Mr. Hardwick said it was no doubt exceedingly plea-
sant to defendant to ring bells and knock at doors for
fun ; but he (Mr. H.) could assure him that it was quite
the reverse to the inabitants, who were alarmed in their
beds at such an untimely hour in the morning. As a
caution to defendant for the future, he fined him 205.,
or 10 days. The money was paid.
A LUCKY ESCAPE.—EIiza Collier and Harriet James.,
were charged before Mr. Hardwick, with stealing a gold
watch, value 181., and three sovereigns, the property of
Mr. George Henry Newton, solicitor, Marine-parade,
Brighton. Police constable Hawkes, 144 C, stated that,
about 6 o'clock this morning he was on duty in Queen's-
street, when a woman came up to him and asked him to
accompany her to No. 3, Tichtield-street, which is a com.
mon brothel, as a. gentleman had been robbed there of his
watch and some money by two women. Witness went to the
house and saw the prisoners and a gentleman, who desired
him to take charge of them, as they had robbed him of a
gold watch and some money. Witness took the pri-
soners to the station, and the gentleman accompanied
them and preferred the charge, and signed his name to
the charge-sheet. Witness afterwards returned to the
house, and on searching the bed-room, found ss. under-
neath the carpet. The watch had not been found. The
officer added, that prosecutor was not in attendance to
press the charge, and he (the officer) believed as he was
a married man, he (prosecutor) did not feel a wish to
risk an exposure. The prisoners admitted accompanying
the prosecutor to the brothel, but denied all knowledge
of the robbery. Mr. Hardwick ordered them to be
discharged.
