DARING ROBBERY FROM A CARRIAGE.—WiIIiam Daley,
John Brown, Philip Sidney, Ann Martin, and Louise
Martin, were placed at the bar charged with being con-
cerned in stealing a leather bag from a carriage containing
property to the amount of £250, on Saturday last.
George Nichols said—On Saturday I was on a ladder
painting a house in Long •acre, when 1 saw a carriage
standing near. I saw the prisoner Sidney come from the
carriage with a black bag in his hand, which he gave to a
man who was under the ladder, and they both walked.
away. This was between two and three in the afternoon
I afterwards gave a description of the man to the police.
Henry Stanley— I live at 3, Hanover-court. Oa
Saturday afternoon I was in Long-acre, and I saw
the prisoners, Daley and Brown, come down th•
court from Long-acre running, Daley having a black bag
like the one produced in his hand. About half a dozen girls
were at the bottom of the Court, and I heard him say to
one of them, " Here take this under your petticoats." The
girl answered, " No, we don't get our living by thieving,"
and the man then threw the bag in a doorway of a coffee-
shop, in Hart-street. Behind the door Daley and Brown
were waiting, and just after Sidney came up, when they
said to him, '• Where is it 4" Daley pointed to where the

large bag was, and said "It is there;" and Sidney then I
went in and took the bag and walked down Hart-
street with it. Daley and Brown stopped behind for a
a short time, when Daley said " Its all right, old fellow,"
and they all went in the direction Sidney had gone.
a
Police Constable Cole, C 23—1 received a description of e 2
some parties who had committed a robbery, and I went to
No. 61, Dudley-street, St. Giles's. I found Brown coming
from the front room with a fish pad on his back. I had a
knowledge of him previously, as a person named M 'Gregor,
and I said, " Mac, I wantyou." He said, " What do you a
want, you're always down upon me." I said, " I want gi
you for stealing a bag from a carriage in Long Acre. He
replied, " You're down upon me again, you had me to
rights before, but you have not got me to rights this time."
I then handed him over to a police constable,
and I went into the front room and there
found Daley and Sidney (whom I knew as Morris),
some females were also in the room. Daley said, " What
do you want now, Cole ?" I said, " I apprehend both o
you, Sidney and Daley, for stealing a bag from a carriage
in Long-acre on Saturday last." Daley said it was a mis-
take. I then gave Sidney over to the police, at the same
time telling two constables to watch the females, whom I
ordered into the front room. On returning to the room
Sergeant Holmes, of the F division, and I took the two 7:
female prisoners into custody. I searched Brown, and
found on him some silk wrapped up inla yellow paper,
which I now produce. I went to the house in Dudley-
street again, and in the second floor I found the pearl neck
lace produced.

Police-constable, 24 C—l accompanied the last witness 'l,t,
to Dudley-street. On returning to Dudley-street with a
the female police searcher, upon searching the woman she g
found three foreign coins. Ann Martin said she had -c}s
had them some time, but afterwards said she picked them
up. On the mantel-shelf I found the knife produced.
Mrs. Green, the female searcher, confirmed the evidence
of this witness, as to the account Ann Martin gave of the
•
coins.

Sergeant Holmes—Yesterday morning I went to 61, 13,
Dudley-street, with Sergeant Cole. He went up stairs, and
1 went down to the cellar with a light. I there found bid g
in a dark place the leather bag 1 produce, with the name '4
and address on it. In it I found the spirit flask, scent bottle,
tooth brush, and an old purse containing some foreign coins.
Poliee-constable Ackrell said—ln a dust-hole in the yard
of the house 61, Dudley-street, I found the two rings I
produce. I know all three prisoners to be companions of
thieves.

Mrs. Alethea Adelaide East said—l am the wife of
Joshua East, of No. 7, Curzon-street, May-fair. On
Saturday afternoon the bag produced was lost from our
carriage, I had loft the bag on the front seat, and on my
retuin I found it had been stolen. I value the contents of

it at about £250. I lost five foreign coins in the tag. I
believe those produced to be the same.
On the prisoners being asked what they had to say in
answer to the charge,
Daley said—l'm not guilty. I went to the house when
the police took me to get a clean shirt.
Brown said—l was coming down Monmouth-street when
I went up to the room to look for my sister, when I was
taken. I'm not guilty.
The Magistrate said he should remand the prisoners in
order to give the police time to discover the other valuables
contained in the big.
