that the prisoner " Daddy Windy" and " Goosey
Harris" did it.

He replied that he did not. The officer men-
tioned their names.

Mr. Seeker asked if there was any further evi-
dence against the prie oner.
Sergeant Wise replied in the negative.
Mr. Seeker—Then he must be discharged, but if
any positive evidence could be obtained against
him, he would again be apprehended.
William Mains, a rough-looking fellow, and
Elizabeth Mains, his wife, were then charged with
rescuing him from custody.
George Hall, police constable 164 P, said he heard
of the robbery, and on the same afternoon he saw
the prisoner just discharged in Lock's-fields, and
the two prisoners at the bar were near him. He
told Delorey what he was charged with, and took
him into custody, and after walking a little dis-
tance, he tilled out to Mains, who ran up and
seized witness with both hands round the throat
from behind, and nearly throttled him. He was
rendered incapable of holding Delorey any longer,
therefore he made his escape. He then had a
violent struggle with the male prisoner, who was
supplied with a knife by the female, and they both
attacked him. The man would have injured him
with the krife, only witness was too powerful for
them, as after about twenty minutes' struggling,
he succeeded in apprehending them.
Mr. Seeker sentenced the man to three months'
hard labour, and the female to one month.

LAMBETH.—IMPUDENT ROBBEltY.—Jeremiah
Cavanagh, a cab-owier, and who was said to be, a
member of a highly respectable Irish family, was
placed within the felon's dock, before Mr. Elliott,
and charged with the following daring robbery
Sergeant Bell, 39 P, deposed that on Thursday
last lie received information that on Thursday even-
ing before a cabman had been engaged to take a
gentleman from Grove-road, Camberwell, to the
London-bridge station, that while passing along
near the Elephant and Castle the driver drove his
vehicle against an omnibus, thereby causing a con-
siderable collision, and on the gentleman jumping
out in a fright drove off without him, and with a
portmanteau, containing wearing apparel and other
property to the amount of nearly £5O. The pri-
soner, who was the driver, being without a badge
he found much difficulty in tracing him, and it was
not until last Saturday he could get any tidings of
him. On that day he found him in custod3, at
Marlborough-street on a charge of drunkenness, and
there arrested him. The prisoner at first denied
having taken any fare from Camberwell, but subse-
quently said he knew where the missing property,
could be found, and on searching his house in Kings-
ford-street, Islington, he found the missing port.
manteau, with the lock and fastenings torn away,
but the whole of the contents, so far as could be at
present ascertained, safe.
Elizabeth Wright, servant to Mr. Landean, in
Camberwell-grove, said that on Tuesday week she
called the prisoner off the Camberwell stand, to take
Mr. Landean, who was going to Germany, to the
London-bridge station. The portmanteau produced
was placed on the cab, and some time after her mas-
ter returned, saying that the prisoner had driven
off, from near the Elephant and Castle, with the
property ; the consequence was that he was obliged
to start for Germany at great inconvenience, with
only a few things.
A cousin of the prosecutor said he had been to
Scotland-yard, and most of the police-stations in the
metropolis, to inquire for the property, but could
hear nothing of it.
Mr. Lewis, jun., who attended for the prisoner,
affected to treat the matter with perfect indiffer-
ence. He said his client had acted stupidly, from
the effects of liquor, and of course made himself
amenable to a penalty under the Hackney Coach
Act, for not delivering the property up to the police.
Mr. Elliott took adifferent view of the affair;
and it having been stated that another portmanteau,
with the lock broken off, was found in his house,
The prisoner was remanded for a week.

house and succeeded in preventing her carrying
her intention into effect. (The witness produced

that lie was an
.engineer, and that when he left

it being stated to him that his wife had attempted
to canmit suicide.
Mr. Selfe—How can you account for her-attempt
