came up to her and pulled her away , exclaiming , "I cleaned this place yesterday , and it don ' t "want scrubbing any more . " The girl says she saw a square basket in the back kitchen , covered with 3 ime , which Mrs . Manning told her to wash . While ahe was performing that office she found that there vas not water sufficient , consequently she left it as
discovered by Burton . During the time she was in the house that day Mrs . Manning went out two or three times , and about twelve o ' clock at noon Manning came down stairs , and stamped his foot " violently as if in a passion . Ho called out to his " wife , " Give it me directly , " and she went up stairs , and she could not tefl what afterwards passed . Manning remained in tlie house while his wife returned to the back kitchen and fried some beefsteaks for dinner . The girl said that the back iitchen was extremely wet , and the stones in the hack kitchen appeared to have been recently rubbed with a brick or stone . She also found that the dusthole was full of mould , dirt , and some mortar mixed ¦ with it . The girl was taken to the Dome-office by the police , to make her statement to the solicitor of the Treasury . Her evidence "willbe g iven on Saturday , the next examination .
The cholera has suddenly attacked some of the witnesses since the last examination . Mr . Bassett , clerk to Messrs . Killick and Co ., sharebrokers , Bank-buildings , to -whom Manning disposed of O'Connor ' s Eastern Counties shares , was suddenly attacked on Friday night with cholera , and expired on Saturday morning . His corpse was interred on Sunday . Mr . Hammond was also attacked on Sunday , and is not expected to live . Both gentlemen were in good health and spirits on Friday , the 7 th inst ., when at the police court .
It has been ascertained when O'Connor left bis lodgings on the morning of the 9 th of August he had nearly a new suit of clothes on , a valuable ¦ watch and chain , aud a considerable sum in his possession . Although every search has been made for the murdered man ' s clothing by the police in the house , No . 3 , Minver-plaee , and in the prisoner ' s hoxes , no portion of them could be discovered . It was clear they had not been burned , as no ashes of linen or cloth were seen among the dirt ,
consequently the police have made active inquiries among the clothes dealers , and on Tuesday they ascertained that a man fully answering the description of Manning offered several articles of clothing of a superior description for sale to several dealers in Pctticoat-lme on the Monday after the murder . The police arc now making very active inquiries about the clothes , and from information received there is every reason to suppose that they will be found , and that the purchaser will come forward and identify Manning as the party who sold them .
EXAMINATION OF MB . AND MRS . MANNING
( From our Third Edition oj lost week . ) FRIDAY . The examination of the Mannings was resumed at the Sonthwark Police-court at eleven o ' clock . The court was not nearly so crowded as on the previous day . Mr .

Among the things brought to her house from Minvcr-placc were some articles of female dress . Witness gave two dresses and a pair of stockings to policeman Burton . One of the dresses appeared as if it had been washed out hurriedly , and had been put to the fire and scorched and then , having been put away before it was dry , it had mildewed . { Burton produced the dress , which was identified by the -witness . ) William Kink , a cab-driver , No . -MS , proved laving been hired by Mrs .

Middlesex Sessions. Tcesrut.—The Septemb...
