Two women of the town, named Gorman and Sullivan,
were also placed at the bar for re-examination on a
charge of highway robbery.
It appeared that on Tuesday night last a Mr. Turner
was walking along High•street, when he was accosted
by the prisoners, who finding that he was not inclined
to accompany them, knocked him down, and emptied
his pockets of their contents. Gorman was pursued
and taken into custody, but the other prisoner got away,
and was not apprehended until the succeeding night.
The prisoners were committed.

was merely lent on hire ; and this being the eve, how
was the prisoner to return it ? Witness—By a Queen's
messenger, on the day after that upon which he said he
was to be presented.—(Renewed laughter.)
Mr. Gunn—Well, and was it returned by a Queen's
Messenger ? Witness—Certainly not, sir ; nor by any
other messenger. We have nut seen it since, nor can we
find out where it is.

Mr. Simpson next deposed to the prisoner's ordering
from him a galvanic battery and an electrifying machine;
representing himself at the time to be in business at
Hatnburgh, and his wanting them for shipment to the
Cape. The prisoner introduced himself as the acquain-
tance of Mr. Nesbitt, who kept a highly respectable
school in hennington•lane, and by whom he had been
previously employed as a teacher of the Germa❑ hap+
guage. The representation proved to be untrue.
Edward Butt, apprentice to the last witness, said that
on taking the goods he saw the prisoner, who told him
that he had not money by hire to pay for them, but that
he had a foreign bill, and should take additional goods
from Mr. Simpson to its amount. The prisoner told him
he night take away the goods if he thought proper.
Mr. George Webb, pawnbroker, 207, High Holborn,
produced an electrifjing machine, pledged with him by
the prisoner for 355. on the very evening on which it
had been delivered by Simpson's apprentice.
Attley, the officer, gave evidence as to the duplicatesj
and other articles found at the prisoner's lodgings.
After which, the prisoner's attorney addressed the
magistrate at some length, contending that the trans.'
action with the latter amounted merely to one of credit.
That the second charge of the portmanteau fell to the
ground; and that the prisoner, in having offered Mr.)
Simpson's apprentice to take away the goods, had re-1
lieved the case of all legal criminality.
Mr. ELLIOTT remarked that there could be no doubt
that the first case was decidedly one of fraud; and asi
regarded the case of Mr. Simpson, it would be a ques-
tion for a jury. He should again remand the prisoner.

SOUTHWARK.
Henry Good, a well-dressed man, was brought before
Mr. Cottingham for re-examination, charged with being
concerned with four other men (not in custody), in as
-
nulling and robbing a Mr. Palmer, in Blackfriars-road.
It appeared that on the morning of the 26th ult., be-
tween two and three o'clock, the complainant was walk,
ing along Blaakfriars-road, near Little Surrey-street,l
when he was attacked, knocked down, and while on the
ground robbed of all the money he had about him, to-
gether with his watch, by four men. They all escaped
at the time, but on the following night the prisoner was
taken into custody in the Borough-road from the de-
scription given of him by the complainant.
Witnesses were examined on behalf of the accused,
one of whom, his landlord, swore that he was at home at
eleven o'clock on the night in question, and did not go
out again until nine the next morning; and this state-
ment was confirmed by a little boy with whom the pri-
soner slept the same night.
The prisoner was committed, but the magistrate con-
sented to take bail for his appearance, himself in 1001.,
and two sureties in 50/. each.
