MR . _KTDD'S _REJOIKDERTTO MR . . CLARK'S * . _- -i .-. _J- ' v ' -. ; _-i = i . ' « _L- ; l " "i _^^^^ _l : V _? -. _^ jiiift . _«• : _> _:.= ! M-. _Clart h _*« dther ignoranfly or intentionally _nasconsirued my challenge . to . him ; at the Stepney meeting .. I challenged him" to :-discuss the ' Correct-Bess or _incorrectness of the views set forth in the fet Tesolution , ' moved ' -by Mr ; Camphell , in the oolumn of a newspaper . " " Mr . Clark " either did , or cod not . accept f ' my offer . If he did , let him fulfil * _f &'' pledgeThy ' . ! dacassing the question in the press . If he did not , let him say " at once that he declines the _eoiitrowisy iu the way desired . by . _mel . !
I neither drew : up , nor countenanced al ! the reso _^ Int ' tons which the committee intended to submit to the decision of the- ' Stepney meetings . But , I did think the first resolution correct -in principle ; arid , in my letter have endeavoured to prove it to be so . W _« h what success , it is for Mr . Clark and others to judge . The readers , of the Star know that I have so objection to a repeal of the laws of primogenitare andentail _. and a reduction of taxation ; also , an extension of the Suffrage . Now , suppose I was to idd to Mr . Clark's amendment a few additions , such as a separation of church and state , abolition of the game laws , abolition of capital punishment , colonial _reforji , adjustment of the national debt ,
establishment of model lodging houses , public baths and _wasliouses , & c . I dare say Mr . Clark would , himself admit ,, that those additions would render his amendment more comprehensive . But , -what relatian would tbey bear to the duties of a government , as set forth in Mr . Campbell's resolution ? "first , let us discuss principles , and then tbe application of principles . If the kind of protection I thiulc necessary be somewhat' vaguely' stated in the resolution that forms the basis of my ! argument , let Mr . Clark show in what way it is vague ; if ray reasoning be fallacious , let Mr . Clark prove it to be so ; and when he has proceeded so far I will reply .
One thing at a time may seem rather a slow way of business to some men , to me it is a sure way . And when Mr . Clark has replied to , or acknowledged the truth of my first letter , I will be very glad to enter into any other arrangements necessary for the diffusion of knowledge ,-aad the . promulgation of principles . But , until then , I say to Mr . Clark , either accept of my offer to discuss the question at issue in ths colums of a newspaper , with the plainness of an honest man , or say that you do not icceptof my offer . - ¦ . . ¦ 1 certainly am in no way pledged to discuss the effects of an abolition of the laws of primogeniture and entail , and an extension of the suffrage , as set forth in Mr . Clark ' s amendment .
I may add , that if Mr . Clark adheres to the principles advocated so unmistakeably by him atthe Stepney meeting , there are the fullest grounds of difference between myself and bim . Mr . Claris asserts that the labourers of England require no protection from either foreign or home competition . I assert that they require protection from both . Mr . Clark asserts that all government interference with labour is unsound in principle . I assert that it is the duty of the government to interfere , and to protect the labourer . Mr . Clark asserts that buy at the cheapest market , and sell at the dearest , under all circumstances , is the highest law of commerce . I assert that to buy at the cheapest market and sell at the
dearest , under all circumstances , is . a robbery of the property of the poor for the benefit ef the rich , and will , in the end . prove destructive to the happiness of til . I have stated the differences of opinion between "Mr . Clark and myself broadly , and as I understood him to express his meaning at the Stepney meeting ; if I am in error I will be most happy to be corrected . Mr . Clark will not be offended with me for reminding him that , when he was a factory operative in Lancashire , be did not then advocate that the duties of government : were purely negative ; and when he advocated tbe Ten Hours Bill , he did not then contend that laizzie fare { or let _everything alone ) ' was the wisest policy of a state . A study of the duties of government , and years of experience and reflection , may have entirely changed his opinions . So far as I am
concerned , the more that I think of the subject the more fully does it appear to my mind that the Mzzetfaire theory applied to a society in which all the land and accumulated property are in the hands of a few men , is the most heartless and destructive doctrine ever taught in any conntry . I may be , and probably am , in error , for I have lived long enough in the world to know that I have before now sincerely advocated erroneous opinions . The fact that I have often erred in judgment , makes me the more desirous of reasoning all differences of opinion fullj out ; and when Mr . Clark has settled the question at issue ( as stated in my first letter ) and informed me how far I have correctly stated his -views as opposed to mine , nothing on earth will give me mora pleasure than to continue the discussion in any way that may be mutually agreed on , and may seem most desirable .
