Thomas Robinson, lately a clerk at the New Inn, Ohl
Bailey, was charged with robbing his employers, Mr.
Flowers, the Solicitor to the Society for Prosecuting
Felons, said that there were several cases against the
prisoner, but confined himself to one, in which the pri-
soner had embezzled a check for 201., which he had
received from a Mr. Akeman.— The charge was fully
proved ; and the prisoner, who said nothing in his defence,
was committed for trial.
B 0 TV- STREET.

A fine young man, who drives a stage-coach, between
Battersea. and Leadenhall-street, appeared before Mr.
HALLS, in great distress of mind, and stated that he came
to solicit his advice under the following circumstances :
He resided at Battersea with his father and family, who
had a small property. His father had been in the habit
of passing an hour or two every evening at a public house,
situated a very short distance from his residence, fur the
last twelve years. On Thursday night he went as usual,
and )eft at his customary time. He, however, did nut
return home, and on inquiries being made, it appeared
that about an hour after he had left the public house he
was seen in a direction quite opposite to that for reaching
his house. He bad not since been heard of, and further
intelligence could not be gained of him. Mr. HALLS
asked if he had to pass along the bsnks of the river on his
way home ? The young man replied in the negative.
Mr. HALLS then inquired if any thing had occurred to
distress his mind ? The applicant said that his father
was in easy circumstances; but he had bee❑ much fretted
of late, in consequence of having burst a blood vessel. It
certainly was strauge that his father had left his watch at
home, as well as his snuff-box. Mr. HALLS said that it
was a most distressing circumstance, and ordered one of the
officers to assist the young man in taking all possible mea•
sures to discover the fate of his father. He is an elderly
man, had no money i❑ his pocket, and was not intoxicated
when he left the public-house.
MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

A respectably-dressed man named Joseph _Esser, a native
of Germany, was re-examined, on a charge of obtaining
741. from the banking-house of Messrs. Wigney and Co.,
Brighton, by means of a forged cheque, purporting to be
drawn by the Countess of Aldborough. The prisoner was
lately servant to the Countess, who attended, and stated
that the cheque was a forgery. A gentleman connected
with the banking-house also attended, and stated that the
prisoner was the individual who presented the cheque,
and received the amount. The transaction, however, having
taken place in Sussex, the prisoner was ordered to be con-
veyed to Brighton for examination.
A lady, named Thorn, residing in Regent-street, was
brought to this office on an assault warrant, at the instance
of a gentleman named Francis. Both parties were attended
by professional gentlemen and friends and it appeared that
for some time past a difference of opinion existed respecting
some property. Mr. Francis, a few days since, proceeded
to Mrs. Thorns residence, and again broached the subject
in dispute, when high words ensued, and the lady put an
end to the conversation by reaching down a whip and in-
flicting sundry blows on the shoulders of Mr, Francis.
This was the assault complained of. After argument on
bogs sides the lady entered into sureti,a to answer any
complaint that might be preferred against her at the sessions.
Informationa were heard against the undermentioned
publicans for allowing cards to be played in their houses ;
viz. White, of the Rose and Crown, Hertford-
street; Mr. Clark, Three Crowns, Richmond-street, St.
James's ; the Proprietor of the Castle, Shepherd's-court ;
Mr. Payne, Fish and Bell, Charles-street, St. Ann's ; and
Mrs. Drysdale, Duke's Head, Pultney-street. The whole.
