MOST EXTRAORDINARY CASE OJF ROBBERY AND ATTEMPT AT MURDER. Edward Harris, (nicknamed " Kiddy" Harris,) aged 37 years, stood indicted for assaulting Sarah Drew, on the King's highway (in Hackney-fields, in the county of Middlesex) on the 3d October last, and stealing from her person 17s. (id., a silk shawl, and an umbrella, her moneys and property. The prisoner was a dec en t looking man—manly, bold, and apparently beyond the age stated. lie was quite cool and col lected throughout the whole proceedings. The trial excited great interest. The witnesses were ordered out of Court. Mr. ALLEY stated the case to the Jury, as it afterwards ap peared in evidence. Sarah Drew, the prosecutrix, examined.-.. Witness is servant to Mr. Hale, a master weaver, in WoodiSercet, Spitalfields. On the 27th September her master's liaise was robbed. On the day before the robbery she saw a person there, and mention ed the fact to the police officers. Tlte officers desired ber to go after that person wherever she might see him. She went, two days after the robbery, with two officers to a skittle. ground, where there wer e a great many men t ossing up half pence. When there, she saw one of the officers put his hand on the shoulder of the prisoner. Site did not hear what was said. Witness continued looking at the prisoner all the time the officer was talking to him, and observed him particularly. Witness did not know the man before ; he was not the man she had seen at her master's. She saw him afterwards in the same place on the same day. She observed him particularly the second time, and heard one of the officers say to him, " Kiddy, what brought you here ?" On the 3d of October she went to Shoreditch to hear a charity sermon. When she left home she had in her pocket five shillings, two half-crowns, eight shillings, and a sixpence. She gave a shilling to the charity. On leaving the church she saw the man who had been near her master's house out side the church-yard rails, leaning on them with both his hands. The officer desired her to keep him in view. She fol. lowed him accordingly down the Hackney-road, and then cross. ed over into a field, still pursuing him, till she came to the canal, which she passed over twice. It was day-light. She could see perfectly what occurred. She never lust sight of the person she was pursuing. On getting into the Hackney fields, she was met by the prisoner, who asked he r if s h e k new hint ? Upon which sh e sa id, " ilon't know you, sir;" but she said so front fear, as she had seen him with the officers.— The prisoner then beckoned, and another man came up, who 'instantly took hold of her arm. The prisoner had hold of her other arm, and desired the other man to put his hand over her mouth, which he did. That man h a d not hi ng in his hand. When hey had gone a yard or two farther, the prisoner crammed some hay in her mouth, and said to the other man, " Now hold your hand over this." Then the man whom s h e h a d followed joined the other man, and said, " Ott ! tl—n her, make her take off ier pattens, that she may go on faster." She was oblivd to take them off. They then hurried her on as fast as they could, holding her all the time. The prisoner said nothing, but still kept hold of her. At the end of the field they took her down a lane leading to a pond. The man whom she had followed cried out, "Oh ! ti—n her, drive her down faster." At the pond the prisoner took her umbrella and shawl, and pulled .a rope out of his pocket, saying, " I will hang her, and she can't swear against me then." Fhe other man, who held her arm, said, " Search her, and see what she has got." The prisoner did search her, and took front her her money, which he put into his waistcoat pocket, saying, " d—n the b—; they can' t swear to money." The prisoner and the other man then threw her over the rails into a pond. There was 'a great deal of water in it, and she was covered all over except her head. The man she had followed cried out, " d—n her, poke her under the water," and the prisoner replied, Oh ! she won't rise any more." That man, before she was thrown into the water, gave her a violent blow on the breast, and she fell back against the railS. When in the water, she heard one of them ask if her shawl Was all silk, and another of them chu:t7rinotaisywssr.sle'6o,'ne:ulie;.wtrtea:Onjeatuldito.'pttwt:oiianlierattieralrwuwkvilicet: iltiolociawlthnulen'lt'ayolissitnniii:eatnlilyinwthtialhen:lrigeperiensiiwltiataooeahiltiatcpitg;abstinte,o:Oolo:olziwielnnncrshged.julkstolhiaf:elett vont:shlia:htnesei got will r o-to the White Horse at Hackney, and regale ourselves." „c a ir f li ' a r t iii i i ii l eed o e. f t u il l t, e ia e i co t y i t n i g scao t %r h v e iti n iw i cote a id g u a rl i ne n r ) f tao s ss l she came passing aubbnyit who otu came s t e o so th to:psi sign She e i —Witness remained in the pond some time after, for she was o the Cat and Shoulder of Mutton. She afterwards went directly to the police office in a coach. She had not the slightest doubt as to the identity of the prisoner. She saw him several t and observed hint very much when he took the rope out of his pocket. Cross-examined.