DARINe ROBBERY AND OUTRAGE.—A. ticket of leave,
man, a rntfianly looking fellow, named William Free-
man, was brought before Mr. Yardley charged with
being concerned iu a robbery, and assaulting Mr. Hyman
Ilyams, clothier, in the employ of Mr. Simon Moses,
clothier, in the Whitecbapel-road.
Mr. Hyanis said be Mt his wife at the door to look
after the goods expo,ed for sale, when he heard a cry of
"Thief," and was informed that a pair of trousers had
been stolen from the door. He went out and saw the
thief running away with the trousers in his hand. He
pursued him, and had nearly come up with him when
the prironer made his appearance, put out his leg, and
threw him heavily on the ground. The prisoner was
about to strike him with a stick, but was prevented
doing so by the bystanders, who interfered and took
him into sustody. He should have overtaken the thief,
and secured him, and obtained re-possession of the pro-
perty, if the prisoner had not stopped him.
William Penny, a young man, confirmed the statement
of the last witness, and stated that ho assisted in securing
the prisoner.
Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner was
formerly one of the most dangerous thieves in the dis-
trict, and had been transported.
Mr. Yardley—What has he been doing lately
Roche—l don't know, sir ;heis a ticket of leave man,
and I don't think he has been long away from one of the
convict prisons.
The prisoner said he bad nothing to do with the rob-
bery.
Mr. Yardley—No, but you prevented the capture of
the thief, and by your daring act of violence caused him
to escape with his booty.
The prisoner—l had only come out of a penny show,
your Worship.
Mr. Yardley—No place you were more like to come
from. - _ _

Mr. H. James said that simillr robberies were of fre-
quent occurrence, and that the trousers stolen were
valued at 18s.
Mr. Yardley—l shall commit the prisoner for trial for
stealinff a pair of trousers, tend it is right the prisoner
and others should know that ''a person assisting in the
escape of a thief is to be considered as a participator in
the cff,nce.
The depwitions were then taken, and the prisoner was
formally committed to the Clerkenwell Sessions for trial.
