Rant habit of providmg themselves with these portraits
of theif ace,ooplices to present mistake, so that when a
robbery had been effected they might unfailingly transfer
the stolen property to the confederate " working" with
them, however disguised be or she might be.
Miss Din. Dempsey, a lady residi,,g at Brentwood,
and the proeccutrix in the case, deposed to being a first-
class passenger by the train in question, but declared the
robbery had been so cleverly effected that she had not
the slightest idea her purse ha'i been stolen until she was
accosted by the officer and asked o examine her packets.
Carter, in answer to a qu,oion of the magi,trate as to
whether any of the prig ,ere rec,goised, said' that
he had known the prishmer Thcmpson for the last two
years ; sh, was the c an.: associate of well-dreoed

SOUTHWARK.—A powerful-looking young &BO
named Thomas Connor was clmrged with the following
robbery of watches and chains :
Mr. Nicholas Straub sod be was a watchmaker, ang,
carried on business with his brother. Between ainesa4
ten o'clock on the previous night he was sitting in his
parlour at the rear of the shop, when h• was alarmed by
hearing a loud crash of broken glass in the shop.
immediately rushed in there, and saw the priFenerf
hands inside the window which was broken, grasping at
all the gold chains and gold watches within his reaol
He had at least 20 gold watches, worth 1501., and 20
gold chains, worth 1001., which he pulled out from 01
window. Witness instantly ran out of the shop, and
caught bold of the prisoner as he was running away With;
the property. He dropped some of the watches an"
chains on the pavement, and others be threw into the
road. A tradesman came up to his assistance, aad
they secured the prisoner until a constable came UPS
when he gave him into custody. All the property was
picked up and restored to him, except four gold watabeot
worth 10/ , which had not been found. The damage
done to the watches picked up was considerable.
The prisoner said that he belonged to Hull, and, being
out of work since Christmas, he came up to London to
seak something to do. He was disappointed, and Tell'
tiered desperate from starvation. He did break the
window and steal the property, and he would do so Will
if he was starving.

Mr. .A'Beckettold him, from the daring manner rD
which he had committed the robbery, he suspected OA
this was not his first offence. He should therefore cool'
mit him for trial at the next assizes ; and he hoped the
police would in the meantime make particular inquiriel
about him.
