HATTON GARDEN.

Yesterday Charles Gould, a sullen-looking fellow, nine-
teen years of age, attired as a fisherman, in a pilot-coat
and oilskin hat, was brought to this office in the custody of
William Terry, an officer of the county of Southampton,
charged by Mr. Thomas Beard, coachmaker, of No. 7,
Mount Pleasant, Clerkenwell, with having robbed him of

1401. in gold, 8/. in silver, and other property.
Mr. Thomas Beard stated that the prisoner was his ap-
prentice, and had served five years of his time. On the
sth of September last, about eight o'clock in the evening,
witness proceeded to his bedroom, when he discovered that
his drawer had been forced open, and 140/. in sovereigns
and half-sovereigns, 8/. in silver, a bill of exchange, and
a gold watch, chain, and seals had been stolen. He saw
the property safe at six •o'clock in the evening, when he
left the prisoner at work. He absconded, and has been
ever since missing until Sunday last, when he was appre-
hended. Subsequently to the robbery the witness found the
empty cashbox, and a knife with which the drawers were
broken open.
Thomas Pilley, journeyman to the prosecutor, on the
evening of the sth of September saw the prisoner in the
room adjoining the bed-room where the robbery was com-
mitted, and in ten minutes after he saw him go out.

William Terry, officer of police at Southampton, deposed
that in consequence of reading a description of the priso-
ner's person in the line and Cry, he Lying a peculiar mark
on one of his hands, and receiving information that such a
person was sojourning amongst the fishermen at Hamble, in
Hampshire, on the Southampton Water, on Sunday night
last he proceeded thither, in company with his son, to make
inquiries. He traced the prisoner to the Victory inn, where
he found him in the company of a boatman. He asked the
prisoner to sit down and show him his hands, which he did ;
and he found the mark described in the Hue and Cry on his
finger. Witness asked his name, and he replied " Charles
Gould." Witness informed him that he was advertised for
robbing his master ; that he was an officer ; and he was his
prisoner ; and he sat opposite to him, and asked him for the
watch which he then had i❑ his fob, which he handed to him,
and confessed having stolen it from Mr. Beard. He then
ordered him to turn out his pockets, which he commenced
doing very slowly, when witness said, " You seem to be a
slow hand at searching—let me assist you ;" and he pro-
ceeded towards him, on which the prisoner fumbled at the
side-pocket of his pilot-coat, and he drew a double-bar-
relled pistol, and; presenting it at witness, he exclaimed,
" Stand off !" and fired at him. The cap and the powder
came in witness's face, and stunned him for a time ; and he
could not tell whether he was shot or not. The ball
grazed witness's face, and passed through the wall over
the mantle-piece. Witness's son exclaimed, " Father, he
has got another pistol in his, pocket." He immediately
rushed upon the prisoner, and wrested the pistol from his
grasp, and he found that the other muzzle was loaded with
ball. On searching his pocket he found another double-
barrelled pistol, capped, cocked, and loaded. He secured
him, and found only ss. 6d. in his possession. He asked
him what he had done with all the gold ? He replied that
he had spent it, and the gold seal he had given to a girl of
the town, from whom witness had received it.
He was fully committed for trial. _

BIGAEIY.—Maty Daly appeared, pursuant to her bail,
to answer the charge of J. Forester, a law-stationer, for
intermarrying with him, her second husband being living.
Mr. BODYI/4 appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. C.
PHILLIPS for the defence.

James Glee, clerk to St. George's, Hanover-square,
proved that on the 14th of September, 1834, the prisoner
was married to Charles Daly. Her name was Mary Hodson.
Mrs. Celia Daly, the actress, was acquainted with the
prisoner.

Mr. BODKIN—Pray, are you the wife of William Charles
Daly ? Mrs. Daly—l am. I think his name was William
Charles.

Mr. BODKIN—What, don't you know your husband's
name? Mrs. Daly—l think it was William Charles.
Mr. BODKIN—He played Pantaloon at the theatres ?
Mrs. Daly—He did, Sir.

Mr. BODKIN—Do you know Mary Hodson ? Mrs
Daly—l do. .

Mr. I3onuN—Did she not marry his brother? Mr:.
Daly—l !knew they paid attentions to each other ; she

Mr. Philips here stated that it was admitted, but the
friends of the prisoner were averse to the match, and she
went into the country, and they would not let her return,
and the marriage was never consummated.

Stanfield, were attesting witnesses to the marriage—the
