Upon being further questioned, she admitted having robbed her
former mistress of 14s. from a desk, and of some coins; and a
young lady in her house of &pocket-book and two silver thimbles.
She said that she was taught to ready and knew that there was a sin iu
robbing others of their property ; but that she was persuaded to
do it by the boy mentioned, whose christieu name is Henry, but
whose sirname she does not know. She described him as a stout,
fat, and fair boy, a little taller than herself, about 16 or 17 years
old ; he resides in Steven-street.

The complainant stated that when she missed the ring, and
was informed of the circumstances by the girl on Monday last,
she immediately went to Mr. Fairhaufs shop and asked for the
ring, but the prisoner and Mr. Fairham denied any know-
ledge of the matter, and chewed her all the rings in the shop.
She then told them she would go and bring the the girl alone with
her; she accordingly went, but upon her return the prisoner was
not in the shop, his master and a little boy being only in it. The
girl said that neither of them was the person that bought the ring.

Mr. ii.Awi.ll43ox said, that from the circumstantial manner
in which she delivered her evidence, he had no doubt of the pri-
soner's guilt ; but that on the testimony of so bad a girl, he
could not legally order him to find bail, but added, that if the
boy could be got, and if he threw any light upon the subject, be
should be committed.-.-. Discharged.

HATTON-GARDEN.—(Tats DAY.)
Two respectably-dressed persons, named Elizabeth Jones and
James Scuda►nore, were charged on suspicion of stealing 161.
It appeared in evidence that a young man, named Sears, ,re-
cently arrived from France, and who knew both the prisoners,
had, in the course of yesterday afternoon, met with a few country
friends, with whom he had been sacrificing pretty freely to the
jolly god. As the evening advanced he insisted on their accom-
panying him to another shop in Long-lane, and on the road met
the two prisoners at the bar. He would insist on Mrs. Jones taking
a glass and an oyster with him, which she reluctantly consented
to after repeated persuasion, but staid only n short time.—
During the whole of the evening Sears had been boasting of his
property, and exposing some bank-notes, which to the amount of
16/. he missed shortly after leaving the oyster-room. The only
ground of suspicion uppearetl to be the refusal of the prisoners to
stay in his company, and take more liquors.

Two of his Own friends, in vain endeavoured to prevent the
prisoners being taken into custody, and now came forward to
state that the notes were in the prosecutor's possession long after
the departure of Mrs. Jones and Scudamore.—Charge dismissed.

UNION-HALL-(.l'lm DAY)

A man named William Brown, 'dressed in deep black, and of
respectable appearance, was 'nought up to this office on a charge
of assault, with intent to commit an offence of an abominable na-
ture on the person of John Jones, a carpenter, residing in the
Walworth-road.

From the evidence of the complainant it appeared, that he
went into the Stags public-house on the previous evening, about
seven o'clock, and saw the prisoner there, in company with a very
_young man. On his entrance, the prisoner, whom be had some
slight knowledge of, living opposite to him, addressed him, saying,
" How do you do, Mr. Jones ? I have a few little jobs
for you at home ; come and sit down, and take a
little gin and water with me." Complainant availed himself of
the invitation and sat down, when the prisoner advised his young
companion to withdraw, which hint was complied with, leaving
the prisoner and complainant alone in the room, when the former
proposed to take the latter home, in order to show him the jobs
he wanted to have done. Jones accordingly accompanied hint to
his lodgings, and on their arrival the prisoner directed him to sit
down on a sofa which was in the room. Jones took his seat,and
had not been long there before the prisoner made use of
an expression, and proceeded to acts of the most gross
indecency which are not fit to meet the public eye. The com-
plainant, highly indignant at such horrible conduct, immediately
seized hold of the fellow, and called out for,the watch. A young
man who happened to be passing, hearing the cries, went in and
saw the parties struggling with each other. Mr. Jones charging
the prisoner with making a most indecent attack on his person.
The prisoner was forthwith conveyed to the watchhouse, when the
circumstance of the prisoner's disgusting conduct was related.
The MAGISTRATZ having heard the fiwts of the alleged charge,
asked the prisoner what he had to say in his defence?
The prisoner replied that the charge was made for the purpose
of extorting money, and referred to the young man, whose name
is Fitzpatrick, and who was in company with him before the
entrance of the former into the public house.
Macits,ras.Tx.—Who is this young man?
Vrisoner.—He has been placed under my tuition by his parents,
who are highly respectable, and he is aware that I am incapable
of committing such an offence as that imputed to me.
Mr. CALDWELL.-The facts have been satisfaciorily proved
against you, and I shall call upon you for bail. What are you,
said the Magistrate.—" I have a tolerable independence at present,
but have great expectations of a considerable addition to my
property."

- Mr. CALDW ILL.—This is a most disgusting charge alleged
against you, and I shall call upon you to enter into your own re-
cognizance', in the sum of 200/. and two sureties of 100!. each,
to answer the charge at the Sessions.

Prieoner.—l can't get bail just now, as my friends are out (
town, but I shall have plenty here at the meeting of Parliament.
The prisoner was therefore committed for want of bail.