As regards a restoration of the defunct corn laws , 1 wotll oppose the reimposition of a doty on corn imported from abroad . But there is the broadest possible difference between restoring an abrogated corn lawjnd government interference to regelate and protect labour . Such difference I would endeavour to make plain in a discussion on the general question . I would also suggest , that protection to labour has no" more connexion with Toryism , that it has with _Whiggism , or Chartism ; and as hints from
abroad sometimes serve to illustrate subjects at home , it may not be ont of place to remark , that President Taylor of the United States of America , — the president of a country in which Manhood _Suffrage is the rule—has declared himself favourable to ' protection to native industry , ' showing hy the way that tie most democratic people In the word have elected for tbeir first magistrate , aa antWFree Trader , in the sense in which free trade is generally understood ia England * , aud here let me caution the metropolitan trades .
Working men of London , take good heed what yoa are about ; do not allow your movement to be mixed up with a movement in favour of a restored corn law , and always elect to preside at your meetings , one of your own body . Tour cause , it is true , is too important to be easily damaged ; but never were times more critical than those in wbicb we live . We are now having a faction and- party struggle . Your interests are not much cared for by either of tbe struggling parties . It therefore becomes Ihe more necessary that you contend the more cautiously , but finely and rationally , for what you think advantageous for your own and your country's interests .

_Assasouaiioh uj Cobsicjl . — -A notorious Corsican bandit , named Tancredi , was a few days ago tried "before . the Court of Assizes at Corsica , on the charge of muriering , at different times , a man named Mprelli ; a man named' Andre" Natalli ; a man . namedDominique Martini ; and , finall y , for attempting , on the 24 th of March , 1849 , to , murder some gendarmes . The several . cases of murder were clearly proved against the -prisoner , ; and it was shown that for a loDg time he had been accustomed to cahy off young girls tb ! caves : and forests aad there commit violence " on them , that he had levied contributions on the peaceable inhabitants of the Tillages , that he had committed so many excesses of all kinds , and had exercised such a system

"Mr. J. Bronterre O'Brien's Lectures. : ...
"Mr . J . BRONTERRE O ' BRIEN'S LECTURES . : . TBE NATIC _^ AL ! REFORUJliEAGUE ; -.. _; , _* , ,. Mr . O ' Brien having " recovered from ; his recent illness has . resumed his lectures in . the Institution ; John-street , Eitzroy-square . On Friday last , after an address from him as President ; of the National Reform . League , the . first quarterly , report of the council of tlaat body was read / It commenced . by stating that notwsthstanding the paucity of , means which the council had had at . their command foi * . appealing to the public , arid , notwithstanding the general indifference to political agitation which had of late prevailed in the public mind , the register of the League contained nearly 140 subscribers . This number was thought to be sufficiently large to afford a good omen of the . success of the League , Ulti
especially when . it was considered , that as - - mate aim Of the Association was the establishment of fundamental social rights—which have _neveryet been fully recognised in tbe world , together with an untried system of political economy , the parties becoming members of-the League were required to abandon many popular prejudices , and exercise their intellect in a somewhat comprehensive field ot observation . After detailing the proceedings of the League , since its institution in October last ,, the report alluded to the actual progress which the reforms it advocated were making in society . The doctrine that the land of the country should belong to the state , as trustee for the people , and that it should be gradually redeemed from the hands ol orivate owners , was making way ; as also was tho
belief that a circulating medium , based on a gold standard of value , was radically unjust , and had now become the cause of great evils in Society . In predicating the probable course of public events during the present age , the report expressed the belief , that none of the Reform movements of the day , however triumphant they might become , conld g ive substantial benefit to the wealth-producers . They were mere party questions , in which the interests of landlords , money-lords , and profitists were conflicting for the mastery , hut , in which , the interests of the useful labourer of society were totall y overlooked . It was hoped that the anomalous and contradictory , assertions and theories of the prevailing political parties , would at length . lead the working ; classes to discover
thereat causes of their oppression—namely , their present dependence on capitalists feir employment , through the want of any adequate resources for producing wealth and consuming it , independent of _landlords-and money-lords ; a defect in . the social institutions of the world , which had now _^ brought the labourer into a condition of . wages , slavery worse than feudalism , and with few . advantages over the chattle-slavery of America or the Brazils . The only movement with whieh the League could cordially sympathise , was thatfor the attainment of the People ' s Charter ; because without the acquisition of Universal Suffrage , the undue assumption of political power , by the higher and middle classes , could not be successfully counteracted or prevented . It was hoped , too , that the historical experiences
derived from recent continental events , will have disabused the industrious classes of the utter fallacy of expecting that any mere change in the name and form of a government without an alteration in its principles and spirit , would work any beneficial change for them ; for while usurers , landlords , and profitists held their present power , it matters little who or what is nominally the government , because government would be but a machine in the hands of these parties , for the forcible suppression of the rights and privileges of the mass of the reople . The report wound up by an exhortation to the members not to relax in their efforts to promote the League in public estimation ; and not to contrast too hastily the magnitude , of its designs with the feebleness of its existing means to accomplish them .
