Highway Robbery at King's Cross.

At the Clerkenwell Police-court, yesterday, George Main,
aged 30, who described himself as a traveller, having no
fixed place of abode, and William White, aged 37, apolisher,
of Liverpool-road, Islington, were charged, More Mr. Bar-
ker, with feloniously assaulting and stealing from the per-
soa of Mr. James Thomas Swallow, auctioneer and toy and
fancy dealer, of Market-place, Peterborough, a purse con-
taining £2B 10s., his property, at King's-cross.
. Mr. Nutt, solicitor, of Penchurch-street, City, prosecuted.
The prosecutor, who was so ill and weak from the effects
of the prisoners' violence that he had to be accommodated
with a seat, said—l am an auctioneer, and carry on business
at Market-place, Peterborough. I came to London on Tues-
day afternoon on business, and last evening went to King's-
cross rail way station fur the purpose of returning hoine, aad
had placed my bag and overcoat in the carriage. 'I had
about half an hour to wait before the train started, and
went out of the station for the purpose of smoking. 1 went
to the " Victoria" Tavern and had a glass of pale ale. I
went to the cab entrance of the station, and when I was
speaking to the porter a female came up, and having over-
heard what I was saying to the porter, she said, "Are you
going to Glasgow ?" I said, "No ; lam going by the Edin-
burgh mail." She said, " I am from Glasgow ; I should like
to go there ;" and I said, "You had betterv.," and I walked
on to the other side of the road, to where,"
„Some buildings
are being pulled down. I was just in the act of crossing the
road when the same woman came up and said, "I should
like to go to Glasgow," when I said, " Go away, woman ;
don't bother me." The very moment I said that the two pri-
soners came up, and White said, "Do you know where Mr.
Johnson lives about here ?" I said, " No, I am an entire
stranger;" and then. he struck me with au umbrella he
had in his right hand:on the right side of the face and
head.. Then the prisoner Main came up, and I received
another blow on the left side of the face, but from whom I
cannot say. There was no one there but the two prisoners
and the female, and I got the blow from one of the three,
who were in a cluster. The second blow hurt me very
much and knocked me down, and whilst I was on the
ground I felt for my money which I had had a minute orso
before, and I found it was gone. Whilst I was down, I said
" You vagabonds, I have lost my purse ; you have robbed
me. And then White said, " Oh, no, nothing of the sort ;
nonsense." I said, " You have," and he laid hold of me
and tried to PreVent me getting up: I pushed him on one
side, seeing the other prisoner and the woman running
away, and he tried to trip me up, but he did not. I caught
the woman and held her and said, "You or the men have
robbed me—one of the three have." Upon that
I received a blow from some one, but I cannot say from
whom. -That blow took my senses away, and when I re-
covered the man and the woman were gone. The police
came up, and as I was speaking to them I saw White on the
other side of the road, and I said, "That is the man that
knocked me down first." As soon as the police seized him
the prisoner Main, who was standing close by, ran off. I
did not recognise Mainat first, but when I heard him speak
at the police station I was certain that he was the man,
though I did not say he knocked me down. I missed from
my pocket £2B 10s. It was all in gold, in a canvas bag.
By the prisoner Main—l can swear that you are the man
that assisted the other prisoner in knocking me down. I
say so, on my honour.

Mr. Alexander (clerk)—lt is not your honour, it is your
oath.

Witness continued—l cannot say that you hit me. I
know you by your speech. I did not know you by your
features, for, my good fellow, I did not kiss you. (A laugh.)
Mr. Alexander—Answer the question, and do not talk
so much.

By White—lt was about five mieutes after I had been
assaulted that I saw you and gave you into custody.
Richard Spratt, a cabdriver, of 2, Ewing-place, Thames-
bank, Pimlico, said—Last night about nine o'clock I was
coming out of the back-way of the Great Northern Railway.
I pulled up as soon as I got out of the gates, and I saw 3 men
running very fast by me. They stopped at the corner of the
street, and the prosecutor spoke to a woman. As I got down
to them I saw the prosecutor get up from on the ground,
and the two prisoners run off. I can swear to White, and
to the best of my belief Main is the other man. The
men ran different ways, and the woman walked up Ed-
ward-street, the same way as I came out. 1 thought it
was a strange affair, and the prosecutor came up and
said, " The villians have robbed me." I said, "It is a
pity you did not call for the police or for assistance, as
then the thieves would have been stopped." The 'prose-
cutor then crossed to speak to a police-sergeant, and
whilst speaking to him he said, "What is that ?" point-
ing to White, who was on the opposite side of the road,
and then gave White into custody. When they took him
the prisoner Main came up, and the prosecutor [said,
" I think that is the other man," on which Main attempted
to walk off, but the constable stopped him. lam sure of the
prisoner White, because I saw his face as he ran past me.
He was wearing a white hat. I did not see Main's face, but
to the best of my belief he is the man.

