SOUTHWARK.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—Betsy Sullivan, an orange girl,
was charged with stealing a gold watch and chain from the
person of M. Francis Lemasle, a French gentleman, who is
at present staying at the Half, Moon Hotel, High-street,
Borough.

From the evidence of the complainant, who was examined
through an interpreter, it appeared that about one o'clock
on the previous night he got out of a cab at the door of the
Half Moon Hotel, when he was accos ed by the defendant
and another female, who asked him for charity. He put
his hand into his trousers pocket for the purpose of giving
her some money, when she snatched his watch from his
pocket and with the other girl ran away. The complainant
gave the defendant into custody, but her companion
escaped.

Police-constable 196 M asked for a remand, as he believed
that he would be able to discover the woman who Mid run
away.

The defendant denied the charge, and was remanded
until Saturday, on which day the complainant purposes to
return to France.

prices ; but inferior kinds ruled inactive. The top figure
was 5s 4d per 81b. Lambs were in moderate supply, and
fair demand, at late currencies, viz., from 5s to 6s 4d per
81b. No change took place in the value of calves. Pigs