The . conventional hypocrisy of the day might . try to extinguish tbeir asp irations with a sneer—but if they had faith in ah harmonic system of society—if they believed that God had g ifted man with powers adequate to work out his own terrestrial , as well as celestial salvation—if they believe that Deity punishes men "i f / their sins , as well as for them—and if they believed that the princip les enunciated by the National Reform League would raise humanity from its present degredation , they will not cease to proclaim those principles to the world , wherever their voices could be heard , or their words read . Martyrdom was neither expected nor required ofthe followers of the League ; nor that they should recklessly run a-muck at the existing institutions of society . . They should be wise as serpents , but
harmless as doves . Tbey were told to remember that all great changes in society came from below , and not from the higher classes ; and that such revolutions always commence with the minority , and not with the majority , which is always made up of the unthinking , slavish herd of mankind , whose doctrine is expediency , and whose characteristic is compromise . Nor needed they to be ashamed of public criticism , because their principles could bear the tests ofthe ! true Christian , the true moralist , and the true philanthropist . To the dominant schools of political economy and jurisprudence they were opposed ; but those schools were opposed to Scriptural Christianity , and to practical morality . The doctrines and principles of the League , would , for the first time in the history of the world ,
enforce the practical recognition of the . equality of human rights , aud the reciprocity of human duties : they would necessitate justice between man and man , because under them honesty would indeed be found the best policy , as dishonesty would be its own punishment . To those who looked askant at their proceedings , and were inclined hastily to prejudge them as destructives and anarchists , they might ask , where would be found better guarantees of compensation for displaced interests , than those the League had suggested ? It must . also be borne in mind , that the safety of the existing institutions of society is far from being unquestionable . In a country where so large an amount of forced idleness and poverty prevailed—with their concomitant vices —where pauperism was so general—and where , in one portion of its dominions alone , nearly three millions of people had , recently , been daily fed by
government , property , law , and order , could not be said to rest on very safe bases . The members of the League might hope , then , that many who now stood aloof would join their ranks , when they properly understood their purports and aims . The difficulties to be encountered were great . Their propagandism would be slow , because the heart as well as the head had to be converted . All important changes in public opinion and action required time to bring about—to imagine otherwise , would be to overlook all historical , and even physical analogies . But let them get rid of sophistry and system-mongering—let them reason their great cause well out , and ultimately it would be won ! !'" ' _- . _* At the conclusion of the meeting the president announced that he had resumed his Sunday evening lectures , at 72 , Newman-street ; where he invited parties to meet him in friendly discussion , on the principles of social and political science .
The Ballast Heavers. A Meeting Of Tbe Fo...
