WESTMINS7'ER.

Mr. John Daly, of No. 4, Providence-place, Vauxhall-
road, surgeon, was charged with tho following serious
robbery:—

Mr. -Moses Morgan, of No. 40. "Millbank-street,
West-
minster, chemist, stated that on Monday week he left
London in company with the prisoner, and proceeded to I
Aberdeen, where they arrived on Wednesday, the Ist
of August. After dining they engaged a sleeping-room
between them at Mrs. Drummond's, a private house, No.
17, Upper Kirkgate. Late in the evening they went
into a tavern and had two bottles of Scotch ale, and
while drinking it the prosecutor made a remark to the
prisoner that the liquor ta.sted:as though it had laudanum
in it. They then proceeded to their lodgings, between
ten and eleven o'clock, and, being in a strange place,
the prosecutor, not content with the ordinary fastening
of the door, placed a chair between it and the foot of the
bedstead, so that no person could enter unless the chair
was removed by some person inside. The prosecutor
having placed his waistcoat, containing a 201. note and
five 51. notes, under his pillow, his gold watch upon
the table, and his trousers, containing some sovereigns
and silver, on a chair, went to bed and fell asleep, the
prisoner at that time sitting up in the same room smok-
ing. Oa awaking, at four o'clock in the morning, he
found the prisoner gone, and also his notes, the waist-
coat having been removed from under his pillow, his
watch, the money from his trousers, and the numbers of
the notes from his card-case, which he had left in his
coat-pocket. He immediately instituted inquiries, and
found that a person answering the prisoner's description
had started from Aberdeen by the mail at twelve o'clock
on the night of the robbery. The prisoner had never
expressed the slightest intention of leaving Scotland, but
was to have continued with the prosecutor and returned
with him to London on the Saturday following. On Sa-
turd iy the prisoner was apprehended by Sergeant Fos-
ter, B division, at his own residence, who found at the
house 24 sovereigns and several papers and letters, one
bearing the Edinburgh postmark.
Mr. Russell, the superintendent of the B division,
said, as the case must ultimately go to Aberdeen, the
prisoner had better be remanded for a few days, by
which time sufficient evidence would be obtained for the
authorities at Aberdeen to commit upon.
Mr. BURRELL acquiesced, and remanded the prisoner
until Thursday.

DEPARTURE OF THE COUNTESS
OF LANDSFELDT AND MR. HEALD.

As soon as the proceedingsl at Marlborough-street
Police Court were ended, the Countess of Landsfeldt
and Mr. Heald resumed their preparations for a
continental visit, which the appearance of the police
had interrupted, with great alacrity, and in a few
hours were on the:South-Eastern Railway, with their
luggage
,marked " Cadiz." Some surprise has been
expressed at the tranquil and subdued demeanour of
the Countess when before the magistrate. From the
lady's exciteable temperament, a " scene" was looked
for, but this did not occur, probably because it had
already taken place in the house in Half-Moon-street
when the officers made their appearance and an-
nounced the object of their visit to the lady. The
officers, we understand, had orders to be in attendance
to meet the solicitor and Mrs. Heald at half-past
eight o'cl,,ck, in Half Moon-street, in order
.that no
mistake might occur in the execution of the warrant.
Apparently the lady and her spouse had a correct
notion of the proceedings which bad been commenced
by the aunt, for preparations for packing up were
concluded, and the travelling carriage was at the door
by nine o'clock on Monday. morning. The officers
were about to relinquish their object, as the
Countess had entered the passage, just before steppine,
into the travelling carriage, when a cab Caine into
the street, and in it were the solicitor and the aunt,
who had been somewhat delayed' on their journey.
The officers, accompanied by the solicitor and the
aunt, immediately entered the house, and on seeing
Mr. Heald, who was personally known to the officers,
from the circumstance of their having been employed
by Mr. Heald in a case of robbery by his servant,
they mentioned the disagreeable purport of their visit.
The Countess of Lansfeldt was immediately after-
wards informed that she must consider herself in
custody, upon which the energetic nature of the lady
shone forth instantaneously. The Countess exhibited
all the appearance of excessive passion, using strong
phrases both in French and English, hustling her
husband about vigorously, pushing Mrs. Heald on
one side, and kicking two or three favourite dogs
right and left. The officers waited until the storm
subsided, and then declared they must do their duty.
The lady was again in a fiery mood, said she always
carried poison about her, at the same time pointing to
a small pocket in her dress, apparently containing a
phial, and that she could easily destroy herself if mo-
lested. At length a calm succeeded, and the husband
was dispatched to get the company of Capt. Osborne,
or Lord Brougham, the latter Learned Lord having, as
asserted by the Countess, procured her a regular divorce
from Captain James. Tee Countess of Landsfeldt was
then taken to the Vine-street station-house in order to
have the charge booked. By this time the Countess
had cooled down completely. She was very gracious
with the inspectors and superintendent, and after apo-
logizing for the trouble she bad given, begged permis-
sion to light a cigar. The superintendent declared it
was against the regulations. The Countess would
not be refused, and having politely expressed her re-
gret that the superintendent would not join her in a
social whiff, lighted a cigar and smoked herself into