MIDDLESEX SESSIONS . TcEsruT . —The September general session ofthe peace for the county of Middlesex commenced yesterday morning at Clerkenwell . There was the average number of prisoners for trial viz ., 80 ; including four cases of misdemeanour . On the list of jurors being called over , a number of excuses were made on behalf of persons who had been summoned to attend , but who were unable to do so in consequence of being attacked by the prevailing ep idemic . One of the overseers ofthe poor for the parish of St . Luke ' s was summoned , but on his mentioning to the court that at the present time his parochial duties were very onerous , and his time almost entirely occupied , on account of the cholera , the
learned chairman directed that his services as juror should be dispensed with . Extkxsive Bobber t . —William Johnson , a desperate looking fellow , was indicted for stealing 113 pieces of cotton print * the property of Mr . Hugh Phillips , draper , 61 , Marylebone-lane . — Police Sergeant 7 D , on the 26 th August , was proceeding along one of the streets leading out of Ox ford-street , when he met the prisoner carrying a large quantity of cotton print upon his shoulder , and entertaining some suspicion as to the mode in which he got possession , he asked him where he was going to ? He replied that he did not know , but that answer did not satisfy the officer , who asked him where he had got the print from . The prisoner , thereupon ,
told the usual tbief s story—that he had been employed to carry it by a man who had promised him sixpence for his trouble . Of course he did not know the man , or who or where he was , nor could he tell where he was to carry it to ; so the officer took him to the station house , where information had already arrived that a quantity of print had been stolen from Mr . Phillips ' , in Marylebone-lane . That circumstanceaccounted fully for the prisoner ' s possession of the property . —The jury found the prisoner " Guilty , and the court sentenced him to three months' hard labour . Robbert of Jewellery . —William Smith , was indicted for having stolen a gold ring , the property of George William Tyler . —The prosecutor , it
appeared , was a jeweller carrying on business in Highstreet , Caraden-town . In front of his shop window there was a glass case , in which were exhibited specimens of his stock in trade ; and in consequence of a number of articles of jewellery having been missed therefrom , he kept a strict watch upon it . On the day named in the indictment he observed the prisoner walk up to the case and knock away a small piece of wood which had been placed over an aperture in the glass , made on the preceding day by somebody who managed to get a couple of rings through it without observation . The prisoner then walked on a short distance , and in a few minutes he again appeared at the case , and leaning forward he pretended to be attentively looking at the articles
it contained . Tbe prosecutor distinctly observed him take a piece of wire , hooked at the end , out of his jacket sleeve , pass it through the broken square , and pull out a gold ring . The prosecutor pimped across the counter and seized the prisoner as he was walking off , but not before the latter bad effectually disposed of the ring , for it had not been found . The prisoner resisted—fought , and bit the prosecutor , and succeeded in twisting himself out of lus grasp , but he was again captured , and very shortly afterwards he was safely lodged at the police station . The wire was found close by the case . —The prisoner had nothing to say in his defence , and the jury found him " Guilty . "—Sentenced to three months' hard labour . Pickixo Pockets . —William Flottery and William Jones , both sixteen years of ago , and distinguished from tho general mass of youths indicted iTere for
picking pockets , by being described in the calendar as able to read and write , were convicted of attempting to steal a pocket handkerchief from the person of James Pidgeon , on the pier of the halfpenny steam-boats , at Ivy-bridge-lane , Adelphi . The prisoners , as well as the prosecutor , were passengers by the boat from London-bridge pier , and the boys were both seen trying Mr . Pidgeon ' s pocket , and one of them drew out the handkerchief and gave it to the other , who immediately concealed it between his legs . Flottery , however , now denied that he had any participation in the theft , and protested that he had never committed a dishonest act in his life . Jones said it was his first offence . He did not put his hand into the pocket , but the handkerchief was hanging out . —The chairman sentenced them to he imprisoned each six months' and kept to hard labour .
WEnxEsoAY . —Robbert . —Anthony Bickmore , a stableman , was indicted for having stolen a watch , value £ 8 ., the property of James Branch , from his person . —Mi-. Payne appeared for the prosecution ; Mi * . Prendergast for the prisoner . —It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor , a baker , resitting at No . 9 , Union-street , City-road , and George Blackett , brass finisher , of 31 , Henry-street , Harapstead-road , that on the evening of the 28 th of Aug . the former was drinking at the Marquess of Cornwall , puW / c-lrouse , in Warren-street , Fitzroysquarc . The " prisoner was there too , and having got prosecutor into conversation , they tossed for some gin , but the prosecutor , who lost , refused to pay , alleging that he had no money about him . The
prisoner , however , insisted upon his paying , as he had just before changed a £ 5 note , and after some rough words had passed they came to blows . A reconciliation , however , took place upon the interposition of some women who seemed attached to the prosecutor ' s society , and the prosecutor left the house , between eleven and twelve o ' clock at night , leaning upon the prisoner ' s arm . When in Southamptonstreet another altercation took place about the gin , and the prisoner said he would beat in tho prosecutor ' s hcadunlesshepaid for it at once . The prosecutor again said that he had no money , upon which the prisoner said he would sound his pockets ,
and hi doing so , he took the prosecutor ' s watch from his waistcoat pocket , gave him a tremendous blow on the face , broke the guard-chain by a sudden jerk , and ran off with the watch . Blackett saw all this , and ran after the prisoner . He caught him about 100 yards off , when he threw down the watch , and again got away . He was again captured in a few minutes , and handed over to Police-constable Williams , 152 E . The watch was now produced , aud identified by the prosecttor . —Tlie jury found the prisoner " Guilty , " but recommended him to mercy on account of his previous good character . Sentenced to hard labour for three calendar months ' .

