MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
311101:71AR CRAWL OF 110182 ErTIAUZIO, &O.

Woo7lt ant and
as groans, were charged before Mr. Tvrwhitt with stealing
• horse and harness, of the value of 851., the property
Sir Henry Rich, of 18, Curzon-street, May-fair, and the
prisoner William was further charged with robbing his
master, Dr. Matthew Henry, of 5, Harley-street, of money.
The prisoners were taken into custody by Sergeant Edward
Langley, of the detective department, Scotland-yard,
accompanied by King, 78 D, at Margate, to which place
they had made their way a day or two previous, and where,
in a stable the prisoners had taken, several other horses
were found.

Sir Henry Rich said—l bought a horse some two months
ago at Tattersall's, and I gave I believe 51 guineas
for it. My coachman not liking it, and as I felt
dissatisfied with it, I told him to take it to Tatter-
sall's and sell it, but not meeting with • CAIMOMIR
the horse was brought back to my stables. I them
told my coachman to Hod • mu chimer for it, and to let
me know the price. A day or two after my coachman told
me that be bad been *fiend 12 guineas for it, and I told
him to let it go for that. He then told me that the
person who wanted it was the owner of some oaks and
that he wanted the hone to remain in my stables
• short time, and he gave me IL, which
he had received as a deposit for the hone. I told
my coachman not to let the horse go till the remainder of
the money was paid, but on Thursday lad my ooachmaa
came to me, and said that he had had a misfortune, that
the man had called and salted him to let him have the horse
out for an hour, and that he had consented, and that he had
not brought it back. I then communicated with the polies
at Scotland-yard. I wish also to state that 1 have no reason
to suspect my coachman.
Joha Wood, coachman to Sir Henry Rich, said—l agreed
to sell the hone for 12 guineas to the prisoner William.
Both prisoners came to see the horse three time., and on
the last 001,410,11 the prisoner Shelton came and said he
wanted the hone out for one hour, and I consented, and the
prisoner having put some of Sir Henry's harness on the
horse, took it away, and never brought either the horse or
the harness back.

e;t Edward Langley mid—From information I re-
ceived at Shooter's-hill, I. in company with King, 76 I),
tracked the prisoners to Margate on Saturday lad, the pri-
soners having been seen with a light horse and cart and lead-
ing another along the road On going to the dableof Mr. Law-
rence, Addinztou.street, Margate, I found the horse belonging
to Sir Henry Ricb, the rnais. , and four other horses which,
I have reason to believe, although claimed by the prisoners,
belong to other persons. On taking the prisoners into
custody I found a receipt for the 21. deposit for the horse.
One of the prisoners surd he had the horse from Sir Henry
Rich.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—Coachman, did the prisoners say anything
about going out of town ?
The coselmen—Not a word, sir.
Sergeant Langley—The prisoner William while on our
way to London said they drove their own home down and
held Sir Henry's, and that they had a good deal of trouble
in getting it down to Margate. There was another charge
against the prisoner William of robbing bin master to some
extent.

After some disctusion between the prosecutor in the
second case, the magistrate, and the officers, the second
case was postponed till Tuesday next, to which day the pri-
soners were remanded.