—lt was about one o'clock in the day when she had first seen the man at her master's house. It was about four o'clock when she went to the skittle-ground With the °dicers. On leaving Shoreditch church there was not any per son she knew. She went by herself in pursuit of the man, and did not ask any one to accoutpany her. The man whom she followed was walking on before her. It was a }Mille place, but no person was passing at the time when the two men laid hold of her arms. She was quite certain that no person passed at the time. She was so much alarmed by the sudden attack that she had not presence of mind to call nut. The men held her arms so fast that she could not disengage them, and when the second man iwne up they put the hay into hermouth, and one er, m d is of them held his hand over it. On being hurried to the pond idita:hgfsoteoik,tivel Lddk.ths,i rtri there she did not ace any person. She had never said, in any other place, that it' she had seen persons she would not have spoken. Site said, if persons passed her, they might suppose she was walking arm in arm. She passed some houses, but it was impossible for her to call out for help, the hay being in her mouth, and the man's hand over it. One aide of the pond opened into a field ; on the other side was a r a ili ng, an d oppo site to that was a edge. She was very much alarmed the whole way, but her senses never left her. There was a bit of wood in the pond, which she held by to keep herself up. She r emembered perfectly all that had occurred. She had related the circumstances twice before this time, at Hicks's Hall and Warship -street. She did not like talking about the attack to her friends, for it hurt her feelings. John Bradshaw, a labourer in the East India Company's service, stared that about ten minuted after six on the day in question, he was going, with another person named Field, over the Hackney-fields, he heard P cry, as if coming front a person in distress, on getting close to the pond, It was a female voice, and a woman cried out to him and " For God's sake, gentlemen, give me assistance, for I have been robbed by two, men, and thrown into the pond." Field and witness assisted her, and she was in a dreadful state, the lower part of her dress being all covered with mud. They took her to the Cat and Shoulder of Mutton, a distance of about half a Cross-examined.—Witness remarked . th at t h ey h ad not met a single person that upwardseve evening he gttitliceatfituelldds Shoulder ,s)afwitittwito. coming from the i Mut ton.

James Handley, another constable, corroborated the evidence of the last witness, and stated that on coming to the skittle. ground a second time, the prosecutrix saw the prisoner, but said she did not know him • witness told her in case she ever saw a man they were looking for to watch his motions, see where he went to, and then come to the police-office. Witness saw the woman on the 4th of October, after he and four other officers had ap prehended the prisoner. They went to the gambling ground in Wentworth -street, and witness saw a woman run ftom thence into a public-house called the Princess of Wales. Witness followed her, and saw another man and the prisoner running out. Witness said to the prisofter, " Stop Harris, I want to speak to you." He then laid hold of him, and threw him on a bench. He told him he apprehended him on suspi cion of robbing and ill-using a woman m Hackney-fields. The prisoner said it was very hard that nothing could be done amiss without his being charged with it. On the 4th October wit. ness accompanied - the prosecutrix to the pond, and she described where she hail been thrown. Cross -examined—Witness did not know the name of the street where the prisoner lived. The house where he lived was about half a mile from Shoreditch church, and the distance from that to the pond was one mile, four furlongs, and two hundred yards. At the time the prisoner was apprehended, he had not said that he had been at home on the night before, but he said so in the course of the day at the police-office. The shawl and umbrella were here produced, and identified by the prosecutrix. Joshua Armstrong, another constable, produced one of the flattens which he had received from a person named W00d._... `Witness heard the prisoner say, " I can prove where I was ; I was at home in bed from two o'clock in the afternoon till eight in the evening." Vann, another police officer, also stated that he hail heard the prisoner say that he had been at home from two o'clock till eight in the evening. He produced a rope which a witness named Stratton, who is a gardener, said he had found in the London Fields on the 20th of October. Ile saw it lying about twenty yards frons the pond. He took it to Worship-street, and gave it to a police-officer named Garton. Garton being called, identified the rope, and said he had shown it to the prosecutrix, who said that the rope she had seen with the prisoner was platted at one end, but the rope now pro duced was platted at both ends. In every other respect the de. scription answered. Ldward Wood, a cow-keeper, at Dalaton, stated, that on theolay in question he was in the London Fields about twenty minutes past six, and picked up a pair of pattens near the side of the foot-path. The spot where he ibund them was about 240 yards from the pond. He took them home, and after. wards delivered them to the officers when they were dragging the pond. The prosecutrix identified the pattens, and stated, that the witness had described correctly the place where she had taken them off: The witnesses Bradshaw and Field being again called, said, they had seen the shawl and umbrella with the prosecutrix, but they were not wet. The case for the prosecution being closed the prisoner in defence called some witnesses with an attempt to prove an alibi. Elizabeth Barris, the prisoner's daughter, stated that her father lived in George-street, near Banbury's brew-house. Neither witness nor her sister lived at home. Vileness lived with a Mrs. Walker, in Carter's Rents; It was near where her father lived. On Monday morning she heard of her father being apprehended. On the *nudity, within five minutes to six o'clock, she went out to buy apples at the house of a person named Marshall, opposite her father's. She saw her father in his shirt sleeves as she was passing the window. She knew the time particularly as she had au opportunity of looking at the brew-house clock. Cross-examined.