Long Tom in the bar parlour, but did not see them at'
tempt to rob the complaivant, hut he admitted :bat he
went away before the complainant lett the house.
Mr. A'BECKETT said toe complainant had positively
sworn he had the money and articles of jewellery in his
possession when he entered the house, where ho alleges
he was robbed. That it was true that he might hare
been somewhat the worse for liquor, but he swears that
he missed his property soon after he left the house, and
that when pushed down as he described by the prisoner
and the other man, designated Long Tom, he felt a hand
in the pocket which contained tho bag of money. There
was, however, no direct evidence Low the money was
lost, but it was the reverse with reference to the diamond
pin, for he states that the article was taken from him by
oue of his assailants before he was pushed down, as be
describes, and plundered of his other property. Under all
the circumstances he should remand the prisoner, with
view to give an opportunity of tracing, if possible, by
whom the 501. note was paid into the Bank, and obtain—
ing other evidence against the accused.
The prisoner was then remanded until next Thursday,
the Magistrate, on the application of his solicitor, having
consented to take bail for his appearance, himself
2001., and two securities of 1001. each, and to give 24
hours' notice of bail.

MORE SKITTLE SHARPERS.— Wm. Johnson, 8 TeSpeet.'
able-looking ycurig man, 21 'cars of age, described as an
auctioneer, residing at 15, St. Jude's-street, Old Beth
nal-green-road, was chafged with stealing a sovereign
from the person of John Mackie, a simple-looking:
Scotch seaman, lodging at the Sailors' Borne, Well—
street, who gave a very contused account of the transac
tior.

It appeared that after dinner on Wednesday
went
to see the Great Exhibition, and on his way home, at
about four or five o'clock, he stopped in Rosemary-1e",
to " price" a chest, when a man came up to him sea'
claimed acquaintance with him. Mackie told him be did.
not think he had ever seen him in London before, as he'
was not long from Scotland. " Oh," said the stranger,
"I'm a Scotchman too, and belong to Edinburgh;
let
come and have a drop of beer." " So," said Mackie,.
"we went into the King of Prussia, Cartwright-street,
Rosemary-lane, and had a drop of beer. A third party
came in, and helped us to drink the beer. The prisoner'
then came in and we got into the skittle-ground. Two.
of the men began to play, and the prisoner betted. 0"
of them said to me, Come, haul out some of your
so 's:
money,' at the same time putting his hand in my right"
hand pocket and taking out halt a sovereign and two
half-crowns, which he passed to the other man, who.
handed it to the prisoner. I never seed such play be-
fore—(Loud laughter)—and whilst I was bothering them
fur my money, the prisoner took a sovereign from my'
other pocket, at the same rime saying, The more YOU
wager the more you'll win.'—(Renewed laughter) The
other men ran away, and the prisoner said to me, 'Run.
after them, for God, your rife, and your money---
(Roars of laughter)—but I proposed that I should keep.
to him and my sovereign. I had a hard job to keep'
him, but I did until a constable came."
Mr. Pelham, far the defence, cross-examined come
plainant at great length- to show that the prisoner vita
a mere spectator, 11ut he adhered to his original state-
merit.
Mr. Pelham—What sort of a sovereign was it? gad
it a dragon, or what? Mackie--I dinna ken; I bade t•
the wit to look—(Laughter)—and I hadn't much time to
do so either.
Robbins, 159 H, who took the prisoner into custodY*
found in his possssiela a -sovereign, half a sovereign, and
six single shillings.
In answer to Mr. Pslhsm, the complainant said he'
believed in the Gospel, knew what the Bible was, diet
nature of an oath, and all that ho said was true.
Mr. Pelham—My client's statement is this—he unfor
tunately went into the skittle-ground to see the Pig,'
and when the man was robbed he did all he could to as
slat him. The complainant's statement was perfectly
uncorroborated, and the silver found on the prisoner
consisted of shillings.
Mr. IN,Gnam—A jury shall decide it.
Prisoner—l am in an excellent situation.
Mr. Pelham said, the prisoner, who was in the ere"
ploy of his father, was a highly respectable young man''
and hoped his Worship would take bail for his appearance;':
Mr. Bartrum, as 'Repectable livery-stable keeper 0I
Raven-row, Mile-end, and several other respectable per
sons, came forward and gave the prisoner an excellent,
obaracter.
Mr. INGUAM ultimately agreed to take two responsible•
persons in 504 each, and the prisoner himself in 1004
