HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—A CANDIDATE FOR PENAL
SERVITUDE.—WiIIiam Brown, alias Broom, better known
by the soubriquet of "Nimble Bill," was brought up on
remand charged with stealing a silver watch and a gold
guard, valued at £l7 10s., from the person of Mr. William
Radcliff, a stevedore of No. 6, Prince's-street, Ratcliff-
highway.

A few nights ago Mr. Radcliff left his home with a jug
in his hand for the purpose of obtaining the supper beer for
himself and family, and was about to enter a public-house
when the prisoner accosted him and made a sudden and
very rough snatch at his watch guard, and dragged it from
him with the watch. Before Mr. Radcliff could recover
from his surprise, the prisoner was off with the watch and
chain. Instant pursuit was made after the fellow, who
well deserved the title of "Nimble Bill," for he soon
out-stripped his pursuers and was lost sight of. Mr,
Radcliff gave immediate information to the police, and from
his description the prisoner was apprehended on the fol-
lowing morning as he was entering a coffee-shop in Rat-
cliff-highway. He stoutly denied the charge mado against
him, and said he was not in the Back-road, St. George,
where the robbery was committed, on the night in ques-
tion. Mr, Radcliff had seen him 100 times in the Back-
road, and knew him well.

Daniel Davey, a police constable, No. 109 H, said the
prisoner was only 20 years of age, and had been in custody
10 or 11 times for robberies, and summarily convicted seve-
ral times. The prisoner was convicted in March, 1860, in
that court for stealing a watch, and sentenced to six months
imprisonment and hard labour, and in March, 1861, he re-
guilty, and begged of the magis-
tceived a similar sentence for a watch robbery.

He was informed the powers of