The Charge Of Bigamy Against Lola Monies...
THE CHARGE OF BIGAMY AGAINST LOLA MONIES . Marlboeocoh-s treet . —The court and the space before it were densely crowded , in anticipation of the appear ance ofthe Countess of Landsfeldt ( Lola Montes , ) in person , to meet the charge against her of having illegally intermarried with Mi . Heald , sho not having been fully divorced from her first husband , Captain James . At about a quarter past two o ' clock Mr . Clarkson , who . is retained for . the prosecution , entered the court , but no one on tho part of the defendant was there professionally to meet him . Mr . Cukkso . v , addressing Mr . Hardwick , said he was there as the legal rcpresentavive of Miss Heald , in the expectation , according to the nature ofthe communication recently made to him , that the Countess of Landsfeldt , Mrs . Jamesor by whatever
, name the lady might be known , would be in attendance in that court to meet the charge against her . The lady , he understood , had arrived in town on Friday last , for the purpose of protecting her bail , he was now prepared to advance tho evidence he had already offered one stage further against the Countess of Landsfeldt , and bethought it but fair to state that he was now in a situation to show , instead of six weeks from the time the last marriage was contracted Captain James was alive in India , that Captain James was alive within six days of that period . He was also in a condition to establish , by the evidence of a copy of the register of the first marriage in Ireland , the fact of the marriage with Captain James . It had however , been intimated to him , that no opposition would be made to tho appearance ofthe Countess of Landsfeldt at that court
on Wednesday next ; but whether it was on account ofthe thronged appearance which . the court and its approaches now presented , or whether it was to avoid further publicity , it was clear that neither the Countess of Landsfeldt nor her representative was in attendance to meet the charge . The recognizances expired that day , and he begged it might be clearly understood he was there to call for the enforcement of the recognizances , the object of that enforcement being to have the appearance in court of the party accused . If , however , tho bench thought it right to extend a further indulgence to the bail , he should offer no objection . Mr . Hakbwick inquired if any one were present on the part of the defendant to ask for a further respite of the recognizances ? Mr . Clarksos said he understood the solicitor of
Mr . Heald was present . The solicitor came forward , and said , though he was not acting for the Countess of Landsfeldt , he was able to say that the arrival of the Countess in town last week had not been expected ; that her legal adviser was out of town at the time ; and that the arrangement for a postponement until Wednesday had been made on a sudden . After some further consideration the case was adjourned until Wednesday . WEnsEbDAY . —At two o ' clock precisely Mr . Clarkson entered the office and said he had received information of what he had , already bad some reason to believe—namely , that the person called Mrs . James , who was charged at the instance of Miss Heald with the felonious offence of bigamy ,
would not appear that day , and did not intend , to appear . The magistrate had been kind enough to inform him that he had received an intimation to that effect from Mrs . James ' s solicitor . It therefore became his ( Mr . Clarkson ' s ) unpleasing duty to apply to the magistrate to estreat the recognisances . He wished , however , to say one word more , in consequence of a rumour that these proceedings wore instituted on the part of Miss Heald , not substantially but with a view , which , indeed , was rather confirmed by the arrival of Mrs . James on Friday last under the pretence of undergoing examination , of effecting a compromise . On tlie part of the sister of the father of this deluded young man , he besged to say there was no foundation whatever for such rumour , and his first proof that there was not
might be seen , in the fact , of his now praying that the bail mig ht be estreated . Miss Heald had been , from tho commencement , and still was , actuated by the purest motives—motives which he was sure would be sanctioned by the magistrate and by every person of proper feeling , that of rescuing the son of her beloved brother from a marriage which was eqUally illegal and disgraceful ; and if sho wished hereafter to enforce proceedings which would have the effect of breaking it when further information from India should arrive bringing the intelligence that Mr . James wasalive when the marriage took place , the magistrate , and ho ( Mr . Clarkson | , and all persons of good feeling , must rejoice if Miss Heald should succeed in rescuing this young man from the fangs of this woman . It only remained for him to call upon the magistrate to estreat the
recognisances . Mr . Haubwick . —Under these circumstances I order the recognisances to be estreated . Long before Mr . Clarkson arrived it was reported that Lola Montes and Mr . Heald had left London . for Paris on Sunday last .

