SKELETON-KEY ROBBERY ON SUNDAY NIGHT.—John
Dalton, a well-known associate of thieves, aged 21, was
brought before Mr. Yardley charged with being concerned
with three other men, named Franklin, Jones, and Lappage,
in entering the dwelling-house and shop of Mr. Thomas
Hall, oil and colotirman, No. 2, Old Manor-road, Stepney,
and stealing therefrom: tyro carpet-bags, wearing apparel,
and other property, value £5, therefrom.
The robbery was effected while the prosecutor and his
family were absent frsm home on Sunday last, and the street
door was opened by means of a skeleton-key. Two carpet
bags containing wearing apparel and other property were re-
moved from the bedroom. A portion of the stolen articles
were traced to Franklin, Jones, and Lappage, and a strong
prima facie case was made out against them, and they were
remanded until this day. The prisoner Dalton was arrested
yesterday, and he was identified as one of four men who
were seen near the house of the prosecutor on Sunday
evening ; and while three of them were inside the house
effecting the robbery, the prisoner was on the look out in
the street, and when the robbery was completed the pri-
soner opened the door, let out his confederates, and: went
away with them. Dalton has been repeatedly in custody,
and is believed to have been concerned in other skeleton-
key robberies, which have been very numerous in all parts
of the metropolis owing to the incautious manner in which
people secure their doors.
George Franklin, Charles Jones, and George Lappage
were subsequently arraigned in the felon's dock with Dal-
ton, and the evidence taken on Monday last was read over.
an
-di Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, said he appeared for Jones
d Lappage.

Mr. Hall said, although he valued the things at £5 only,
he could not replace them for £l5, and that £2 15s. in gold
and copper monies was taken from the shop.
Evidence was given of the finding of a great portion of
the stolen property in the house of the prisoner Franklin,
at No. 3, John's-place, Stepney.
Witnesses were called to prove the identity of Jones and
Lappage, but failed, and they were discharged.
Mr. Yardley ordered the depositions to be taken against
Dalton and Franklin, and they were committed for trial.
A PERFECT NUISANCE.—Mary Owens, a middle-aged
Irish woman, who has been for some time past very peace-
able, and who was formerly a very drunken and disorderly
character, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with
creating a disturbance, and using vile and threatening
language towardi Mrs. Charlotte Perkins, the landlady of
the Marquis of Wellington publiehouse in Cornwall-street,
St. George's-in-the-East. _
