—Thomas Brookes, who stood charged with the wilful
murder of William Gobart. was finally examined. The de-
positions of the witnesses were now completed and read over
by Mr. Herbtone, the second clerk, and the prisoner, who
was obviously still labouring under the same physical: and
mental debility he had exhibited at the previous examina-
tions, declined saying anything in answer to the charge,
and was fully committed for trial.
MARLBOROUGH - STREET. DARING HIGHWAY
ROBBERY,—William Wynn and Louisa Higgins were re-
examined, charged with highway robbery on Marshall
Jones, a carpenter. —The complainant was walking home on
Monday, about one o'clock in the night, when he was sud-
denly enrreunded and hustled by scvsrai persons. The
female prisoner threw her arms round him, and the male
prisoner thrust his hand into his pocket. In the struggle he
was thrown down, when the parties left him, and he tried
to rise, but before he could do so the prisoner Wynn came
back and kicked him violently on the head, saying,
" I know you have some money." The kick deprived
witness of his senses for a short time- A police constable came
up on hearing his cries, and he told bim what had occurred.
Witness afterwards went to a house with the policeman,
and there found the two prisoners, whom he recognised as
the persons who had been the most active in robbing him.
He had about li. 14s. in one of his pockets, which escaped
the notice of the prisoners, but a pocket in which he had
some keys was torn from his coat, and it was afterwards
picked up near where he was kicked.—Mr. Hardwick
said he should commit both prisoners.
LAMBETH.—PASSINO FORGED CHEQUER. William
JoAn Jackson was finally examined on a charge of passing •
forged cheque for 101. 2s. 4d. upon Mr. Miller, of Bridge-
rout, Lambeth. On the 22nd of January last the prisoner
called at Mr. Miller's shop, and said his master, Mr. Allen,
of Tooley-street, had desired him to call to receive some in-
structions relative to some stamps which he required from
the Stamp-office. Witness gave him the required inforina
lion, upon which the prisoaer said he had to pay for the
stamps out of a cheque he produced, and his master would
'thank Mr. Miller to change it. The prisoner then Landed
him the cheque, which was signed " John William.," and
said that his muter received it from a customer that morn-
ing. Witness believing his statement, and knowing that
the prisoner had been an apprentice to Mr. Allen, at once
gave him the money, but subsequently discovered that the
cheque was a forgery.—Mr. James Allen deposed that the
prisoner had formerly been an apprentice of his, but he had
left his employ, and that he had net seen him since June
or July last. Me had no customer of the name of John
Williams, nor did he know anything whatever of the cheque
produced.—Alfred Jackson, aged 14, the brother of the pri-
soner. stated that about 10 weeks ago he was in the service
of Messrs. Skipper and East, of Tower-street, and recol-
lected his brother coming to him about that time and &eking
him to procure him a blank cheque, saying he had some to
bind and wished to know the exact size and measure. Wit-
ness at his request asked Day, one of the printers, for a
'blank cheque, but that person refused him. The prisoner
then told him to ask Mr. Midwinter, the foreman, for a
sheet of the blank cheques, and to say they were for
Mr. Attiwell. He did so, and received a sheet of the bank
forms. They were of the same form as that produced.—The I
prisoner did not deny receiving the blank cheques from his
brother, but said he was truly sorry to have been the cause
of the lad leaving his situation. 'litre cheque, he said. had
not been filled up by him, but by a person named George
Richardson, sad he was persuaded to do as he had done.
The_prisisser was tally committed.
