ROBBERIES IN COFFEE- SHOPS.—A young man of respect-
able appearance, named Frederick Pearce, described as a car-
penter, we, brought before Mr. MtrosuuLL for re-examination.
charged with having committed robberies in sev .r.t;
shops in tie following systematic manner.
The lint case gone into was that of Mr. Hudson, propri,tor
of a coffee-shop in Charles-street, Covent-garden, i)ich
partly been disposed of on a fOrmer hearing.
Geor:e Willis, a youth who acts as waiter for Mr. Hudson,
stated, that on Thursday the 15th inst., about four o'clock in
the afternoon the prisoner came to his master's house alone,
and hating gone up stairs to a room on the first floor, he
ordered a cup of tea and some bread and butter to be brought.
which being' served, three other persons came in for refresh-
ments and remained for some time. After they had gone
away witness went up stairs and saw the clock safe in the
room, No other person was in the room at the time but tha
prisoner, and he ordered The Sun newspaper to be brought
to him Witness went down to fetch the newspaper, and on
his return was met by the prisoner, who had his great CO;17
thrown over his shoulder with something bulky under it,
and in a flurried manner said, " Never mind the paper, now,
as I shall realm in an hour and read it." On going into the
roam in a few minutes after, witness observed that the works
of the clock produced had been taken away out of the case,
and he never saw the prisoner until he was in custody.
Police-Constable Boyd, 35 F division, proved that from
kformation he had received he apprehended the prisoner, and
upon searching him he found the pincers and screwdriver pro-
duced, which, upon comparison, appeared to have been used
in removing the works of the clock from the case.
Mr. MIN,TnuLt considered the case to be clearly made out,
and on inquiring if any other charge was about to be preferred,
was informed there were several.

Jane Clark, waitress at Mr. Wetton's coffee-shop, 29,
Coventry-street, Haymarket, deposed, that about eight o'clock
on the morning of the Bth inst., the prisoner came and ordered
breakfast. After she had served him with whatever be re•
quired, he requested, on her going down stairs, that she would
leave the door of the room open. The prisoner was alone at
the time, and on her return tc the room in half an hour after,
she missed the clock, which was safe in the room when she
went down stairs.

Mary Anne Ward, the cook, recollected the day in question,
when she saw a man resembling the prisoner come out of her
master's house, with a Mackintosh cloak thrown across his
shoulder, with something bulky concealed underneath. The
clock was stolen on the same day, and it was valued at $l.
Arthur Campion, 5, Prince's-street, Holborn, billiard-table-
maker, stated, that on the 27th October, about four o'clock in
the afternoon, he was sitting in the Lamb public-house, Turn-
stile, Holborn, when the prisoner entered with another young
man, and took a seat. Witness went out, and remained away
until five o'clock, leaving the prisoner, his companion, and Mr.
Webber the landlord, in the room. On his return in about 20
minutes, the works of the clock, which were safe on bis going
out, were missed.
Mr. William Webber proved that he left the room for ten
minutes, and on his return the prisoner was gone with his
companion, and the clock which he valued at 21. was taken
away.

Maria Embson, waitress to Mrs. Reaan, Coffee-shop
keeper, 13, John-street, Oxford-street, stated that on the 113 d
October, about six o'clock in the evening, the prisoner, with
another young man, came in and called for tea and coffee.
There were three or lour persons in the room at the time, but
they left immediately. On bearing the bell ring, went into the
room, and received payment from the prisoner for his refresh-
in: it. He remained about a quarter of an hour after, and on
witi,i.4- cTitering the room, she found that the works of the
clock, value 31. had been taken away. They were subse-
quently found pledged at the shop of Mr. Bayliss, pawnbroker,
Mortim..r.street, Cavendish-square.
In addition to the above charges, several persons were in
attendance, at whose houses the prisoner had lodged for the
last six months, from whom he had stolen a quantity of pro-
perty, but it was not considered requisite to take their
depositions.

Mr. MiNsnum. directed the prisoner to be fully committed
on the first charge, and to be detained on the others.
