MARYLEBOIVE.

ROBBERY.—Ann Simmons, Robert Simmons, and Wil-
liam Hickman, were yesterday placed at the bar, having
been remanded, on a charge of stealing goods to a
large amount, the property of Mr. Marshall, her em-
ployer, and the other prisoners with having received
the same.

Mr. Ballantine appeared for Hickman, and Mr.
Clarkson appeared for the prosecution.
The depositions of the witnesses who had already
been examined, having been read over,
Mr. Marshall was called, and in reply to Mr. Bal-
lantyne stated, that on the first occasion when he
called at Mr. Hickman's he did not leave his name
and address. On the Thursday morning he received
all the information he required at Mr. Hickman's,
upon giving his name and address.
Thomas Jessom examined—Had been appointed
a special constable on the 23d of October.
Went with Mr. ;Marshall to Simmons's, and
went round the house. The prisoner said,
whatever Mr. Marshall claims let him have.
He found property which he (Mr. Marshall) claimed.
Mr. Marshall said he was in search of the hair trunk,
and Mr. Simmons said he would show where it was.
He then went to Miss Simmons's house. Miss Sim-
mons was the sister of Mr. Simmons. Mr. Sim-
mons went to the farm and brought out the
hair trunk. This trunk contained property be-
longing to the prosecutor. Assisted in carrying
it into the yard. Mr. Marshall then took it to Lei-
cester. Was sent for again on the same day, and
was told by Mrs. Simmons to go to Miss Simmons's
barn and fetch a chest. Mr. Marshall was present.
He did as he was directed, and the chest produced
was taken away by Mr. Marshall. The box weighed
two hundred and three-quarters. The straw was
loose about it. Simmons did not say a word about
the contents of the box.

Mr. Clarkson said that he might bring another
member of the family of the unfortunate female into
this matter,ibut as he had not received instructions to
that effect he would not do so. That was all the evi-
dence he proposed to adduce at present. Subse-
quently, however, the Learned Counsel called
Mary Burton, the laundress of Mr. Hickman, who
stated that the female prisoner had slept at Mr. Hick-
man's the night before the discovery of the property.
The female prisoner had access to Mr. Hickman's
chambers.

Mr. Ballantyne said he trusted that the magis-
trate would accept the same amount of bail as
had been already received. His client, he was bound
to admit, was still deeply attached to the unfortunate
female prisoner, and he had been led into an indis-
cretion through that attachment, but under all cir-
cumstances he would leave the matter in the Magis-
trate's hands, merely stating there were present
several witnesses as to the character of his client, who
was a respectable merchant.
Mr. RaouGyeToN said as there was no objection on
the part of the counsel for the prosecution, he would
not object to taking bail for Hickman.

The further hearing of the case was then postponed
till this day week, and Jessom was bound over to
appear then.

Yesterday JameSs°B7rdT,HaWyj 431 uRnKg. man in woman's
attire, was brought before Mr. Cottingham, on the fol-
lowing charge :
Policeman No. 45 M stated, that between three and
four o'clock that morning, while on duty at Shad-
Thames, his attention was arrested by observing the
prisoner dressed as a woman walking with a man to-
wards an unfrequented spot. Having his suspicions
aroused, although at the time he was ignorant of the
prisoner's sex, he followed them at some distance, and
saw them act in such a manner that he hastened for-
ward and secured the prisoner, who was lying on the
ground. The man who was with him at the time, on
perceiving him (the policeman) approach, immedi-
ately took to his heels, and made his escape down one
of the streets in the neighbourhood; and the prisoner
was forthwith conveyed to the station-house, where
he confessed his real sex, and said that he assumed the
disguise of a woman for a spree.
Mr. COTTINGJIAM said that he had not words suffi-
ciently strong to express his disgust at the recital of
the prisoner's conduct on the occasion, and that he
lamented the man who was in his company was not
also taken into custody. The magistrate then asked
the prisoner who and what he was, and where he
lived ? To which he replied that he was a waiter out
of place, and lived in Bear-yard, Lincoln's Inn-fields.
Mr. COTTINGHAM—For what purpose did you as-
sume the garb of a woman in which you now appear ?
Prisoner—The fact is, I went to a fancy dress ball,
and drank until I became intoxicated.
Mr. COTTINGHAM—Where was the ball given ?
Prisoner—l don't know the name of the place.
Mr. COTTINGHABI—Do you know the man who
was seen in your company, as represented by the
policeman ? Prisoner—l know nothing about it, I
was so drunk ; in fact, I was not aware that any man
was with me at the time.
In answer to further questions he said, that since he
had been out of a situation he had sold artificial
flowers about town, and he added that he was not a
married man.

The policeman was here asked if the prisoner was
drunk, and his answer was that he appeared to have
been drinking, but he was not so intoxicated as not to
know what he was about.

tended a fancy dress ball, but he suspected he went
out in female attire for some horrible purpose. He
should have assuredly sent him for trial if his com •
panion had been secured, but that not having been
effected, he would adjudge the prisoner to enter into
his own recognizance of 1001., and find two sureties
of 50/., and to be imprisoned until those sureties were
found. The magistrate directed that exertions should
be used to take the other man into custody, in which
case he should commit them both for trial.
WESTMINSTER.
Ellen Mottram and Jane Ince, two women of the
town, were charged with hocussing and robbing a
gentleman named Seacombe, whose health has been
impaired by the drug administered..
It appeared that a short time since a private soldier
of the Grenadier Guards, named Sloddy, was com-
mitted to prison for having been found at Agate.

been recently stolen, but at that time it was not
_
known who had been implicated with him in the
felony. On Saturday the 20th ult., Lewis, a corporal
in the 2d battalion of Grenadier Guards, was stand-
ing near the barracks at the bottom of Castle-street,.
Leicester-square, when the prisoner Mottram cm"
up, and, entering into conversation witEr
asked him whether he knew a man belonging to MS
battalion named Sloddy, and on the corporal replyillic:
in the affirmative, she said that he (the corporal), ( 4--
course, knew that he was in prison, and added " tb
he was a d— fool, and had he done as she I
desired him he would not have been detect ed•
She then informed the corporal that she met the
gentleman near the National Gallery one night,
took him to Westminster, where he gave her hall "'
sovereign to procure some wine with. She got the
wine, and, having drugged a portion of it with
danum, gave it to the gentleman, who soon fell asl 04).
She then took his watch from his pocket, and Ler

half-crowns from his pocket, but, as that was all -t)
he
had, and " they did'nt like to leave the poor "*"..
without a penny," they put one of the half-crol 015
back in his pocket. The prisoner Mottram, I ;er
