hand belonging to defendant, although, .7 n making in-
quiry the day before, it was stated that . a larger sum

HOPOROPT V. WEBER.

Mr. Locke applied for an adjournment of this case,
which was reported a short tims since in Me Sun, and
has excited much interest in consequence of its being
one of a number of actions brought by the same plaintiff
to recover for advertisements inw:rted i s the " Com.
mercial Daily List," of which the defend: int is the pro-
prietor. The plaintiff was nonsuited in th‘ 3 first irstance
after a lengthened trial, but afterwards applied for a
new trial, which was granted at a SpeciAl Court, at
which the Recorder was assisted by the Clot:mon Ser-
geant (R. Gurney, Esq.).

Mr. Locke stated that the ground for the application
wag the absence of a material witness (Dr. Miller) who
acted as agent in obtaining orders for the advertise-
mentß.

The case was acoordiegly aijourued u atil the next
Court day.

charged with assaulting Elizabeth Steward, a drese.
maker, residing at No. 30, Carburton-streel
The prosecutrix, a good looking young wi man, stated
that about one o'clock this morning she wrss proceeding
up Regent-street with her sister, when they met the
prisoner and two other men, all of whom a ppeared to be
the worse for liquor, who ran up against tb em and tried
to knock them off the pavement. They took no notice
of this unmanly treatment, and walked on. The prisoner
then came up to complainant and made :In infamous
proposal to her, which she indignantly rejected. He
then assailed her with the foulest abuse, struck her with
great force several blows in the face with his fists, and
then pulled her cloak from off her shoulders and tore it

to pieces. She screamed out as loud as fil'ae could for
the police, and an officer shortly after vane up, into
whose custody she gave the prisoner.
Complainant's sister corroborated her 'evidence in
every particular.

The defendant denied the charge, and called a witness
o prove that what the complainant had stated was per-
fectly false.

This witness, however, admitted that they pushed the
prosecutor about, and said he and the prisoner were both
the worse for liquor at the time.
Mr. Bingham said there was no reliance to be placed
on the evidence of a drunken witness. He considered
the charge fully proved, and fined the prisoner 405., and
recommended him to be more valiant in future, and stick
to his shears.

THAMES.
DINING HIGHWAY ROBBERY BY THREE WOMEN.,

Elizabeth. Smith, Mary Ann West, and Mary Williams,
women of the town, were brought before Mr. Selfe, on
remand, charged with assaulting Mr. James Archer, a
tailor, putting him in fear, and stealing from his person
a silver watch value 61.

The prosecutor, an elderly man, residing at No. 32,
Charlotte-street, Whitecbapel, said on Wednesday
night last, between 9 and 10 o'clock, he was on his way
home in Whitechapel, when three women sprung upon
him in an instant, and one struck him while the others

hustled him, and his watch disappeared in a moment.
He could swear to two of the prisoners, Smith, and
West. The former took his watch. He was not quite
certain of the identity of Williams. She was not dressed
like the third woman. He believed she was one of the
women who attacked him, and that she had changed her
dress.

Frederick Law, a police constable No. 170 11, stated
' that he took West and Smith into custody at 10 o'clock
on Wednesday night, and the former prisoner said they
were not in Whitechapel at all that night. Smith said,
" I say the same. I know who it is ; but lam not
going to turn round." West then said to the other,
" Hold your tongue, or you will spoil the b-g job."
Benjamin Paole, assistant to Mr. Somerville Telfer,
178, St. George-street, alias Ratliff-highway, stated
that the prisoner Williams came in to his master's shop
on Friday (yesterday) and offered a watch in pawn for
50s. He offered her 2/. upon it, and she said that would
do. He looked at a description of stolen property fur-
nished by the police, and found the watch thus described
as having been stolen, and then detained the prisoner.
Coleman, 70 11, said Williams gave a false address,
and declared that a man she lived with gave her the
watch.

Mr. Archer identified the watch produced, and the
prisoners were committed for trial.
A VERT DEAR NAP.- Sarah. Burt, a woman of the
town, aged 22, of No. 8, Albert•square, Albert-street,
Shadwell, was brought before Mr. Stile, charged with
stealing 2/. 10s. from Robert Bennett, a seaman.

It appeared from the evidence that the sailor was pass.
ing along a notorious place called Albert-square, when
he was invited by the prisoner, a well-known thief, to
step in and rest himself. He did so, and in return for
the politeness extended towards him sent for s )me grog,
and feeling sleepy asked if he might be allowed to take
a nap. Consent was given and he stretched himself on
a bed, and soon fell asleep. When he awoke he missed
all his money, 51. 10s. in gold, and demanded its restora-
tion. One of the women in the house returned him three
sovereigns, and said that was all the money ■he had, and
ran away. The prisoner was about to follow her when
the sailor detained ker and gave her into custody.
In answer to a question from the magistrate, the sailor
said he was sure he had five Sovereigns and a half sove-
reign when he Entered the house in Albert-Pquare. He
did not see the prisoner in the room where he was Bleep-
ing.

Mr. Selfs said the sailor had enjoyed a very expensive
nap, and was a ♦ery lucky fellow, for the loose women
in the district were all thieves, who never missed rob-
bing sailors when they had an opportunity. He was
only surprised the sailor was not plundered of every
farthing he had about him, and his clothes takea away,
in the den into which he was inveigled. There was no
evidence to justify him in detaining the prisoner, and she
must be discharged.