THE BALLAST HEAVERS . A meeting of tbe following gentlemen took place on Tuesday at the London Tavern : —Sir James Duke , Bart ., M . P ., in the chair ; Mr . Pearson , M . P . ; Mr . Pewtress , Mr . Millard , Mr . Harrison , Mr . Dakin , Mr . John Wood , the Her . Mr . Cattley , Mr . Mayhew , and Mr . Delane . ' ¦¦ _ The object ofthe meeting was to take into consideration the state of the ballast-heavers and lumpers employed on the Thames . Mr . Mayhew detailed at some length the distress which prevailed amongst the ballast-heavers and lumpers , in consequence of the objectionable manner in which they are at present paid for their laborious employment . Mr . Pewtress entered into a statement of benefits
derived by the _coal-whippers from the Act of Parliament passed for their protection , and which regulated the manner in which they were employed and paid . He drew a strong contrast between their former and their present condition . They had created a fund of their own , out of which they had ! established a school for their children and a benefit society , and by a subscription of a penny per man per ship they had formed another fund , which enabled them , to grant pensions to the infirm members of their body . Nothing could be more gratif ying than their clean and respectable appearanee whenever they met together . The „ following resolutions were subsequently agreed to unanimously : —
Thatthe inquiries made by the Morning _OkrontcU into the state of labour ' and the poor having disclosed the great extent of misery and destitution which consequentl y prevails amongst the labouring classes , produced chiefly by the modem which the */ are at present employed , and by the objectionable way in which their wages " are paid , it is tiie opinioaof thus meeting that , without in the slightest degree mterfenng with the rights ot employers , some measures should he taken to abolish the evils of the present system , and secure to the labourers the regular payment of their wages . ' That it appears that the _bauasfcgetters in the employ of the Corporation of the Trinity House are well paid , but that _tteballast-heavers employed to shovel the ballast out of me Trinity House lighters are sufferers from the
_obiecnonaoie system _oy wmentney are engaged and paid , that asnb < oiamittee k appointed to communicate with the Corporati-mof the Trinity House , and to ascertain whether _, consistently mth then * regulations ; the ballast-heavers cannot be placed under the control ofthe Trinity House in the same manner as the baUast- getters . That the committee be also authorised to communicate with her Majesty ' s government ; and to adopt such other measures as may be most condncive to the attainment of the objects of the foregoing resolutions . The committee to consist of the gentlemen now present The thanks of the meeting were then unanimously voted , io Sir James Duke for his kind and prompt attention to the objects of the meeting . .

Hudson Telfor _; Mr . Collier appeared-for . thoj prisoner '¦ _-. The prose-: cut ' or , a > hosier and . draper ,. stated . that on the evening of the 17 th of this month , ' tho prisoner wen t into his shop and requested . toibe shown . some handkerchiefs . That request was oompliedjwith , but in consequence of some peculiarity : of manner ! with which he handled the handkerchiefs , he ( Mr . Telfer ) accused him of stealing two of them , and tho prose' _^^^^^ — ¦
cutor distinctly swore that upon that charge being made , the prisoner threw down two handkerchiefs , which formed a portion of those ; wliich had 'been show . i to him over the counter , and- which ; he had concealed . under _ his coat . Mr . Collier made a lengthy and ingenious address to the-jury , and the prisoner was acquitted . . •; _¦ ,.- ; vv Assault . —Two defendants , named Squires and Weeks , convicted at the December Sessions of assaulting William , Hardwick , wero brought up for judgment . The : prosecutor , a colonial agent , residing in South-street , Finsbury , bad bought of the defendant Squiers two pianos , for one of which he had paid , and on his complaining that one of the instruments was inferior in quality to the other , the
defendants went to his house , and having used great violence to Mr . Hardwick , took , away both pianos in a cart . Mr . Parry appeared for ; _; Mr . Hardwick . The learned counsel stated that the defendant and his client had made an arrangement , by ; which Spires was to pay down £ 23 , the price of the piano Mr . Hardwick had paid him for , and ; - £ 10 costs ; Mr . Hardwick wished it to be . understood that Squiers retracted all the offensive expressions he had used in reference to him . —The learned judge was very glad such a course had been ' adopted , and complimented Mr . Hardwick upon the spirit he had exhibited ; throughout the . proceedings . The £ 23 was then paid ; and a nominal sentence having been passed , the defendants were discharged . . / .. ; :
_EXTEAORDLVABV CASE'OF " BbGOING-LBTTKB IMPOSITION . —John Thomas Simpson Jones , 36 , a respectably dressed man , but one of the most notorious begging-letter impostors iu England , was indicted for having obtained by false pretences two halves of a £ 5 Bank of England note , and also the sum of £ 3 , from Mr . John Collingridge , a gentleman of fortupe residing at Sunbury . Mr . Phinn and Mr . Lempriere appeared for the prosecution , and Mr . _Prendergast appeared for the prisoner . The prisoner pleaded autrefois acquit , but as he was not prepared to put in that plea in writing , and refused to make any other plea , the Court ordered the plea of not guilty to be entered . —Mr . Phinn then proceeded to state the case to the jury . He said the character of the investigation tliey were about to enter upon was one
