MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Yesterday William, Oddy, a corporal in the Foot
Guards, and Rachel Oddy, his wife, who have been
several days in custody, charged, the latter as prin-
cipal, and the husband as an accessory after the fact,
in a robbery committed on a young lady named
Whitfield, residing at No. 73, in the Regent's-
quadrant, were brought before Mr. ROE, the Sitting
Magistrate, for re-examination. There has been a
great deal of difficulty in bringing home guilt to the
prisoners in this case by sufficient evidence, owing
to Miss Whitfield's not knowing the dates or
numbers of any of the Think notes that were stolen
from her ; but yesterday for the first time the evi-
dence as taken down by Mr. Fitzpatrick, the Chief
Clerk, supplied a chain which the Magistrate deemed
sufficient to connect bath prisoners with the robbery.
Miss Whitfield deposed, that the female prismier
had lived in her service for:some time, but left her
in the beginning of June last, and soon after she
quitted, she called one day again, to request a written
character, as. she was going again, she said, into ser•
vice, and did not mean to live with her husband any
more. Witness told her, however, that her conduct
'while in her service was by no means satisfactory,
and she certainly should not give her a favourable
character, and therefore declined altogether giving
any.. A few days before this occasion on which the
prisoner called about her character, witness went to a
drawer in her sitting-room, in which she kept some
money, and took from it a sum ()ISO!, part of which
was a 504 note of the Bank of England, and paid it
into the banking-house of Messrs. Barclay and Co.,
in the city, where she had occasion to deposit that
sum, leaving behind in the drawer 1801. besides,
also in Bank of England notes, and,amongst which
was another for 601. It was not until after the expi-
ration of nearly a fortnight from the prisoner's visit,
that the witness had uguin occasion to take ti otn e
more money from the drawer, when, to her utter
astonishment, she discovered that the whole
of the 1801. was gone ; and she immediately
had the circumstance communicated to the office,

fore stated, paid into Messrs. Tlarelay's bank. Al-
though. she did not know either the numbers or
dates of ►hese two notes, or had any mark by
which she should again recognize them, she recol-
lecged that she received one of them front a Major
Harrison, and the other was paid to her by a gen-
tleman named Voittier.

Ballard, the officer, produced all the notes found
on the prisoners, but Miss Whitfield could not idea•
tify any of them.
Charles EdWard Waller, did 'clerk in the bank-
note pay office of the Bank, of England, produced
two 50/. notes that had been paid into the Bank
and cancelled, one No. 19,830, and the other No.
2,996, both dated in April,:_ 1830, but by whom
they were paid in witness could.not say. One of
these notes, however, No. 2,996, witness had him-
self originally paid out of the Bank to a Mr.Voutier,
in part payment of a Treasury order for 901.

Henry Mark Chadwick, a clerk in the Treasury
office of the South Sea-house, deposed, that the
501. note produced by Mr. Waller (No. 19,850) was
paid by the witness to a Major Harrison, in part pay-
ment of some dividends, amounting to 2641.
Mr. Curdle, a wine-merchant, residing at St.
Mary-at-hill, deposed that this 50/. note (No.
19,850) was given to him by Major Harrison, and
that he paid it in on Major Harrison'? account to
the banking-house of Messrs. Bosanquet and Co.,
amongst other notes.
Mr. Vaughan, a clerk in the house of Messrs.
Bosanquet and Co., deposed that this very note was
afterwards paid back again to Major Harrison on a
cheque drawn by him.
This being the whole of the evidence at present,
Mr. Roc told the prisoners that the evidence, as
far as regarded the two 501. notes that had just been
taken down, had nothing to do directly with their
guilt or innocence, but merely went to tracing these
notes to the possession of Mr. Voutier and Major
Harrison, from whom Miss Whitfield said she had
received the two 50/. notes that were in her pos-
session previous to the robbery : so that it would
not, he said, be necessary for the prisoners to say
.any thing on this part of the case; but still if they
wished to say any thing on this or any other part,
he was ready to attend to it.
Both the prisoners declined saying any thing, and
they were remanded for another week, to have the
attendance of Mr. Voutier and Major Harrison, who
are at present out of town. All the witnesses now
in attendance, however, were bound over to prose-
cute, and they were told that they need not attend
again until the Sessions.