Cockayne , who for many years has held the situation of master at the Brompton Grammar School , was charged with having committed an indecent assault upon Police-constable Angell , 255 S . —Mr . Steele attended for the prisoner , many of whose friends , highly respectable persons , were present in ' court . The hearing occupied the attention of the magistrate more than an hour and a half . Mr . Steele cross-examined the complainant at some length , and contended that the conduct of the complainant throughout was such as ought not to entitle him to any degree of credit . —Mr . Broiighton , after carefully reviewing the whole of the evidence adduced , came to the conclusion that the case was one which
he must send before a jury , and Upon being applied to with respect to bail , said he would take the prisoner ' s own recognisance in £ 300 , and two sureties in £ 200 each for his being forthcoming on Monday next . —The required recognisances were entered into , and the prisoner was liberated . Railway Robbery . —John Killor / in , a private in the Royal Marines , stationed at Woolwich , and who was absent from the regiment upon furlough , was brought up at the instance of Mr .

Palmer , a commercial traveller , residing at Leeds , deposed that on the previous evening he
repaired to the Euston station in order to return home by the mail train : he deposited his' luggage , consisting of two boxes and a carpet bag , within the porch ofthe office , and he then went to the cloak room for another parcel , which had been left there for him by a friend : he' was absent for about a quarter of an hour , and on his return he missed his carpet bag , in which wero numerous articles of wearing apparel , die . —King , a railway constablc , - No . 131 , stated that in consequence , of information which had been communicated to liiin relative to the robbery , and having ascertained upon inquiry that a soldier had been seen to leave the premises with a carpet bag , witness went in quest of him , arid found him in the area-of tho Globe bookshop , at a short distance from the station ; he was sitting in a dark spot , having between his legs the said bag which he was attempting to break open ; ho was then taken into custody , and conveyed in the first
instance to Mr . Barker , by whose directions he was subsequently removed to and locked up in Albanystreet station-house : he told witness that ho had lost his own " kit , " and that he was , therefore , determined to lay hold of something else in its place ; he saw the bag lying down , and picked it up and- walked away with it . Witness added the prisoner was very drunk . The carpet bag was produced , as also the contents , which we re identified by the prosecutor . —The magistrate was of opinion , taking all the circumstances irito consideration , it was , perhaps , unlikely that a jury would convict in the event of the prisoner being sent to trial . —Mr . Barker remarked , that tho company had now two actions pending against them in regard to property abstracted from their premises b y means of a similar . nature . The magistrate made some further remarks in reference to the case , and the prisoner was remanded till Monday next . "

and the examination of tho prisoner on the charge at this court in the newspapers , and having little doubt the parties wero the same , ho felt it to be his duty to come forward as a witness—Mr . Norton observed that tho witness had acted a very proper part in the matter , and if the police-eonstable ( Scott ) had only performed his duty with equal propriety , the robbery might havo been prevented . The case was one which required the tact and vigilance of one ofthe " detectives" to bring forward thenecessary testimony to complete it , and ho should , therefore , remand the prisoners to another day , in order that an experienced officer mig ht be employed in the case . The magistrate directed that the landlord of tho Waterman ' s Arms , and also the constable
Scott , should bo in attendance at the next examination . —The prisoners were accordingly remanded , and bail for their appearance refused , CLERKENWELL . — Impudent Swindling . — William Grindley , a young man , who said he was tlie son of Captain Grindley , of tho 40 th Light Infantry , was charged by Mr . Isaac Jacobson , jeweller , of Oxford-street , with stealing a valuable dressing-case . —On Monday morning , about a quarter to ten o ' clock , tho prisoner entered the shop of the prosecutor , and requested tho shopman to show him a dressing-case , lie produced several , which the prisoner carefully inspected ; when he said they were too inferior in quality . The shopman then told him that he had some silver dressing-eases , and produced
