soner walked to the front and whipped a coat a the rail.
He then moved a quickly, bused down a narrow passage,
put on the coat, turned round a different person, walked at
and joined his companion at the King William Caine.' I
ran up, collared him, and charged him with the robbery, and
held him until a policeman come up end took him out of my
hands. Tne amo:iste of the primmer escaped, end the driver
of the cart had disappeared while I was engaged in following

The prisoner was seen following the gentleman in • very

then drew out the handkerchief and temskered it to his own
pocket; but just as he was about to nee it with Lie nose, he
was apprabended by a pole:masa, sad the gentleman at once
identified the handkerchief.
Committed for three months to the House of Correction.
