MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

HEARTLESS ROBBRRY BY FOREIGNERS.--Auguste Du-
pey rat, a clerk, and Lem Langlois, a waiter, were charged
before Mr. Knox with stealing the sum of £59 from Charles
von Meerbagen, a wititer out of place, lodging at the Lord
Belgrave, Spur-street, Leicester-square.
Mr. Albert interpreted. _ _ _

The prosecutor, who spoke pretty good English, said
that yesterday morning he left his lodgings, leaving a sum
of money in his drawers. About one o'clock he returned,
and seeing the prisoners at the bar of the house, treated
them to some drink and cigars. He afterwards took them
up to his bedroom, and told the landlady to bring up three
glasses of beer. He afterwards went to his drawer to get
out the money to pay for it, which the prisoners saw. He
(prosecutor) then went down stairs, and directly after the
prisoner Langlois ran down stairs, and was then followed by
the other. On going up stairs he found all the drawers in
confusion, and his money (Z 59) gone. He afterwards seized
Langlois and took him to the station, when he said he did
not take the money, but that his friend (Dupeyrat) had
done so. He had got the numbers of the notes. [The pro-
secutor read from his pocket-book the numbers, which he
said he had taken two months ago.]

Sergeant Horsey, 6 C, said that yesterday, at 5 o'clock,
he was called to 5, Spur-street, by prosecutor, and told that
Langlois and another had robbed him. He asked Langlois
what he had got in his pockets, when he said " What right
have you to search me—my friend has got the money and
not me." The prosecutor then took him up to his bedroom
and showed him where the money had been taken from,
and the number of the notes. He then took Langlois into
custody when he gave a correct address, On searching
him he found only a trifle in money.
John Bolter, a constable of the C Division, said he found
Dupeyrat at his lodgings 19, Leicester-street, Regent-
street, and took him into custody. At the station on
searching him, he found upon him £4O in notes (produced)
and £3 17s. in cash, and also some duplicates.
Mr. Albert having read over the evidence to the
prisoners,
Mr. Knox committed them for trial.

John Fisher, a stableman, was charged with violently
assaulting Wm. David, by striking him on the head with a
large stone, the'prosecutor being so badly assaulted that he
was obliged to be taken to St. George's Hospital, and he
appeared in court with his head nearly covered with
bandages.

Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner for a week that he
might see the state of the injured man.

CRIMINAL CO URI. —(Y esterday).

OLD COURT.

ALLEGED MURDER NEAR FITZROY-SQUARE.
Charles Francis Cotier was indicted for the wilful mur-
der of Elizabeth Corby.
The jury found the prisoner guilty of manslaughter.
Sentence was deferred.

NEW COURT.
ALLEGED CHILD MURDER.

Susan Arter, lately in the service of Madame Goldsmid
Lind, was indicted for the wilful murder of her illegitimate
child.

From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner delivered
herself of the child in question, and afterwards put it in a
box; but, on being questioned by Mr. Otto Goldsmid she
at first denied, but afterwards admitted the fact, and
pointed out the box in which the body was concealed.
On the body being taken out marks of violence were dis-
covered about the throat. The surgeon who was called
in was of opinion that the child had been born alive.
After a very impressive address from Mr. Sleigh on be-
half of the prisoner,

The jury acquitted her of the murder, but found her
guilty of concealing the birth of the child.
Mr. Justice Keating sentenced the prisoner to 15 months
imprisonment.
