BOW-STREET.—DAnixo HIGHWAY ROBBERY..--
Yesterday William Keeling was charged with being one
of a gang of. robbers who, on the night of the 2d. inst.,
assaulted Mr. Frederick Henry Dowling, on the highway,
and stole from his person a watch chain, seals; key, &c.
Mr. Dowling is a gentleman usually residing at Sidbury,
in Devonshire. He came to London on business a few
weeks ago, and on Friday, the 2d inst. was walking along
Goswell-street, with a party of ladies, on their way to the
theatre. One of the ladies was walking arm-in-arm with
him, and the other two followed close behind. When
they had rived within a few yards of a place called Bell-
alley, he observed the prisoner standing .by the side oia
post at the end of Bell-alley. Theiwisonei fixed his eye
upon him so steadfastly, that his attention was particularly
attracted by that Circumstance to the general appearance.
of the prisoner's person. On arriving at the entrance of
Bell-alley, the prisoner rushed against him with such
violence that it shook his whole frame, and nearly upset

him ; before he coold recover his equilibrium, the pri-
soner, with his riglo.band, had pounced upon his watch
chain, and seats, and snatched them with such force, that
the chain was detached from the pendant of the watch.—
The prisoner ran off instantly with the seals and chain,
but the watch remained in his fob-pocket. He cried,—
" Stop thief!" and the prisoner ran down Bell-alley.—
On attempting to pursue him, five or six fellows Surroun-
ded Mr. Dowling, and impeded his progress, so that
he was actually compelled to fight his way through.—
He continued the pursuit for some time, and the pri-
soner at last fell over a heap of rubbish, and be (prosecu-
tor) also fell from a similar cause. As soon as he got up,
he observed that the gang of thieves who had previously
attempted to prevent his pursuing the prisoner were fol-
lowing him. He again made pursuit after the prisoner,
who turned up Great Arthur.street, and entered a house.
He followed into the house in less than a minute, and saw
two females leaning over the bannisters of the stairs, who
said that he had no right to enter the house, without a
warrant. A mob of about thirty. persons collected round
the front of the house, and a man entered soon afterwards,
who came out again in company, with the prisoner: He
instantly seized the prisoner by the collar, and said that he
was the man who had robbed him. The mob, chiefly
consisting of men and boys, pushed violently against him ;
trod upon his toes, and jostled him about in such a manner
that they finally rescued the prisoner from him, and he
escaped. He gave a description of the prisoner to Thomp-
son, a constable, and a warrant was issued 'on the same
night for his apprehension, in consequence of learning from
two boys, that the man who had robbed him was com-
monly called " Bill Keeling." Being compelled to return
on urgent business to Devonshire, before the prisoner was
apprehended, he entrusted the warrant with a constable ;
and on arriving again in London on Monday, he went to
Clerienwell Prison, where the prisoner was in custody,
and pointed him out among above forty others, as the man
who had robbed him.

Two boys, in confirmation of the above statement, de-
posed that the prisoner was the man who ran into the
house, pursued by the prosecutor, and was afterwards rescued
from him by the mob.
A blind gentleman informed the Magistrates, that he
was jostled and robbed of his watch, &c. by some thieves,
in the open day, on Sunday last, as he was on his way to
Church, near the same sFot where Mr. Dowling was robbed.
A constable stated to Sir Richard Birnie, that a ye, y de-
sperate gang of organized street thieves existed in that neigh-
bourhood-; and they had been so daring in their lawless
attacks upon .porsons walking in that Vicinity, that eight
robberies had been committed by them within the last ten
days.
Sir R. BIRNIE-We must unkennel the villains.

The prisoner was committed to Newgate.
The owner and driver of the coach No. 662, and Wyley,
a cad, were charged with riotous and disorderly conduct.
Bean, a watchman, stated, that on Monday, about half-
tanred eupa insideiu.
half-
past four, the coach in question drove into Pickett-street,

witness sprung his rattle, and having procured assistance,
took the prisoners into custody. Their companions
escaped. The watchman added, the cads, who were in
the habit of following coaches, were a complete nuisance.
Mr. HALLS said, that it was high time to (leek the
proceedings,of this class of persons, for which purpose lie
should punish the prisoners as far as the law allowed him.

MARYLEBONE.--Blc KM Y. —An old woman, named
Hannah Gates, was charged with bigamy. Thomas
Taylor, a pensioner with 1a wooden leg, appeared as the
prosecutor, and said, that about two years ago he married
the woman at Ealing Church. She then told him that she
was a widow, but he had since discovered that her first
husband, Wm. Gates, was living.
An elderly woman proved that the prisoner was married
to Gates in 1809, at Peterborough, and that she had seen
Gates in London a few months ago.

The prosecutor here said be wished to make it up with
the prisoner; he did not wish to have her imprisoned any
longer.
Mr. GRIFFITH said he would not permit any compro-
mise, and committed the prisoner for trial.

