MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ROBBERY AT THE HYDE-PARK DEMONSTRATION.—
John Lloyd, hawker, was charged with stealing a silver

sewn on the previous evening, he was in Hyde-park, for
the purpose of hearing the speeches at the " Werking
Builders' Demonstration," standing with several others,
when he felt a pull at his watch guard, and immediately
missed his watch from his waistcoat pocket ; and as the
prisoner was the only person who he thought could
possibly have taken it, he said to him, "You've
taken my watch," upon which the prisoner replied, " You
are under a mistake, sir." He (prosecutor) said he was
sure he was not, and that he had got it, and the prisoner then
produced it, apparently from his sleeve, and ran off, he
(prosecutor) pursuing him with the cry of " Stop thief,"
and he was secured by some of the persons present,

Sergeant Green, 24 A, said the prisoner was known to
Cole, the detective.
Mr Beadon (addressing the prisoner) said ho was charged
with stealing a silver watch. Was he guilty or not ?
Prisoner said he was guilty, and Mr. Beadon at once
committed him for six months' hard labour.
