THAMES.
DARING HIGHWAY ROBIIERY.—John Turner, a rough'
lookiGg youth, aged 17 years, was brought before Ur'
Paget charged with a daring highway robbery in a publ'3
road.

Yesterday afternoon at half-past five o'clock, Mrs. Dila
Johnson, a lady residing at No. 5, College-t •rraeo, TN'
deltas-squitte, Stepney, was passing along the north sidt
of the Mile-end- road, close to the New Globe Tavriu
with two small parcels, and a purse containing XI 103. 1-;"ci
in her left hand, when he came to the left side of her and
demanded her purse. She requested him to leave ]ter,
on which he mad a snatch at her purse. Mrs. Johnson:
though a slight woman, struggled with the prisoner and
called for help. The prisoner struck her, made a bolu
snatch, and ran away with' the purse and money, Tba
lady screamed, and called out "Stop thief." A gentleman
on horseback rode after the prisoner, who fled down the
"Longfellow-road," on the south side of the Mile-oud-
road. There was no thoroughfare at the end of the Long'
fellow-road, so the prisoner was compelled to retrace biS
steps, and ho was rode down and captured. Mrs. Johnson
did not see her purse and money again.
Eliza Jarratt, a widow, saw the prisoner struggling ifit4
Mrs. Johnson, who had great difficulty in keeping 1,3 f
feet.

\Villain Smith, polico constable, No. 333 K, said the pri"
toner gave his address No. 41, Devonshire-street, Stopuey
He was unknown there.

The prisoner, in spite of the clear evidence against him'
made loud protestations of innocence, and said no purse or
money was found upon him, and he was quietly walking"
along the road when a gentleman, not a police officer'
caught hold of him.

Mr. Paget said any person could apprehend a thief, and
it was the duty of every man and woman to use ever,'
exertion to run down and arrest criminals. Before he
committed the prisoner for trial it would be as well t°
have the evidence of the gentleman, an officer of volun'
teers, who rode after the prisoner, and to make some itV
quirks about the prisoner himself. He remanded the Pri"
goner for a week.

WESTMINSTER.
A DANGEROUS PRACTICE.—henry Coulson, 15, was
charged with throwing stones at a train on the Metropo-
litan District Railway.
Thomas Price, pointsman at the St. James's-park sta."
tion, said at half-past seven last night he saw the prisoner
and other boys on the girders close to Lady Deere's Alms-
houses, where there was an open space ; they were
throwing stones at the train; and dropping them on the
drivers and stokers.'

Brooks, 129 B, proved taking prisoner with a stone is
his hand; this nuisance had boon repeatedly complained
of, and was intolerable.
In reply to ]gr. Selfe, the Superintendent of the Metro-
politan Railway Police said they had no byelaw to meet the
case as they were an underground railway.
Inspector Holmes, of the B division, said at this very
spot they had to stop a train the other day and clear the
line of bricks and stones that had been dropped on to the
instals.

Pace, the pointsman, said several of the drivers and
stokers had been struck, but in this case he could 11(-4
bring it home to the prisoner.
Mr. Self said be could not do anything with the Pri-
soner, save commit him for trial for a misdemeanour with-
out much chance of a conviction; he therefore severely
reprimanded the prisoner and delivered Lim over to hi°
father for correction, at the same time recommending the
company to make some provision in their bye-laws to moot
such cases.

stooping p)sitioa with both his han.ls in the pan of the
closet, and he took hold of the prisoner and told hint ill
