MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

DARING GARROTTE ROBBERT.—John Garrett, 22, antl
James Murphy, 24, a ticket-of-leave man, were brought
before Mr. Beadon, charged with the following daring
robbery.

George Sapside.depoeed that he was a glass engraves•,
and resided at No. 44, Charles-street, Grosvenor-square..
Last night, about twelve o'clock, he was passing down
Bruton-street on his way home, when he bad occasion
to go into Barlow Mews fora certain purpose, and while
he was standing there the prisoner Garrett came
behind him, put his hands round his neck, pulled
him on his back and nearly strangled him. The
prisoner Murphy then came up and struck him
a dreadful blow between the eyes, and knelt down
upon his stomach. Prisoner, who was in great agony
at the time, could not call out—he could only
utter slight groans. The prisoner Murphy then seizad
hold of prosecUtor's gold watch-guard, and endeavoured
to pull the watch from his pocket. Witness resisted a
well as he could, and the guard broke from the watch.
At that moment a constable came up and the prisoners
ran off. They were pursued and taken into custody.
Wilson, 110 C, said about a quarter-past 12 last night
he was on duty in Conduit-street, when he heard groans
proceed from the direction of Bruton-street. He ran to
the spot, and in Barlow-mews he saw the prisoners with
the prosecutor down on his back. Murphy was on the
top of him, and as soon as they saw witness they ran off.
Witness pursued them, and, with assistance, took them
into custody.

Sergeant. Loom, B division, proved that Murphy was
a ticket•of-leave man, he having been transported five
years ago for a burglary in Pimlico. The other prisoner
bad also been convicted before.

The prisoners, who denied the charge, were fully corn-
misted for trial.

COFFEE AS A DEODORISER.—Now that the sporting
season has again come in, we beg to remind sportsmen
and others that fresh-ground coffee is a perfect and safe
deodoriser i • a sprinkling will keep game fresh and sweet
for several days. Clean your game—that is, wipe off the
blood—cover the wounded parts with absorbent pepper,
wrap up the heads, and then sprinkle ground coffee over
and amongst the feathers or fur, as the case may be; pack-
up carefully, and the game will be preserved fresh and
sweet in the most unfavourable weather. Game sent open
and loose cannot, of course, be treated of in this manner;
but all game packed in boxes or hampers may be deodo-
rised as described. A tea-spoonful of coffee is enough
for a brace of birds, and in this proportion fur more or
for larger game. Fresh ground coffee may be used with
advantage in a sick room ; a few spoonfuls spread
and exposed on a plate ; burned by a red-hot iron it is
a safe and pleasant fumigator.—The Builder.
LONDON ANTIQUITIES IN BRITISH MUSEUM—Those
who look in to teat`comparatively desert space in the
British Museum, called the British and Med mval depart-
ment, will find that cne of the empty cases has been
filled with a part ot the valuable collection of antiquities
which have been chiefly gathered from the Thames and
I London, after years of patient care, by Mr. C. Reach
Saab,. The matters at present exposed to public view
are but a tithe of the ancient remains of Old London,
which have, by the efforts d the press, and the exertions
of a number of individuals, become national property ;
it is, however, pleasant to look over them. Tee speci-
mens of glass of various colours are well worthy of no-
tice ; the deep rich tints, of blue and purple, are particu-
larly itch. The castings of heads, of fine design, in deli.
cately c Joured glass, have quite a gem-like appearance
some of those beautiful objects are from Clement's;
lane, and other parts of the City. There are some
fragments of old armour from East Smithfield • bronze
Celts, and other similar matters, found ofl the Temple in
1831; Roman and Saxon swords, found off the Temple ;
small altars ; combs, of different width of teeth ; Saxon
crosses, and other objects of the greatest use in illustrat-
ing the history and manners of ancient London. It would
be a great benefit if the thousands of objects of value and
interest contained in the British Museum were described
in a popular manner, and at some length ; the place
would then be like an instructive and useful book to all
who ohm to walk through Builder.
