Q UEEN-SQUARE.

Jamei Wemys, a middle-aged man, of very respectable
appearance, was yesterday brought before Mr. Hoskins,
charged with bigamy.
Elenora Atcherly, a very interesting looking woman,
stated that she was married to the prisoner at St. Bride's
Church, Fleet-street, on the 27th of November, 1832. He
married her in the name of John Wallace, and they had
lived together ever since, in Brook-street, Lambeth. She
had since ascertained that he had been previously married,
and that his wife was still living ; and in consequence of his
ill-usage towards her, she gave information of the fact to a
police constable.
Thomas Stroud, of the L division, No. 174, produced
the certificates of both marriages ; and it appeared that he
was married to a woman of the name of Mary Williams, on
the 2d of January, 1826, at Newington. On taking the
prisoner into custody he did not deny having two wives ;
but looking sternly at Atcherly, asked her whether she
meant it, and she replied that she did, for his ill treatment
to her.

The prisoner remained perfectly silent, and Mr. Hos-
Kim ordered him to be remanded, so that the first wife
might have an opportunity of appearing against him.
William Barker and Charles Chappell, two young men,
the former describing himself as a fishmonger, the latter a
butcher, were brought up in custody, charged with a rob-
bery under very audacious circumstances. Mr. Humphries
attended professionally to defend the prisoners.
Mr. Alexander Shaw, broker and appraiser, of No. 1,
Little Tothill-street, about twelve o'clock on Monday night
last, went into the Cooper's Arms, Strutton-ground, for re-
freshment ; the two prisoners and several other persons
were opposite the bar. Witness knew Chappell previously,
and offered to toss him for some spirits, but the landlord
objecting to this, he called for some drink, and changed half
a sovereign. The prisoner Chappell drank with him. Sub-
sequently an altercation took place between witness and the
two prisoners, and Chappell seized him round the neck, and
struck him several times. The other prisoner Barker also
assaulted him. During this attack the prisoners rifled his
pockets of all they contained, amounting to two sovereigns
and three half sovereigns. On discovery of his loss he ac-
cused the prisoners of the robbery, when Barter absconded
from the house, after which the prisoner Chappell consented
to be searched, but no officer was present. Witness gave
information of the robbery to the police, and the prisoners
were apprehended on Saturday, over the water.
Mr. HOSKINS, the presiding magistrate, questioned the
prosecutor as to whether he was sober at the time he went
to the Coopers' Arms, and if he was sure the money was in
his possession at the time he first entered the company of
the prisoners.
Shaw had been drinking, but not to an extent so as to
prevent him from knowing what he was doing. He could
speak positively as to having in his possession two sove-
reigns and three half sovereigns when he entered the house.
One of the half sovereigns he received change for from
Mrs. Evans, the landlady of the-house.
Mr. Humphries—What is the reason, Mr. Shaw, that at
the time you found you had lost your money, and accused
the prisoners of the robbery, you did not immediately give
them in charge ? Prosecutor--We were all put out of the
house, and when I reached the street I did mention under
what circumstances I had lost my money, to a policeman ;
but he refused to take the charge, and said he would not
allow me to make a disturbance in the street. I after-
wards gave information of the robbery at the police station.
Mr. Evans, the landlord of the Coopers' Arms, spoke to
the quarrel and scuffle that took place between the prose-
cutor and the prisoner, and the former accusing the two
men of robbing him of 3/. 10s.
A man named Sutton, residing in Tuften-street, West-
minster, on Monday last, was put 'in possession of Chap-
pell's house, they having been distrained for rent. In the
evening the prisoner Barker came in, and soon afterwards
Chappell, the former offered to discharge the execution,
and witness saw him (Barker) produce some gold and sil-
ver. An altercation took place the same evening between
the prisoners respecting the division of some money.
Dawson and Hall, officers of this establishment, appre-
hended the prisoners on Saturday at the Gibraltar, in Pro-
spect-place, St. George's-fields. Barker endeavoured to
escape by running away.
The Magistrate expressed his belief that the prisoners
were guilty of the robbery, observing at the same time
the evidence was not very strong ; but if the prosecutor
wished to proceed, he (the Magistrate) would commit them
for trial.

Mr. Shaw expressing his desire to prosecute the pri-
soners, they were accordingly fully committed to Newgate.

WORSHIP-STREET.
Last night, at nine o'clock, George Smith and Anne Smith,
his wife, were brought up for re-examination before
Mr. BROUGHTON, for the purpose of taking the evidence
of Mr. W. R. Rolls, landlord of the Goat public-house in
Golden-lane, by whom it was stated by Mrs. Roberts the
101. note presented by George Smith was changed.
Eagles, in whose custody the prisoners were plated by

the prosecutor, stated that he had been to Mr. Rolls, who
excused his attendance on account .of his business.
Mrs. Roberts, in addition to her former evidence, said
that that morning she wanted to borrow a box ; when
Anne Smith offered her a small tin box, on opening which
witness discovered what she thought a 201. note, which was
immediately snatched out of her hand by the prisoner.
On Anne Smith being again asked what she had to saY,
she stated again that she was innocent, and that it was a
conspiracy on the part of Mully and Giblin against her.
Mr. BROUGHTON said, that he should require the disin-
terment of the deceased, Mr. Henry Roberts. He then
gave directions to Eagles to communicate the circui':
stances to Mr. Stirling, the Coroner ; and to Mr. Hab'
the Vestry Clerk of St. Luke's, to tell them that 1!°
medical man or nurse attended the deceased ; and that,
in
his opinion, it would not be satisfactory unless an invest
gation of that sort should take place. It has been PNvet,
in evidence that his keys were taken from him the
before he died, and that before the prisoners had their
breakfast the boxes were broken open. A di-
The prisoners were then remanded till Saturday, an-
rections given to summon Rolls, the landlord of the Goat
and the Clerk of the Bank of England, who received
~,th°
one hundred pound note. Mully was again bailed by Dlr.
Roberts. The prisoners were removed at ten o'clock.
