It was contended by Mr. Cobb that the money was
t9ken by the women alluded to. In reply to Mr. Clough,
the witness said she heard the man asking for his
money in the morning. This witness swore that the pro-
secutor subsequently went out with a woman, but on being
closely pressed she admitted that she did not see him go out
or come in again. George Watts, a sailor, who lodges at the
prisoner's honse, said he let the prosecutor in after twelve

o'clock. John Forbes proved that he was at the Theatre
with the prisoner the previous night. The prosecutor was
again called, and denied that he left the house after he went
in first. His Worship sent the prisoner for trial, but said
he would take two sureties in £lOO each for his appearance.

THE CHANNEL SQUADRON. —The progress made by the
crews of the Channel Squadron in Bantry Bay is very
satisfactory. The Royal Albert' and Racoon are generally

the smartest in their evolutions, which comprise-shifting
topsail-yards, furling sails, shifting topgallant-masts, and
jibbooms, getting ont stream anchors and cables, &c. We
only hope that these exercises will not be carried too far ;
but we rely upon the gallant Rear Admiral's discretion in
the matter.— United Serrice Gazette
