ROBBERY OF NOTES BY A SERYANT.--Dattit/
Herring was placed at the bar charged with having
robbed his late master of 151. in bank-notes under the
following circumstances :
Mr. John Chipp, landlord of the Victoria Tavern,
Mornington-road, Regent's-park, deposed that the
prisoner was for a short period in his service as pot-
man, and that on the 26th of September last he (pro-
secutor) gave him three 5/. notes to get changed of
Mr. Harris, a butcher, in Munster-street , he did not
return, and prosecutor saw nothing since of him until
the previous (Monday) evening, when he saw him
at the King's Arms, Greenwich, where he had ob-
tained another situation, and he gave him into cus-

tody.
Turner, 307 R, stated that the prisoner expressed
his sorrow for what he had done, and said that having
been robbed of 51. of the money, he was ashamed to
go back to Mr. Chipp's house. Witness searched him,
and found on him only 6s. 100.
The prisoner, who had not a word to say, stands
remanded till next Tuesday, when the depositions
will be read over, and he will be sent for trial.
ROBBERY or PLATE.—Thomas Keely was brought
up in custody of Inspector Brennan, U division, on
the charge of having stolen articles of silver plate, the
property of Mr. Ellis, of the Star and Garter Hotel,
Richmond. _ _

Mr. Lewis attended for the prosecution.
Some witnesses in support of the charge were ex-
amined, and as the inspector expressed an opinion that
he should, if allowed a little time, be able to bring
forward more evidence of an important nature, the
prisoner was remanded till next Tuesday.
WESTMINSTER.
Elizabeth Martin and Catherine Callaghan, two
dirty looking women, were charged with the follow-
ing disgraceful conduct :
Mrs. Ann Nicholson, a very genteel young person,
stated that on the previous evening she was walking
through Strutton-ground, Westminster, when she
was accosted by the two prisoners, one of whom
(Martin) inquired whether she wanted to purchase a
gold keeper. She immediately replied that she did
net, and endeavoured to pass on, but was prevented
by the women placing themselves right in front of
her. After pressing her to look at the ring, which
she refused to do, the prisoner Callaghan suddenly
seized her hand, and said, " Let me tell you your
fortune and although Martin assured complainant
that she was quite able to do so, she declined the
offer, and again endeavoured to get away from them,
but was unable, owing to Callaghan holding her so
firmly in her grasp. Callaghan then pressed her to
cross her hand with a piece of silver, at the same time
repeating that she would tell her fortune; but com-
plainant still resisted their importunities, and, declar-
ing that she had no silver, made another ineffectual
effort to get away from them, when Callaghan observed,
"You have a ring; cross my hand with that, or give
me a handkerchief." Complainant refused, and find-
ing there was no chance of advancing, endeavoured to
escape by receding, but was obliged to desist, finding
that, owing to Callaghan's retainining her hold, she
should leave her glove and two rings she had on her
finger, in all probability, in her hand if she continued
her retrogade movement. Callaghan then had the
baseness to declare that complainant was getting a
living by infamous means, and declared that she
would put a spell upon her so that she should not get
any money that night. A policeman at that moment
came in sight, when she gave them into custody. As
she left the station they expressed a wish that she
might tumble down and break her neck.
.The accused told a very lame story, in the course of
which they pretended that Mrs. Nicholson accosted
them, and entreated that her fortune might be told,
I and then, without any provocation, gave them into
custody. Martin, however, admitted that she wanted
the prosecutrix to have the ring, which had just been
purchased for a penny, and which, with a second of a
similar description, was found upon the person of
Callaghan.
Mr. ARNOLD inquired if anything was known of
the accused ? The police replied that Callaghan was
known as a low drunkard, and her companion as the
common associate of utterers of base coin.
Mr. ARNOLD said it was quite evident that in this
case they had confederated in an attempt to defraud
by pretending to tell fortunes, and committed them
both for one month to hard labour in the House of
Correction.
