WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 8, 1848.

tutor and his friend, who were most anxious to get
out of the house, consented, and the latter went to pro-
cure it. During his absence the female prisoner suddenly
pinioned the prosecutor, and calling the male prisoner
" Tcln," told him to take the prosecutor's watch, which
he immediately set about doing. The prosecutor offered
a stout resistance, and retained his hold of the watch as
lung as he could, but was overpowered, and it was taken
from him with so much violence that the seals and key
were broken off t;ie chain by which they were attached
to the watch, the male prisoner, during the struggle,
biting the prosecutor, in order to make him loose his hold
of the propa.ty. The female prisoner then threw the pro-
secutor down, and held him while her companion escaped
with his booty. She then ran out, but was met by a con-
stable at the door, who had been attracted by the prose-
cutor's cries of " Murder and police," who insisted upon
her accompanying hint into the house, where the prose-
cutor gave her into custody. The male prisoner was at
large until the night of the 2d inst., when he was appre-
hended by Sergeant Loome, a very intelligent and active
officer of the B division.

Prosecutor stated that since the prisoners had been in
custody his watch had been restored to him, accompa-
nied with a letter signed " Mary lleak," requesting, in
the most earnest terms, that he would not go on with
the prosecution.

The female prisoner, who denied all knowledge of the
letter, contented herself with stating that her companion
was not the man who assisted her in the robbery.
The male prisoner said that he was not at the house at
the time of the robbery; that he knew nothing-about it,
and added, "In the same house there's ti cabman named
Tom, and why not him as well as me?"
The prisoners were committed for trial at the Central
Criminal Court.
