Nine painters, who were employed on the Contrae
work, in this yard, were discharged on Saturday last.—
Devonport independent,

Yesterday was the day appointed for the re-examination
of Charles Blake Skerrett, the young man charged with an
extensive robbery at the Bath Hotel, Piccadily, as described
in our paper of Saturday last ; and in consequence of the
numerous other depredations of a similar kind which the
prisoner was suspected of having committed, the office, by
twelve o'clock was completely filled by hotel and lodging-
house keepers, whose houses had been plundered.
Before the examination was gone into, Tyrrell, the gaoler
who conveys prisoners to and from Tothill-fields New Prison,
reported to Mr. Halls, the sitting magistrate, at the desire
of Lieutenant Tracy, the Governor, that the prisoner, dur-
ing the night of Sunday, had made a most determined attempt
upon his own life. The prisoner, from the time of his ar-
rival at Tothill-fields on Friday, showed great agitatiton and
anxiety of mind, and was at intervals observed to relapse
into a state of utter despondency. The usual precaution of
searching was resorted to when he was taken to prison, and
no dangerous weapon was found upon him. On Sunday
evening, long after the different cells had been locked, Mr.
Tracey had so strong a misgiving about the prisoner that
he went to his cell with one of the turnkeys, and found him
walking up and down in a most deplorable state of mind.
Recollecting that, as a matter of indulgence, he had allowed
him to mix with the debtors during the day, from whom he
might have borrowed some weapon, he searched him, and
found a clasp-knife in his pocket, hich he took from him,
and left him, quite satisfied that he had no other means of
doing himself an injury. In the course of the night, how-
ever, Mr. Tracey was still uneasy, and went again to the
cell, where lie found the prisoner stretched on his backupou
the ficor, with his cravat drawn round his throac, so tightly
as to have produced all but entire suffocation. His face was
discoloured, he was greatly convulsed, beating the backs of
his hands upon the floor, and evidently in a very few mo-
ments would have been a corpse. The cravat was imme-
diately removed, and medical assistance procured, and he
was restored. He was then left in the care of two debtors,
who were ordered to sit up with him.
When the prisoner was brought into the public Office
yesterday, and placed in the dock, he was in a state of most
pitiable agitation, and appeared so feeble as to be scarcely
able to stand. He endeavoured as much as possible to
avoid the public gaze, which seemed greatly to annoy him.
The evidence was then proceeded with.
Charles Pratt, Esq., of Southampton, deposed that, on
the 19th of October, he occupied an apartment at the
Bath Hotel, Piccadilly, and on the afternoon of that day
he went out, leaving a tin case, containing a gold watch,
chains, seals, brooches, rings, and other jewellery (already
described), amounting in value to about 2001., safe in his
room. He did not lock the door when he went out, but
the tin case was padlocked. On the following morning,
when he got up, he found that the case and its con-
tents had been stolen. The case and jewellery now pro-
duced were the same so stolen, only that a great many ar-
ticles were deficient. The two bunches of keys produced
by Ballard were part of the articles stolen.
James Whitaway, head waiter at the Bath Hotel, stated

that on on the 19th of October, he was standing in the
passage when the prisoner passed him in a hasty manner,
with his head turned aside. He went into the coffee-room,
and witness following him was asked if he could have a
bed ? He was told he could, and was shown to a room
No. 9, opposite to Mr. Pratt's room, where a great coat
with a carpet bag and a leathern case, with a lock to it,
were deposited. He remained about three quarters of an
hour, and then came down stairs, and ordered dinner to be
got ready immediately. As soon as he had dined he went
up stairs again, where he remained about a quarter of an
hoar, and ordered his bill in a great hurry. Witness said,
" I thought, Sir, you were going to sleep here," and the
prisoner replied, " Yes, I did intend to do so, but I have
just recollected some important business, and I must be off
to Birmingham to-night. His coat and other things were
brought to him, and, having paid his bill, he went hastily
out at a side door leading to Arlington-street.
Ballard, the officer, stated that, on Friday last, in con-
sequence of information, he and Fletcher went to No. 18,
Leicester-square, and inquired for a gentleman named Jones.
They were shown to a room in the third floor, where they
found the prisoner just got out of bed. Witness asked him
what name he meant to give as his own, and he said, " My
name is Skerrett." Witness asked him if he had ever been
at the Bath Hotel, and he said he had not. He was then
told that he was accused of a robbery at that house, and
he made no reply. Witness searched him, and found
nothing, but afterwards seeing him hand a bunch of keys
from his pocket to Fletcher he again searched him and
found a purse, containing four pawnbrokers' duplicates re-
latinc, to articles of property, belonging to Mr. Pratt, now
produced.. Witness asked him where the watch was, and
he said, " My watch is in the drawer," pointing to one, and
witness found Mr. Pratt's watch there. He also found a
number of trinkets belonging to that gentleman.
Fletcher produced the tin box, with numerous articles of
jewellery, and stated that when the prisoner was brought to

--
this office he said, " I am a most unfortunate young man.
Misfortune alone induced me to commit this offence, which
is my first and only one."
Mr. Woodgate, shopman to Mr. Cameron, a pawnbroker
in the Strand, produced a brooch pawned by the prisoner
for 125., and other articles.
Mr. Bridge, shopman to Mr. Walmsley, in the London-
road, pawnbroker, produced a brooch and a diamond-ring,
each pawned for 4/. by the prisoner on the 28th and 29th
of October.

Mr. Samuel Rutter, assistant to Mr. Massey, a jeweller,
at No. 17, Leadenhall-street, produced a diamond-brooch,
which he purchased for 71. from the prisoner on the 22d of
October.
The whole of these articles were identified by Mr. Pratt
as part of the property contained in the tin case.
The prisoner upon this charge declined saying anything,
and was ordered to stand committed for trial, and the wit-
nesses were bound over to prosecute.
Mr. Pratt had a narrow escape of losing 701. in notes
which he had left in a portfolio upon the mantel-piece,
and which were untouched. This gentleman said that if
he had brought his wife and daughter forward they could
have proved that they saw the prisoner come out of his (Mr.
Pratt's) room, but thqpght that he had gone in there by a
mistake.
A second charge was gone into for stealing a coat and
waistcoat, the property of Mr. Leeds Payne, the proprietor
of the Bath Hotel. These things were missed the same day,
and found in the prisoner's apartment in Leicester-square.
Upon this charge also he was ordered to stand committed,
but to be brought up again on Wednesday, when other
charges will be gone into.
The prisoner's wife was in the office, and was allowed to
accompany her husband back to prison in a coach. She
was deeply affected.