one ; on examining which , the prisoner said it would exactly suit , representing that he was a dealer , and ho was anxious to show it to a gentleman on approval . The prisoner said that the gentleman resided at North Bank , and willingly assented to the shopman going with him . They crossed the Regent ' s Park together , until they arrived at North Bank , where a board was stuck up at 35 , North Bank , with an inscription that tho house was " to let . ' The prisoner then told the shopman that the gentleman who had deputed him to procure him the dressing-case was going to the continent , and was about to let the house , and requested him ( the shopman ) to lot him havo the desk to show and to wait outside whilst he ( prisoner ) took it in to show the
gentleman . The shopman unsuspectingly parted with the dressing-case , and the prisoner rang the bell , and the door having been opened by a female servant , he entered with the property . The shopman waited for a short time , and on peeping into tho parlour window , he found the p lace destitute of furniture : and , his suspicion being aroused , he rang the bell , which was answered by an elderly woman , and , on making inquiries , was informed that the man had entered the house to request permission to get over the wall at the back part of the house , saying that he had lost a key belonging to a desk which he had in his possession . Witness saw no more ofthe prisoner or the property until he was
in custody . On the same torenoon , between eleven and twelve o ' clock , tho prisoner offered the desk in pledge at Mr . Redpath ' s , pawnbroker , in Seymourstreet , Euston-square , for £ 5 but , being suspected , he . was questioned as to whether it was his own property . He said he had been sent with it by Mr . George Fletcher , cheese-merchant , of Goodge-street Tottenham-couvt-road ; the shopman to the pawnbroker spoke to a policeman and said he would go with the prisoner to Mr . Fletcher ' s , but on the road he called the policeman whom he saw following them , and gave himself into his custody , and in the station-house he gave his name William Edwards , but when at the bar of this court William Grindley . —The prisoner was asked what he had to say . —He denied any dishonest intention , begging of Mr . Combe not td send him to prison . He was the son of Captain Grindley , who served in the 40 th Light Infantry with Colonel Chesterton , the governor of
thollouse of Correction , with whom he was on intimate and visiting terms . He was also the friend of Lieutenant Tracey , the governor of Tothill-fields Prison , the Governor of Hie House of Detention , and many persons of distinction , and he did not wish to be disgraced by being incarcerated in prison on : a charge of felony . — Mr . Combe , however , remanded him until the pawnbroker and other necessary evidence could bo produced ; and , on being placed at the bar on Tuesday , he affected to be very much perturbed in mind , paced the bar backwards and forwards , bellowing loudly , whilst holding his handkerchief to his eyes and his hand on tho , top of his head . —Henry Hall , 264 S , said , he had made inquiries about tho prisoner , and ascertained that he had been twice convicted of felony . —Mr . Combe told the prisoner , that all his acting and bellowing nonsense would not siiit there ; it was all assumed stuff . —Prisoner : I know I am ¦
guilty . ' I havo acted dishonourably , and disgraced myself . May I send for my friends ?—Mr Combe : Yon would not send for your friends on Monday . You then claimed acquaintanceshi p with Colonel Chestcrtor , of the House of Correction , saying your father was with him in the 43 d Light Infantry . You may now send to your friend Colonel Chesterton , if you like , and also to Lieutenant Tracoy , of Tothillfields . —Prisoner : I can assure your worship that what I have said is true . - I have been oil friendly terms with Colonel Cliestert . on . I have visited and dined with him in the prison , and was on a visit to him at the time that Modhurst , the murderer of bis schoolfellow , was confined in tho House of Correction ; but I was never in the prison as a convict .- ^ -Mr . Combe : You may say what you like
