ROBBERIES AT HoTELs.—Yesterday a very fashionably-
dressed young man, named Cluwks Blake Skeqett, was
charged by Ballard and Fletcher, the officers, with having
committed an extensive robbery at the Bath Hotel, in
Piccadilly.

On the 19th instant, about four o'clock in the afternoon,
the prisoner went to the Bath Hotel, with a great coat and
portmanteau on his arm, and ordered a room fir the night
and rump steak, to be got ready for him as soon as pos-
sible. He was shown to the bedroom, but came down in
a short time, and said he found he must go off to Birming-
ham that night, and as he saw the branch coach in. the
street he would go at once without his dinner. He pail
what would have been charged had he stopped, and went
away, carrying his own luggage. Shortly after it ?Nis :dis-
covered that a room occupied by a gentleman from South-
ampton, next to the one which the prisoner had engaged,
had been entered and robbed of a case containing a valuable
gold watch with a gold chain, and a great quantity of other
valuable jewellery, amounting altogether to 2.001.
scription of the prisoner was published, and yesterday
morning Ballard and Fletcher received information in a way
very curious, and which will come out on a future exami-
nation, that if they went to a certain lodging-house in
Leicester-square they would there find the delinquent.
They went there and inquired for Mr. Jones, in which
name the prisoner had passed in the house, and found
him standing in his bedroom with nothing on but his shirt,
and his head, which was quite bald, caploss. He was
greatly agitated, and said, in answer to a question, that be
never was at the Bath Hotel in his life. The officers
searched, and found the gold watch and chain, and a great
portion of the other property stolen from the Bath Hotel,
together with articles which, no doubt, had been the pro-
duce of the plunder of other hotels. The prir.,earer, while
dressing himself, said, " He never did anyth;eg but at the
Bath Hotel, and the officers tnight save themselves the
trouble of further inquiry." Ameag the rest of the articles
found were two wigs, one of a light and the other of a dark
colour, and a pair of green spectacles.
The prisonor de,:: fined saying anything at this stage of
the inquiry, and was remanded till Monday next.

21IARYLEBONE.

Miss Ana Gould, a masculine-looking woman, the pro-
prietress of t, lodging-house, No. 14, Great Castle-street,
Regent-street, was charged on a w::rrant with inflicting
livers blows on the person of a short thin tailor, named
Richard Daft.

It appeared from the evidence of complainant that he
rented the shop and parlour of the defendant's house. On
Wednesday night he went into the passage to ask the ser-
vu►it of a Lady, occupying the first floor, to request her
mistress to be az quiet as she could, Mrs. Daft being very
ill, when the defendant came up, and, seizing hold of the
hair of his head, struck him a violent blow in the face and.
cut his lip ; he entreated her to desist, when she again as-
saulted him, and at last he extricated himself and went to
his own apartments, she threatening to be sooner or later
the death of him. He the next day applied for a warrant.
He begged leave to tuld that about. a month back the de-
fendant was fined at this Office for assaulting a female lod-
ger, and knocking out two of her front teeth.
The defendant, in reply, said she was first assaulted, and
that the complainant had hindered her letting her lodgiwo.
Some recrimination here ensued, which ended in the war-
rant being dismissed without prejudice to either party if they
wished to proceed further in the case.
