SOIMIWARK.—Thornas ]iygrave, who has
been three times tried and convicted of felony, and
Sarah Selby,wei e placed at the bar for final examina-
tion, charged with committing a murderous assault
on an old man named Joseph Da ws, and robbing
him of a bag containing boots.
The prisoners were brought before the magistrate
last week, and underwent a preliminary examina-
tion, but owing to the injuries the prosecutor re-
ceived, he was only able to give a vague account of
the transaction, and as the inspector said that evi-
dence would be forthcoming to clearly identify the
prisoners, they were remanded until yesterday.
The additional evidence given by the prosecutor
was as follows :—On Tuesday night, the 12th inst ,
he took some work home into the City, and on re-
turning home to Thomas-street, Walworth, he called
in at a publichouse in the Blackfriars-road, and par-
took of refreshments. It was about 1 o'clock in the
morning when he left the latter and crossed over
the road into the Borough-road. He then had his
woollen bag under his arm. He had not got many
yards before some one came behind him and knocked
him down, and before he could recover himself he
was struck on the head with some instrument and
became insensible. On his recovery at the station-
house he missed his bag, and found that the pockets
of his trousers were torn, and a few coppers that he
previously had were gone.
Mr. Burcham asked if he saw the parties who
attacked him ?

He replied in the negative, as it was done so
suddenly.
Mr. John Austin was next examined, and said he
was a teacher of music, residing in Lorrimore-
square, Walworth. Between 1 and 2 o'clock on
the morning of Wednesday, the 13th inst., he was
returning home from a supper, and on passing the
end of the Borough-road he heard a disturbance,
and looking in that direction he saw the prisoners
go up to the prosecutor, who fell down. The male
prisoner then struck him on the head with something
he had in his hand. The female prisoner then fell
on the prosecutor and appeared to be rifling his
pockets. -Witness went across the road to see what
was the matter, and just as the male prisoner was
about to run off a constable came up, seized hold
of his arm, and a life preserver fell from him. The
prosecutor was picked up, and the female took hold of
him saying he was her husband, and wanted to lead
him away while he was in a state of unconscious-
ness, but witness followed her, and saw her taken
into custody, and at the same time the prosecutor
was conveyed to the station-house.
Police-constable 163 M said that between one
and two o'clock on Wednesday morning, the 13th
inst., he was on duty at the top of the Borough-
road, when he heard cries for assistance. He looked
round and saw the prosecutor on the ground, the
male prisoner striking him with something, and
and the female leaning over him. Witness at once
rushed to the spot and seized hold of the male pri-
soner's arm, from which dropped the life preserver
produced. Witness, after considerable resistance,
secured him and:conveyed him to the station-house.

Mr. Burcham asked what the female appeared to
be doing when he first saw her ?
____

Witness replied that she was tearing open the
prosecutor's trowsers pockets for the purpose of
plunder.
...

Joseph Kemp, 181 M, said he was on duty in the
same neighbourhood, and saw the prisoners to-
gether a few minutes prior to the robbery. Suspect-
ing them, he watched them, and saw them knock
the prosecutor down. He rushed up and secured
the female prisoner, and assisted the prosecutor to
the station-house, where he was attended to by a
medical gentleman.
Mr. Burcham asked what was known of the
prisoners ?
Edwin Coleman, 53 M, said he had known both
prisoners as thieves from their childhood. In
August, 1856, the male prisoner was tried and
convicted; and the female was tried and convicted
in September, 1857, for shoplifting.
Levy, 116 V, said he was present at the Reigate
sessions in July, 1859, when the male prisoner was
tried and sentenced to 18 months' hard labour. He
was sentenced to nine months after that for having
skeleton keys and housebreaking implements about
him. The female prisoner had also been several
times convicted for felony.
They were now fully committed for trial.