which , though supported by very simple facts , was of considerable public interest and importance , ' though not of frequent occurrence in a court of justice . The prisoner was charged in the indictment witb having by false pretences obtained from the prosecutor certain monies ; and the false representations upon which he so obtained the money were contained in what were very well known as •¦ begging-letters , " and it would appear that the prisoner was one of those pests who defrauded the charitable and benevolent portion of the public by assuming false characters , concocting pitiful stories of woe , aSiction , and trouble , and appealing to compassionate feeling and sympathies , and who thereby perverted the stream of public charity from l those channels in' which , for the interests of
society it was desirable that ; it . ; should f > flow . The prosecutor , Mr . Collingridge , was a gentleman who resided at Sunbury Villa , in this county , and who also had a residence in Pulteney-strcet , Ba _$ h , and the prisoner having got possession of his Bath address rewarded him a letter thither ; but at that time , July last year , Mr . Collinridge was at Sunbury , and the letter was re-posted to bim there . In consequence of that letter , Mr . Collinridge sent a post-office order for £ 3 in favour ofa person named Brewer , to the Post-office at Gravesend , and the circumstance ofthe letter having been sent to Bath gave rise to the supposition that tbe Bath Sessions had jurisdiction in the case , but the Recorder
decided that the money had been obtained in Middlesex , and therefore the case was brought to this court for trial . —James Brewer stated that he was now a prisoner in Bath gaol , under a conviction for obtaining money by false pretences , or rather by begging letters . He had known the prisoner about tbree years . In July last tbey both lived at No . 21 , Lillington-street , Tauxhall-road , and he ( witness ) showed him a letter which Mr . Collingridge , the prosecutor , had given him , for treatment at thc Bath Dispensary . Jones took down the address , and wrote a letter to Mr . Collingridge , and directed witness to proceed to Gravesend to post it . The letter was here put in "; it ' was as follows : —
Gravesend , July 30 , ' 4 . 9 .: Sus , —Permit me to address you in a case of charity at the earnest entreaty of James Brewer , a young man whom you have been very kind to on several occasions , and some months ago gave him £ 1 3 s . to take him to Leamington . He was ordered here for the benefit of sea bathing , but the air heing too keen for his delicate frame , he has been advised to endeavour to gain admission to the Consumption Hospital at Brompton , near London . Ho is in very distressed circumstances , and has no means of paying the fees of that institution , and is also indebted here to his landlady for board . Your kindness to him before induces him ' to bope that once more , and for the last time , you might render him some little assistance to enable him to make up £ 2 10 s ., all that he is deficient of . I have taken more than usual interest in his case , having given him £ 2 10 s „ and some linen . The writer then proceeded to request that an enclosure might be forwarded to the Gravesend Post-office for Brewer , as he ( the writer ) was about to leave for Scotland . —( Signed ) John Scott , If . D .
Witness continued—He posted eight or nine other letters at the same time as he posted the one just read , and when he went to Gravesend , in a few days afterwards , he received several letters in answer to them , including one from Mr . Collingridge , enclosing a Post-office order for £ 3 , which he at once got cashed , and one _enolosing £ 5 from tho Queen Dowager . He returned to London , and halved the money with the prisoner . Shortly afterwards he went to live at Bath , and the prisoner and a woman named Farr went to live with him . ' He wag the party referred to in the letter , but it was all fictious about his wanting to get into the Brompton Hospital . The prisoner wrote the letter . In cross-examination the witness said he had been a begging letter impostor about three
years , having ' jbeen Ted into it by a companion of the prisoner named Sullivan , but that he had not got nis living by means Of employment since 1843 ; in which year he was thrown from a coach in the . _Somersetroad , and was severely hurt . There were , two charges against him at Bath ; he pleaded guilty to one _. ' and was sentenced to four months ' imprisonment , with hard labour . Did not expect a mitigation of his sentence , if the prisoner was convicted . —Inspector Tate , of the Bath constabulary , and Brunswick Harrison , a Bath officer , produced a quantity of begging letters which were found iri _Brewers ' s house , They likewise produced a number ef " Court Guides , " Dod ' s and Burke's " Peerages , " and DodV " Parliamentary Companions , " which were found there also . —In the cross-examination of these officers , it transpired that the
prisoner was apprehended on a charge of stealing a gold watch . On searching Brewers ' s house , these letters were found . —Mr . Collingridge proved having received the letter , and sent the £ 3 . He should Certainly not have sent it , had he not believed the representations contained in the letter were genuine . —Mr . Cours , postmaster at Gravesend , proved that the money was paid to the prisoner , who received the letter . There was no Dr . Scott at Gravesend . —From evidence then gone into to substantiate the other charge i " n the indictment ; it appeared that when at Bath , the prisoner had , by some means , become aware of the circumstances that Mr . Collingridge was remotely related toa family of that name in ' -Northumberland , and he at once assumed the character of a member of that family , arid wrote to Mr ; Collingridge . ' - ' - * "
i _^ The letter stated the writer to be the son of the late R ' evi w ; C _..-CoUmgridge , of _Newcasfle _. ' and thathe had resided for many years . at Cape St .

