HAMMERSMITH.

ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Henry Richard Lea's,
foreman to Mr. 11. Oak, butcher, of High-street, Ken—
sington, was brought up before Mr. Clive, the sitting
magistrate, for final examination, on a charge of having
robbed his employer of a quantity of meat ; and Janice
Garlick, a jobbing butcher, who refused to give his
address, was also charged with receiving the same,
knowing it to be stolen.
Policeman Haswell, T 133, deposed that, on the
mornir.). of Saturday last, about five o'clock, while era
duty in High-street, Kensington, he saw the prisoner
Garlick walking up and down in front of Mr. Oak's
shop. About twenty minutes afterwards, he suddenly
lost sight of Garlick for about two minutes, and then he
saw him come from under Mr. Oak's gateway, which in
two doors distant from his shop, carrying a large bundle,
accompanied by the prisorer Laws. The latter there
went into Mr. Oak's shop, and Garlick went up Church—
street with the, bundle. Witness followed him until he
ca ne to the George public-house, in Church-lane,
when he stopped him, and asked him wee st he had.
in the bundle. The prisoner Garliek said that it
contained some meat, which he had bought at AT e w
gate-market. Witness told him that would not do for
him (witness), and that he mutt go with him to.
the station-house. Witness then &ierikk by, the'
collar, and on the way to the stati,lishoe io be resisted'
violently by twisting himself round to
,e,et from witness.
At the station-house witness found the 'bundle contained-
a leg of mutton, weighing 10y lbs., a saddle of mutton
weighing 124 lbs., and 2 lb. 6 oz. of beef-steak. Witness
then wait to Mr. Oak's shop and saw the prisoner Laws,
and said to him, " I tit ant you about that meat." lie
said, " I don't know anything about it." I then took
him into custody.
Mr. H. Oak deposed that the leg and saddle of muttotr
and the steak were his property, and were safe in his•
shop at ten o'clock on Friday night when he went toe
bed. The prisoner Laws was his foreman, and bad been.
in his service about te o years. Did not know anything
of the prisoner Garlick. Witness had reason to believe
that he had been rubbed to the extent of 1501. in the
above manner.

The prisoner Laws declared that he had never seor
the pritone: before, and that the meat was not Mr. Oak's,
of his taking. The prisoner Garlick simply said that he
was not guilty.
Both prisoners were fully committed to Newgate for
trial.

GREAT PEDESTRIAN MATCH IN AMBRICA, FOX
TWELVE HUNDRED DOLLARS.—The great pedestrians
match betwi en the English and American ruiners, for
1,200 dollars, came oft' on the 19th ult., on the Beacon.
Course, at Hoboken, opposite New York, and attracted an
immense assemblage of spectators. The competitors were
John Barlow and Thos. Greenhalgh, two Englishmen, ne•
tives of Lancashire; Thomas M'Cabe, an Irishman; John
Steeprock, an Indian; John Underhill and Thomas Jack-
son, Americans; John Gildersleeve and Joseph Smith, of
New York ; and J. I'. Taylor, of Connecticut. The
distance to be performed was ten miles, over ground
extremely heavy, from the rain of the previous ever.
ing. The betting was decidedly in favour of Bar--
low and Greenhalgh, who had obtained censiderabk,
reputation in this country as pedestrians, and also.
from their having carried off prizes at a former triat
of speed over the same course. After the arrangement
of the usual preliminaries the start took place, the two
Englishmen leading at a tremendous pace, closely folf-
lowed by the Indian and Gildersleeve. Barlow accom
plished the first mile in the short space of 5 minutes
10 seconds, the Indium being second, and Gildersleeve
and Greenhalgh third and fourth ; behind them, M'Cabe
and Taylor, and the rest " nowhere." Barlow
tained his position in the second mile, which he rats
in 5 minutes 16 seconds, the Indian well up, and Gil-
dersleeve and Greenhalgh as before. Barlow did the
third mile in 5 min. 22 sec., and was now 50 yards ahead
of the Indian, Gildersleeve and Greenhalgh being still
third and fourth. Barlow from this mile kept increasing
the distance between him and the other competitors. He
closed the fourth mile in 5 min. 25 sec. ; fifth mile, 5
min. '2B sec. ; sixth mile, 5 min. 31 sec. ; seventh
5 min. 34 sec. ; eighth mile, 5 min. 36 sec. ; ninth
mile, 5 min. 35 sic. ; and the last mile, 5 min.
25 sec. ; thus accomplishing the ten miles in the un-
pvecedented short time of 54 min. 21 sec. Steeprocke
the Indian, was second ; time 54 min. 53 sec. Green-
Well third ; time, 55 min. 10 see. Gildersleeve fourth ;
time. 55 ruin. 51 sec. M'Cabe fifth ; time, 56 min. 52
see. Taylor sixth ; time, 59 Ilia El- 52 see. In the last
mile, Greenhalgh made a most ch sperete iffort, passed
Gildersleeve, and gained forty seconds on Barlow.
though the latter ran this mile ten seconds quicker
than he did the ninth. Greenhalgh, it is supposed
must have run this mile in about 4 min. 48 sec. Bas.
low beat the Indian exactly 173 ) e rds, tt hile Greenhalgb
was less than ninety yards behind him. It is supposed
that had Greenhalgh made his running in the ninth mile,
instead of waiting for Gildersleeve, he would have bean
the Indian, and thus become entitled to the second prize.
The purse was thus divided :—Barlow, 700 dollars
Steeprock, 250 dollars ; Greenhalgh, 150 dollars ; Gil-
dersleeve, 75 dollars ; and M'Cabe, 25 dollars. Barlow
has since returned to England, leaving Greenhalgh be'
hind to complete some matches he had undertaken.
