WESTMINSTER.

POLICE VlGlLAsen.—John Ayres and John Smith, two
young men, were placed at the bar, charged with being de-
tected in the commission of a robbery at Chelsea.
Police-constable Frederick Chenner, 385 V, said that at
nine o'clock last night he was passing through Beaufort-
street, Chelsea, when he heard a noise like the fluttering of
fowls, at No. 37. He found the gate locked, and inquired
whether any one was there, but received no answer. He
then rang the house-bell, and on the servant coming to the
gate he inquired whether there "was any one in the fowl-
house, which ho was about approaching, when prisoner
Ayres came out of it, and directly afterwards, ad-
dressing Smith, who was still hiding in the fowl-
house, said, " You had better come out Jack, we are
fairly caught." Smith then came but and endeavoured to
escape, but witness seized them both and held them against
the wall until he received assistance to take them to the
station.

Another policeman observed that the wire-work in the
fowl-house had been broken down, and nearly twenty
pigeons were found in a sack tied up ready to take away ;
they had been removed from another part of the fowl-house,
and were yet alive. Three pheasants were stolen from the
same premises on Friday.
Mr. Arnold—Prisoners, what have you to say ?
Ayres—There's nothing gone.
Mr. Arnold—No, you were detected. You are charged
with being there with intent to commit a robbery.
Ayres—My cap was thrown over' into the ground, and I
went to get it.

Mr. Arnold—What have you to say, Smith ?
Smith—Nothing.
Mr. Arnold—Your cap was not thrown over ?
Smith—No, it wasn't.

Mr. Arnold—Went to help you friend to find his, I
suppose. It was very fortunate thst you were detected as
you were, and as there cannot be the least doubt of your
intention, I shall commit you both for three months to
hard labour in the House of Correction.
