ROBBING A REFRESHMENT-HOUSE KEEPER. - Sarah
Martin, a young woman, was charged with rcbbing Mr.
Wm. Elliot, the keeper of a refreshment-house at 94A,
Wells-street, Oxford-street.
From the evidence of Mr. Elliott, it appeared that the
prisoner had only been in his service five days, when she
decamped at seven o'clock in the morning, and shortly atter
she was gone a quantity of wearing apparel, two new pairs
of bocts, and a concertina were missed. Information was
then given to the police.

Mr. Tyrwhitt asked if any of the property had been re-
covered.

Sergeant Lambert, C Division, said that the prisoner
was then wearing a new dress belonging to Mrs, Elliot,
and a pail of new boots of Mr. Elliot's.
Philpott, 122 S, proved taking prisoner into custody at
SGmers-town. He wished for a remand, as he expected
there would be other charges against the prisoner. He
had ascertained that she had left her previous situation
under somewhat similar circumstances.

Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for a week.

SAVAGE ASSAULT.—Thomas Harley, a young man, who
was described as a labourer, was brought before Mr. Wool-
rych, charged with violently assaulting Timothy Connor.
The complainant, whose head was enveloped in surgical
bandages, stated that he was playing at cards with the pri-
soner and three others, at the Baker and Basket public-
house, on Saturday night. He left off playing suddenly,
and the prisoner and two others continued playing. The
prisoner became quarrelsome, and threatened him, and took
a pint pewter pot and beat him over the head with it. He
bled profusely, and was insensible for a time. When he re-
covered he left the house in searchof a police constable, and
the prisoner followed him and struck him over the head
with an iron tar or poker. A police-constable took the pri-
soner into custody. He wsnt to the London Hospital, and
his head was dressed there.

Mr. Woolrych—Were you sober
Witness—l was in liquor, sir, The prisoner was sober.
The prisoner, in defence, alleged that the prosecutor fell
against the fireplace and hurt his head.
Connor—Nothing of the kind, sir. He hit me first with
the pot and afterwards with the poker.
Mr. Woolrych remanded the prisoner for a week, and
said the surgeon who dressed the wounds must attend on
Monday next,
