OMNIBUS ROBBERY.—Henry Walker, a well-dressed
young man, who described himself as, a carver, of High-
street, Reading, was charged before Mr. Knox, with steal-
ing a purse containing two rings and some money from the
pOcket of Mrs. Susannah Moore, a lady residing at 8.
Brewer-sttreet. Pimlico, while in an omnibus in Park-lane,
Mrs. Moore said—Yesterday afternoon about five o'clock,
I was in an omnibus at the bottom of Park- lane, near the
Marble-arch, the prisoner sitting next to me. After get-
ting about half-way down Park-lane, I having my hands
in my muff, I was induced to look at the prisoner in con-
sequence of his touehing me. I observed that the prisoner
was looking me hard in the face, and that his hands were
under my cloak. I thought it very su picious, the more so
as the prisoner got up and left the omnibus in a hurried
manner, and on putting my hand into my pocket I found
my purse and contents were gone.
Mr. Knox—On which side of you did the prisoner sit?
Mrs. Moore—On the right hand side of me, on the side
where my pocket was. Directly I' discovered my loss I
spoke to the conductor, the prisoner making off just at the
time, and the conductor and a gentleman caugh the pri-
soner and brought him back. While the prisoner was
away I searched the omnibus with a lady who was in it,
bat could find nothing of the purse. The prisoner pro-
tested his innocence, but after being placed in the omnibus
by the conductor the purse was found at his feet.
Edward West, conductor of one of the Royal Oak omni•
buses, said—The prisoner got in at the top of the Edgware-
road, and on going down Park lane got out
.in a hurried
manner without giving me notice, and was going away,
not having paid me my fare. In consequence of what the
lady said I seized the prisoner, and he fell. On getting up
he made off, but, accompanied by a gentleman, I pursued
him down Chapel-street into Mount-street, where we
stepped him, and the only remark he made was, "He is
gone ; I'll come back with you." We then took the pri-
soner back to the omnibus, and not seeing a constable till
we got to the Victoria Station, there gave him into custody
Mr. Knox—Where was the purse found ?
Conductor—On the prisoner being put into the omnibus,
after it had been searched by the ladies, he went to the far
end, and at his feet the purse was Lund.

Mr. Knox—That was away from where the prosecutrix
had been sitting?
Conductor—lt was, sir.
John Parish, 140 B, said—The prisoner was given into
my custody by the conductor, and the purse and contents
were handed to me. The prisoner gave his address at
Reading. I have ascertained that the prisoner has been
seen in company with men at the Elephant and Castle, and
that he is an associate of thieves.

Mr. Knox (the prisoner asking no questions)—Remanded
him for a week.

WESTMINSTER.

THE NEW SYSTEM OF SWINDLING BY PRESENTING
SHAM CHEQUES TO SHOPKEEPERS.--A gentleman con-
nected with a West-end very extensive and old established
#riat, applied to the magistrate for advice how to act in the
following matter.

Applicant said that a man of fashionable exterior came
to the house he represented, and made a trifling pu! chase
of goods, for which he paid. He then selected some other
valuable articles, and desired them to be sent to his resi-
dence at Chelsea.

Mr. Arnold—Did he pay for them ?
Applicant—No, Sir.
Mr. Arnold—What was the understanding about pay-
ment when tha goods were ordered ?

Applicant—lie selected the things, and having done so,
said they were to be sent to his house, when they would
be paid for upon delivery.
Mr. Arnold—What subsequently occurred ?
Applicant—Our porter took the goods to his address and
delivered them, and although we had taken all necessary
precaution, we were defrauded, for he gave the porter a
cheque for the amount, which was valueless.
Mr. Arnold—What instructions have you given your
porter ?

- Applicant —That he was not to part with the goods un-
less he receivad the money, and he considered a cheque the
same,

Mr. Arnold—What did they say at the banking house?
Applicant—That they knew nothing of the drawer, and
that sitnilar cheques had been presented by other trades-
men.

Mr. Arnold—After you found the cheque was bad did you
go to your customer ?
Applicant—Yes, and found he had suddenly disappeared.
The clerk said to the magistrate--There is already a war.
rant against this offender.
Mr. Arnold—That is sufficient. (To applicant)—Notice
will be given you when he is taken.
