HOME CIRCUIT.—GurwroaD, Atrouer 8.
Cams Sam—(Before Heron Bramwell.)
MUM" 1101111311 T.
Allred Murray, 22, and Paine/ Wood, 30, were charged
with feloniously aseatilting and robbing Arthur Chandler of
a gold watch and other property.
Mr. Hasse conducted the prosecution, and in opening the
eau he said that it was one of those garotte robberies
that bad of late been of such frequent occurrence, and
Which had created so much alarm in the public mind.
Mr. Arthur Chandler deposed that he was a solicitor,
and resided et Umbel-tenses. Os Sunday evening, the
feth of July, about half-peat eleven o'clock, he was near his
beau oa his way home, and just as he got clots to his own
deer be heard footsteps behind him and was aud:sl4
asked round the throat, his breath wee nearly st
sad he was &boost strangled. He was held by two mos,
and a third men OM* up in front of him and jerked his
wade out of hie pocket, at the serne time saying "choke"
et "kill the he is too strong." He had apl tin view of
Ike man who hag his throat, and was quite we it was the
prisoner Murray. He also recognised the other prisoner as
or of the party, but he had not an opportunity of seeing
biro so well Ythe other. Witness was forced to the ground
and for a short time was needy unconscious, and when he
had slightly recovered, he saw the three men crossing the
road, and one of them had his bat in his band. The
primer Murray was taken into custody on the following
worming. and be recognised him immediately. The other
pruner was not apprehended until the following Wedges-
au. He added that he war unable to call out for assistance,
en account of the manner in which his throat had been
compressed.
The prisoner Murray put some questions to the
.prosecutor
with a view to show that he was mistaken as to his identity,
but he persisted in saying that he was positive he was use of
the men who attacked him.
Thomas Macaulay, police constable, proved that about
the time the robbery was committed be was on duty io
Kennington-road, when he saw three men running very fast
in a direction from the place where the prosecutor was
attacked, and he identified the prisoners as two of
thaw men. He heard of the robbery about two o'clock the
1111111110 morning, and he apprehended Murray in the course of
tie day. He subsequently apprehended the other at a
Inetliel where he lived, and the prosecutor identified them
Os moment he saw them._
_ _

Both prisoners when called upon for their defence asserted
that they were innocent, and Wood went into a Wog date-
moot, in which he argued at considerable length upon the
probability that the prosecutor or the policeman could have
identified him when they bad only so abort on opportuaity
of seeing him.
Baron Bramwell having summed up, the jury Acquitted
the prisoner Wood, and foaled Murray Guilty.
Lewis,GNryn 2l, tailor, was charged with a airruler
offeece upon Francis Judd.
Mr. Dukie prosecuted.
This case was sunder in its circumstances to the last. The
prosecutor was passing along Bermoudeeystrest, on his way
Lame, about eleven o'clock at night, when he was wailed
by three men, one of whom seized him by the throat, and
his watch wee then snatched from him, and he wee also
robbed of 2s. 9d. The melt then ran off, but a constable
who was coming in an opposite direotion stopped the pri-
soner sod one of the men, and after a short struggle he was
neared, and the prosecutor came up and identified him.
The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, declared
that be was innocent, and said that he heard the alarm and
be was running after the thieves when the constable
slCdhim
jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
Ackroyd, a constable of the F division, produced a art/.
Bats of the oeariction of the prisoner at the Middlesex
Benign is 1060 of • similar robbery, when he was sentenced
to two years' hard labour, end he had only been a very
abort time out of prison when this offence was committed.
At the time he was so convicted it appeared that there were
several other convictions for felony proved spinet him.
The other prisoner, Murray, was then placed at the bar,
and la answer to inquiries made by the leveed judge, it ap-
peared that he was Dot known to the police, and he most
eassestly asserted his innocence.
The learned judge in purling sentence said, that then)
offences it err of the most atrocious character, and people
IMO almost afraid to went in the streets at sight is come-
=of them. It was absolutely that they
be rapreseed by severe punishment, with regard
to the prisoner Lewis, he felt it his duty to sentence bite to
ninety yeare' penal servitude. As to the other prisoner,
be bad been convicted by the jury, and he was bound to
pan a sentence upon that conviction, but if hereafter he
abould be able to show that he had beau improperly con.
viand, he would in all probability have en opportunity of
dens so. At present, howeven be had no alternative but
to sentence him to tea years' peed servitude.
Murray left the bar scathing, and declaring that he was
innocent, but the other prisoner (Lewis) was very violent,
and threatened the pulioe-oMosir who had given evidesos
spinet him, that when he got out he would " hang" for
This concluded the criminal balances.
