HATTON.GARDEN.

Yesterday Henry Quick was brought up for re-
examination, charged with having maliciously stabbed
Mr. Weston, foreman to Day and Martin, blacking-
manufacturers, of Holborn, with intent to murder
him.

Mr. Jones, a medical gentleman, attended, and
'stated that Mr. Weston was not in immediate
danger, but the wound was in such a state of irri-
tability that it would be highly dangerous for him to
attend at the Office to give evidence.
The prisoner was again remanded.
QUEEN-SQUARE.

Yesterday, a fiery-looking Dutch tailor, named
Konigh, whose face was nearly enveloped in a most
formidable pair of whiskers, appeared before Mr.
BURRELL, to prefer a charge of robber.), against
Miss charlotte Whyming, of No. 4, Henry-street,
Waterloo-road, a lady with a fine ruddy gin-faced-
looking countenance.
The Dutch tailor could hardly give himself time
to tell his story, his ire was so great ; he blustered
away in broken English, a very long round-about
sort of a tale, which he did not appear exactly to
understand himself. From what we could gather
from his story, it appeared that he had met the lady
at the bar on the previous evening, and had accom-
panied her to her lodgings, when she accommodated
him with a bed for the night ; in the morning he
ordered some breakfast of coffee, eggs, &c., which
was so dreadfully bad, that the breakfast prepared
nearly turned his stomach ; that was not all, for
when he looked for his coat, which was made by
himself, after the most fashionable cut, he found
that she had gone and pledged it for 55., the dupli-
cate of which she tendered him.

Mr. Field, the inspector, said that he was sent
for, understanding that a person had been robbed in
the house. He found the prosecutor, half un-
dressed, walking and stamping about the room,
swearing that the girl had stolen his coat, and he
took her into custody.

The Dutch tailor said that it was one of the best
fits he had ever made in his life, and he would not
have lost it for pounds.
Charlotte was now called upon for her defence,
and gave a very different version of the story. The
complainant certainly accompanied her home, and
in the morning he ordered breakfast ; he talked a
good deal about his friends and connections, and
spoke of the hundreds and thousands of pounds that
he was possessed of and heir to. She reminded him
that she would want a little money to procure the
breakfast, when she found that with all his great
talk he had not a farthing in his pocket, and he de-
sired her to take his coat and pledge it, and with
great difficulty she procured the loan of ss. upon it,
at a pawnbroker's where she was well known.
After a lengthy investigation, the prisoner was
discharged, her statement having some appearance
of truth.

The Dutch tailor was now in a very awkward
dilemma ; for the police constable had lent him an
old rusty green coat, with what was once a black,
but now a brown velvet, collar, which had formerly
belonged to his grandfather, of a cut peculiar to the
fashion of the day, which had descended as an heir-
loom in the family. This ancient relic the police-
man demanded ; but he cursed and swore outside
the office, and, although he declared he was ashamed
to be seen with such a garment on his back, he still
appeared very unwilling to part with it, for want of
a better. After a lengthened discussion on this
point, the Dutch tailor and the policeman went
away—the latter keeping close to the tailor, and
having a watchful eye upon his grandfather's coat.
