The park-keeper said that when he went up to take the
prisoner into custody the prosecutor had the pin in his hand.
He had inquired at the address given by the accused and
found it correct, and his employer was now present.
Mr. Sandilands, 55 Regent-street, in whose employ the
accused is, said the accused had been in his employ about
10 months, was very honest, and well connected, and kept
very early hours, He had sent him to Chelsea Hospital
with a parcel and he was on his way home at the time.
Mr. Albert, the interpreter of the:court, said the prosecu-
tor had been convicted at the Mansion House, and sen-
tenced to three months' imprisonment for an indecent as-
sault.

Mr. Bingham (to the accusetl)—You are discharged.
The prosecutor said, a few minutes afterwards, that he
was prevented leaving the court.

Mr. Bingham (emphatically)—l am sure there is not a
person here who wishes your company.
The prosecutor then slunk out of court.

IMPUDENT ROBBERY IN A PUBLIC-HOUSE.--Margaret
M'Carthy, a powerful and profligate Irishwoman, with a
black eye and a damaged nose, the effects of a recent con-
flict in which she had been engaged, was brought before
Mr. Yardley charged with stealing 9s. and a bunch of keys
from the person of William Bowen, a blacksmith, of No.
60, Robin Hood-lane, Poplar.
The prosecutor, a man about 50 years of age, stated that,
he went into the Angel public-house, in Back-road, Shad-
well, on Tuesday night last, and called for a glass of rum.
The prisoner was there, and asked him to treat her with

liquor, and on his refusal to do so she raised him in
her arms, carried him from one end of the gin-shop
to the other end, then knocked him down and
rifled his pockets, from which she took nine shil-
lings in silver and a bunch of koys. Before he
oeuld recover himself the prisoner fled with his money.
He gave information to the police, and the prisoner was ap •
prehended yesterday.
Mr. Yardley—Did she knock you down with her fist ?
Witness —She did, sir. It was a severe blow. I went
down like a bullock. '

Mr. Yardley—What sort of a house is the Angel ?—I
need scarcely ask.

Police-Sergeant Cox, No. 45 K, said the Angel was a
better conducted house than it used to be, and Mr. George,
the present landlord, was doing all he could to prevent rob-
beries and disorderly conduct therein. If Mr. George had
been at home when the prisoner and prosecutor were there
the robbery would have been prevented.
George P. Stevens, barman at the Angel, said he saw the
prisoner carry Bowen from one end of the bar to the other
on Thursday night, but the man was not knocked down.
Mr. Yardley--I would rather believe the prosecuter than
I would believe you.
Stevens—He was not knocked down.
Mr. Yardley—You hear what I say, sir.
Cox said the prisoner was one of the most hardened
and desperate characters in the district.
Mr. Yardley—I know her too well.
Roche, the gaoler of the court, said there was a former
conviction against the prisoner, but it could not be proved.
The prisoner pleaded guilty.
Mr. Yardley—There is no doubt of your guilt at all. You
have committed a most impudent robbery, and are what
Cox describes you to be, a very hardened and desperate
character. You are sentenced to six months' imprison-
ment and hard labour. Next time you are brought here,
and a case is made out against you, I will commit you for
trial.
