MEKTITFIT POLICE COURT. SATTTBDAY.—(Before J. C. Fowler, Esq.) AN IMPUDSKT TUIEP. Thomas Gibbon, jockle seller, was charged as follows:—John Williams, moulder, said: I live at Mount-street, jrrawen Terrace, Merthyr. On Thursday even- ng last I went to the Lamb public-house in the Grlebeland, and had on my feet a pair of quarter boots. I went to sleep there. "When I awoke I Found that my boots: had been taken off my feet. These are the boots produced. I did not see the {irisoner there.—Jeremiah Brien said: I am a abourer. I was in the Lamb on Thursday evening and saw the prosecutor there sleeping. I also saw the prisoner and another man with a blue Guernsey smock on, unlacing prosecutor's boots. I told them to let him alone. They said, If you don't say anything it will be all right." I went out and left them in the room. I after. wards saw the prisoner and the other boy out- side. They ran away. The other boy had something under his smock. They ran down th e street together. They did not come out through 'the front door. I suppose they must have come out through the back window.—Mrs. Goodman said: I am wife of Joseph Goodman, pawn- broker. I received these boots in pledge from & person who gave his name Thomas Evans. He had a blue Guernsey smock on. He was about the size of the prisoner. The boots are worth 58. now to sell.—P.C. Evan Bees said: Yesterday morning I took prisoner in custody. I told him, You are charged together with another boy with stealing a pair of boots from the Lamb off a man's feet while he was asleep." He said, I was not near the Lamb yesterday." I said, I was told you were." He said, Well, I did not see or touch th6 boots." I received the boots from last witness.—Mr. Fowler said this was a very bad case; the next thing he should expect from prisoner was to find him charged with house-breaking or something similar, for any person committing such an impudent robbery as this he (Mr. Fowler) considered capable of committing any offence, and in order to put a stop to such proceedings as these the sentence upon the prisoner (who having previously pleaded guilty) would be a heavy one—namely, four calendar months with hard labour in Cardiff house of correction. JUVENILE OfPBNDBB. — Mary Davies, aged nine years, was charged with stealing 40lbs of coal, the property of the Dowlais company.— P.S. Hodgson said: On Wednesday evening he saw thj prisoner at Dowlais taking some of the coal off the trams. When she saw hira she threw the coal down and ran away.—Mr. Fowler said he did not wish to commit the prisoner to gaol on account of her age; but if her father (who was in court) was agreeable to pay 10s. fine including the costs he had the option of doing so, instead of having his daughter sent to prison. The father consented to pay the fine, and the prisoner was then liberated. ASSAULT.—Mary Burke was summoned for as- saulting Mr. Ewan-Ferguson at Merthyr, on the 18th inst.—Complainant said he went to the de- fendant's house to look for some money. Some words ensued, whereupon defendant went to the firegrate and caught in a nob of coal, which she threw at complainant, striking him over the eye to the hooe.- Fined 10s. and lis. 6d. costs; in default of payment, she was committed to Cardiff house of correction for fourteen days.

I'll give it thee or thou shalt give it me;" complainant told me to take him into custody; he was not very drunk.- Elizabeth Norby was called for the defence, and her evidence went so far as to attach great blame upon complainant and his wife, in consequence of which Mr. Fowler did not feel justified to inflict any fine upon prisoner.—He was then, together with Maria his wifa, charged with as- saulting P.S. Evan Rees.- Complainant said I had taken the prisoner William in custody on the above charge; he struggled and said, No bloody man shall take me to the station." I ordered P.C.
