QUEEN-SQUARE.-(THIS DAY.)
Thomas Mott, a private in the Coldstream Guards, was
placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine, charged with the fol-
lowing impudent robbery:—

Mrs. Weeks, landlady of the King's Head, Orchard-street,
said the prisoner was in her house last night about nine
o'clock. Having had occasion to go to the front door, she
heard a noise at the counter, and saw the soldier in the act of
drawing his hand from the direction of the till. She accused
him with robbing her, but he denied the charge. He had
is. sd. in his hand. She could positively swear to a half-
.penny, which was marked in a peculiar manner, and which
she saw in the till a short time before the robbery.
A young man who was sitting near the door of the tap-
room at the time of the occurrence, deposed to seeing the
soldier take the money from the till.
The prisoner solemnly declared that the money was his;
that he was drunk at the time; and when in that state that
he was in the habit of carrying the money which he had
about with him in his hand. He fell by accident against the
till.—He was fully committed for trial.
