MARYLEIIONE.

Yesterday morning Edward Sharp, a young man of
highly respectable appearance, was charged with robbing
the house of Lady Coleraine, No. 17, Albany-street, Re.
gent's-park.
Her Ladyship's servant, Mary Illegally, stated that on
the 21st of June she went to the Southampton Arms tea-
gardens, Canleir-town, to see Cooke's equestrian perfor-
mance, and she had a little girl with her. . The defendant
was there, and he introduced himself into her company,
and was very attentive to her, and as the night proved wet
and uncornfort ride, he insisted on carrying the little girl
hack to her Ladyship's house. Ile called the next day on
the deponent to ask whether she or the child bail taken
cold, and in Ammer to questions from Mr. GRIFFITH, the
Magistrate, she sdmited that be assumed the language of
a sweetheart & little, but she declared that on that occa-
sion he went into the house no farther than the hill. Ile
called again sill the following day about lett-past four
o'clock in the afternoon, and abe left Mtn *lone in the par.
lour five minutes, and after he was gone she missed a pair
of snuffers and a tray from the sideboard, which were
packed in paper, and had never been opened since they
came from the ailvermill's. They had the appearance of
silver, but were only plated, and she never saw them af-
terwards. The prisoner also called no more at the house,
and kept out of her sight until yeitrr4ay morning when idiu
accidentally met with him near Portland-place, and she
charged a policeman to take him into custody.
The defendant described himself to be an apprentice in a
highly respectable establishment in the nehthbOurhood (the
paper-hanging manufactory of Mears. Harwood and Co.),
and he declared that the girl was in error as to his identity,
for although be knew Albany-street, because he drily passed
by it, he never was in the house mentioned, and he never,
to his knowledge, saw the girl in his life, until she pointed
him out to policeman that morning►.
The girl still persisted in ber story, and said it was im-
possible for her to be deceived, fur she had had three in-
terviews and much conversation with him,

Theseobeing the circumst"ncee, Mr. Gamma sent
him, under the care of two policemen, to the manufactory
of hie employers, and gave the policemen instructions to
make inquiry respecting general conduct, and, if pos-
sible, to learn whether he was absent from the place, or at
work there, in the afternoon of the 23d of June. One of
the partners of the concern came back with them, and told
Mr. Griffiths the general conduct of the defendant was ea.
tisfactory. Be had known his father fur many years, and
he thought him incapable of committing such an act as was
laid to hit charge.
Mr. Gitivrana asked this gentleman whether it could
lie ascertained how the time of the defendant was occupied
in the afternoon of the 23d of June. .

The gentleman said the apprentices ag well as the jour-
neymen worked by the piece, and their time is not pre-
cisely noticed. Ile became security for the appearance of
the defendant, if ever it be required, and on this under-
standing the charge was dismissed.
