MARY LEB ONE.

Among the police charges yesterday was a re-
spectable looking man, who was brought before Mr.

RAWLINSON by D, 102, who charged him with beg'
ging in the neighbourhood of Dorset-square, Lisson-
grove, last evening.
D, 102, (Richard Bradshaw) watched the pri-
soner down Milton-street, where he saw him beg-
ging, to Dorset-square, where he went up to him.
The mendicant told witness that he was a bricklayer
out of work, and that a penny was really all he had
in the world, but witness found copper in one
pocket, a shilling and sixpence in the fingers of an
old olove, and a silver watch in his fob.
Mendicant—The watch is mine.
Mr. RAWLINSON--Wilo said that it was not ?
But what is your name ? Mendicant—My name,
S-r ? Why, your Worship, my name is James
Harman, and I am a bricklayer by trade.
Mr. RAWLINS ON —Well, with watch and money
you turn beggar, and that's what you have to answer
for. Every thing stamps you, in my judgment, as a
base imposter and sturdy vagrant. You have also
a ticket for the Mendacity Society, which certifies
what you are. I must therefore commit you for a
month to the House of Correction.
Harmati—Pray don't, my dear Sir.
Mr. RAWLINSON—Don't dear me. I find ale:),
by Mr. Gregorie's decision, at Queen-square, that
property found on pretenders like yourself is liable
to be sold for your support, and I shall order the
selling of your watch.
HATTON-GARDEN:
Yesterday, Edward Saunders, alias Jones, Frede-
rick Biddell, and George Brown, were brought up
for final examination, charged with the following
daring highway-robberies:—
On the evening of the 6th of September, Mr.
Thomas Luckin, of No. 21, Bartholomew-close, was
walking along Goswell-street-road, on his way to
Canonbury, when he was surrounded by a gang of
ruffians, knocked down, and robbed of his gold
watch, chain, and seals; the thieves maltreated him
in a desperate manner and dislocated his shoulder.
Being unable to pursue the thieves, they made their
escape; but having received information from the
police that three individuals were in custody at this
office, for a robbery, under similar circumstances, he
attended, and identified the prisoners Saunders and
Biddell, the former as being the one who knocked
him down, and the latter who stole his watch.
A second charge was made against the prisoners
by Mr. T. Pritchard, of 4, East-street, Red Lion.
square.
On Monday, the 25th of September, about eight
o'clock in the evening, the prosecutor was proceed-
ing along Hatton-garden, arm-in-arm with. Miss
Pritchard, his daughter, when they were surrounded
by a gang of thieves, who hustled them, and ulti-
mately knocked him down, ill-used him violently,
and robbed him of a gold watch, chain, and seals.
The gang was pursued, and the prisoner Saunders
was taken into custody.
Mr. Pritchard could positively swear to Saunders
as the pi rion who stole his watch from his fob, as
he had a full view of hits at the time he made the
snatch.

Miss Pritchard corroborated this testimony, and
spoke positively to Saunders.
The other prisoners ►were represented by the
utlicers as visiters of flish-houseA, and Biddell had
been formerly convicted as a repu'ed thief.
Other ►►itnesses were produced to s►vear to
Saunders.

Au individual, who represented himself as Brown's
master, gave him a character, and said he was will-
ing to receive him back into his service.
The MAGISTRATES said that great suspicion rested
upon him, and they would 'equire 1001. bail for his
appearance whenever called upon.
The other prisoners were fully committed on the
charge of Mr. Pritchard.

QUEEN-SQUARE.
Yesterday John Anderson was brought up in
custody by Currie, charged with selling the publica-
tion called the Poor Man's Guardian, the same not
being duly stamped.
Mr. GREGORIE committed him for one month to
the House of Correction.

WORSHIP-STREET.

Yesterday a fat and stout elderly dan:e, who gave
her name Harriet Couch, was brought before Mr.
TWYFORD, from her domicile in Holy well-lane,
Shoreditch, charged with being a receiver of stolen
goods.

Mr. Gaites, a respectable cheesemonger in High-
street, Shoreditch, at eight o'clock on that morning
saw two boys enter his shop, and walk off with a
Cheshire cheese. He immediately left the parlour,
where he was writing, and followed them a short
distance to see which way they went. At nine
o'clock he informed Robinson, an active constable
in the neighbourhood, of the circumstance, who, in
a short time after, requested him to accompany him
to a " shop of all trades" in Holywell-lane, where
he might probably meet with the boys who had
stolen his cheese.
Robinson informed the Magistrate that knowing
the prisoner to be a" dealer in all articles," and also
keeping a new beer shop, he requested the prosecutor
to accompany him thither, strongly suspecting that
among the said articles he might find his stolen
chtese. For the purpose of accomplishing his
object, he persuaded him to call for a pint of ale,
which, after tasting, he pronounced to be " ex-
cellent." While in the act of placing the empty
glass on the table, he said, " Robinson, look there;
-- me if that's not my cheese lying on the or
polite counter, I'll swear to it, although cut in two;
the very cheese the boys stole from me this morn-
ing." Witness, on proceeding.to take the cheese
into custody, found to his astonishment, underneath
the cJunter, more than one . hundred parcels, with
bits of paper attached to them. Some of them, it
appeared from the writing, were for shifts, breeches,
shoes, &c. In short, said the officer, it was a coin-
p!e e pawnbroker's shop. The officer, in reply to *
ques,ion from the Magistrate, said that it was a
common practice with some of the proprietors of,
the new beer shops to take in ladies' and gentkmen's
apparel as a security for what they drank or ate.
The prisoner, not being able to give a satisfactory-
account of how she became possessed of the
he was remanded for further examination.
