MARLBRO'-STREET-7(THIS DAY.)

John Lawrence and Eutest Sultz, two very respect-
ably dressed young men, were charged with robbing a
young lady's pocket of a sovereign, iu an omnibus.
Maria Louisa Hammond said she and her sister got
into an omnibus at Hungerford- market, and sat down on
opposite sides. The prisoners afterwards entered the om-
nibus and sat down, Sultz near the witness, and Lawrence
on the opposite side, close to her sister. It was not long
before a suspicious twitch at her bag, and a handling of
her mantilla put her on her guard, and excited her at-
tention to whatever might follow. She then observed
Lawrence, with his right glove off, fummelling about the
side of her sister, but not yet being satisfied of the cri-
minal designs of either of the parties, she determined
to watch them. Sultz saw this and pressed the toe of
his companion opposite, and threw himself in different
attitudes, so as, if possible, to prevent her view. She
watched, however, and saw Lawrence withdraw his
hand from her sister's side, and place something in his
left waistcoat pocket. This convinced her that a rob-
bery had been committed ; but yet, not to be too preci-
pitate, she asked her sister to lesid her some money.
Her sister, not aware of what had been going on, and
supposing this request at first was in mere joke, hesitated,
but afterwards pulled out her purse, and found the sove-
reign,: which had been there just immediately before,
was gone, and the ring nearly off: Witness, therefore,
charged Lawrence with robbing her sister, and begged
the aid and protection of some of the gentlemen in the
vehicle. Lawrence, of course, denied having taken the
sovereign, but on the mention of a policeman he was for
leaving the omnibus. This was prevented, as no rolice-
man could be met, until the omnibus drove up to Mary'
lebone-lane station.
Tho prisoners were searched at the station-house, and
on Lawrence were found, in his left waistcoat pocket one
sovereign and a half, some silver in the other pockets,
and two diamond rings on his fingers ; on Sultz tore.eg
sovereigns in one pocket. one sovereign and a be
folded in paper in another, a gold pin in paper, some
silver, and a paper attesting the owner's former acquaint-
ance with the penitentiary.
Mr. BINGHAM would have committed them then, bilh
