t:,ontd know it again if he saw it. Pearkes undertook to uncover the
hiel, and went to the Tavistock Hotel, and had all the servants of
every descriprion into a room before him, and told them that another
robbery had taken place in the house; that a Bank note had been
st.leu, which had been under lock and key, not mentioning the cor_
sect amount. They all declared they knew nothing of such a note.
Pearkes informed tlntai, !hut none of them individually were sus.
eeled, but as a satisfaction they must all be searched as well as all
their boxes, which he proceeded to do. He found on Amos Crisp,
I i porter, some hank notes, and three keys, which he Chewed to Mr.
Harrison, and he identified a one pound Bank of England note to he
the one stolen oit of the dtawer, undone of the keys to be- a master
key, which he had mi,sed for some time, but concluded he had lost,
arid which nnl ,eked the drawer whence the note had been stolen,
which suflicietitly satisfed them that he was the thief: Pearkes took
Inn• into custody, acid having locked him up at the Brown Bear, he went
to seatch his residence, where amongst other things he found a gold
watch.

Thorsdav he was examined before Sir N. Conant and Mr. Birniet
when the circumstances were proved by Mr. Harrison and the officer.
Mr. Tiwoh, a Gentleman who was lodging in the Hotel some months
since, attended, and Fovea the watch to be his property, taken from
hi. chamber in the 'favistock Mac! on the 29th of jwie last.

The pii,oner, in his defence, said, lit found the watch in the privy.
Mr. Tulioh said, that was impossible, as he was certain he left it in
his dress►ntz case. This was chnfirined by a servant in the hour•, who
saw it in the dressinti case alter Mr. 'l'. went out. The prisoner was
fully committed for ilia'.

TZ ING 01.-1 nAce.---On Wednesday evening, about six o'clock,
Thomas Sanderson, a bas ket-maker of Paddington, went into the
N:ng and Queen public house on Paddington Green, and called for a
pot of porter, which he was drinkieg, while some willows were soaking
or a pond near the house. During that time he got into a dispute
•►ith a woman named Mary Ford, who was selling salmon. In a short
gin►' sift( r she left the house, a n►an named Thomas Hearn, with whom
Mary Ford cohabited, entered the room where Saunders, the basket-
maker' was sittinc, and without speaking a single word, or the least
provocation being given his►, he struck Saunders a violent blow with a
cutlass, which tee his head open ; Saunders., although wounded,
offered to fight Hearn, and was pre.ceedieg •ut of the house for that
purpose, but as he was going down the steps of the house, Hearn
in tae most barbarous wanner cut him several times with the cutlass ;
his wowids were then so numerous, and the discharge of blood so co.
pia•us, that he tell and went into violent hysterics. He was taken with
all possible speed to St. Ur:rage's ilospital.
Hearn esceped, dec:aring he would murder or blow the brains out of
any nom who auempred to attack him. Several of the inhabitants ap-
plied to the parish con-fable to apprehend him, as he was known to be
iu the house where he re,:d.,d, at he bottom of King and Queenlatd,
Paddington-gr:•en, bat le. .s as afraid to attack him. Some persons thee
went to the Bow.st:oet patrols, and found Limberick's party just come
on duty at Tyburn turnpike ; they went to the house,-knocked at the
door, arid demanded admittance; they were refused ; and Hearn told
them he would shoot an• man who dared to enter. Uudauntedly
Limberick proceeded t.' open a sliding witalaw, was about to get in
when Hearn attempted to put his threat in execution by shooting him.
He presented a large horse pistol, the barrel of which is nearly the size
of a blunderbuss, and pulled the trigger, but it did nut go otl.
Liur-
berick then aimed at him with a cutlass, to disable him from holding
the pistol, and cut his thumb ; notwithstanding which, Hearn presented
the pistol again when it tin tied in the pan; ;Ind Liwberick cut him
nate; succeeded in disabling him, and entered the house by the win-
dow, followed bv Lewis. At the etine time Bacon and Sessions, two
►►ore of the petrole, had forced their way in by the door They se-
cured Hearn, and found the cutlass with which he had wounded Saun-
ders on a bed. Mary Ford who culerbited with him, they had seen
holding another pistol iii her hand and standing near Hearn, but she
bad made her escape backwards. They afterwards discovered her con-
cealed in the privy of a house adjoining, :114d took her into custody.
All the above circumstances were pruve•,-t.
Hearn was fully committed on the charge of shooting at Lituberick,
and was committed for further examination till the fate of Saunders is
known.

Mary Ford was discharged; it appeared that she merely held the se-
cond pistol in her hand.
The pistol which liearn presented at Limberick was found to 'he
loaded with about 40 shot. Ile was a private watchman, on Padding-
ton- green.
