816 THE NATIONAL ACCIDENTS kN D OFFENCES. . DA RING ROBRERIES.—On Wednesday evening Mr. Clew low, of Norfolk-street, Secrelary to Admiral Sir Samuel . Hood, left London in a post-chaise for Portsmouth, when two large trunks were fastened nn the perch of the chaise. The post-bov, previa', to Mr. C's departure, informed him that the roads were much better by way of Putney to Kingston than the Wandsworth Road, and consequeotly the driver was ordered to proceed that way. After having got a short distance from Hyde-park-corner Mr. Clewlow thought he heard a noise, awl on looking on the perch he missed his trunks, and im►ne. diately alighted, mid made his way hack towards Ityde-park. corner. He discovered one of the trunks containing private pa pers, Ric. in the middle of. the turnpike road, bat the other trunk containing considerable valuables, was not found.— It is conjectured from certain circumstances that the rob bery was a premeditated one, and the officers belonging. to Marlborough-street Police-office, are endeavouring to trace the thieves. Another robbery was committed on the property 'of Sir S. Hood, at about the same time as the former. The Admiral's servant had been sent to fetch a small package from Phillimore place, Brompton, to his town-house in Wimpole-street, when the servant was met by a genteel dressed man, who rebuked him for being so long on his errand, as his mistress was waiting the arrival of the package, and that he was to return to Philli more-place to fetch another package. The robber by this arti fice got possession of the property, and the credulous servant returned to Phillimore-place as he was ordered. This pack age also cnntaiued valuables to a considerable amount, and on Sir Samuel Hood's Lady having been informed of the robbery, she gave information to the police, but the property has not been traced. EXTREME Carr Lrv.—A man of the name of Swiney, a shoemaker, in Monmouth-street, was charged with stabbing a patrole belong* to Hatton-Garden, in the execution of his duty. It appeared in evidence, that the prisoner had often been in confinement for barbarous treatment to his wife; and on Thursday night, althoaAli the wife was in the last mouth of her pregnancy, he brat her most unmercifully, broke her jaw -bone, and drew a knife on her, and swore he would murder her. The shrieks of the poor woman broJght some people to her assistance, whilst the brutal husband was standing over her with the deadly weapon, and would probably have put his threat into execution. The patrole, and two watehmeo, interfered, and took the prisoner into custody ; hut in doing so he stabbed the patrole twice in the stomach ; but providentially the bluntness of the weapon prevented a mortal incision.—The prisoner was fully committed for trials under the cutting and maiming act. We•find that the simple and unerring mode of using the new in invented hlsign...tie lor el.ables persons intuitively, to g hone with 441r0i t •v h.) could not before use it with efiCct.