, but I-shall not believe you after the many lies you told me on Monday . —Prisoner : If I did tell lies on Monday it was only to clear myself of the charge against me . I can asure you I would not tell a gratuitous lie . Circumstances caused me to do what I havo done . —Mr . Combe : Were you ever charged at Marylobono police-court ?—Prisoner : Yes , but it was a false charge . —Mr . Combe : Were you charged there more than once ?—Prisoner : Yes , twice ; I borrowed a glazier ' s knife to put in a pane of glass and they said I stole the knife—Officer : Yes , and a hammer too . ( A laugh . ) Do you remember being charged with stealing a ¦ sovereign ?—The prisoner hung down his head and said nothing to this ,-Mr . Combo : Do you remember that ? — The prisoner
( hesitatingly , mid in an under tone ) : Yes , I do . — Mr . Combo : Why , I never met with a more impudent tbiaf in all my life before . —The" prisoner was about to say something else when Mr . ¦ Mallotfc , the clerks told him that nothing he could say there in reference to tho charge would serve Turn . —The several witnesses were examined in confirmation ofthe evidence ; aud the property was identified . — Thi > -prisoner entreated' Mr .

SOUrilWARIC-FnAUD oxTUE Brighton Railw -ay CoyiuxY .-Mr . Henry Leeks , chief-clerk at tlie booking office of the London bridge terminus ofthe Brighton railway , was brought before , Mr . Seeker , for final examination charged with committing an extensive system of fraud and embezzlement on ° thc directors and . company of the Bri ghton Railway . — It appeared from tho evidence that the prisoner had been some time employed as a clerk by the . Railway Company , and on account of his good conduct ho was promoted about six months ago to the situation ofcluef-clerk m' the London booking-office , when the most implicit confidence was reposed in him He had two clerks under him whose duty was to issue tickets to first and second class passengers by the Brighton trams , and account to the prisoner who received all cash from them and handed it daily to ' the accountant of the company . Thcnvisoner occasionall y issued tickets himself ; and on Sunday
, thirty-one second class tickets were missed from tho drawer , and no account being rendered of them , suspicion naturall y attached to tho prisoner , and on the following day ( Monday ) tho tickets were found to be correct ; hut on examining them , marks were discovered on thirty-one , which clearly showed that they liad been issued . An inquiry was immediatel y commenced , which resulted in the I prisoner , a guard named Springett , and Chocseman , the chief ticket collector at Brighton , being taken mto custody , and charged before the ' magistrates of Brighton with the offence . An investi gation took p ace , which resulted m the two latter beb ™ discharged , and the prisoner was sent to London that the case might undergo an investi gation at this court . Ihe prisoner s office ' was entirel y under his control and it was his . duty , as well as tho clerks t « ** « tickets from tho slides . The latter S ' snnpltd from the drawer uuderwav h , and , were numbered

consecutively , and ought not to bo issued until the slides were empty , when a report ought to be made of the circumstance . The slides wei-e knowrl to . be full on the days in question , which left no necessity for interferin | witli the drawer ; but the company having some susp icion that tickets had been fraudulentl / issuVledto the drawer in question . being examined . The tickets were alleged to be sold by the prisoner , who acj ; ed in concert with theticxet collector at Brighton . That officer , instead of sending them in the usual way into the audit-office , handed them to the guard , who broug ht them to London and transferred them to the prisoner . JNot hpinirmnrkfid with a stronir impression , the latter
partially erased the mark and replaced them m his drawer for the purpose of issuing them again , not suspecting that his system of fraud was discovered . —Mr . Weathorhead , superintendent at the Londonbridge terminus , produced the tickets , which had evidently been marked and issued . He also produced tho slides holding the tickets , and the drawer . Tho slides would contain more than a hundred tickets—sufficient for any common train . Had the prisoner taken any from the drawer it would have been his duty t & report that fact tothe accountant in tho regular way . —Mr . Edward Blundell , one of the clerks in the prisoner ' s office , said that he saw the nvisoner issue tickets for the seven o ' clock
