GUILDHALL —Mr. Joseph Dobson and Mr. Henry Millington,
were charged with assaViting Nit-. Hodges, of Millbank, Westm'nster.
The complainant, it apreared, was returning from the country
through Snfthfield, at eleven o'clock at night, and, having alighted
from his gig to put on his great coat. the defendants, who were half
seas over, approached, and desired to have a ride in his vehicle : he
resisted their demand, and they in consequence grossly assaulted both
him and his servant. The watchman coining up, they were secured,
and on coining to their senses were most anxious to make the amends
honorable. The Sitting Alderman reprobated their conduct in strong
terms, but upon their agreeing to make a handsome subscription to
a charitable institution, and to apologize, they were discharged with
a snitahle adinrinition.
1. Green, J. Brees, and Garner. were charged by Mr. Taylor,
of 'Bow- lane. with stealing a considerable quantity of skins from h's
premises. A man "tamed Pigey was likewise charged with receiving
those goods, knowing them to have been stolen. Mr. Taylor having
suspicions of Green's dishonesty, accused him of having stolen some
skins, and -after some hesitation he confessed his guilt, and impli-
catel the other prisoners. This led to an investigation of the con-
duct of the whole, and by the assistance of Brown, the officer, it was
aAcertained Old a system of plunder had been going on for years. and
that the property stolen had always been taken to the house of Pigey,
in Clerkenwell. This man's house was searehed, and in it was found
a considerable quantity of goods, the property. of Mr. Taylor. The
prisoners wrre remanded for further examination.

Thurialay morning, the fonr Malayans found guilty at the Admi-
ralty Sessions, underwent the sentence of the law at Execration-
dock.
Lately, at Islington, a person, dressed like a gentleman, called
at a house, and inquired if any of the lodgers were at home; being
answered in the negative, he very deliberately walked into the back.
parlour ; when the lady of the house followed him, he asked again it
aity of the servants were in the way; the lady replied that she was
the only person in the house. He then jumped up from the chair,
and placing her in it, be said be only wanted to find her, alone,
and at the name time presented a pistol to her breast, and Awore he
would blow her brains out, if she made any noise. The lady fainted,
and When she awoke found the man was gone, taking with him a
silver watch, a gold ring, three pounds in notes, and some other
articles altogether about the value of 81.
On the evening of the 30th ult. about siz o'clock, as Mr. War. Hat-
ton, jim. of Astwood, near Newport Pagnell. was travelling through
grounds belonging to Mr. Goodman, North Crawley, he was stopped
by two armed footpads, who robbed him of nearly 4001. in bank-nuns,
the greater part of which were 301. Bank of England notes. Tin
rubbers were dressed as countrymen.

. . • .
On Sunday evening; as Mr. Nadi. Crossland, of Sutton-street'
Clerkenwell, was renaming from Highgate, he heard groans of the
most distressing nature ; he followed the sound to a lane leading to a
larm, up wkich lie proceeded about twenty yards, where he found
a man lying on the ground, apparently in a very distressed-state,
who; after some hesitation, informed him that he had been robbed,
ill-treated, and left in the helpless state in which he was found ;
when, just as he was about to raise the man up, a fellow rushed from
behind the hedge, and knocked him dowu with a bludgeon, on
which the man on the ground instantly got up, who no doubt had
been making the pitiable moans to excite the attention of the. pas.
censers as a decoy to rob them. They stopped Mr. C.'s moat!. with
a cloth, end held him down while they robbed hint of Bank-notes to
the amount of 131. a watch, and other property. They then cut his
throat with a knife, but he stiuggled hard, and having a very thick
neckcloth on, prevented them from effectually accomplishing their
p w urpose ; al he then succeeded in wresting the knife from the
robber, but not till the villain had cut his right hand grog dread-
fully. They then made -oft. Mr. Crossland returned to the public
mail, and gourd the parole within about thirty yards of the spot
m here it had taken place, who denied having heard Mr. Crossland
van to him, and made no attempt to pursue the rubbtis. Mr. C.
howevcr, procured assistance, and was conducted back to Highgate
among his friends, when lie was supposed to be in a dying state,
from the protitsion of blood that had flowed from hint ; but, on Mr.
Wetherell, a surgeon, being called in, he applied the proper dressings,
mid directed that he should be put to bed without delay, and by
k e ii hint quiet he had no doubt but the wound would close; he
is z,ince pronounced to be in a fair way of doing well.
