THE GAROTTE ROBBERIES,

Benjamin Buckley, alias Buckey, Charles Masons.
alias Long Charley, 55, and Joseph Percival, 30'
were brought up on remand, before Mr. Woolryeh.
at the Thames Police-court, yesterday, charged with
assaulting and robbing Mr. Thos. Tillman, a tailor,
in Philpot-street, Stepney, on the evening of the
12th inst.
Mr. C. Young defended Buckley, Mr. Beard ar
peered for Mason, and Mr. Stoddart for Percival.
This case has been repeatedly before the magis-
trate, and great efforts have been made by the pri-
soners' friends and associates, principally connected
with the many disreputable houses in and neer
Baker-street, Stepney, to defeat the ends of justice
and keep the witnesses out of the way. If it had
not been for the untiring exertions of Sergeants
Briden and Venables, a constable of the K
the ease would have failed altogether. Bucklei
and Mason only were in custody on the flOt
examination. Percival was taken afterwards,
The prosecutor was playing at bagatelle
with A friend named Nl' ilford, at the York Min-
ster public-house, in Philpot-street, on the 12th
inst., and was there about six hours. A quarrel
took place about the payment of a pot of cooper.'
and Tillman left the house followed by Wilford, the
prisoners, and others. He had not proceeded maul
yards before the prisoners took advantage of the
confusion that prevailed to garotte and rob Tillman
of his watch and a portion of the gold chain at-
tached to it.
Several witnesses gave evidence of the outrage
and robbery, and that all the prisoners took par,t
in it. Mason had his arms round the prosecutor?
neck, while Percival took the watch, and draggeall;
away from the prosecutor with considerable Wee'
Mason then released the prosecutor, who said "
watch is gone," Percival handed the watch
Buckley, and all three fled. Mason and BucleleY
were captured the same night, and the latter ad.
mitted to Sergeant Briden that he was in Philrt;
street when the affray took place, but that he he"
no hand in the robbery. Percival was arrested in
~a
brothel, No. 39, Baker-street, on the 18th inst., IV
Sergeant Pullen, 10 K, and he immediately eri
claimed, " So help me —, I know nothing abell
it." Pullen said, " About what ?" to which no re'
ply was made. Pullen then informed him that he
was charged with garotting Mr. Tillman, a tailor'
and robbing him of his watch and chain. Percilla
said, "I don't know Buckley, but I know Maser',
The prosecutor stated, on a former examination, th.e"
he was requested to call at a house of ill-fame ie
Baker-street, on the morning of the 13th, before thr
examination of Buckley and Mason, and Perciceii,
was introduced to him and produced his war t
Percival said, " You shall have your watch et,
two o'clock, and a half-sovereign besides, if Y°,
will stop in this house ; but he would not con:4l
with this request. Buckley's wife gave him the
portion of his gold chain which was broken and ear:
ried away with his watch on the previous nigh",
His watch was restored to him at a pubiic-house
Stepney on the 14th inst., by a girl named Minnie'
On the deposition of the prosecutor being read tier
to him, he said he could not swear to the identity'
of Percival. Mr. Woolrych reminded Tillman
that he had positively sworn to the prisoner
a
Percival on a former occasion, and caution,
him. He then said he believed Percival
was one of those engaged in the robbery, and etch
supposed he was the person who produced the w
on the 13th at the house of ill-fame.
The solicitors engaged for the defence
voured to make it appear that a mere public-house
quarrel had taken place, and that Tillman wir_e.
" fast young gentleman," who led a dissipated if
he
The evidence, however, was conclusive that t
quarrel in the York Minster was between TinniaLl
and his friend Wilford only, and the prisonare
"hustled him up," garottcd, and robbed him ill
Philpot-street, directly after he quitted the York
endea-
voured
Minster.
The officers engaged in the case said all the prir•
soners were notorious characters and the associates
of the most desperate thieves.
Briden and Venables said they had known Yl,cB:tat
as " Long Charley" for several years, and he of
in a brothel, and was the constant associate
"Buckey." Percival, and other thieves.

Percival was convicted at the Old Bailey sessi
in September, 1859, for stealing a watch, and see-
tenced to 12 months' imprisonment and bard litho!.
At that time he proved a former conviction and

Irlt has seemed wise to the Directors to combine these ob-
ttisbiln one company, since, while all are entirely com-
lasale e, and can be very properly undertaken under one
