AUDACIOUS HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—John Smith, a dirty-
looking youth, well known to the police as a Spitalfields
thief and burglar, was brought before Mr. Woolrych,
charged with stealing a gold watch, value 18 guineas, from
the person of Mr. W. E. Westrup, residing at 14, Coborn-
street, Bow•road.
Mr. Westrup said that last night, about 9 o'clock, he was
walking up the Mile-end-road when the prisoner suddenly
pushed against him and made a snatch at his watch, with
which he made off across a field. He pursued him, and
the prisoner was taken in Tredegar-square and given into
custody. _ _

Police-sergeant Dillon, No. 19 R, said that the prisoner
was a well-known and desperate thief, and had actually
made an attempt to rob another gentleman in the road a
few minutes before he snatched Mr. W estrup's watch. The
gentleman on whom the first attack was made allowed the
prisoner his liberty, and he directly afterwards attacked Mr.
Westrup and stole his watch in the public road.
William Frederick Forth, a boy who saw the robbery
committed, confirmed the statement of Mr. Westrup.
Dillon—The prisoner threatened to murder this lad just
now in the passage of the court if he gave any evidence
against him. The police-sergeant then produced a smart
grey coloured cap, which he found in prisoner's pocket, and
said the prisoner had a black one on his head, and no doubt
if he had lost sight of his pursuers for an instant, he would
have substituted the grey cap for the black one, and when
seen again, would have rendered his identity very
doubtful.

Mr. Woolrych—We must not draw an inference of that
kind, although it is very possible that was his intention.
George Clark, No. 85 K, said he found the prosecutor's
watch this morning at 5 o'clock in the garden in front of a
house in Tredegar.square, close to 'there the prisoner was
stopped.

Dillon said the prisoner had been convicted two or three
times of felony.

Mr. Woolrych—Bring proof of his former convictions
when the prisoner isbrought up again. He is now remanded
for a week.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
There was a fair average supply of beasts on offer in to-
