MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

JEWELLERY ROBBERY BY A FENCING MASTER.—
Auguste Robert, of 5, Nassau. street, Middlesex Hospital,
a fencing master, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with
stealing at 31, Percy-street, Tottenham court-road, a nar-
row case, containing 14 ladies' gold chains, 9 Albert chains
some diamonds and rubies, &c., of the value of £B2, the
property of Mr. Eugenie Thewrier.

It appears that the prisoner was in the habit of going to
the house of the prosecutor, who is a jeweller, to give les-
sons in fencing; and on Friday last he called for that pur-
pose and gave a lesson, there being in an adjoining room at
the time the morocco case containing 23 chains, &c., and
while the prosecutor's back was turned , the prisoner left the
room, and then, after making some frivolous excuse, left
the house. As soon as he was gone the property was
missed, and the case was put into the bands of Lambert,
68 E, who went to Southampton on Saturday afternoon,
and at half-past ten, the same night, succeeded in appre-
hending the prisoner while making some purchases at the
shop of Mr. Miller, outfitter, Canute-road, Southampton.
Lambert, on taking the prisoner into custody, searched him,
and found a portion of the property of the prosecutors on
him, but the other portion Lambert found to have been
sold by the prisoner to Mr. Emmanuel, jeweller, Iligh-
street, Southampton, who at once gave up the property.
The prisoner was then brought to London.
Mr. Thewrier having identified the articles produced as
his property,

The prisoner was committed for trial.
Mr. Albert interpreted the evidence.

EXTRAORDINARY AND ROMANTIC AFFAIR. - Ann
Fraser, a very prepossessing young lady,who appeared much
affected and labouring under great agitation, was brought
before Mr. Woolrych, charged with attempting to commit
self-destruction.

It appeared from the evidence of Police-sergeant Thomas
Arnold, No. 32 K, that last night about 9 o'clock the pri-
soner was in conversation with her lover, Mr. Fearnley,
jun., the son of Mr. Fearnley, solicitor, of Broad-street,
Ratcliff, and some words took place. The young lady
accused her inamorata with being the worse for liquor, and
said that he ought to be ashamed of himself. Mr. Fearnley
denied the soft impeachment, on which the young lady said
she would drown herself. Her lover said " Do, if
you are foolish enough," Unfortunately at that moment
they were on the bridge over the Regent's-canal in the
Mile-end-road, and she jumped upon the parapet and
plunged into the water. Her over immediately plunged
into the water after her, and after she had once gone
down he dived after her, brought her up and gallantly sup-
ported her in his arms and swam towards the bank. He
was soon assisted, and both were saved and taken to the
Gunmakers' Arms.

Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, said he appeared on behalf
of Mr. Fearnley, the son of a very old and respectable soli-
citor, and the young lady. They had formed an attach-
ment to each other. The act of the young lady was com-
mitted in a moment of excitement, and she was very sorry
for what she had done.

Mr. Woolrych remanded the prisoner until Wednesday.
