Allem:tan sitting at Guldmndl Was' engaged in the
after part of t•te mtiming in exAmining pickpockets
who had been app! ehemded in the etc) wd berore

Newgate.
Henry Williamq wa charged wi 11 stealina a
silver watch, value 101., frona the Person of Wm.
Porter, a clerk in the employ of Messrs. Constan-

tine and Co., of Leeds. - • - -
The prosecutor said he was staying at Itidlet'e
Hotel, in Holb 3rn, and as the c3ndenmecl man,
Lani, was to be hanged that (Monday) moining, he
went, at a little before eight o'clock to witness the
execution. There was a great:number of people
assembled in front of the Old Bailfy, and he went
into- the crowd with his coat all (-Ten and his watch
in his waistcoat pocket. Whi!e awaiting th 3 com-
mencement of the " exhibition," he saw the pri-
soner take his watch and break it away from the

guard at the swivel. He irnmaately collare I the
prisoner, who dropped the_wateh, Sand-the prosecu-
tor having recovered his watch, gave the prisoner
into custody.
The prisoner, who was known to the police, was
then remand-al till Thursday for further inquiry.
Daniel M'Carthy was charged with stealing a
silver watch, value 51., from Jiihn Parker, a billiard
marker, of 71, Dean-street, Soho.
The pros tutor in this case said, with some de-
gree of levity, that he went to see the execution of
Lani, and while standing in front of the 0 d Bailey
he felt the prisoner's hand in li;s pocket, and saw
him take his watch. Witness instantly seized the
prisoner round the waist, but in the meantime tie
prisoner contrived to pass the watch to a boy in
the crowd, who with equal celerity disappeared
with ir. _Witness distinctly saw his watch in the
prisoner's hand as he passed it to the boy.
Policeman 367 said the prisoner was convicted at
the Clerkenwell Sessions in March, 1851, of stealing
a Watch, and was sentenced to 12 month,' impri-
sonment. He had also been tried at the Old Biaiey
for a highway robbery, but was acquitted.
Alderman Challis said that neither 12 mouths'
imprisonment, nor the fact of a fellow-creature
being launched into eternity appeared to have had
any beneficial effect upon the prisoner, and rob-
beries under the gallows he, looked upon as such
very serious offences that he felt it his duty in this
case to commit the prisoner for trial.
William Meek was charged with stealing a gold
watch, value. 121.,
.and a gold., Albert guard and
appendages, value 151., from Mr: James Marc
D-brilovich, a captain in the Austrian service.
Captain Dobrilovich slid be went to the Old
B Ailey t sea Lani hanged, and while standing in
front f the sciffold he saw the prisoner standing
by his side, and soon after saw him withdrawing
his haul from under his (witness's) great coat,
which was buttoned up over his watch and guard.
Re seized the prisoner's hand with the guard in
it, and then di,coveied that the watch was gone
(the handle having been br ken completely off),
arid the guard unhooked from the waistcoat. Tne
piisover had obtained the watch. without detec-
tion ; but he was not satisfied with that, and with-
out waiting to dispose of it, he returned to secure
thi guard also. The prosecutor promised to for-
give the prisoner it he would return the watch, but
upon his doing so he gave him into custody.
Charles Locten,- a discharged soldier, wearing a
medal with several clasps, sand he saw the- prisoner
take the prosecutor's watch, aladafterword att mpt
to get the chain, in which he was defeated. When
accused of robbing the gentleman, the prisoner said
he had not got the watch, when almost at the same
moment witness saw him offer the watch to a woman
stindiug near, who refused to receive it. He then
thralst it into the hand of a boy, who also refused
it ;. upon which he replaced it in his owu pocket,
and afterwards returned it to the prosecutor.
George Leggett corroborated the whole of the
last witness's testimony.
George W. Gladdish said he also saw the prisoner
take the ptoucutot's watch, and immedia,ely after
noticed the chain hanging loose from the button of
the waistcoat. Having transferred the watch to
his own pocket the prisoner then made a grab at
the chain, and was caught in the act by the prose-
cutor, whoi charged him with stealing his watch.
The prisoner denied having it, and after offering it
to a young bishwaomdanfinbayinhzisnesiidtbeehrewoouffledretdakethiet

fprisoner cross-examined the witnesses with
much adroitness, and when told that he was only
making the case clearer against himself, said that
he believed three of the witnesses were " cohabit-
ing" together, and although their evidence " co-
operated" with each other, it was all made up be-
tween them.
The Chief Warder of i Holloway Prism said he
had known the prisoner at Brixton and Wands-
worth.
. The prisoner denied this, and became so abusive
and violent that it was necessary to remove him
until further inquiry could be made.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Tun EXTENSIVE
PLATE ROBBERY AT LORD FOLEY'S.—It will be ro-
c _Mooted that a man, named Samuel Benjamin, has
undergone two examinations at this court, ctiareed
with having in his possession a portion of silver
plate stolen from 26, Grosvenor-square, under very
mysterious circumstances while the family was out
of tawn. The amount of the plate stolen is in
value between 2,0001. and 3,0001., and the prisoner
stands under remand for Mr rnd,ay next,
Yesterday Henry Whetstone, a servant in the
service of Lot d Foley; Thomas Do Puzey, a well-
known convic•ee thief ; George Cherry, a ticket-
of-leave man ; and Margaret +ticket, a rather good-
looking young woman, cohabiting with De Puzey,
were brought before Mr. Beadon, charged with
being colice_rned iu the above robliery.
His Grace the Duke of Norfolk, together with
the Right Hon. Lord Foley and Colonel Foley,
occupied seats on I he bench.
Mr. Henry Baker, chief butler, on being sworn,
said—The prisoner Whetstone was what is called
steward's-room boy. He has been about ten
months in his lordship's service,- and ceasenl to be
a servant of the house on last Saturday afternoon.
He had always been in the hattit of sleeping in the
pantry, and the door of the plate-closet opens into
that loom. To the best of my belief I have seen
Cherry before, but cannot spear wi h certainty.
Henry Mill-r, a rai way clerk out of employ, re-
siding at 15, Queen's-row, Bayswater, en being
sworn, said—Between midnight and 1 o'clock on
the morningof the 10,hiest. I was prezteeding along
Grosvenor-square, and saw two men' against the
railings of 26, one of whom was the *prisoner De
Puzey. He had a large carpet-bag, which seemed
Pretty full and cumbersome. I remarked t ) them,
" You have been late at work." One of them re-
plied, " Yes, we have been setting a grate." Th
lag appeared to contain metal. I saw at the same
time a man in the area of the house. 1 cannot e•gy
if he had livery on. I fully believe Whetstone to
be that man.
Cross-examined by Whetstone—The man I saw
in the area wore a white handkerchief round his
neck.
James Suthers, a frotman to Lord Foley, de-
po,ed—l remember the 9 h inst. On that evening
1 went to the theatre, and did not return home till
about half-past one a.m. I left -the porter, the
prisoner Whetsone, and Col. Foley's servant, to-
gether in the house. The prisoner Whetstone was
the most youthful person in his lordship's service.
