ATROCIOUS OUTRAGE AND ROBBERY.-.--REVIVAL
or GAuorrlNG.—John Barrett, aged 19, and
Samuel Jacobs, 20, two well-known and desperate
thieves, were brought before Mr. Paget on remand,
charged with violently assaulting and robbing Mr
James Beckett, storekeeper, of No. 11, Gill-street
Limehouse, at 9 o'clock on Sunday, March 15,
when ho was suddenly attacked by the prisoners
in Five Bell-alley, immediately behind Limehouse
Church, garotted, and after being plundered of his
watch and part of his chain, was dashed on the
ground by the villains, and left there insensible.
The attack was so sudden and savage that the pro-
secutor could not positively identify either of the
persons, but he recollected seeing Barrett as he en-
tered tha alley on his way home. He is a little elderly
man, and could not offer an effectual resistance
to the ruffians who assaulted him and
plundered him. He now identified his watch,
which was pawned the morning after the robbery in
the NV h heel) apel-road.
Michael Leader, a boy
who knew the prisoners
well, said that Barrett was called Longcoat, and
Jacobs was known as Nicker. He saw both in
Five Bell-alley at nine o'clock on the 15th of last
month. He heard the screams of murder. He
looked down the alley. Jacobs had his hand on
the prosecutor's mouth, and Barrett was taking his
watch. Jacobs said, " Have you got it yet ?"
Barrett said " No," and clapped his hand on pro-
secutor's mouth, and his arm round his neck. The
prosecutor was quite exhausted, and Barrett then
broke his chain and carried away his watch and
part of his chain. They then threw the old man on
the ground, and left him there.
Mr. Beckett, recalled—ln the first instance one of
his assailants put his arm round his neck and nearly
strangled him, and the hand of the same man was
placed on his mouth.
The prisoners called two Irishwomen; named
Margaret Shea and Elizabeth Barrett, of the thieves'
-streets, Spitalfields, to
evidence was very unsatisfac-
tory.
