ROBBERY.—Patrick Mahoney, an Irish labourer,
aged 22 years, was brought before Mr. Benson
charged with stealing a watch and chain and vari-
ous articles of linen and wearing apparel, the pro-
perty of Elizabeth Russell, of No. 15, Church-street,
Blackfriars-road.
The complainant said—About four months ago
she was in respectable service at No. 2, Lockwood-
terrace, Guildford, and while there she made
the acquaintance of the prisoner, who paid his
addresses to her and was accepted as her lover.
He promised her marriage, and the bans were put
up in a Protestant Church. At last he prevailed
her to leave Guildford and to proceed to London,
where he said they could get married by a Roman
Catholic priest. She accompanied him to London,
and he took an apartment near the Waterloo Station.
He effected her ruin, and then put off the marriage
day, on the ground that he had to go to con-
fession, and perform other acts of penitence and
submission to his church before he could contract a
marriage. He persuaded her to live with him at
No. 6, John-street, Poplar. He behaved very
ill to her, stole her watch and chain worth
£6 10s., a gold ring, and other articles, which
he pawned, and on Monday week he finally aban-
doned her, taking with him everything belonging
to him except the clothes she stood upright in.
Sue had recourse to the charity of a person in
Church-street, Blackfriars-road, for a few nights'
lodging, and sought for the prisoner, who was
traced by the City of London police to Gun-
powder-alley, Shoe-lane. Last night the prosecu-
trix went there with Thomas Barber, a policeman of
the City force, No. 429. On the prosecutrix ask-
ing for Patrick Mahoney she was told that uo per-
son of that name lived there, and was turned out
of the house. Barber, however, forced his way into
the house, and found the prisoner iu an upstairs
room. He took him into custody, and on the
way to the station-house the prisoner said the
young woman had no business to leave Guildford
and come to London with him, and that she was as
bad as him. He denied having taken her clothes
and linen, but no other person could have taken
them, and he was away while she was in bed and
asleep on the evening of November 23.

In cross-examination by the prisoner, the prose-
cutrix said that she did not give the prisoner leave
to pawn her watch and chain. There was a conver•.
sation between them about pawning a ring. She
did pawn it herself in Grundy-street, Poplar, for ls 61
to obtain food, and the prisoner stole the ticket out
of her drawer and obtained 3s. 6d. more upon it
without her sanction.

Mr. Benson said the prosecutrix could not expect
much sympathy after eloping with a bricklayer's la-
bourer, of whom she knew very little. The
prisoner's conduct, however was as disgraceful
as it could possibly be, and it was the behaviour of
a coward and a blackguard. The prisoner had
seduced the girl and made her live with him, and
then robbed her. The prisoner was as great a
villain as ever went before a jury, and then when
he was taken into custody he had the impudence to
boast that she was as bad as him, that she ought
not to have left Guildford at all. lie remanded tho
prisoner for a week.

MADRID, Dec. 2.
A rumour was afloat yesterday evening that the
Volunteers on Guard at the Hotel de Ville were to
be relieved during the night by the troops of the
line. Consequently groups of people were collected
on the Puerta del Sol, and rem,tined there until ono
o'clock this morning. Upon the arrival on the
spot of the Captain-General of Madrid, Senor Iz-
quierdo, and his denial of the truth of the rumour
the people returned to their homes.