Brighton train on the 1 st inst . The prisoner issued the firsfc and second class tickets ; but he had no right io go to the drawer , as the slides were full . The tickets now produced had evidently been issued , from the marks thereon . — Mr .. Slight , tho accountant to tho company , stated that there were three clerks in the booking-office—the prisoner , Mr . Blundell , and Mr . Francis . The prisoner had the command over them , and it was his dufy to keep account o f the tickets and cash , and collect the latter'twice a day , and bandit over to witness . The prisoner certified to the other clerks that the accounts were correct . —Mr . Clarkson inquired how the tickets were disposed of after they were used ?—Witness replied that the collector returned them into tho audit-office , when they wero
examined bv him . They were sent in every morning . The drawer in which the extra tickets were kept was locked , and the prisoner always kept the keys when tho office was closed . Any fraud of the present description must have been committed by other parties acting in collision , as it would be impossible for one person to commit such acts , — Mr . Clarkson said he had no further evidence to offer , and as therewas quite sufficient to send the case before a jury , he should ask for a committal . — Mr . Seeker said that he should commit the prisoner for trial , but he had no objection to take bail for his appearance at the Old Bailey Sessions . He should , however , require twenty-four hours' notice of the proposed sureties . The prisoner was then committed for trial .
WORSHIP STREET . — Forged Notes . — William Harris , a tall and rather respectable-looking young man , was placed at the bar before Mr . Arnold upon a charge of uttering aforged £ 5 banknote . —Mr . Vann , a solicitor , attended for the prisoner . ' The note in question was produced stamped with tho word '' forged . " It had been paid into the Bank from Mr . Johnson , a flour factor , who had received it from Mr . Bennett , a baker in the Kingsland-road , whose daughter had g iven change for it to the servant of Mr . Smith , landlord of the Carpenters' Arms public-house in the same neig hbourhood , and the latter had taken it from a Mrs . Wilton , a landlady of a house of bad repute m
Essex-street , Kingsland-road . —Mary Bird , a girl of the town , now deposed , that on Tuesday fortnight the prisoner accompanied her home to Mrs . Wilton ' s , where he sent out for half a pint of brandy , and gave the landlady a £ 5 note to get changed , which she accordingly did , and the note was afterwards returned as a forgery . She was quite certain of the prisoner ' s identity , having been in his company several times before . Last Saturday night she saw him again in the Kingsland-road , when she told him that he had given her landlady a false note , and wished him to go home with her , but he told her not to bother him , and having offered her some half-pence , which she refused , he went away .
She , however , followed him , and she said he gave her in charge for annoying him . —Inspector Pascoe said the witness was mistaken in saying that she had been taken in charge , for tho fact was , that since the return of the forged note , she had been about with some of the police , on the look out for the person who was alleged to have uttered it-Martha Wilton , the landlady , said sho was equally certain that the prisoner was the person who sent her out for the brandy , and to get change for the £ 5 note as stated by the witness Bird . She took it to the Carpenters' Arms , where the barman sent
out and obtained change , which she on her return delivered to tbo prisoner . It was about eight in the evening , and the gas alight at the bar at the time . —Mr . Briton , clerk at the bank of England , proved that the note produced was a forgery , and on its presentation at the bank on the 31 st ult . ae stamped it accordingly . Two other notes , now shown to him by the police , were also precisely similar forgeries . —On the part of the prisoner it was alleged that he was a person of highly respectable character , hblding a situation in the City , and entirely innocent of the charge made against him by the female witnesses . —Sergeant Teable , who had in his possession Several forged notes similar to the one produced , said he had no less than six to produce on a future occasion , but was not prepared with any evidence now . —Mr . Arnold remanded the prisoner .