Police-Sergeant Geo. Parry, 14 Y, said-1 was passing up
the St. Pancrap-road about 9 o'clock last night when I saw
the prosecutor leaning against a hoarding very much ex-
hausted. I asked hint what was the matter. He said he
had been knocked down and robbed. He gave me a de-
scription of the persons, and whilst he was doing so I saw
both the prisoners coming close together down the St. Pan-
eras-road. I called his attention to them, saying " There
is a man with a white hat," and I went across and seized
White. I did not speak to him nor heard auy one, when
he said " I did not rob the gentleman. I have come to
see a friend off by the train." At that time the prosecutor
came up. A mob collected, and the other prisoner was
standing about two yards from me looking on like the
other bystanders. The prosecutor looked round and said
"There is the other man that robbed me," and then Main
immediately made off, pursued by police-constable Wood-
row. I searched White, who had an umbrella in his pos-
session.

By Mt.in—l saw you and White coining down tho St.
Pancras-road together, and I had seen you together about
a quarter of an hour before that. You did not run away,
but you walked very hurriedly.
Mr. Alexander (clerk)—Do you wish to ask the sergeant
any more questions ?

The prisuner—No. I have nothing further to "axe" him
for he is not tolling tho truth.
Inspector Fraser, Y division, who watched the case on
behalf of the Commissioners of Police, said that both the
prisoners wore known as companions.
Police-sergeant Cook, 8 Y, said that White was a ticket-
of-leave man, and his sentence would not expire until
Christmas next.

Mr. Barker committed the prisoners to the Central Cri-
minal Court for trial.

sengers and $67,200 in specie for England, and for Bre-

DISCOVERY OF Two FOGOUS.—Mr. Blight, Mr.
T. Cornish, and Mr. Drew, of Penzance, on Friday last
discovered, and partly opened, at Treveneage, in St.
Hilary, one of the artificial caverns known in this neigh-
bourhood as "Fogous." All trace of it had been buried
time out of mind deep beneath the sbil of a cultivated
field, and all recollection of it would have been lost had
not the owner of the farm, Mr. Robert Osborne, fortu-
nately broken a ploughshare against one of the shallower
covering-stones some thirty years ago. On that occa-
sion the offending stone was removed, and, in remov-
ing it, a cavity was observed below, which impressed
itself on Mr. Osborne's memory. Recent archaeological
activity in the district made him desire that Treveneage
should rival, if not excel, Trove, Chapel Uni, and
Castullack. So he put four stout horses into a plough,
and drove his furrows deeper and deeper until another
covering stone was struck and tho Fogou discovered.
It has, thus far, been traced from its commencement--T
unroofed for about 28 feet, and then roofed for six feet
more. The excavation at present terminates at one of
the little doorways or lintelled openings which are found
in every Fogou yet known. On the left-hand side close
by this door a very small, narrow passage through which
it is as much as a middle-sized man can do to creep, leads
into a low, arched chamber, cut out of the country, andb
r
which was never either faced or roofed. This charn e
was about 15 feet long, 12 broad, circular (or rather
is every ap-
elliptic), and peilops 3} to 4 feet big
pearance of the continuation of the caveh.lei.e
beyond the door-
way; and arrangements have been made for following
it up in the course of the next
_week or ton days.
It is supposed that the work will be doney by Y Society of
Antiquaries; or else by the Local Society. A spear-head
and some pottery, found in the excavations, have already
been secured. There seems little doubt that the fogou
was either within or immediately outside the old British
fort at Treveneage Bekkan, which formerly protected the
tinworks and smelting-houses, of which traces exist in the
valley below, but which fort some ruthless improver of his
estate destroyed long before the present enlightened era.
