THE POLICE mann.

SOUTHWARK.

Coarane;sisiWlthlAA /raid, connected with a
amplest* gang of thieves, were placed at the bar before
Hr. Partridge, charged with garotting an old gentleman
named John Gottlieb Ulrich, and robbing him of a gold
watch and pocket-book containing valuable doenments,
near the Raliway Termini, London-bridge.
The prosecutor, who seamed to be suffering severely
from the injuries he had received, said he was a chrono-
meter and watch maker, at 56, Sydney-street, Stepney.
About • quarter to one that morning he was proceeding
along Wellingtonertrest, Borough, towards home, and just
as he had got to the steps lea ding to St. Saviour's Church
some one suddenly seized him by the throat from behind
and pulled him backwards. Cochrane was the man who
did that, as be saw his face by the gas light. He we then
thrown down with great violence, and nearly strangled.
The prisoner Smith fell on him, opened his coat, and
took the watch out of his left-hand waistcoat pocket, and
his pocket-book containing vahiable papers and memo-
randa connected with hie claim on the Admiralty.
While be was struggling on the ground for his life
• signal was made by some one near them, when the
prisoners released him, and ran away in the direction of
St. George's Church. He was so seriously injured that be
could not all out. In fact, he was moslysed, and unable
to get up and follow them. While he was try' to get
;Tea young was manosTeddwomßancitam,:aupdNivden
in
the heit:tiat
house, where he he shoratily afterwards saw th prisoners in
custody. He was sure the prisoners were ethe men who
assaulted him and robbed him, and he saw their fame
distinctly under the gaslight.
William Eircher, 236 11, said he took Cochrane into
custody, and banded the other prisoner over to 227 H
when they were both taken to the station-house and
identified. He knew Cochrane well as a desperate thief.
He was tried at the Old Bailey sessions, in 1866, for
highway robbery, and sentenord to twelve months' bard
labour, and forty lashes with the cat. He &leo believed
the other prisoner bad been convicted.
Mr. Partridge committed both prisoners to Newg•te for
triaL

James Brooke, • rough looking young man, who was
described as a labourer, was pissed in the dock before Mr.
Daymen charged with causing the death of Augustus
Thomas John Bullock, a lieutenant in the Royal Navy, and
the eon of Admiral Bullock, residing at No. 11, Bushy-
cottages, Teddington.
Mr. Edwards appeared for the prisoner.
Sergeant Willoughby, who watched the case on behalf of
the police authorities, informed the magistrate that the
coroner opened an inquest on Tuesday last, sad adjourned
it for a week.

William Hunt said—l live at 7, Star-place, North-end.
On Saturday evening, between 10 and 11 o'clock, I was '
inside Mr. Clhipperton's beershop having some beer. I saw
the prisoner wally in followed by the gentleman, and they
had a word. Brooks said, "My good friend, go away ; what
'do you want following me ?" I did not hear what the de-
ceased mid. It was about one word. The prisoner
bit the man directly the word was spoken on the
forehead with his fist, and he went down. The
I prisoner lifted him up, and stood him against the door.
He reeled round and fell through the door, down two
steps, on to the brick pavement in front of the house. The
prisoner then caught hold of his legs and pulled him
down another step into the road. The prisoner took hold
of his horse, his wife being in the cart, and drew it round
towards the &messed. My wife and two other women
screamed out, "He will run over him." I caught hold of
the deceased's legs and dragged him on to the path. I
cannot say whether he hied to run over him. I left the
deceased on the path. I did not hear him speak. He was
not sober. The prisoner did not appear to be very drunk.
He did not say anything when he stood him up against the
door. I did not hear him say anything when the deceased
fell out of the door. I amid not iv whether he was
bleeding or not. I was not at the inquest.
Other evidence having been given prisoner was re-
manded