THE NOTTINGHAM SILK GLOYE BRANCH . The following handbill has been extensively circulated in and around Nottingham : — TO TBE MANUFACTURERS , AGENTS . WORKMEN , AND OTHERS CONNECTED WITH TEE GLOVE BRANCH . Gentlemen and Fellow-Workmen , —It is with great reluctance we impose upon ourselves the disagreeable task of publishing this bill ; but it is not our object to injure the character of any one , it is not for a vain display , nor is it to create an Unnecessary sensation ; it is a work of necessity , for the vindication of our own character and proceedings , and for an exposition ef some of the unjust impositions which so frequently have been , and , in some cases , still are , practised upon us .
It was found , a short time since , that tho firm of I ., I ., and I . Wilson were not paying the same price for the- workmanship of their plain silk gloves , as other firms were , and are now , paying ; this led the trade to make further inquiries , when they were surprised and grieved to discover that the workmen of Messrs . Wilson were receiving as much as fortv per cent , less than the workmen employed by other firms . * * * * When tho facts had been ascertained , a deputation of workmen were , appointed to wait upon Messrs . Wilson to lay the case before them , and solicit tliem to act in accordance with , and pay the same prices as , the trade generally ; but the deputation was very uncourtobusly received , many unpleasant reflections were cast upon them , and they wore finally told , " they had nothing to do with the caso , and that Messrs . Wilson would not condescend to have anything to say to them on the subject "
Now , one great object ofthe United Glove Trade is , that all workmen receive the same remuneration for tho same amount of labour and quality of workmanship , thus enabling all manufacturers ( so far as we are concerned , ) to take their goods into the market on the same terms , and destroy that unjust and injurious spirit of competition which has existed and which has brought many honest and industrious workmen to a state of the deepest destitution and suffering ; henceit will be evident that had Messrs
, , . Wilsons hands continued to work it would have inflicted . a serious injury on tho whole body of workmen , in tho trade , as their , wages must inevitably have been reduced in consequence . We have , thereforo ,. boon . compolled , though quite contrary to our . inclination } and , as our only resource , while deified tiro--protection- for our labour we ought t 6 enjoy , to take these hands on strike , and support them from the contributions of their brethren who are now employed .
The social condition and domestic happiness , ifc will be seen by every thinking man , is materially affected and injured by such arbitrary and unjust conduct on the part of manufacturers , and such repeated attempts at reduction of wages . ' Tho effect upon the physical and moral powers has been often exemplified in tho case of those who have been driven to a state of listlessness and despair who have become useless members of society , and have gradually sank into untimel y graves ; and those who , not being able to cam an honest liv < dihnnti
have yielded to the influence of an evil genius , and have lived b y fraud and preying upon their fellow creatures , till premature death or tho hulks have brought them to an end of their career . What religious improvement can we expect when wo seo some manufacturers , who are honoured members of Christian churches , daily showing , by their actions , that they disbelieve the great truths of tho doctrines they profess ? It at once leads the ignorant portion of the -community to conclude theology a system invented to delude them , and they act accordingly Great is your responsibilit y , ye worshippers ' of mammon ! . if
. Working men , do not despair , this . is the a <* o of improvement : act not "from" momentary impulses but from a firm conviction of duty . . Think " think deeply < and think . seriously I exeift the whole powei of your minds , and the result will more thai recompense you . N . B . _ We know for a truth , that Messrs . Wilson J hatton , to got it made , and they will pay him the W ' P ^ o for it ,-the same price as ffi hmids at Nottingham have turned out to obtain
