UNION-HALL.-(THIS DAY.

William Young and Thomas Simms were charged before
Mr. Traill with the following highway robbery:—
Thomas Luffery, a mechanic, stated that on Saturday
night he was in the George public-house, Walworth, and
left it at twelve o'clock, to see his master home to rather
an unfrequented street near Lock's-fields. On his re-
turn he was met by the two prisoners, who entered into
conversation with him, and when they arrived at a spot
near a garden, they each seized him by the arms, and
dragged him into the garden. He called out, but they
threatened him, and proceeded to tear open his coat,
and from his waistcoat pocket they took ss. in silver, all
the money he had at the time. The prisoners were then
in the act of going away, when he gave the alarm, and
they were both taken into custody. He added, that pre-
viously to leaving the George, he saw the prisoners
drinking in the tap-room of that public-house, and they
must have followed him out and dogged him all the way
until he left his master.—They were remanded.
