THE LATE ROBBERY IN THE STRAND.—DanieI
Shaw, James Badcock, John Gardner, Mary Ann
,Sherineau, George Bencher, Charles Clinton, the prose
cutor'a shop-boy, and Mary Ann Bencher, were piaci d
at the bar before Mr. Henry, charged on suspicion of
being connected with, and having assisted in, the late
robbery of jewellery, &e., at Messrs. Clapham and Wil-
liams, 13 and 14, Strand. Mr. Wontner attended on be-
half of the two prisoners Benchers.
Inspector Lund stated that he proceeded to the house of
Messrs. Clapham and Williams yesterday afternoon,
after leaving that court, and had an interview with tae
prisoner Charles Clinton, the prosecutor's shop-boy, in
the Craven Hotel. He told hien what information he had
received, and he stood for three or four minutes without
speaking, and then said What Badcock said about me
meeting him on Saturday night I think is false. I
hardly know what to say, but the best way is to confess
all to you. I was to meet the parties, I don't
know who they were or where they live.
Mr. Shaw was certainly implicated in it. he told we
that they were to meet the on Hungerford-britlgo on
Saturday last. I 'raft them 1 think about a f)rtnight
ago fur the first time for the purpose of robbing the
place. I met them again on Saturday evening, and then
I arranged to meet them on Monday night to let them
in. I did so, and admitted two men. Shortly after I
left the shop. I admitted them berme the porter, Kelly.
came in. tend that was how the robbery was effect. d.
Charles Kelly is ignorant of this charge, and I said
nothing to imp!icAte him, I hope. One of the men I
placed rebind the counter, and the other was under
some mats. It was 1 that obtained false keys and gave
them to the men. I met the teen en the bridge who
knew me. The first time, one of the men was in-
troduced to ran by Shaw. I met him then in
Viliier's street. The last time I saw Shaw was
on Friday night week. ' I told Badcock that
the robbery was coming off on Saturday night.
Badcock was to have a share in the produce of
the robbery. They were to meet me some night going
home, and they would give me something, how much
don't know. I have not seen Badcock since the rob-
' bery. Of course I hope that the porter Kelly will at
once he set at liberty." Witness then stated that ho at
once removed him to Bow-street station in a cab, and
then proceeded over the water. From information he re-
ceived he apprehended Bsdcock in a public-house. He
removed him to the station, but Bsdcock said nothing.
lle then went to the White Horse, Fetter-lane, and
There met with Shaw, whom ho also removed to 13ow-
street. He stated to witness that he had not seen Clin-
ton for some time past. and knew nothing whatever of
the robtery. There was nothing found in his lodgiegs
to implicate him.
Sergeant Thompson said that from information he re-
ceived he apprehended the priscners Gardiner and
Sherineau, who were walking tegether, this morning be-
tween twelve and one o'clock, at St. George's Circus,
Westminster-road. He told the prisoner Gardner that
be was charged with burglartously breaking into and
entering a house in the Strand. He also took the pri-
soner Sherineau into custody. They were both sober.
When at the station-houte he brought Clinton to lace
the prisoner Gardner, and asked him whether he was
one who was let into the house; to which Clinton replied,
" Yes, he is." Gardner than exclaimed, " Good God
Almighty, I never saw the boy in my life. I
know nothing about it." Leaving them at the
station, he then proceeded. in company with Sergeant
West, to Pearl-row,,Blackfriare, where he apprehended
the two Benchers on the tame charge as the others.
He asked Mary Ann I3enchers to turn her pechets out.
She did so, and a duplicateof a ring fell out. There was
also a piece of paper, in which was a lot of jewellery.
When at Bow-street they were shown to Clintes, and
asked whether he knew them in connexion with the
robbery, to which he replied that they were. The fe-
male searcher at the Bow-street station deposed that this
morning she searched the prisoner Sherineau, arid en
doing so she gave witness a bag containing 158/. 10s. all
in gold, which she had saved up to go to America. She
then contradicted that statement, and said that an aunt
, had kft it to her.

Each ( f the priionera were then asked if they wished
to say anything in answer to the charge, and on reply-
ing in the negative they were remanded for a week, Mr.
Henry refusing to accept ten for either of them.
