IMPUDENT ROBBERY.--Yesterday, George Sutton,
known as a convicted thief, and two females, named
Jane tl'innett and Sarah Paul," were placed at the bar
betore Mr. Tyrwhitt, the man charged with stealing, and
the others with receivitig, a watch belonging to the Me-
tropolitan Commissioners of Sewers.

John Disney, clerk of the works, said that the
watch in question had been risced for general use in a
shed in the New North. road, 11,xton, where some works
were in progress, and he saw it there safe at two o'clock
on Monday.afternoon, but an hour-afterwards he disco
vered that, public as the situatiim was, the shed had been
bniken
,intoi, and the watch stolen. It now appeared
that it pledged the slime evening by the prisoner

Paul, who lived with Winnett and Sutton, who we 7-1
successively apprehend3d. They denied all knowleilge
of it; hilt on the way to the station-house, Sutton pro-
duced the pawn ticket, which, and the watch itself, were
now produced.—The prisoners were remanded.
TEE CASE OF HEARTLESS DESERTION OF ♦N IN-
FANT.—Hannah Murphy, a young Irishwoman, was re-
examined upon a charge of deserting and dangerously
exposing her child, which was found in the evening of
Saturday se'nnight, in the passage of a house , in
John's-row, St. Luke's, and narrowly escaped being
trampled to death
Evidence was now given, from which it appeared that
only three weeks ago the prisoner was admitted into
Marylebone workhouse, so far advanced in the
family way that before the nurse could get
her to bad she gave birth*to a fine male child. After
remaining there eleven days she discharged
herself from the workhouse, taking the infant with
her. That was Saturday se'nnight, but the Monday
afterwards she returned to the workhouse without the
child, and, being asked by the nurse what she had thine
with it, she said she had met with its father, and writ
into a public house to speak and drink with him, giving
her infant to a woman to hold for her in the mean time,
bat when she returned the woman had disappeared with
the child.

The prisoner now made the same statement in her de-
fence, adding that she returned to the Mary lebone work.
house in Consequence of her having been told by a friekid
that she would again find her child there.
The magistrates committed her for trial at the sessions,
Dixon, one of the beadles of St. Luke's parish, beffig
bound over to prosecute her.

STABBING, WITS INTENT TO MURDER.—James Mir-
ky, an Irish cooper, of No. 6, Griffin-street, Shadwell,
was brought up on remand from the previous day,
charged with cutting and wounding Margaret Putt, a
married woman, at an early hour on Sunday morning
last, at the house No. 10, John-street, St. George-in-the-
East. It appeared that the prisoner was carrying on an
adulterous intercourse with a woman known by the
name of Fitz, the wife of a sailor now at,sea, and that
he was quarrelling with her at two o'clock on Sunday
morning, and began to ill-use her. Her screams were
heard by the people' in the room below, and .among
others by the woman Putt, who said she would see Mrs.
Fits's righted, and went upstairs for that purpose. She
was immediately attacked by the prisoner in the dark,
and the fellow inflicted several wounds upon her with
a knife. She returned to the apartment she had left
bleeding copiously, and said she was stabbed. The
woman became quite exhausted from the excessive he-
morrhage which took place. She received three incised
wounds on the left' arm, and a punctured' wound in the
abdomen, which had nearly cost her her life. If it had
been a quarter of an inch deeper she would have ex-
pired almost immediately. She was removed to the
London Hospital, where she has ever since remained,
and although it was stated by Hope, a police-constable
who has charge of the case, that she was progressing as
favourably as could be expected, it would be a week or
ten days before she can be removed. The prisoner was
apprehended soon after he had committed the atrocious
act by Normogle, a police-constable (No. 133, H), and
his only excuse was, that if he did stab the woman,
he must have been drunk at the time.

The prisoner was again remanded for a week.
