EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY P A FRENCHMAN,—
Charles Surry, aged 27, a French sailor, was brought up on
remand before Mr, Paget, charged with committing a
daring robbery.
The I risoner had been lodging in the house of Mr. Henry
Lewis, a Jew, who keeps a boarding-house for seamen at
Nos. 1 and 2 Betts-street, Ratcliff-highway. On Monday
evening the prisoner went out with a shipmate and returned
home intoxicated. A few minutes afterwards the prisoner
lett the house with a large bundle on his shoulders. Ile
was seen by Mrs. Lewis, the landlady, who called to him.
He did not stop, and the landlady followed him to a
" French house" kept by a man named Harris, in the same
neighbourhood. From some cause not explained she
did not enter the house, but gave information to the
police. On the same night John Barnett, a police-oon-
stable, No. 158 H. mot tEe prisoner in Neptune-street, St.
George, with a bag on his shoulder. It contained a bed,
two sheets, a pillow, and a blanket, the property he had
stolen from his boarding-house.
Mrs. Lewis, who attended for the first time this day,
identified the whole of the property which was on the pri-
soner's bedstead on Monday evening.
The prisoner made a long defence in broken English. He
said that he deposited a good deal of money with Lewis
which he could not get back, and that Lewis stowed him-
self away and avoided being seen. On Monday morning
at an early hour he heard Lewis creep into hie bed-
room and tell his wife that he should bo back
in five minutes, but ho saw no moro of him
until t: welve o'clock at night. He then saw him
in the station-house, and was charged with stealing
the bed and bed clothes. He admitted ho took them out
of the house. He did so because Lewis kept hie money,
and wanted him to go to sea without clothes, hammock,
bedding, or his plate.
Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial.
Mr. Lewis wished to address the magistrate on what the
prisoner said, and was stopped by the magistrate, who said,
"No," the case is over.
