WESTMINSTER,

EXTENSIVE ROBBER/ BY A SERVANT.—Jane Hewitt, a
ycung woman, was placed at the bar charged with robbing
her mistress, Mrs. Mary Dickenson, a lady living at 70,
Stanley-street, Pimlico.
Prosecutrix said that the prisoner entered her service on
the 18th of August, and left on yesterday week suddenly.
She left some clothes at the time of her departure which
were examined, and an article of clothing of her mistress's
was found amongst them. It was subsequently discovered
that a great quantity of handsome clothing, some sheets,
and other linen had been stolen, and prosecutrix went to
where the prisoner was lodging and charged her with the
robbery. The prisoner denied it while standing on the
stairs, when a fellow lodger, with a view of
proving her innocence, lifted part of her cloth-
ing to show that she had not a missing article
named upon her, and unluckily displayed ono of
prosecutrix's missing petticoats. On entering pri-
soner's room several articles of the stolen linen were found,
and the accused was taken into custody.
Mr Holder, inspector B division, said he had not had
time to make the requisite inquiries after the other property.

I'risonor said that it was true she had taken the things
now produced, but she did not know anything about the
other things now spoken of.
Mrs Dickenson seid there was another and very serious
charge against the prisoner for stealing some valuable ar-
ticles from a lady who was staying in her house. They
consisted of gold sleeve links, very handsome studs, and
articles of that description.

After a conversation between the magistrate and Mr
Holder, prisoner was reminded fok a week, the second
charge being postponed.

DESPERkTE OUTRAGE.—James Bateman, aged 22, and
George Bateman, 25, two brothers, of No. 3, Faust-street,
Bromley, labourers, who are better known in that district
as the " Bromley Tigers," were brought before Mr Par-
tridge, charged with creating a disturbance at the Five
Bells public-house, Old Ford-road, Bow, assaulting Mr
Daniel Cook, the landlord, and assaulting Philip Ward,
183 K, a police-constable in the execution of his duty.
Ward stated that last night he was called into the Five
Bells by the landlord. Re found the prisoners there, drunk,
and making a disturbance. The landlord gave Henry
Bateman in charge. Ha took the prisoner into custody,
and made a violent resistance, and kicked, plunged, and
fought in a fearful manner. A second constable came in
to assist. The other prisoner than tried to rescue his
brother, and a severe struggle took place. James Bateman
held on by the door-post, struck witness on the side of
the neck, and knocked him down. His brother constable
seizul the two constables, and they all fell together. lie
got up again, and was forced to use his truncheon to
defend himself. James Bateman was dragged by force
from the house. On the way to the station-house the
prisoner was very violent, and often threw himself down,
and plunged about the road.

Mr. Daniel Cook, landlord of the Five Bells, eaid the
prisoners made a disturbance in his house. They called
for two cigars, and would only pay
for one. That was
how they commenced a riot in the house. lie said
they had cheated them out of 2d. At last one cigar was
given back. They then struck a man in the tap-room.
He pushed James Bateman out of the house, and the
prisoner struck him a tremendous blow on the lip with
his clenched fiat, and caused it to bleed profusely. A police-
man came, and George Bateman pulled off his jacket and
struck the constable, whose ha: flew off. The prisoners had
been in his house before and made a disturbance. lie had
to send for the police to remove them on former occasions,
Frederick Baker, a police-constable, No. 239 K, confirmed
the statement of Ward, and said that the conduct of George
Bateman was so desperate and ruffianly that he was com-
pelled to knock him down with his truLcheon.
The prisoners said they were drunk and were first at-
tacked.
Mr Partridge sentenced the prisoners each to one month's
imprisonment and hard labour.