An elderly woman, named Phipps, was summoned by
Mr. W. A. Smith, of Argyll-street, for having detained
201. his property. It appeared that in August last, the
defendant found four 51. Bank of England notes in Bryan-
stone-square, and having advertised them three times with-
out an answer having appeared; converted the money to her
own use. A few days ago Mr. Smith called upon her
for the money; but she having declared that the money
was exhausted, he summoned her before the Magistrate.
Mrs. Phipps admitted having found the money, and
said, that having made every inquiry for the owner, with-
out effect, she thought she had a right to 'convey it to her
Own use.

Mr. HOSKINS said she had no such right. If any pro-
perty was found in the streets, it did not become the pro..
perty of the finder. Whenever the owner claimed the
property it must he given up, after deducting the expellees
that had been incurred.

Mrs. Phipps declared she had not the means of so doing.
Mr. HOSKINS said, if Mr. Smith chose to proceed
another way, it mi,;lit become a very serious matter. She
certainly had no right to the money; it was a mistaken,'
notion, that if no person caerie,forward after an advertise-
ment, the party finding had nil, right over the property.
He would adjourn the case *.o give her an opportunity of
settling the matter..
The Magistrate ordered the prisoner to be remanded, arid
the case to stand over till this day week.
WORSHIP-STREET.—Yesterday Mr. BROUGIITGN
gave his decision at considerable length, on a point reserved
for consideration, as to the right of the trustees e' the me-
tropolitan roads to demand a toll under the general turn-
pike Acts, and not specified in the schedules of 7th Geo.
IV. cap. 142, passed expressly for the regulation of the
metropolitan roads. The question arose on a summons by
Mr. Cobbett, jun. against a collector or'llie Stamford roads,
who had taken a toll of 6d. on a Ira lith four wheels,
and drawn by one horse, being an additional toll of one half,
under the general act 8d Geo. IV., cap. 126, charged
'wank the felloes of the wheels being less than i inches
broad. TNIg

The Magistrate said that the object in making this dis-
tinction in the tolls chargeable on the broad and narrow
wheels was clearly to encourage the use of the former in
preference to the latter, because by the latter the roads were
more liable to be worn and cut up ; and in a subsequent
Act, 4th George IV., it was expressly stated in the sth
Section, that where such additional tolls had been previ-
ously taken by the trustees of roads, they should still con-
tinue to be taken, notwithstanding the passing of the Act.
It was here admitted that the toll had been previously
taken, and the only question that remained was, whether
or not the additional toll under the former Act was super-
seded by the operation of the Metropolitan Act, 7 George
c. 142, which continued the provisions of the general
acts in cases where they .were not expressly varied by that
Act. Referring to the 84th Section, he found it enacted
that the tolls in the schedules appended were to lie taken,
ci subject to the restrictions and exceptions in this Act,
and also in the general turnpike acts." By the Metropolitan
Act the toll in this case would have been bat 4d., for the

it
schedule said nothing with respect to the breadth of
there was, however, under the general acts, an ad"t
toll on narrow wheels, for the reasons he had state"l
that regulation was to be considered as if re-enacted bl
later Act.

The summons was therefore dismissed.
The room was crowded with parties interested
3ecisiori.

HATTON-GARDEN.— George Wallington, A r.:l
man, who lives at Somers-town, was yesterday brougll
tinder a warrant, before Mr. Sergeant Szntort, ch
William Thomp son, brush-manufacturer, New-toad, ur.m.
inn-lane, with the embezzlement of monies to a con"
able amount. 00'3r.
The prisoner who is about 22 years of age, and 0 of •
ried, was in the service of Mr. Thompson about five yep
ago, and conducted himself with unimpeachable ;all!
until he voluntarily withdrew and entered the en' `tlili
Day and Martin, at their establishment in Holborn. 401
left this also with a good character, but was unsuca
in his endeavours to procure a permanent situatio it,
was thereby reduced to the must distressing privationog?
such a time, and, without any resource, or even Prietail,
before him, lie addressed a letter to Mr. Thompson, ';l5 Por-
ing his sufferings, and soliciting to be reinstated in h'edto
mer employment. Mr. Thompson humanely atter' ,oie
his solicitations, and generously restored him some tlet,ive
the month of August last, to collect his debts (nil rofric-
orders, at a salary of 1001. per annum. No boe'sv the
counts were kept,between them, except a docket ,ber
prisoner of what sums. he received, and a ledger 11' :fail'
secutor, wherein were posted the receipts of the day'l.e, 0
Neither were those dockets compared with the entrbor
the ledger since. August. • They were, however, for
come to a settlement yesterday, and the prisoner Pr°ted
to do so satisfactorily, but since Saturday he negje;:thdr3l.
