BO W-STREET.

Elizabeth il'Evoy and Elizabeth Stainer, both
under thirteen years of age, were brought before Mr.
Jardine, charged with robbery.
The Rk v. Mr. Brasnell, of Peter-street, Hackney-
road, attended to watch the proceedings, and Mr.
Shattock, solicitor, 44, Lincoln's Inn•fields, appeared
for the prisoners.
Charles Clay Carter, a miller, of Maldon, in Essex,
after stating that he was unable to attend the two for-
mer examinations, said—On Thursday, the 4th inst.,
about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when coming from
Lisson-grove, he met the prisoners in the New-road.
They asked him to buy lucifer-matches, and after-
wards io give them something to drink. He took
them to a private house, as he thought, but it ap-
peared to be a strange place, and where he had been
before a long time back. He bad with him at the
time a leather purse, containing about 151., principally
in gold. He thought he drank something, but was
not certain. The children drank gin. They remained
in the house about five minutes, after which he left,
followed by them. Before they were out of sight he
discovered that his money was gone.
Mr. JARDINE—Did you see any other person ex-
cept the prisoner ? Witness—No person except the
old woman who brought the gin.
In reply to the solicitor, he could positively swear
that there were no screams on the part of the prisoners,
which caused the old woman to come into the room
and desire that he would instantly leave the house,
and that he had no improper intercourse with either
of them, nor did he recollect, but believed he did not
expose his person to them, although he might have
been partly on the bed with them, but he did not
recollect that was the case. The purse might have
been dropped by him in the house. He was certain
they had not been half an hour in the house, and that
he did not promise them food and clothing if they
would comply with his wishes. He was ashamed of
his conduct, and that was the reason he had not at-
tended to give evidence on the former occasions. He
did not accuse the children of robbing him, being
ready to admit his folly, and believing they would not
have meddled with him had he not acted with great
indiscretion.

William Goody, a carpenter, residing at 61, Mar-
sham-streat, Westminster, said that when passing
Whitehall, about half-past six o'clock in the evening,
he saw the prisoners buy some trotters. They after-
wards commenced talking in a very disgusting man-
ner about the amount of money each bad ; when,
seeing him approach, one said, " The b- will hear
us." He kept them in sight until he met a constable.
and advised that they should be taken into custody.
Constable Glover, 158 A, who apprehended the
prisoners, said they had a quantity of wearing apparel
that had been recently purchased, and when at the
station he found 31. on one, and 9/. with some silver
money on the other, which they said they picked up
in the street.

Witness Goody being recalled, said he knew the
prosecutor, baying formerly worked under him in the
service of Mr. Pigott; but since that time he had nor
seen him until he appeared in the court. lie had
not been promised anything to give evidence in his
favour.

Mr. JARDINE ordered the prisoners to be com•
mitted to the Westminster Sessions, and refused to
accept bail for their appearance at the trial.
