ROBBERY OF DIAMOND EARRINGS OF £l5O VALUE AT A
COURT JEWELLER'S—After Mr. fyrwhitt tick his seat on
the bench this morning, at a quarter-past 11, John Rice, a
well dressed man, who refused his address, said he was of
no occupation, and who, at the time he was taken into cus-
tody, was wearing a watch and chain of the value of £3O,
was charged by Inspector Tanner, of the Detective Depart-
ment, Scotland-yard, with being concerned with another
matt not in custody in stealing a pair of diamond earrings
of the value of £l5O, at 79 A Br ok-street, the property of
Mr. Harry Emanuel, court jeweller.
Mr. Lewis, jun., of Ely-place, prosecuted, and Mr. Ed-
ward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, defended.
Mr. Lewis, jun., having opened the case, called
Mr. Arthur Win. Young, au assistant to Mr. Emanuel,
who said On the 18th of June last, between one and two
"clock, the prisoner and another man came into the shop,
and walked up to the counter where I was serving. The other
man asked to see some necklets,and some were shown him by
another assistant. The man said they would not suit him, and
that he wanted something more expensive. I then brought
•-ut some diamond locaeto, with chains attached to them.
At that time a tray was placed on the counter by Mr.
Beasley, the assistant, an open tray about 18 inches in
length. It contained diamond brooches and earrings in
little boxes of the description of the one produced, and at
the time a pair of diamond-top earrings were in a little case.
While engaged talking to the other man I observed the
prisoner go to the tray and take out a box and lock at a
diamond orooch with the word "souvenir," in diamond,
on it, but after examining it he put it down again. The
prisoner remained at the tray for about three minutes while
1 was talking to the other man, but I had not my eyes on
him all the while. At this time an assistant named
Beck entered at the frontloor, and the prisoner removed
from the tray, and came up to the ether man and
spoke to him, but he could not hear what passed,
and the prisoner than left, leaving the other man behind
The other man then in about three minu es said he would
call on Saturday and see some fine emeralds, and left, and
directly alt-r 1 missed the pair of earrings from the tray
placed on the counter.

Mr. Lewis, jun.--I suppose the man did not keep hi.,
promise as to calling on Saturd iy ?
The witness—Ile did not, and I have not seen him since.
At the time the prisoner wore the same gold chain with a
guinea ati ached, as that produced. From information 1
yesterday received from Mr. Gough, assistant to Messrs.
Garrards, 1 went into Oxford-street, and there saw tht
prisoner, who, seeing me, ran away, but I pursued him and
gave him into custody. The prisoner had two ether men
with him at the time, but they succeeeded in getting away
On telling the prisoner the charge, he said, " Oh, you have
made a mistake, for I've been myself robbed of two
nos es."

Mr. Edward Lewis having put a few questions to the
witness on behalf of the prisoner,
Mr. Frederick Gough, . ssistant to IVi essrs. Garrards, of
Panton-street, jt wellers, &c., said—Yesterday, about three
o'clock, the prisoner and another wan entered our esta-
blishment. After leaving, in consequence of a suspicion I
felt, I followed them, and saw teem joined by a third man
in Panton-street. They all went into an oyster shop, an,.
then went and looked in a jeweller's window. They thee
went on, and walked twice past Messrs. Hunt and Rakell's.
in Bond-street, and then went into Mr. Turner's, a jewel,
ler, and afterwards to Messrs. Eglise and Thomas's, in Ox-
ford-street. I gave information to the last witness.
