RO➢EERY ON THE RIFER.—John Holmes and George
Hall, two of the most notorious thieves on the river, who
have committed numerous robberies, were brought before
Mr. Benson en remand, charged with stealing twelve cases
containing brandy from a barge called the Stoke in St.
Katherine's Dock, the property of Mr. Moore, a master
lightorman. They were also charged with the unlawful
possession of ten pieces of calico containing 2,000 yards,
and supposed to have been stolen from a barge or ship in
the river.

Briden, a detective police sergeant, said he could not
find an owner for the calico. It was manufactured for the
Chinese market at Manchester. Each piece was marked
with a bull, Chinese characters under it, a C above, and 66
beneath all. The prisoner Holmes had been in penal ser-
vitude and lately returned to the world. The other pri-
soner (Hall) had been convicted of felony repeatedly.
Samples of the brandy, in the exact state in which it was
expor:ed from Charente, wore produced. It was in re-
puted quart bottles and envelopes.
John Rose, 265 V, and Joseph Bunyan, 84 Y, gave evi-
dence of the attempt of the prisoners to land the brandy
and the linen from a barge called the John at Battersea,
near the bridge, on the 7th of last month. The police
succeeded in capturing two men named Weldon and
Smith; the prisoner and:another man got into a boat and
rowed over to Chelsea. 'They made their escape.
Mr. Dayman, the magistrate at the Wandsworth Police-
court, discharged Weldon and Smith.
George Read, a Thames Police Inspector, said he took
Hell into custody on the 6th instant in the Cannon-street-
road, St. George-in-the-East.
Briden said he arrested Holmes in Brook's-court, Brook-
street, Ratcliff, on the 2d of the present month.
Robert Weldon, a carrier, of No. 17, Catherine-street,
Poplar, said he was employed by the prisoners to fetch 12
cases of brandy and ten packages of linen from a barge at
Battersea on the 7th of August. He was to receive 15s.
for the job. While he was putting the cases into his
cart the land police interferzed, and took him and his
assistant Smith into custody. Ho did not see what be-
came of Holmes and Hall.

Mr. Benson expressed a hope that an owner would be
found for the linen. He had no doubt the ten pieces of
calico had been stolen from a barge on the river, and that
the loss would not bo discovered until the unloading of the
cargo of a ship in China, in which vessel the linen was to
be exported. He wanted to see Smith, the assistant to
Weldon, before he finally disposed of the case. Ho re-
manded the prisoner for another week. Ho intended to
commit them for trial.
