ROBBER Y.—A CURIOUS Cast..--Jogn Ward,
who appears to be the favoured friend of a MrS.
Skelton, a brothel-keeper, was charged with va-•
lions acts of felony. It appeared that this Ward,
in company with Mrs. Skelton, went into different
houses of ill-fame, against which, it Would seem,
they entertained some professional jealousy, and
wig' a • sharp instrument cut up the beds antis
bed furniture in such a manner as to render them
quite useless. The case had been up at different
offices, but the -Magistrat-es, as the Solicitor of
the defendant stated,
_refused to commit them,
not considering that the charge of felony was
made out. Mr. FARRANT, the Magistrate, -being
of a different opinion, the prisoner Ward was-
committed to take his trial at.the present Old Bai-
ley Sessions for felony.
