Medenei Munphy were brought up for re-examinalion,
charged with rabbis, Mr. &totter, a tailor, living in Union-
street, Lambeth, of 60 sovereigns, on the evening of Monday
week last.

In addition to the evidence already given, Jeremiah
Cronin maid that on the evening of Monday week, between
the hours of 6 and 7 o'clock, he was in the Waterman's Arms
publieehomes, Little Market street, Bermondsey, and saw
the prolocutor end the prisoner Murphy come there. The
prosecutor was very much intoxicated, end while in front of
the bar dottrel down on the odantar &small leather bag, which
from Its sound evidently contained gold, and maid there were 50
sovereigns in it. From the fermi with which it was thrown
the bag fell inside the bar, and the landlord requested
he would leave it la his hands for safe. y, and he would give
him • receipt for it, me that he might know where he left it.
The prolocutor refused to do so and replaced the bag in his
pocket. Murphy, who had drank • pint of beer at his ex-
pense, and also took up Ye. which the prosecutor had placed
on the counter and put them into his pocket, followed Mr.
&tither out of the house. Witness having no doubt, from
Murphy's manner, that his intention was to rob the prolo-
cutor, determined upon following them and giving the pro-
setutor into the custody of the Ant policeman he met.
While so following them, Murphy made use of the most vio-
lent threats to him for interfering, but he continued with
them until Veep met a policeman, named &oft, belotigins
to the M division, with whom he was acquainted,
end to whom he had mentioned the whole of the circum-
steams of tie prosecutor having • bag of gold in his pos-
session, and his saspleio• that Murphy intended to rob him,
sad adding that if the gentleman was robbed, after what he
had stated, it would be his (Scott's) fault, left the prosecutor
is the hands of that puma. Since that time he read an an
Mint of the robbery and the examination of the prisoner on
the charge at this court in the newspapers, and having little
doubt the parties were the sante, he felt it to be his duty to
omits forward m a witness.

Mr. Norton observed that the witness bad acted a very
proper part in the matter, and if the polios constable (Scott)
had only performed his ditty with equal propriety, the rob-
bery might have been prevented. The case was ens which
required the tact and vigilance of one of the " detectives "
to bring forward the necessary testimony tocomplete it, and
he should, therefore, remand the prisoner@ to another day,
in order that en experienced officer might be employed in
the case. The rasestrate directed that the landlord of the
Waterman's Arms, and also the constable Scott, should be in
attendance at the next examination.

Tee prisonen wire accordingly remanded, and bail for
their appearance refined.
