and two pieces of corduroy, of the make of 10f.
Zee comple'nant stated that on Saturday, the 24th of
Atitivit, be left his shop properly fastened up, and on the
moi.,;ng he bound it broken open and the pro:

Emily Stevens said—l have been cob thiting with the pri-
soner for about four years, but have boen separated from
bim for about six weeks. Between I and 2 o'clock on the
morning or Sunday, the 24th of I was in bed in a
room I occupied at Drummond-cresce-it. W hen he opened
the door I saw he had got a large bundle, which I thought
was a beil,and I said, " What have you got there, Frank!"
He said, " What is that to do with you ? I am
going to leave it here." He did so and went out,
and then I examined the bundle, and found it contained
13 pit of molokin trouser', a piece of cloth, and other
articles. When he came back I asked him where he had
got them from, and he said that he and three others had
taken them from the tailor's shop in Skinner-street,
Somers-town. I said, " You bed better take them
away from here, I do not want them beer." Ho
said he would do so in the morning. In the morning
he brought two gentlemen to purchase the goods, but
they did not do so. The next mousing he took out two
pairs of trousers and be told me afterwards that they bad
been pawned in Briny-lane by a young woman that so-
habited w ith one of the men that "ssionrd him. Ho after.
wards took out the other things, and I saw him pawn
them.

Police-constable Rankin, 335 N, said—From informa-
tion I received I this morning took the prisoner into
custody, and told him it was on a charge of committing •
robbery in Skinner-street. He said. " I know nothing of
it." I searched him, but found on him nothing relating to
the robbery. He afterwards said, "I am innocent."
Several of the articles stolen were produced in court by
different pawnbroker'.
The prisoner said that he had lived with the witness for
about four years, and about five weeks ago she brought
"these here things" int" his room. There were two others
with her, who were strangers. When she brought them is
he told her that he would not have any more to do with
her nor yet with the stolen things she brought into the
house. He left her on the same night and went home
to his mother's. She saw him on the following night,
made use of bad language to him, and asked him to come
and live with her again. He told her he would not,
and she then said that he should not live with
any one else, for she would " lag " hint for these things
she had stolen. The polieeman had got one t'cket of a
pair of trousers she pawned in her own aline. There was
another robbery she was wanted for—a watch she had
stolen. He then called .

Midget Gales,l lite mother, who said she resided at
37, West-street, Euston-road. About three weeks sr, on
a Saturday evening, she met the witness, who wanted ber
to have something to think, but she refused, and went
home. The witness afterwards called on her. and said
that if her (witness's) son did not live with her she would
lag him. She then handed witness a pawnbroker's dnpli-
duplicate relating to • pair of formers, and asked her to
take are of it. They were pledged in her own name, and
she said they were her own, and were worth 2Re., and
that she intended toget them out sod sell them. From what
she afterwards heard about the robbery, she sent the
ticket to the pollee-station addressed to Detective Connor,
Somers-town police-station.
Police-constable Cormor, 211 Y, admitted having re-
ceived the duplicate referred to by the previous witness,
and produced one relating to some of the prosecutor's
property, that the prisoner bad sold to somber man.
Mr. Barker remanded the prisoner for a week.
