Thomas Taylor and Henry Cowdrey, labourers, living at Yiewsley, were charged with having stolen from Philpots Farm, Yiewsley, a quantity of apples value 6d, the property of Mr. Gray, on the previous morning.—James Gray, son of the prosecutor, stated that on the previous morning, shortly after eleven o'clock, he saw the two prisoners in his father's garden picking apples from off the trees. Witness waited until they came out of the garden into the road, and he then went towards them and asked them if they had got any apples, to which they replied that they had not. Witness searched them and found the apples produced concealed under their shirts, and took them away from them. He valued the apples at sixpence.—Prisoners pleaded guilty, but stated that they were blackberrying and picked the fruit up from under the trees.—A fine of 15s, including costs, was imposed, or, in default, 14 days' imprisonment.—The money was paid.

ABUSIVE WORDS, ETC.—Fanny Dossett, of Horton-road, Yiewsley, was summoned for using abusive words towards Rachel Lever, of Horton - rd, Yiewsley.—Arising out of this case, Thomas Taylor, of Horton-road, Yiewsley, was summoned for assaulting William Grover at the same time and place.—These parties were "young men" to the girls.—Having heard the evidence on both sides, the Bench decided to bind all the parties over in their own recognizances in the sum of £5 each to keep the peace for the space of three months and pay the costs.

AN UNPROVOKED ASSAULT.

Thomas Taylor, a young man, of Horton Road, Yiewsley, was charged with assaulting his brother William, by striking him over the left eye with a tea can.

The prosecutor, who appeared in Court with his head all bandaged up, said he was walking along Burchett's Brickfields in company with David Hearne and George Perryman, on the previous evening about half past six. They were proceeding along the tramroad, when his brother came up to him and told witness he ought to be ashamed of himself. In reply to a question as to the reason he replied, "For saying she had been a good mother to you." Without any further conversation having passed between them, prisoner struck prosecutor over the left eye with a tea bottle.

The Chairman: Had there been any conversation about your mother before?

Prosecutor: No, sir; he don't like it 'cause I stops at home.

The Chairman: Did your wound bleed much?

Witness: Yes.

The Clerk: Do you know how long you were insensible?

Witness: No. They took me home and I was seen afterwards at the police station by Dr. Charpentier.

David Hearne and George Perryman both gave evidence as to the assault.

Prisoner denied having struck his brother with a can; he only hit him with his fist.

Sergt. Ball said that at about a quarter to eight on Thursday night he was passing through the High Street, Yiewsley, when he was called to Horton Road. From information he received, he arrested the prisoner in the High Street, and told him the charge when he replied, "I did'nt hit him with a tea bottle, I hit him with my hand." In answer to witness's questions as to how he received the blow on his face he said "Some other men hit me for striking my brother." When prisoner was taken to the station a doctor was called to both him and the prosecutor.

The Chairman: When you went and saw him in Horton Road was Thomas Taylor sober?

Witness: The prisoner was the worse for drink, but prosecutor was sober.

It was mentioned that the prisoner was bound over a fortnight ago for an assault committed on a boy.

The Chairman, addressing the prisoner, said that the Bench thought he had committed a most unprovoked assault on his brother, and he did not give any explanation as to why he assaulted him. He would have to go to prison for 10 days with hard labour.

