stealing a silver watch, value £4, from the person of John
Anderson, a seaman, lodging at 41, Ratelff:highway.
The complainant said that last night, soon after seven
o'clock, he was standing on the footpath in front of his
lodging-house when the prisoner came up and stood along-
side of him, and in a minute he snatched his watch from
his left-hand waistcoat pocket, detached it from the chain
and handed it to another man, who ran away with it. He
seized the prisoner, and after a severe struggle with him
dragged him into his lodging-house, and detained him
there until a police-constable arrived.
Wiliam Roebuck, a police-constable, 446 K, stated that
he found the prisoner in the house, 41, Ratcliff-highway,
and at once recognised him as an' active and daring thief,
who had been twice convicted in the police court of petty
offences. On the first occasion the prisoner was sentenced
to 14 days' imprisonment, and, upon the second occasion,
to one month's imprisonment. A great many sailors had
been robbed in Ratcliff-highway.
Mr. Yardley—l know it. Does the prisoner plead now
or does he wish to be sent for trial ?'
The prisoner—l will plead now.
Mr. Yardley—What do you plead ?—guilty, or not
guilty.
The prisoner—l am guilty, sir.

Mr. Yardley—There is no doubt of your guilt. You
have committed a most impudent robbery. I convict you
of larceny, and sentence you to be imprisoned and kept to
hard labour for six calendar months.
