A BLIND Balton was on Tuesday brought
tip, chard.,,,] by Mr. John Blum with stop-oing hint on the highway and
robbing him of his wmeh. Mr. Binn sated, that lie had born spend-
ing the evening on the previous Friday with some friends, and was on
his way la:ion:between one and two o'cloek on Sistunlay morning, when
he was stopped by the prisoner in Little Guildford-street, who seised
the prosecutor by the enllar with one hand, and with the of ter pulled•
his watch out to his fob. The proseCutor had been drinking freely ;
but perceiving what the prison.:r was about, he seized him in his turn,
:ind called loudly th r the watch, when Willi tras, a watchman, came
up. Oa Williams's approach the prim, 'r threw the watch away.—
Williams stated, that he thtond the prosecittor struggling with the pri-
soner. On hearing Mr. Ilinn's story, he teak the prisoner into etraody.
The case of the watch he found within a sew yanls of the place, and the
wntch itself' was picked up near the snot by a woman who came up at
the time. It now appeared, on farther investigation, that the prisoner
was a blind mendicant, well known to the officers. On being ques-
tioned by the Magistrate he denied the charge altogether; but not
being able to account satlfactorily for being out at that late hour, lie
w,.5 committal fir re-examination.

the nfi ec. chn-;,red with att...npting to murder Thomas Casey.
It appeared from llolm lies statement. that on Sunday moruing, about I
one o clock. he Mai smt tor, and informed that an attempt had been
made to neiriltr a man at a house in Duke-street, St. George's. He
immediately 'nett to the house in question, where he found Casey lying
on the floor. weltering in his bloat. having received a severe wound by
a sharp instemnent. wMeh had passed through both his checks and
lacerated his throat in a de:vein:is manner. From the account which
the woanded man gave, it appeared that the prisoner, who Leal with
him, and with whom he had tor some time past cohabited, was the
.per-
son who wounded him, and fiat site did it with an oyster knife. Upon
this statement llohnes took the prisoner into custody. On searching
the back premises, an oyster knife, covered with blood, was found ;
which, on being shewu to the wounded man. he recognised as the knife
in question. Casey was taken to Guy's hospital. when.• he remains in
a dangerous state; and the woman was committed, by Mr. Chambers,
for re-examination.

of money, the proper. y of his employers, Messrs. Cosnyii and Donald-