ASSAULTING HIS WIFE.—Thomas Taylor (33), labourer, of 6, Dock Road, Yiewsley, was charged with assaulting Fanny Taylor, his wife.—He pleaded guilty.—Prosecutrix stated that on Saturday night, when she went home, she found prisoner had fetched one of the children, two years of age, downstairs, and as the child was screaming witness told her daughter to take the baby upstairs. Prisoner then used a filthy expression, and struck her several times, and knocked her senseless. When she regained consciousness, prisoner came out of the scullery with a broom and struck at her. She put up her hand to save her face, and received the blow on her finger, which was badly hurt. Her husband was never sober, and she had to work to keep her four children. She defended herself as best she could, but did not use a poker. He had ill-treated her many times before.—By the prisoner: You started the row; I called you nothing.—P.C. Crawford said shortly after eleven on Saturday night he was called to 6, Dock Road, Yiewsley. He saw prisoner standing at the gate, and as soon as he saw witness he ran away. He ran after and caught him, and brought him back to the house. Mrs. Taylor was bleeding from the face, and she said: "He's knocked me about with some wood from the kitchen, and I wish to give him into custody." Prisoner was suffering from the effects of drink. The woman was in a very dazed condition. On the way to the station prisoner said he would have his neck stretched for her. Witness knew prisoner well: he was a loafer, and hardly ever did any work.—Prisoner now said that if it had not been for the "missus" it would not have occurred. She was under the influence of drink, and started the row by abusing him.—He was sent down for fourteen days.

EXCITING BURGLAR CHASE AT UXBRIDGE.

VIGILANT SERGEANTS COMMENDED.

Two watchful Uxbridge Police Sergeants were on duty in Uxbridge High-street, in the early hours of last Friday morning, when their attention was drawn by the noise of footsteps outside the Home and Colonial Stores. To the door they went and listened, and presently heard further sounds that of money falling to the floor. They then summoned a constable and stationed him near the front door of the premises while they went to the back and again waited. Presently their patience was rewarded for they saw a man climb over outhouses, and then jump over a gate into Vine-street. He made off in the direction of St. Andrew's Church, and although he could run he found the officers were by no means bad sprinters, and he was caught and secured.

The same morning at Uxbridge Police Court, Charles Taylor, a labourer, of no fixed address, was charged with feloniously breaking into and entering the Home and Colonial Store, High-street, Uxbridge, on January 25th, and stealing 13s. 3d. silver, and £1 0s. 4½d. bronze, the property of the Home and Colonial Stores, Ltd.

Station-Sergeant Franklin said at 4.10 a.m. in the morning, he was passing the Stores, High-street, in company with Sergeant Garwood. The premises are a lock-up shop. He heard somebody walking about inside and saw a light flickering through the window. He listed in the doorway and heard sounds as of forcing of woodwork and money being spilt on the fllor. He obtained the assistance of a constable, whom he placed at the front door, and with Sergeant Garwood went to the rear of the premises where he saw prisoner come from the back of the shop, climb over outhouses, which enabled him to gain admittance to Vine-street by climbing over the gate at the rear of the Town Hall. Prisoner made off in the direction of High-street, and witness and Sergeant Garwood gave chase, and caught him. Witness said to him, "What were you doing over the fences?" He replied "Nothing, I am going to work at Southall; I live round there" (meaning Vine-street). Witness noticed a white bag protruding from his waistcoat pocket, which he felt and found it contained coins. Prisoner remarked "That's only some coppers."

Witness told Taylor he should take him to the station for shopbreaking. On the way prisoner said "It's all money I've got from the shop, but 6s. 8d. mixed with it is my property. I'll be fair." Witness examined the premises which he found had been entered by breaking a portion of a window which had previously been broken, but repaired with brown paper inside and out. "2 0s. 3½d. was found on prisoner, including £1 0s. 6½d. bronze.—Prisoner was remanded, and on Monday further evidence was given by P.s. Garwood who said that in company with Station-Sergeant Franklin, he went to the Stores and saw Mr. Palmer, the manager. He picked up in the shop a lid of a Waifs and Strays box, and the other portion of the box was found by Mr. Palmer. He took it to the police station, and put it on the bench in the charge room. The prisoner saw it and said "There was not much in that."

Mr. Palmer, the manager of the Stores, stated that on January 24th, he locked up the premises, at 6.15, all windows and doors being securely fastened inside. No one resided on the premises. He was called to the police station at 4.30 on Friday morning. The till should have contained £1 13s. 7½d. On looking round the premises he saw signs of damage caused by someone trying to get money from the till.

The Bench committed prisoner for trial at the next Sessions. They also commended the police officers upon their smartness and excellent capture.
