CHARGE OF HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—Joseph Glisson, in
appearance a respectable man, was charged' with stop.
ping a lady named Barnes in Manor-place, Walworth-
road. in company with another individual, and robbing
her of her purse, containing a sovereign and some silver
and a cheque for 91. on Weston and Young's Bank Pi--
the Borough.
From the evidence of Mrs. Barnes it appeared that on
Tuesday, the 13th of July, about 11 o'clock in the
evening, she was returning home, w:leri she was met by
the prisoner and another man in Manor-Place, Walworth.
She suspected that ,they intended to rob her, and she
placed her hand in such a manner in her pocket as she
thought would protect her purse. When .they had
passed her she found it gone, and the next morning at an
early hour she proceeded to Weston's bank; where she
saw the prisoner, who had presented the cheque, and
who sbr immediately recognised as one of. the persons
who robbed her. The prisoner, who was immediately
taken into ctistody;denied the cnarge of the robbery,
and stated that he had received the cheque from a person
who owed him munt.y. On the case being. taken before
the magistrate he refused to commit the prisoner for the
robbery, pettnitting him to go at large on bail, at the
same time stating that the prosecutrix might, if she
chose. prefer an indictment against him at the Central
Criminal Court, whiCh she had done. The grand -jury
found a true bill against the prisoner, upon which he.
Was .now placed on his trial.
