ANYTHING BUT FRIENDLY.—JUI4/10 141110Chell. 3.74/3
brought be.ture Mr. Puget, charged with stealing a gold
watch, gold chain, and two gold lockets, valued at £l7, the
property of Auguste Alen%ler.

The parties are young men, and natives of Germany.
The evidence of the prosecutor was interpreted by M.
Wintjen, and he stated that he made the acqUaintanee of
the prisoner at Hahn's Hotel, in America-square, and that
they had frequently met tht:le. 'Last Tuesday fortnight
the prisoner visited him at his lodgings, No. 10, Little
Prescott-street, Whitechapel. He was in a loiiier room of
the house washing himself. His gold watch, gold seals,
gold chain, and gold medals (lockets), and a knits() were on
the table in•the room. There was also a sovereign and ss,
or Gs. in money. He went upstairs to put on his waistcoat,
and when he came down again his witch and appendages
were gone,and his money was gone. The prisoner was gone
too. The prisoner was his friend, but what he did was any-
thing but friendly.

Mr James Aldridge, assistant to Mr Joseph Burgess,
pawnbroker, of No. 73, Waterloo-road, Lambeth, produced
the prosecutor's gold watch, to which a gold albert chain,
two gold lockets, two gold keys, and a gold seal were
attached. The lot was pawned by a young man (ho be-
lieved it was the prisoner, but was not sure) on the 17th of
May. The sum lent was £4 10s. The person who pawned
the watch gave the name of Meuzler, and his address No.
88, Park-street, Camden-town,
Frederick Hunt, of the Borough of Southampton police,
No. 20, said he arrested the prisoner in that town yesterday
afternoon, and found upon him two pawn tickets, one
related to a watch only, the other was the duplicate of the
watch and appurtenances pledged in the Waterloo road.
He also found a knife on the prisoner.
The prosecutor—That knife belongs to me. The gold
watch and all the things with it belong to me. The pri-
soner used to come to Hahn's Hotel daily to see me. This
is anything but frendly.

The prisoner who held down his head and was in a very
dejected state, said he had no defence to make. Ho was
committed for trial.
