WORSHIP-STREET.

Jane Wyatt, John Wyatt, her brother, and a young
man named George Street, were placed at the bar be-
fore Mr. Broughton, the sitting magistrate, the female
charged with robbing Mr. H. l'apling, a merchant,
and the others with- receiving the stolen property.
The prosecutor, it appeared, was passing sear the 1

Eagle in the City-road, on Friday night, when the

two male prisoners, ran after and accosted him. fie
repelled, arid endeavoured to walk away from her, but
she kept up with him, making some playful remarks
about a cigar that he was smoking, and put up her
hand as if to lay hold of it, after which she went hastily
off. He immediately discovered that he had been rob-
bed of a valuable breast-pin, and turning hack, saw the
female rejoin hcr male companions, and hand something
to Wyatt, in whose hand he then distinctly saw the Rine
The prosecutor advanced directly to Wyatt, and, Betz*
ing his hand, exclaimed, " You have got my breast-pin,
there ! " The prisoner denied it, but pressed his hand
to his side, and, as was then supposed, dropped the pin
into his pocket. The police had by that time corns
up, and the two male prisoners were taken into cos"
toly by Sergeant Shean, while Andrews, another
officer, went in company with the prosecutor, and
apprehended the female, who, speaking aside to the,
latter, told him that she had given the pin to "Jack
(her brother), and that if he would not press till/
charge he should not only have his own property back,
but her silk shawl in addition. Thf• prisoners were
searched at the station-h.,use, without disrov,'ry of the
missing pin; hut the i,! the pht'

pin lying upon the ver - ,t Watt had stow
when he was uppused to have put toe pin into his
pocket.
The female prisoner now alleged that she was drunk
and unconscious of what she did at the time, and the
male prisoners denied all knowledge of the matter.
Mr. BROUGHTON asked if they were previousli
known, and was answered in the affirmaive as to
the prisoners.
A brother of the Wyatts was stated to have been
transported, and their father was last week tried at
the Central Criminal Court, and convicted of stealing
a cheese in the most daring manner from a cheese;
monger's shop in Pitfield-street, tioxton. The ply
sorter Jane Wyatt had been many times in custodi
and tried at the Old Bailey, and was the reputed wife
of James Burton, who was not lung since transported
for coining.
The MAGISTRATE said there was not sufficient proof
against Street, whom he therefore discharged ; but he
committed Jane and John Wyatt to Newgate for trial-

11,‘ ON-11A L
George Hazell Frazer, a young man of highly'
respectable family, appeared on his rec gni:tance 0
answer a charge of stealing two half crowns and s
door. key from the person of Anne Thorpe, the wife
of an engineer, living in Holland-street, Blackfriars.
The foll,wing are the brief facts, which are of
rather a singular description :—On Wednesday nig',
last the complainant gave the prisoner into custody
the door of the Naked Boy public-house, on a charge
of robbing her of two half-crowns and a door-keg'
The F risoner denied the accusation, but when he 10
searched two half-crowns were found in his pockel%
one of which was very black, being identified by iti.
complainant, and also the key of her door. The Pr's
soner, on the former examination, denied the truth of
the accusation, and, according is his account, r
met the complainant at the door of a pubbc.,
house in the Borough, out of which she ""
turned by the barman, being intoxicated at thatirne•
That he (prisoner) walked with the complainant for
some distance, treated her to some spirits, and they
afterward.; proceeded to accompany her to a house ot
ill fame in Kent-street, on leaving which they We!,
into another public-house, and on leaving that S:
charged him with robbing her of the money and tI
Pe
key. He admitted that the key was found in i 4
pocket, but said that he could not account for the cit.
cumstance, otherwise than believing it had been
placed there by the woman who preferred the charged
against him. He added that he was independent, 10
lived on his property, and he argued on the improbi.
bility of a man in his condition of life taking &dyad
tage of a woman, and robbing her of her money 11,.°
key. The prisoner's brothers, both highly respect',
ble men, attended, as well as other friends, and gar
the accused a most excellent character as a man 'p.
capable of acting in the manner described.
The complainant denied that she had accompall2.l
the prisoner to the house of ill-fame ; spoke of 11,1
being married to an engineer, and said that she coon!
have no motive in trumpinz up a chary- of feloniA
against the prisoner She admitted that &he h
acted with imprudence in entering a public-114'o
with a stranger, but th.t she would not have done 3
but for the circumstance of her taking a littie,"?..,
much at the house of a relative at Camberwell belt:"
she met with the complainant.
The magistrate sent for some witnesses, the of Xll,
cipal of whom were the landla ly of the house of libe
fame where the prisoner alleged he accomvaniedtej
complainant, and also the barman of the Nl"'
Boy public-house, the first of whom could not ide,lY
tify the parties ; but a younger female in the hou'.;
said that she saw the complainant and the prisoner
the house alluded to on the night in question. Int
barman also stated that the complainant was put °-
of the house on the night alluded to. She was till
and noisy. lie added that she had a glass of liquor 104(
the bar before she was turned out. The barman.;
another public-house stated the complainant and P",i
soner entered the house on the night in question, ""f
that before she quitted the bar she charged the Wine
with robbing her.
Mr. COTTINGITAM took a great deal of pains in theea
inquiry, and said, although it appeared the tow to
was a young man of unimpeachable character 111) ot
the present period, yet he (the magistrate) could Ile,
divest his mind of the strong fact of the complainaned,
key being found in his possession when search..
The magistrate added that he could make no aft
tinction in the present case from any other, and t")
he should, therefore, send it before another triblit'
and for that purpose should commit the prisoper-`"
to the sessions for trial.
re
Bail was taken for the prisoner for his apps
w
to answer the charge.
