TOMBS POLICE COURT. ‘Taking a Trunk—Attempted Burglary—Robbing the Landlord—Clearing Out a Wardrobe— Borrowing a Dog-A Brandy Case—An Old Acquaintance—Running the Rail- ways—Back Before His Time— On the Road Again. Before Juage Hogan. ‘The confidence in human nature with which some | people are blessed is astonishing. Mrs. Hall is one of those ladies who trust too implictuy in the good intentions of persons who may approach her. On the 4th of July this lady arrived in New York py one of the Fall River steamers and handed the check for her baggage to a man named Morris Hem- ingway, giving him instructions to deliver it at the Brooklyn House, Hamilton avenue, Brooklyn. Morris got the trunk and kept it; but what be has since dope with the $265 worth of wardrobe it contained he has refused to say. As he failed to turn up at the hotel with the property Mr. Dunford Hall caused his arrest, and he is now held to answer for the Mberty he has taken with other people's goods. Another young man who dips into ways ont of the beaten track of honest citizens is Mr. John Mc- Carthy, of 26 Mulberry street. He made @ visit to te store of Falk Brothers, at 114 Church street, for die purpose of helping himself to some of HE LARGE QUANTITY of clothing piled up in that establishment. Jonn did not go in as most other people do, at the front door boldly. Onthe contrary, he sneaked in and hid himself in the loft, waiting an opportunity to escape with some booty. He was discovered, how- ever, while he was meditating a magnificent plan for getuing away, by Mr. Andrew Wilson, a clerk in the establishment, Wilson shouted at the thief, but he, got no reply, and John immediately wok to his heels, He was captured in the street by a police- man aud charged yesterday with attempting to Steal goods valued at $350.
