MARLBRO'-STREET—(f HIS DAY.)
ROBBERY IN AN OMNIBUS.—Mary Jones and Jane
Wilson, two pickpockets, who are well known to the
police, were placed at the bar, before Mr. Hardwick,
charged with robbing a lady, named Norris, of her
purse, containing four sovereigns and other money,
while in an omnibus.

Lindon, a detective officer, belonging to the Great
Western Railway Company, stated that, on Saturday
evening, about seven o'clock, on the arrival of the third-
class train at Paddington, he saw the two prisoners,
whom he recognised as suspicious characters, mixing
with the passengers on the platform. Having on a pre-
vious occasion put them off the platform he watched
them, and all of a sudden he missed them, and on look-
ing about he saw them got into a Charing-cross omnibus.
He then went to the conductor, and told him to keep his
eye upon the prisoners, as they were bad characters.
George Bowers said ho was conductor of a Great-
Western Railway omnibus, which runs from the rail-
way to Charing•cross. On Saturday evening, about
seven o'clock, the prisoners got into his omnibus, and
in consequence of what last witness had communicated
to him, he kept a sharp eye upon the prisoners and the
said he passengersirected

and a boy picked it up and handed it to
him. The prosecutrix then came up and identified the
to

purse as her property. The prisoners were then given
in charge.
Mary Ann Norris, a widow lady, said—About seven
o'clock on Saturday evening she arrived at the Padding-
ton station by tho third-class train and got into a
Charing cross omnibus. The prisoner Jones sat by her
side, and the prisoner Wilson sat opposite. On arriving
in Oxford-street she was spoken to by the conductor,
and immediately afterwards she missed her purse. The
one produced corresponded with the ono she lost, and
the contents are the same.
Former convictions having been proved against the
Prisoners, they were committed for trial.
