MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

COMMITTAL OF DANGEROUS FELLOWS.-.-TWO young
men, named John Hart and Willitem Sullivan, was, charged
with loitering in Hemming's-row for a felonious purpose.
The evidence of Mr. Gordon, 336 A, went to show that
on the previous night he saw the two prisoners with three
other fellows visiting the urinals in Hemming's-row and
Duke's-court, several times in company. Knowing that
their purpose in doing so was either to extract money from,
or to rob gentlemen, he kept a close watch on them, and
heard a gentleman in Castle-street call " Police," and saw
him knock one of the prisoners down. The whole of the
fellows then ran up Castle-street followed by the gentle-
man, and after a sharp pursuit, assisted by Waterson, 144
C, he (Gordon) succeeded in securing the two prisoners.
On the spot a hat, either belonging to the gentleman or
to one of the prisoners' companions, was picked up.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, Waterson said he had
known the prisoners for two years past as loiterers about
urinals, and had cautioned them several times.

Mr. Tyrwhitt asked if it was known who the gentleman
was, and Gordon said that he seemed frightened and went
away.

Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the fellows for three months
each, at the same time stating that such dangerous fellows
would always be sharply dealt with by him.
