IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—Ann Pearce was charged with
being concerned with another woman, not in custody, in
stealing a piece of bacon.

Annie Wilson said she conducted the business of her
father, who kept a chandler's shop at 33, Rochester-row,
Westminster. At 9 o'clock on Saturday night the prisoner
came in, accompanied by another woman, and asked for a
penny rasher of bacon. Witness said she could not serve
so small a quantity, upon which the other woman said,
' Ob, you be -," and coolly taking a piece of bacon, ran
away with it. The prisoner tried to follow her, but witness
prevented her and gave her into custody.
Defendant denied all knowledge of the other woman,
and said she did not call for the bacon, but for a penny_
worth of cheese.
In answer to Mr. Arnold, complainant declared most
positively that the women came in together and were in
company. This woman also tried to hide the movements of
the other, who, while this woman was being detained, oame
back, and asked witness what she was keeping the woman
for.

Isaac Philips, a little boy, corroborated the complainant's
account in every material particular, and in answer to the
magistrate, positively denied that the word cheese wee ever
mentioned, and said he distinctly heard the prisoner call for
a pennyworth of bacon.

Mr. Arnold having enquired whether prisoner had any
one to speak to her character,
Prisoner replied she had no one present.
She was remanded till Friday, Mr. Arnold offering to
take bail for her appearance.

Cloverseed and trefoil are tolerably firm in price; but the
demand for both art:cles rules inactive. Linseed and rape-

BOW-STREET.
JEWEL ROBBERY.—William King, sailor, Alfred Lane,
15, barge boy, and Joseph Fitch, labourer, were placed at
the bar charged with breaking a pane of glass in the shop of
Mr. Robert Dobree, jeweller, and pawnbroker, 264, Strand,
and stealing therefrom 3 rings, valued £4O.
King was taken shortly after the stone had been thrown,
but the other two escaped. Inspector Brimbacome, how-
ever, last night went to Westminster, and with the assist-
ance of Shaw and Ackrill, succeeded in capturing the other
prisoners.

Police-constable 272 B said from information he received
he went to Old Pye street, Westminster, about 2 o'clock
this morning, and found Lane. Re told him he was
charged with breaking a jeweller's shop window and stealing
rings. As we were left ing the place, some of the prisoner's
companions came up, and a sked what he was in custody for,
when he replied something about some pawnbrokers. About
half an hour after he (witness) went to a lodging-house in
St. Ann's lane, Westminster, and found the prisoner Fitch.
King and Lane pleaded guilty, but Fitch denied the
robbery.

The prisoners were then charged a second time with
breaking a window in the shop of Mr. Richards, pawn-
broker, Westminster-bridge•road, and stealing therefrom
two diamond rings, value £27.
A young woman, named Pain, said she saw Fitch break
the glass, take the rings, and put them in his pocket. There
was another p rson with him, but he could not say it was
Lane. They both ran away after they had got the property,
and she went in and told Mr. Richards what had occurred.
Lane said he broke the window, and the female was quite
mistaken.
Fetch and King well knew they had the stolen property
on them.
The prisoners were fully committed on the two charges,
but were remanded, in order to afford the police time to
make certain inquiries.
