MOST DARING AND TAEACITEROUS ROBBERY.

Robert Hall, a most notorious and abandoned character;
On Sohday the lath instant, called at the house of Mr. Wm.
Chandler, salesman, residing near the Hospital-gate, in West
Smithfield, where his own sister, a young Woman of an excel-
lent Character for honesty, line's as servant, He rang the fell,
and the sister opened the door; us, seeing who it was, she
trertibled, and begged he would be gone, that the family were
but, and the hoped he would hring no disgrace upon h'er.
At this he aPpeared much atieeted, and entreated her in the
Most affectiohate terms to permit an unhappy brother
to have an half hour's conversation with a sister, Who
he some tithe ago had dearly loved, and thought that
nothing upon earth tould harden her so Conch as she
now appeared against him. Overcome by natural feel-
ing, she consented to let him inside the door in the pas--
sage, but declared he Should go no further, as she was sure
be Would contrite to steal something; he sWore he would
not, and prerailed upoh her to let him into the kitchen ;
he then requested a think of her master's beer; she re-
fused, because she thought if he was found there drinking,
she would be blamed, but she gave him Gd. to get a pot of
beer at a puhlic-house ; he went out, and to her astonish-
meta, shortly returned with a pot of beer; she observel,
that she expected he would depart ; but lie replied, that
it was hard his sister would Scorn his company; her
advice might he of service to him ; her heart again melt-
ed, and she allowed hint to come into the kitchen: In a
Minute afterwards the street door hell rung, tint tie would
not permit her to go up, ;red at this moment threw off the
mask ; he plainly t nil her it Was a plan to rub the house;
if she went up she would he murdered ; the *creamed
out loud, do Which he uttered a tremendous oath that anti.*
Conduct would cost her her life; she wet from fear mini-
pelled to be silent for a few minutes, when he started up,
saying, " Every thing was now gone ; he was there, but
he cared not for her;' he Went quietly up stairs, and
Walked off, leaving the street door shut, The Servant on
seeing her matter, told him all these particulars, and the latter
gave information at the Poliati Office. Lavender and other
officers Lave been about the country in search of the
Offender, who could hot be met with until Tuesday night,
when Alfred Fople met with him in that notorious den of in-
famy Pye-street, and he took him into custody after consider-
able resistants, and brought him to Queen-square, where he

cern. He Was committed to 'fothill-fields for further sii4-
rentation, Whenceer more fahs can be elicited.
