dle.rander Lce;alis• Charles Munroe, a fellow well known
to the police, reading at Brighton-street, Bt. Pancras, was
charged before Mr. Barker with wilfully assaulting a country-
man of the mime of Dark, and stealing from hie person a
small sum of matey in Chichester-plans, Grey's-inn-lane.
Mr. Wakliog appeared for the prisoner.
The prisoner, who belongs to a gang of notorious thieves
and burglan, was sun, on Thursday night, by the police
loitering about the Gray'rion-road. Between 12 and 1 the
prosecutor, who was rather the worse for liquor,
was coming along when he was suddenly ruined
upon by the prisoner and two of his companions, and pinioned,
whilst the prisoner rifled the prosecutor's pocket. The
prosecutor, nothing alarmed, seised hold of the prisoner and
pushed him against the wall, and then caught hie hand as
he was removing it from his pocket. The orisoser's com-
panions made their escape, but the prisoner was appre-
hended, and, upon being searched, money similar to that
stolen from the prosecutor was found in the lining of bin
trousers pocket. The prosecutor was not much hurt,
although the prisoner wu violent.
Police-sergeant Gescoigne, of the E division, said he mow
the prisoner take his hand bum the prosecuor's waistcoat
pocket.. The prisoner had been convicted four times at
this court on charges of felony.
Both the prosecutor and the sergeant were cross-examined
as to their different statements, sia, the taking the money
from the trowsers pocket and the waistcoat pocket, but
they both adhered to their original statements.
lir. Baker said that there could be no doubt what the
prisoner was there for, and he should sentence him to three
months' hard labour in the House of Correction. If it bad
not been for the discrepancy in the evidence, the prisoner
would bays been sent for trial.
