VOLICE INTELLIGENCE.

HAT T 0 ARDE N.—Yesterday Henry Day, a working sil-
versmith, residing at No. 3, Wilderness-row, Clerkenwell, was
brought up for final examination, charged with feloniously forg-
ing and counterfeiting the Hall Stamp of the Goldsmiths' Com-
pany, on several articles of silver plate sold by him.
Mr. Sykes attended on behalf of the Crown, and Mr. Hum-
phries for the prisoner.
James George Stevens, a pawnbroker, living at 83, Shore-
ditch, about the beginning of December, 1821, gave pri-
soner an order for two pair of butter ladles, which he de-
livered on the Bth or 9th of the same month, together with
a fish slice ; he delivered his bill for the amount at the time,
which was paid him ; he charged 18s. 2d. stamp duty on the
two butter ladles, and ss. Bd. stamp duty on the fish
slice. The pair of butter ladles now produced, and the
fish slice, were those bought at the time from the prisoner.
Mr. George Miles, Inspector of Stamps at Goldsmiths'
Hall, deposed, that the pair of butter ladles and fish slice then
produced, he received from the last witness, and that on exam-
ining them, he found that all the marks and stamps on them
were forged and counterfeit.
The prisoner, by the advice of his solicitor, declined making
any defence, and was fully committed for trial.
LAMBETII.STREET. Yesterday John Bailey, John
Bridges, Win. Burley, and Thomas York, were brought up
in custody of Gibbs, Ellis, and Hewit, of the Bow-street pa.
trol, charged with the perpetration of a most audacious robbery.
Gibbs, who is conductor of a party of patrole stationed at the
east end of the Metropolis, stated that the neighbourhood of
Stratford, Bow, and Mile-end, was for sometime back infested
by a formidable gang of robbers, who carried oh their avocations
in that district, having robbed several dwelling-houses, &c.
He and his party, while going their rounds 'on Saturday night,
happened to fall in with the prisoners at the Angel, at Strat-
ford, all of whom they recognised as Old Bailey acquaintances,
and conveyed them to the watchhouse.
Benjamin Arches stated that he was a private 17?tchman in
the employ of Mr. Thompson, in Mile-end-road, and that at an
early hour a few mornings ago, while on duty in his master's
garden, he was suddenly assailed by some ruffians, who, after
beating him most unmercifully, robbed him of his gun with
which they escaped, leaving behind them a stick with a dirk in
it, which he now produced.
The witness, on giving this testimony, was desired to take a
minute survey of the prisoners, and see if he could identify any
of them as being concerned in the robbery. He did so, and
instantly pointed out Bailey, who he said lie was certain was
one of the persons engaged in robbing and beating him, but he
could not speak to any of the others.
The prisoner Bailey was ordered to be remanded for further,
examination on this charge, and the other three were committed
for one month each to the House of Correction at Barking, they
having been apprehended in the county of Essex.

was sold at Boyd's fruit shop,. Prince's-street. The fruit ap.
peared to be large, and of fine quality, and were grown by Mr.