THAMES . —Caution to Emigbants . —A person named Wootton , lately a lodging-house-keeper at Margate , applied to Mr . Yardley under the following circumstances : —He said : that in November last he treated with a company , whose office is in Jewrystreet , Aldgate _. for a passage for himself and family ; who were about to emigrate to Port Natal , agreeing to pay a sum of £ 40 . On the 29 th or 30 th of that month he received a letter from a Mr . Bine , who , he understood , was secretary to Mr . Hackett , the principal , urging him to pay up , as final arrangements were being rapidly made . He therefore lodged £ 40 , in two instalments of £ 20 each , to the credit of Mr . Hackett , in tho bank of Messrs . Barclay and Co ., for which he exhibited the receipts .
He was ordered to be ready on the . 12 th ult ., at which time it was stated the vessel ;( theToronto ) would leave London . He hastily ordered his broker to sell his goods , which was done at a considerable loss under the circumstance , and came at once with his wife and children up to London ; but there was no-Toronto to start . After the lapse of some time he was "directed to take his effects to the West India Docks , being informed that he and his family were to have . their passage in a vessel called the Hebrides , but , up tothe present time , he saw no Erospect of pursuing the voyage . He had been ere since the 12 th < of December , at considerable expense , consuming what little the sale of his effects had produced , and . owing to the cruel delay , ruin
was staring - him and s his family in the face . In answer to the magistrate , applicant said he knew nothing of Mr . Hackett , but that he was a squire , and he understood Mr . Bine to be his secretary . — Mr . Yardley told him , that as tho money had been paid in the City , he had better make his complaint to the Lord Mayor , who would , no doubt , under the Passengers Act , enable him not only to recover the money he . had advanced , but likewise the expenses to which he had been - put . —The : poor man gratefully thanked his worship , and withdrew , saying he would immediately do so .

pound Bank of England notes and two sovereigns , the , property of Mi * . _Theophilus Burton , a butcher , in _Pearson-street , _Kingsland-road . —The prosecutor stated that the prisoner was formerly in his service as maid of all work , but having unfortunately met with an accident a-few weeks since , which disabled her ! from further duty , he : was , compelled to discharge her . The prisoner , however , ; continued occasionally to visit the house under pretence of seeing his : children , for whom she professed the greatest attachment , and was well aware of the fact that he was . in the habit of keeping his money in a small box , whieh was deposited in a larger box in an upperroom to ; which she had frequent access on those occasions . The last time she called to see them was
on Thursday afternoon the 17 th inst ., when she remained some time in the room in question , and shortly after her departure he discovered that his cash-box , containing four £ 10 notes and two sovereigns , had disappeared ; and on the following morning one of his men discovered the _, box lying open in an . ¦• outhouse" adjoining the .: shop , the Whole of its contents haying been abstracted from it . Feeling , satisfied that the . prisoner had carried off the money , he procured the _assistanceof Policeconstable Zinzard , with whom he proceeded to the house of her mother , where he found : the prisoner , Wd at once accused her of having robbed . him , jvhich she at first stoutly denied ; but on being further pressed , she handed him a purse containing ten sovereigns and some silver , which , she stated to be
all that was loft of the stolen property , as she had lost ; the remainder , through a hole in her pocket . While the officer was engaged , however * in searching the apartment , he observed the prisoner pass somethingin a furtive manner , to . one of hers sisters , who hastily secreted it at the bottom of a cupboard , on examining which he found a , dirty piece of paper , with two of the missing * 510 notes wrapped up in it , Aquantity of women ' s . wearing apparel and other articles , ;; which had evidently . been ; , recently purchased , were also discovered , and . the . prisoner admitted ; that the whole of them , had been , bought with a portion of the money _she . had stolen from the prosecutor ,. upon which she _; was g iven _intoioustody . -rThe prisoner , . who . deolined . ottering any defence , was ordered to be remanded for , . a weok .:,: _% \ .. ..

was required to perform his duties , he entered the Pavilion Tavern , near the new Olympic Theatre , where a number of booksellers generally met , and he played a game at bagatelle with three others , including the prisoner , who lost .
