POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

OW-STREET.
Yesterday 41rolen Newman, William Hatch, and Richard
Coxon, the la tter the proprietor of a beer-shop at Harrow,
in Middlesex, underwent a very long examination on the
(tharge of robbery and violenm.

James Littlewood stated that be keeps a beer-shop at
Feltham, near Hounslow, and, on the 16th instant, having
occasion to go to Kingston to pay his brewer, he asked the
prisoner Newman to led him his horse; and drive him in his
(witness's) cart to that place, his own horse being lame.
They started at nine o'clock, witness having a bag in
his pocket containing two .5/. notes, -and 15/. in sove-
reigns and silver. They stopped at three different beer-
shops, and drank half-and-half, and then went to that
kept by the prisoner Coxon, who owed witness a sove-
reign. There witness treated a number of men with
beer and ale, and remained until three o'clock, and.
drank too much, but he knew what be was about.
During that time he took out his hag, and the company
saw what money ho had. A " lark" was started, and he
got thrown from his seat several times, and hustled, and he
felt sundry attempts by those about him to dive into his
pockets. With a view to get away from them he went
into the garden, whither he was followed by Hatch and
Newman, the former of whom hustled him, and threw him
down, falling himself at the same time. Hatch jumped up,
and he and Newman assisted to rain witness up, and while
doing so he distinctly felt Hatch's hand in his left-hand
breeches pocket, in which his bag of money was safe a few
moments before, Hatch left him as soon as he was upon
his feet, and Newman said to witness " Is your money all
right, old fellow ?" Upon which he felt his pocket, and
found that his money was gone. He taxed Newman and
Hatch with the robbery, and they denied it, but were
taken into custody and conveyed before a Magistrate in
the neighhonrhoo(l, who, hnwevor, thought there was not
sufficient evidence, and discharged them. The constable
who took them into custody searched them, but the money
—as not found. Witness said he 1.11 no doubt that Hatch

Colmeanwhile.t 'rho prtsoners were subsequently apprehended
by Hall, the chief contfi.ble of Hounslow, and brought
to this office, some fresh evidence having been obtained,
Mr. MINSHULI. ordered 010 rid*Ctrifira to lie folly com-
mitted to Newgate for trial, but said he would take good
bail for Coxon (for whom, and Newman, Mr. Wontner at-
tended.as solicitor). The witnesses were hound over to
prosecute.
A second charge was then made against Coxon and
Hatch.
Mr. James Barge, a tailor, at Turnbam-green, had a
mare that was somewhat too spirited for him, and be took
it to Hounslow fair to sail or exchange. Coxon and Hatch
were there with a horse of inferior value, and an agreement
was made that a " swap" should take place, Mr. Barge to
receive 51. to boot. Hatch was left to change the saddles
and bridles, while Mr. Barge and Coxon went to the Red
Lion to settle accounts. After drinking something, Coxon
threw down 30s. and was going away, but Barge demanded
31. 10s. more, as per agreement. Coxon, however, said he
should give no more, and went out. Mr. Barge attempted
to follow, but a gate was closed upon him. He made his
way out after some delay, and found Hatch just about to
ride off with his mare. He seized the mare by the head to
stop her, when. Coxon and Hatch both began to beat him
most unmercifully with whips and fists, and Coxon knocked
him down and Hatch rode away with the mare. MT.
Barge had since found that Coxon had sold the mare.
Barge of course took the horse, but found it spavined.
Mr. MiNsitum, could not treat it as a case of horse-
stealing, but a most violent assault bad been committed, and
be should require bail to a heavy amount, of which notice
must be given, and bind Mr. Barge over to prosecute.
