THE LATE ROBBERY AT Ma. RIDOITT'S.--YeS ter-
day, Benjamin Jennings, and Elizabeth, his wife, were
brought up in the custody of Sergeant Harrison, 14, and
Price, 140, of the D division, on the charge of having
been concerned in plundering the residence of C. G.
Ridout, Esq., 11, Wirapole-street, Cavendish-squire. of
plate and other property to the value of more than 200/
Some particulars connected with this case have already
appeared. Mr. Ridout, with the whole of hi.: timrly,
went into the country on the 29th of August last, leaving
his servant, Elizabeth Rogers, solely in etre of the pre-
mises; in consequence of a communication subsequently
made to him, he returned to town on the 2d of October,
when he found that his plate, &c., had been abstracted
from a cupboard, and after a most minute investigation
by the officers above alluded to, and Constable Hand-
ley, 199 D, the woman Rogers and her sister, Isa-
bella Jennings, together with John Jeoning,, the
husband of the latter, were taken up on suspicion of
being some of the guilty parties. They underwent
several examinations at this court, whence they were
ultimately committed for trial; and, on their guilt being
established to the satisfaction of a jury at the Old
Bailey, they were convicted, but from some information
given by one of the prisoners to Mr. Cope, relative to
others being mixed up in the matter, and which infor-
mation ho (Mr. Cope) made known to Lord Denman,
by whom the case was tried, his Lordship deferred the
passing of any sentence until the ensuing session. Yes-
terday, the following evidence against the prisoners,
who are closely related to the three already found guilty,
was adduced.

Mr. J. Arnott, manager to Mr. Gray, pawnbroker,
114, Fleet-street, produced two massive silver gravy
spoons, and four table ditto, upon which he advanced to
the female prisoner, on Sept. 22, the sum of 51., who was
then very respectably attired, and represented that the
articles belonged to a lady at Hackney, whose address
she at the time gave.
Mr. Ridout identified the said spoons as being a por-
tion of the plate stolen.
Sergeant Harrison, and Price, the constable, deposed to
their having on the previous evening took the prisoners into
custody in a beer shop at Tottenham. When they were told
the nature of the offence with which they were charged,
the male prisoner said he knew nothing about it, and the
wife said, " It's a very bad job; I wish I had never
known them," alluding, of course, to the prisoners now
awaiting their sentence. Handley stated that on the
night of Thursday, September 21, he saw the prisoner
Elizabeth Jennings in conversation with Mr. Ridout's
servant Rogers, on the step of his (Mr. Ridout's) door.
Many other particulars were gone into, some of which
had a strong tendency to show the 'guilt of the female
prisoner, but no evidence of anything like a conclusive
nature was brought forward against her husband, to
whom, however, much suspicion is attached, from cer-
tain observations made by him when he was captured by
the police, as before alluded to.
The prisoners, who both declared that they were en-
tirely innocent of the robbery, and asserted that the
witnesses had sworn what was false, were remanded till
Monday next; the male prisoner was told that he must
put in bad for his attendance on that day, himself in 50/,,
and two sureties in 401. each, but as he could not pro-
duce the required sureties, he and his wife were both I
conveyed to prison in the Government van.
