The waterman replied yes, if found in a coach, but a
coach and a coach-stand were different things.
The vvaterman was ordered to repay the gentleman 6/.
Among the night charges, a person named Dancer was

and lying in the New-road, at one o'clock yesterday morning.
When the ease was called on, " Dieffenback," said

UNION-HALL.—Yesterday a further investigation
tcok place at this office before M. SWASEY and D. KING,
Vsqrs., into the circumstances attending the burglary and
robbery committed on the evening of Christmas day, in
the house of Mrs. Lewellyn, No. 69, Great Suffolk-street,
Southwark.

Mrs. Fellows, the wife of the chandler in whose shop
Chad was apprehended with the pistol in his possession, on
Tuesday evening, a little after seven o'clock (the time the
complainant's house was broken into), heard the cry of
" Stop thief !" from the direction of Mr. Lewellyn's house.
About the same period, Chad entered the shop, and asked
for a pennyworth of tobacco. While witness's husband,
who was inside the counter, was serving him, he saw the
but-end of a pistol in his hand : her husband was so much
terrified at the sight of the weapon, taking it into his head
that he was going to have it blown off his shoulders, that
he called for her, and she fearlessly approached the young
man, and took it out of his hands. Hearing of the house
just broken open, and suspecting that he was concerned in
it, she questioned him respecting the possession of the
pistol, when be at first said that he had found it in the
street, but immediately afterwards recalled his words, and
declared that his brother had given it to him.
Mr. Su's( BE V-Did he appear confused when he first en-
tered your husband's shop ? Witness—He (lid. I parti-
cularly noticed, when I mentioned that I suspected be had
some hand in the robbery, that he trembled and appeared I
agitated. Soon afterwards, the witness said, Chad de-
clared that lie had been spending the evening with his uncle,
Mr. Pedley, in Surrey-row, accompanied by his brother,
and that he was sent out for some porter and tobacco, and
that he called at her shop for the latter article. She, how-
ever, conceived there was so much suspicion attached to his
conduct, that she sent for a constable, and gave him into
custody. In justice to the accused, she should state, that
he did not hesitate in giving his uncle's name and address.
Sharp, the constable, into whose charge the prisoner was
given, produced three skeleton keys, which he described
were picked up close to the shop of the last witness. It
was ascertained, that the prisoner Tron, in his attempt to
escape from Mr. Lcwellyn's premises, ran past the shop in
question ; therefore, there was a probability that he might
have dropped the keys in question in his career. Sharp
added, that on examining Chad, he found the pistol un-
loaded, together with a small scent-bottle and a penknife.—
The accused gave the same account to the constable rela•
tive to the pistol that he had previously given to Mrs. Fel-
lows on the subject.
A Mr. Emery, who accompanied the complainant home
on the night in question, stated that he distinctly saw Tron
and another man clambering over the wall of his friend's
house on the night mentioned about seven o'clock.
Mr. Swa BEI- observed, that in doubtful cases such as this
certainly was, Magistrates, by a recent act, were empowered
to hear the evidence on the behalf as well as against the
accused. The accused was therefore at liberty to call whom
he pleased.
James Pedley, Chard's uncle, was then called. On Tues-
day evening lie invited his two nephews to spend the even-
ing with him in Surrey-row. They came a little before
seven o'clock, and he sent out Thomas Chad for a pot of
porter and some tobacco, desiring bins to call at Fellows's
shop for the latter article. Being absent rather longer than
he should have been, witness, accompanied by his other
nephew, went in quest of Thomas, and on the way heard
of a robbery, and that the men were apprehended. Con-
vinced, on bearing this intelligence, that his nephew had
followed the parties to the watch-house, like many other
) proceeded there, and was thun-
derstruck that his nephew was taken into custody
no ung people,

been implicated in the offence.
Mr. SwASEY—Were you aware that your nephew had
a pistol in his possession when he called at your house ?
The witness answered in the negative.
The brother of the accused was then called, and proceed-
ed to detail circumstances fully confirmatory of the state-
ment previously given by his uncle : in addition to which,
he said, that on meeting his brother on the morning in
question he gave him the pistol to carry, as it was rather
too large for his (witness's) pocket. This witness describ-
ed where the pistol was purchased, and said that he was in
the habit of carrying it about in his pocket unloaded, as he
was partial to fire-arms.
The whole evidence being gone through, the magistrates
fully committed Tron, and discharged Thomas Chad.
