GUILDHALL.--(THIS DAY.)

ROBBERY AT THE BELL TAVEKN, FLEET- STREET.— Thomas
Watson, a respectable-looking person, was brought before
Sir PETER LAURIE, under the following circumstances:--
The prisoner, who had slept at the Bell Tavern a night or
two, last night retired to bed about nine o'clock, and about an
hour afterwards the chambermaid saw his room door open, and
thinking something was wrong, she sent the waiter up to the
room, who then ascertained that the door was locked. With
some difficulty he succeeded in inducing the prisoner to open
the door, and, after a short search, found a watch, several coins,
&c., secreted under the bed, which had been taken from a box
belonging to the chambermaid, which was safe in the attic
about three o'clock.

The prisoner, who denied the charge, said that he was a
draper, and had been in the employ of several respectable
persons at Liverpool. _

Sir. P. LAualE-thought he had no course to pursuo but to
commit the prisoner.
The prisoner remarked that the witnesses had not yet been
sworn.

Sir P. LAURIE thought that a rather curious observation,
and one that was not likely to come from a person, unless he
was used to this business.

The prisoner assured his Lordship that he was mistaken.
Sir P. LAURIE hoped it would prove to be the case; and in
the mean time directed the depositions to be taken.
