THE LATE ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY

IN THE STRAND.

At Bow-street, on Saturday, James Boyd, a groom,

Joseph Floyd, cab-master, and Edward Symes, a cab-
man, were brought up for re-examination, before Mr.
Henry, charged with the robbery of nearly 2000/. worth
of jewellery, the property of Messrs. Alexander and
Co., of Hatton-garden. The woman Pullen, who was
originally charged, in conjunction with Boyd, as an
accomplice, was admitted as a witness for the Crown, by
permission of his worship, it having transpired that she
had sent for Serjeant Poc ock, one of the officers entrusted
with the case, and volunteered a statement of all the cir-
cumstances attending the robbery.
Mr. Wontner, the solicitor, of Skinner-street, con-
ducted the prosecution ; and Mr. Parry, the barrister,
was retained for the defendant Floyd.
Charles Boyd, brother of the first prisoner, repeated
the evidence given at the last examination, relative to
the disclosures made to him by the latter while in the
House of Detention, and to his subsequent interview
with Floyd and Symes, who admitted their share in the
robbery, and accused each other of having appropriated
the money.

The prisoner Boyd—My brother's statement is all
false ; he has invented every word of it.
Symes—lt's well known that he is a bad character,
and has been heard to swear that he would do anything
to raise some money.
Witness—Then how could I know all the facts; of the
case if I had'nt been told ?
Cross-examined by Mr. Parry—l have been i n. prison
twice for felony, and I was committed each time for
three months. It was for being concerned wit b. others
in two robberies. They both occurred 12 or 1 3 years
ago, and I have never been committed, except once for
being drunk, since that time. I have been a pot man at
the Talbot public-house, Gray's-inn-lane, but have had
no employment latterly. I have lived partly on my
pension as a seaman, which is 12/. a-year, and pa rtly on
the earnings of my wife, who goes out ironing.
Elizabeth Pullen deposed that she was an unfortunate
girl, living in Holborn-buildings. She had kn own the
prisoner, Symes, for 12 months, and was introduced by
him, about six weeks ago, to James Boyd (Mr. Alexan-
der's coachman). On 10th December, Boyd gave her a
ring, which she pawned, and after this Symes gave her
two other rings, at a public-house in Crow n -court,
Fleet-street, telling her to take care of them until next
day. At the same time Symes gave her the d a plicate
relating to a gold pin, stating that he feared so m ething
had been found out, and he must go away. She showed
the rings to a companion, named Susan Kelly, i:h.e same
night. A day or two afterwards Symes came to her in
a great passion, and said, " You have shown than rings
to somebody, and you want to put me away. If you
do I'll put your light out." He also said (in reference
to the stolen property), " I can defy you, for it; is all
melted." On the following Saturday she saw Syn tes and
Boyd in conversation together in the Strand, a; id joined
them in something to drink at the George Hotel. Symes
asked her if she had the rings and duplicate writ h her,
and she said she had not. They all went off in a cab to
Gray's-inn-lane, when Symes went to his lod gi ngs in
Liquorpond-street, and Boyd went home with h He
gave her ss. on that occasion, and 10s. on C hr istmas
night, when she spent the evening at Susan Kelly 's, and
heard for the first time who Boyd's master ways, The
next week Boyd gave her several half-soverei“n s, and
asked her what she wanted to buy. On the S at urday
she received 3/. from him to buy a cloak, and, to get
some articles out of pledge. The following w e ek she
went with him to Woburn-mews to see Floyd', about
some money. Boyd had told her that Symes h. ad re-
fused to give him any more, and he meant to see t . Floyd
about it, as he had something to do with it. Wh ett they
got to the mews, Floyd and Boyd had some cony( ration
together privately, after which Boyd called to her a ndlsaid,
" Didn't Simes give you two rings to take care of ? " Wit-
ness replied, " Yes." Floyd then said that Syme c was a
rascal, and might have got them all locked up. Boy. i ..asked
him what cab he took the things away in ? Floyd IN ;plied
cc It was my own cab, and Symes must have pic ke d up
the rings in the cab." Boyd asked him if he hut nif, -what

had been done with the property ? Floyd said, that he
and Symes took it over the water, and it was all melted.
He also promised Boyd that if he (Boyd) should get into
touble, he would take care to get a solicitor for him.
Floyd added, that the money he had got out of the job
had done him no good. Boyd asked him bow much the
things fetched, and he replied 951. After this they all
went to Liquorpond-street, and the two prisoners left her
to go to Symes. She waited at the corner of the street,
and saw them altogether, with Mrs. Symes, who was cry-
ing. Witness did not hear their conversation. Boyd
came back to witness afterwards, and went home to her
lodgings, where he told her that he had been robbed of
his share of the money, and swore that he would either
shoot Symes or himself, or " split" about it. Witness first
heard the particulars of the robbery from the printed
handbills in the windows, and it was after this that Boyd
told her that he, and Symes, and Joe (meaning Floyd),
had done it. Witness was taken into custody on Friday
week, since which time she had sent for the police to
make a statement.
The prisoner Symes, with unblushing effrontery, said
that he knew nothing of the woman (Pullen), nor she of
him, although he might have seen her in the course of
his life.

Mr. Henry—She says she has known you for twelve
months.

Symes—That may be.
Pullen was cross-examined by Mr. Parry without any
damaging results. She said her brother and landlady
had advised her to tell the truth.

Mr. Henry remanded the prisoners for another week.