--Witness had been walking from half-past two till six, when she went to buy the apples, and saw her father. Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Marshall were at home. Wit ness had been at church on that day. She had seen her father two or three days before. She did not go into his house. Wit ness's sister lived with her at Mrs. Walker's, who is a silk weaver. Witness met her sister by accident in Brick-lane about half -past three. She went to Spitalfield's church, but did not go in at the beginning of the service. Witness's sister dined that day at her father's. After she bought the apples, she sat about three hours on the steps of Mrs. Walker's door, but did not see her sister conic in. Brick-lane is at the end of the street where Mrs. Walker lived. Mrs. Walker did not walk with witness. Mrs. 'Walker was at home between six and nine. The clergyman was preaching when witness went into church. lle was dressed in white. In answer to a question from the Learned Judge, she said she could not read anything but figures. Her father generally went to bed on a Sunday of an afternoon. This witness gave her evidence in a flippant and contradictory manner, and did not appear at all moved by the awful situa tion in which her father was placed. Richard Marshall stated that the last witness had often bought apples from him. On the day in question she came to his shop and bought a penny worth of apples from him about five minutes belbre six. Ile did not see the prisoner on that day. Cross-examined.—llis attention was called to the hour, be cause he had asked a person the time of the day a short duae before she came in. Edward Harris, a boy ten years old.—The day before my hither was taken up, I was sent by my mother to the chapel ; returned from the chapel between 6 and 6 o'clock, and found my father and mother at tea; after tea my father sat at the fire till it o'clock ; I went to bed at the usual hour. Cross-examined—My father had no coat or waistcoat on ; he had a violent cold; it was to Spitalftelds chapel I went; the clergyman was in a black gown ; 1 got there about 10 minutes after o'clock. The witness, in his further examination by the Judge, stated that he never remembered his father go to bed in the day on Sunday; witness did not see his sister when at chapel that day. Ann Harris.—l remember when my father was taken up.— I dined with my father the day before (Sunday). I stayed till three o'clock. My brother went to chapel. I wen; a wa y t o airs. Walker's at three o'clock, to clean myself. I returned to my father's after cleaning myself. My Either was then in bed asleep. His clothes were on, exc e pt hi s coat and waist coat. I took a walk then, and ret urne d b etween nine and ten to Mrs. Walker's. 1 s a w my sister sittin ■ on the steps of t h e door. I went to bed a t h a lf-p ast ten o'clock. 31y sister slept with me. 4;l . ms-examined—My father was very ill on the Monday.-- Ile used sometimes to go to bed on a Sunday. Thomas Yardley-._l know where Harris lived. I know him by sight. 1 live near him. I was at home on the afternoon of Sunday, and was at my window. I saw a person I believed to be Harris in hie own house. He appeared to come out of bed ; he had part of his clothes off. 1 called my wife opposite to see him, he being a noted character. Heir fighting man. When heard he was in custody I went to Newgate to identify him, and see if he was the man that was in the house when I was at the window. 1 did not hear of his being taken up till Friday. Cross-examined-1 did not know Harris, yet I tools the trouble to go and see if it was the same man at Newgitte. Mrs. Yardley, wife to last witness--I saw Harris in his house from my window on the evening of the Sunday. lie was in his shirt sleeves. I was called up by my husband to see Harris. He said, " That is giddy Harris, who was going to fight with my brother." James Norwood—l am apprentice to Mr. Yardley. I saw !Jerrie at his window the Sunday before the Monday when he was token up. By the Ju nos—My master told me that Harris was t a ken, up on the Monday. John Jones—l saw the prisoner on Sunday at half-past five in the evening. 