THE ROBBERY IN VAUXHALL GARDENS.—Yesterday
Mary Ann Emery, a pretty-looking woman, but well known
on the pave, who stands charged with having robbed Mr.
J. G., a Lieutenant in a Regiment of Foot, of cash and
Bank of England notes to the amount of upwards of 601.,
in Vauxhall Gardens, on Friday evening, the sth instant,
was brought before Messrs. GREGORIE and BURRELL for
re-examination.

The prisoner was apprehended on the 7th instant by
Sergeant Otway, of the A division, but, in consequence of
the prosecutor having gone to Scotland, she had been re-
manded until he returned to town.

Lieutenant G. deposed, that on the evening of the sth
inst. he went, accompanied by a friend, to Vauxhall Gar-
dens, and while there he was accosted by the prisoner, who
remained in his company some time. She endeavoured to
persuade him to accompany her home, but he told her that
he was with a friend,•and could not leave the Gardens. She
then told him that she would sit upon a bench and await
his return. He had not left her, many minutes before he
discovered that he had been robbed of all his cash, amount-
ing to 651., and upon his return to the spot where he had
left her, she had disappeared.
Mr. GREGORIE—Had you gone into the crowd at all?
—Prosecutor—l had not, and I had only received the
money on the day previously from the army agent of my
regi men t.
Mr. GREGORIE—What did the money consist of ?
Prosreutor--Two 20/. notes, one 10/., two 5/., and five
sovereigns, all of which were secured in my purse, and de-
posited in my trowsers pocket.
Mr. GREGORIE—Are you certain that you had this
money about you when you were first accosted by the pri-
soner ?—Prosecutor—l am.

Mr. Thomas Williams, a tradesman in Lambeth, deposed
that he chanzed a 201. note for the prisoner, who had made
purchases of linen-drapery at his shop, and he had indorsed
the name of Mary Ann Emery upon it, which name the
prisoner had given.
Mr. GREGORIE—DO you recollect the amount of her
purchases ?—Witness--I do not.
Mr. GREGORIE—When was this ?—Witness—On the
Gth of August.

Joseph Bridge, an assistant of Walmsley and Co., pawn-
brokers in London-road, Southwark, deposed, that he had
known the prisoner for some time. On the 6th instant, she
came to the shop, redeemed a gold watch, and in payment
changed a 10/. note ; at the same thee she purchased a
brooch. The note was endorsed by witness, and has subse-
quently been paid into the Bank of England.
Mr. Henry William Chalk, clerk in the accountant's
office of the Bank of England produced two notes which
had been paid into the Bank, one for 20/., and the other foy
10/., and Mr. Williams identified the 20/. note as the one
he had changed for the prisoner, and the pawnbroker's as-
sistant, Bridge, fully identified the other.
Serjeant Otway stated that he had first traced the pri-
soner to Brixton, but apprehended her at her lodgings, No.
65, Vauxhall-street, Lambeth: When he took her she was
in the act of packing up all her wearing apparel, and said
that she was going for a month's sojourn into the country.
Upon questioning her, she admitted having been with the
prosecutor, but denied all knowledge of the robbery. Upon
searching her he found nine sovereigns, a quantity of silver,
a gold watch, and eleven duplicates.
The prisoner, by the advice of her attorney, declined
saying anything in her defence, and was fully committed for
trial.
