GUILDHALL.

Win. Law, • young fellow, Vrbowudrened as • seaman,
and described himself is • watchmaker was charged before
Alderman Kochi with stealing • watch, value 42., from the
person of Thos. Green Beaumont, under the following cir-
cumstances.
The prosecutor said he was employed in • manufacturing
firm in Yorkshire, sad being up in London yesterday morn-
ing he started out with three gentlemen and a female friend
to go and see the woman Wilson hanged at Newgats. On
arriving at the top of the Old Bailey he suddenly found the
prisoner close to Lim with his (prosecutor's) watch in his
hand, and in the act of biting off the swivel to detach it
from the guard. He mixed his arm, but not before begot it
behind him and pissed the watch to some one in the crowd.
When taken into custody the prisoner's teeth were bleeding.
Ellen D•rlington said she was staying at the same hotel
with the prosecutor. She went out to witness the execu.
tion, and was present when her friend lost his watch. She
saw the gaud drop from the prisoner's right hand.
Springate, the gaoler, said the prisoner had been in cus-
tody at this court before, and had only recently come out
of prison.
Alderman Kochi said it was very questionable conduct on
the part of the prosecutor in taking a young woman to an
execution, particularly the execution of • female ; but it
was no justification for the prisoner's robbing him of his
watch, and if the witnesses were resident in London be
would certainly commit the osse for trial. Under the cir-
cumstances he should send the prisoner for three months to
the House of Correction with hard labour.