1 went into the house to see my brother. I saw the prisoner. If lie had gone out I must have seen him go out. Esther Jones, sister-in-law to last witness, lives in the same house with the prisoner. She confirmed the testimony of the last witness as to the fact of the prisoner not going out to their knowledge. Mr. Justice PARK expounded the evidence, showing the agreements and contradictions with great particularity. The Jury retired at fifteen minutes past six o'clock, and at twenty minutes before seven returned a verdict of—Guilty. The prisoner said, with perfect composure, " My laird, I'm quite satisfied with my trial; but I'm an innocent man—upon my word SPECIMENS OF CREDEJLITY. Lord BACON, in his Essay on Truth, tells us' that " a mixture of a lye loth always add' plea.; sure." We therefore recommend the following extracts from a dull book, published at the be , ginning of the 17th century, and entitled " Mira- cults Mortuorunt et rivorum," to the fnture edi tors of the life of that renowned adventurer Barad Munehausen. The author of it was a Gemini jurisprudent, named Henry Kornmann, who hi represented by I3ayle to have been a profound scholar, and a very ravenous devourer of learn ing. Lie has no claim to originality of Invention but as to readiness in believing the inventions of others, he is clearly without a rival. We subjoid fa tiw instances of the gravity with. which he re: tails and propagates the most monstrous absurdi ties. In describing the wonders that are to he found in the South Sea, he tells us that Diodorui the Geographer writes, that " there is an island in it, where the inhabitants are each four cubitst taller than the inhabitants of Greece and Italy. - their bones are not hard, but flexible like nerves —their tongue is divided in two from the roots, so that they can keep up a conversation with one mau with one half of their tongue, and wick another with the other at the same time." Al luding to the Molueca Islunds, he assures us with inimitable simplicity, that " in the island of Gyloe, which is one of them, there is a nation with ears so large, that they hang down to their shoulders, and that in another island close by it; there is a nation with ears still longer. The in habitants of it are accustomed, when they go to sleep, to lay down on one ear and to cover them: selves up with the other! !!" This story, he informs us, is to be found in that celebrated author, Maximilianus Transylvanus, of whose celebrity, however, we are at this time of day unfortunately very ignorant. A knight of the name of Piga-' fetta pledges his credit for the truth of it, as any of our readers may see, who choose to refer to his history of the Essandies. To match this people, who make coverlets of their ears, the worthy German informs us that there are a people in India who make a parasol of their foot. This story rests on the authority of Solinus, who, its his 53d chapter, enlightens the world by telling it, that 4 4 there is a nation of one-eyed people in India, who, though they have only one leg, are still endowed with singular fleetness. When they want to protect themselves from the heat, they fling themselves on their back, and recline under the ►hude of their foot, which is immensely large." Ile likewise quotes a sentence from St. Augustin's 87th Sermon to his brethren lu the wilderness, which puts it beyond all doubt that there are such beings in the world as men who wear their heads, or rather their eyes, beneath the shoulders. This eccentric saint says, " When I was bishop of hippo, I w ent with some servants of Christ into Ethiopia with the intention of preaching our holy religion. There we saw many men and women, not having any beads, but large eyes fixed in their breasts. Their other members were like our own." Pliny, Mela, and Solinus all speak of their existence of such persons ; but 'lotte of them was so favoured by fate as to he permitted a sight of them. St. Augustine, however, was more fortunate—he saw them, or at least he Says Le saw them; and who would disbelieve the word of a saint I St. Augustine, in his treatise " D Ci. vitole lei, lib. ti. cap. 8." pledges his - saintly word that there is in Ethiopia a nation' which has no mouth or tongue, but which lives entirely upon air; but he dues not say whether these sin gular persisus fell under his own inspection.— The r e thiss c () n il s t ory „t. tioi k ot,w extant oiideivi o .i f s abir a ychhea t i l l e sda m i til‘ e sgvl s ill t oie t o k ps e isp, aoe o d..f f the Worthy Bishop of Hippo, which may serve to amuse some of our friends in the neigh. bourhood of Dorchester, who may perhaps be kind enough to inform' us whether any of the family mentioned in the following extract from the life of Gregory the Great, by a nameless writer quoted by Kortimann, are yet, existing in that part of the Country. 66 When Augustine, the Monk, was sent into England by Gregory the Great to preach the Gospel, he was ridiculed and insulted by a family in Dor theater, who pinned frog-tails (runarunt &Judas) to his garments. From that day all the descend- ants of that unfortunate family have been born, like beasts, with a long tail." Our paper a few days ago gave au account of a servant girl who• was rehtored to life after she had been con sidered dead for five or six days. This would not have appeared at all extraordinary for our learned German; for he assures us that ~ G oc oN ii , a n e phew of the Archbishop of Cologne, as he was crossing the Rhine in hips' childhood,, fell out of the boat Into the river, and in spite of the efforts of his attendants sunk and was no more seen. Fifteen days afterwards he was fished out of the river (sapiscutus 'est.) As they were taking him to church to bury him, he surprised his pall-bearers by starting out of his coffin, and telling there that they need not go nay farther, us he was quite alive."
