MARYLEBONE.

ROBBERY AT THE FRENCH AUBASSADOR'S.-.-.•
Several persons are now in custody on suspicion of
stealing his Excellency's plate. Arthur William
Langford, the porter's cousin, whose conduct has
been all along suspected, was apprehended on Satur
day night, and detained upon the evidence of
Walters, a Worship.street officer, who had him in
charge eight years ago, under a case of felony, for
which one concerned with him was transported, and
he was committed to the House of Correction for six
months, having received a milder sentence, in con-
sequence of his youth. He bad since been charged
w►th ring-dropping, and the officer knew that he
associated with reputed thieves.
He was brought up again on Tuesday night for
re-examination, and being placed with his hack to-
wards Mary Bailey, the still-room-maid, Mr. Hos-
tot.is asked her, if that was the person with remark-
able fair hair, whom she saw holding the passage
door open at the Prince Polignac's,.iti the afternoon
of Tuesday, the WI instant. Witness.---I believe
it is.

Mr, HamaNs.—ls_ he the same height S Wit,
Hess.---I thought that person rather taller; so he
eppeared,
Mr. Iloocitis.—What is the impression on your
mind now ? Answer with great caution, is it the
same ? Witness.—l say it's the same.
Mr. HosmNs.—Yon told me the other day the
person who held the door open wore a blue coat,
and you had a better opportunity of observing him,
l.lepinfse he was without a hat, than the other who
was with him, nrl *Off pff. PO you notice the
dress of the other person ? Witness.—He wore a
dark coat; I cannot tell whether it was blue or
not, but am able to say he was rather taller than the
prisoner.

Mr, tioniNs---Did you have an oppoitunity of
observing the coaatenanee of the one who held the
door open ? Witness-7:7A side yiew.
HowNs ordered the prisoner to he plapg4 it
that position, and asked the witness if it'was the
same and she replied, " 1 think it is,"
Mr. HosKINs--I have now another very import-
ant question to ask. You must have seen Langford
a great many times ; how was it you did not know
him ? Witness—lt struck me at the moment that
it was Langford.
Mr, i3osifis-7-1)p you think §o still ? Yes.
Mr, ilos4iNs--rix the time as near as you can

if i
when you saw him. Witness—lt-:was from hp/ 1
past three to a quarter before four..
Mr. 110sKINS—DO you know the state of tiil
servants'-hall door at the time ? . Witness-4t.01'1
then a little way open..
Mr. HostuNs-711ow far ? Witness—So 4r.
(placing her hands about nine inches from each other.)..
It also appeared by the statethent4 of some of the
prisoner's relations, who were separately examilA'
that he had given a false account of;the manner io.
which he spent his time on the night of, and dal
following, the robbery; and_he was remanded. •
Yesterday David Watson, of. No. 3, Holywello
row, Shoreditch, bedstead-maker.; Isaac Aniol%,
Henry Bradshaw, of Red Lion-court, Kingslauf
road, cabinet-maker ;;and Edward Hornsby, 0
No. 2, Hart's-lane, Bethnal-green-road, weaver, ere/ •
apprehended by Buckeridge, the constable at lb/
office, and Walters and.Handley, of Worship-stye
and were singly brought before Mary Bailey,
Edward Stephens, the saddler's boy, who Saw t i
men come up the area steps of the Ambassador,
house at the time of the robbery, with blue LAO
filled, in their possession; but not having .seen. t 0
faces of those men, they could not identify theirs- A:
These four men had been in the habit of assoeial
ing with Langford, at the Victory public-house 1
Bethnal-green, and elsewhere, and they were ir
detained, for Handley said upon oath he knew W 4,
son to be a thief. There were suspicious circu
stances existing' against Bradshaw and Hornsby; 6
Amory, who was dressed in an entire suit of lie
fashionable clothes, arid a new hat, • independent u"
hi-3 being apprehended in company with Watell*
gave Mr. Hoskins reason to hold him in custeafi
by the following answers to the Magistrate's cliff!'
tions :

Mr. HosKtNs—Where do you have /10
regular lodging.
?
Mr. HOSICINS--;Where did you sleep last night
-.-With a girl in North-street, in the City-road,
Mr. HOSKINs—At what number ?—I don't
Mr. HosiaNs—Where the night before ?'
West-street, end on Sunday night the same. .
Mr. HOSICINS—At what number don't k4ov,'
I did not notice it. • • '
Mr. HOSKINS—What are you ?—I have b#
clerk, and am out of employ. or,
tb.
Mr. HosKlNs—Do you choose to give any fury
account of yourself; or the clothes you wear ?--0-(j"
