OLD BAILEY, Sam 22.

OLD COURT.

(Before Mr. Justice UTTLNDALIt and Mr. Justice GAsztAy.

Robert King and John Robinson were indicted for as-
saulting on the King's highway, on the 14th of July last,
Lewis Myerson, and taking from his person three half-
crown S.

Mr. ANDREWS was for the prosecution, who considered
this a case of a most serious nature, and deserving the
Jury's hest attention.
Lewis Myerson despoiled, that he was the beadle of the
Episcopal Chapel and constable of the parish of Bethnal-
Green; was well known in that character in the parish for
the last eleven years; on the 14. th July was going to
Whitechapel market, and had occasion to go up a place
called Fleet-street-hill ; saw a number of persons there
gambling in different ways ; did not speak to them ; after
passing them, heard a voice saying there goes the beadle,
and observeda shoWer of stones thrown at hint ; turned
round and saw Robinson actively throwing stones; after
standing a little,- six persons came from the mob, among
them were Robinson and King; King said, " they say
that you have lagged some of our chaps," meaning
that witness had got some of their acquaintances
transported. King put his face close to witness,'and said,
" have you got any money for us ?" witness replied, not
for you." Robinson was close by at this time. King
then paid, we shall soon have all you have got, and imme-
diately knocked witness down with something he had in
his hand. The article was called a dumb bell, made of
lead. The blood flawed copiously from the wound it oc-
casioned, : and the mark of it across his face, he should
carry to his grave. Immediately afterwards, saw King have
his hand in his (witness's) waistcoat pocket, in which there
were three half-crowns, some of which went out of the
pocket directly. A kind of tussle took place between
the two prisoners, and some of the money fell on the
stones. Saw Robinson have some silver in his hand,
but whether it was witness's or not, could not say.
Witness said, what have I done? I have done nothing to,
deserve this punishment. Both prisoners answered, that's
the chap that has lagged some of our coves. They then
went away. Witness knew the other four and should
know. them again, but had not been able to. find them.
Knew the prisoners before as well as witness knew him-
self. Described the prisoners to some persons. King was
taken next day, and believed that Robinson was taken on
the following day. Quite Positive that the prisoners Ivere
the men who had thus ill used witness.

Cross-examined by Mr. BiI.CPERICK—In a few minutes
after having been ill treated, asked a person of the name
of Wood for some vinegar. Pointed out two persons
to Wood, who were running, as the -Pertins who
had ill used him. Was quite certain that he stated
to Wood that he had been robbed. Was not at all
alarmed ; was a little afraid from the shock;' at the
time the robbery was committed, King only committed
the assault; this was between six and seven o'clock; had
hoard the clock strike six some time before; Witness could
not say that he spoke to a person of the name of Robinson,
brother to one of the prisoners, while Wood was gone for
the vinegar ; did not say to some persons that what he had
lost was of no value; 7s. 6d. was of some value to him,
but would rather have lost three times the amount than
be so ill-treated; did mention that three half-crowns had
been taken from him. Norris, a Bow-street officer, was
the 'fi-rst person witness spoke. to, with a view to vet 'assist-
Rove from, after having been attacked.
Norris, a Bow-street- officer, Was on duty on the
day mentioned, to prevent. bullock-hunting; was sent for
hrthe prosecutor, and found him cut in a desperate man-
ner; his eye could scarcely be seen. By the description
given by Myerson, the witness apprehended both the pri-
soners.

Two other officers confirmed the testimony of Norris.
On the part of the prisoner Robinson, Mr. BnonEntes.
called

Jeremiah Wood, a weaver, of Ram-alley; Bethnal-green ;
who deposed, that he procured some vinegar for the pro-
secator on the occasion of his being attacked. Witness
,
Yaw two young men, to whom the prosecutor pointed as
the persons who had just ill-used him. Knows both the
prisoners; neither of them was one of those to whom the
prosecutor pointed. The latter never complained of hav-
ing been robbed ; but merely said he had been ill-used.

Cross-examined by Mr. ANDREWS—Witness is a friend
of Robinson, and was speaking to his brother at the time.
Did not go to Myerson with one of Mc. Robinson's bro-
thers (Thomas), and offer the prosecutor 10/40 throw
out the bill. Went to him before the prisoner had a
second bearing, accompanied by the brother, to tell him
that, under a mistaken notion, he had taken up the wrong
person.
Abraham Robinson, a brother of the prisoner, corrobo-
rated the testimony of Wood.
The prosecutor recalled, stated that three persons, and
two of whom were the witnesses Wood and Robinson,
came to him, and Wood said, " You know the proverb—
if one hand washes the other, both will be clean." He
then said he (Wood) was a friend and acquaintance of the
prisoner, and offered to witness ten sovereigns to keep out
of the way.. _

Upon ihis point, the prosecutor WEI closely examined by
the JUDGE and Mr. BRODERICK, but persisted in his state-
ment.

Several other witnesses stated that the persons who
committed the robbery were not the prisoners at the bar.
Lenoir and other , persons spoke to the good
character of the prisoners. The former witness reluctantly
admitted that King had been before in custody.
Mr. Justice GASELNE summed up, and-the Jury, aftei
retiring for about 20 minutes, found both prisoners
This trial lasted nearly six hours.
