UNION-HALL.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY NEAR THE VICTORIA
MEATRE.—Two powerful-looking young fellows,
named Charles Byford and George Williams, alias
Luzion, were brought before Mr. Traill, charged with
robbing Mr. Charles Powerie, a grocer and cheese-
monger, of Camberwell, of a knife and comb.
Prosecutor stated that about 11 o'clock last night
he wa► passing the Victoria Theatre, in the Water-
loo-road, and when near the Victoria Tavern he was
accosted by Byford, who asked him whether his
name was Jones. He replied in the affirmative,
thinking that it was merely a lark, when, to his
surprise, Byford seized his hands, while Wil-
liams put his hand in his left-hand pocket, which
fortunately contained only his comb and knife.
They then wanted him to enter the pulslic-
house and partake of a pot of beer, which
he declined. They then attempted to have
a dip in his other pockets, when he broke away from
them and went in search of a policeman. He met 140
L in Webber•street, to whom he related the circum-
stances ; they then returned to the public-house,
when he gave the prisoners into custody. He in-
formed the magistrates that if they had succeeded in
emptying his right hand pocket, they would have
had a good haul, as be had twenty sovereigns depo-
sited there.

Byford denied ever seeing the prosecutor before.
Williams said that he was in the public-house, wait-
ing for a gentleman, when the policeman entered and
took him into custody.
Mr. Powerie said that the latter prisoner was the
man that put his hand in his pocket, and Byford held
his hands. He was quite certain they were the men.
Mr. TRAIL asked whether the prisoners were known:?
—Coombs, 94 L, said that Byford was convicted at
this court on the 21st of August last, for picking
pockets at Camberwell fair. Williams, whose real
name was Boatwright, he knew to be an associate
with thieves of the worst d-oscription.
Mr. TRAILL inquired whether there was any per-
son who saw the prisoners surround the prosecutor ?
Mr. Powerie said that two lads witnessed the whole
of the transaction. They promised to attend the
court this morninaper.,
Mr. TRAILL said that he believed Williams had
been convicted before for a similar affair. He re-
quested the officer to institute inquiries respecting
him. For that purpose, and the production of wit-
nesses, he should remand the prisoners until to-
morrow (this day).—They were accordingly remanded.
Thomas Davis was charged before Mr. Traill with
stealing a purse, containing money, the property of Mrs.
Thompson, during the fire at the terminus of the South-
Eastern Railway. _ _

The complainant stated, that having occasion to pass
