DARING ROBBERY.-Onthe opening of the Court
this morning, Mr. Henry being the presiding Magistrate,
Viscount Templeton, the Right H or. Fox Maule, and
several other persons of distinction took their scats on
the bench, for the purpose of Owing evidence on the
pending examination of a most, notorious thief, who
was charged with committing a (daring robbery at the
mansion of Henry Frederick and Lady Mary Stephen-
son, No. 5, Arlington-street, Piccadilly.
The person gave the name of Wm. Martin, but he
has at least a dozen aliases, anti is well known among

the police.
It appeared that a policeman on Saturday evening
saw the prisoner with a large load of great coats and
cloaks, and a walking cane under his arm, turn round
the corner of Arlington-street to Bennett-street, and
suspecting all was not right, as the prisoner was without
his shoes, he took him to the station-house. He
afterwards discovered that the property had been stolen
from No. 5, Arlington-street, where he found the pri-
soru'r's shoes, which the prisoner directly claimed as his.
The Right Hon. Fox Mettle, of No. 35, Hill-street,
Berkeley-square, stated that on Saturday evening he
was at a dinner-party at Mr. Stephenson's. Shortly
after nine o'clock an alarm was given that the hall had
been robbed, and on going into it he missed the great-
coat and cane now produced by the police-constable,
which he had left there on his arrival ; they were worth
between 71 and 8/.
Viscount Templeton identified another of the great-
coats found on the prisoner. Its value was about .5/.
Colonel Ferguson identified a pea jacket, part of the
stolen property. Its cost was about three guineas.
Joe. Benj. Heath, Esq., of No. 66, Russell-square,
identified another of the great-coats, and also a crimson
silk scarf, of the value of 5/.
The lady's maid of Miss Stephenson, the niece of
Mr. Stephenson, who was also at the dinner party,
identified a silk cloak as the property of her mistress.
The value was about 5/.
On the prisoner being asked if he had any thing to
say in his defence, he answered doggedly, " No, it's
no use my saying any thing this time."
He was fully corntnited for trial.
