DESPERATE ASSAULT AND HIGHWAY ROBBEIZI
WITH VIOLENCE ON A LADY.—At the Ilford Petty
Sessions on Saturday, a well-dressed man, about 30 year°
of age, who gave the name of Richard Nowbey, was placed
before the magistrates, charged with violently assaulting
and robbing Mrs. Williams, a young widow lady, residing
at Ilford. A certificate from the medical gentleman, Dr
Drake, was handed to the magistrates, stating that the pro-
secutrix was so ill from the brutal treatment she had re"
ceived as to be quite incapable of attending at present to
give evidence in the case. The prisoner, who is supposed
to be a ticket-of-leave man, met Mrs. Williams on Friday
afternoon, between the hours of four and five o'clock in the
Ilford-road, near the White-post-lane. Ho accosted her
with " Good evening, madam. Have you a watch ? If
you have I must have it." She started back, but he
immediately struck her a violent blow on the
face, knocked her down into the ditch, and kneel"
ing upon her breast he tore open her dress, and
dragged from her bosom a handsome gold watch, value
£l4. Not satisfied with this ho endeavoured to take from
her ears her gold ear-rings, but as she struggled and re'
sisted he violently tore one away. Her screams brought
coachman, who was at work in his master's garden, to her
assistance, and the following is a summary of his evidence
He said his name was George Elliott, coachman to Janae°
Ginger, Esq., of Wood House, East Ham, and that he we°
at work in his master's garden, and hearing a lady Scream'
ing terribly he went to see what was the matter. He S
him give her a violent blow, and she was smothered with
blood. When the prisoner saw him ho said, " Well I've
got the watch, and now I'm off," and took as hard as 11°
could go across the fields. He followed him a long distance,
but not being able to come up to him, he was eventually
stopped by a gardener, named Phillips. As the prisoner
was running away he pulled a letter from his pocket and
tore it into a number of pieces, which ho scattered to the
winds. On the application of Inspector Brice the prisoner
was remanded. The prosecutrix has been suffering since
from fits.
