QUEEN-SQUARE.

Robert Just, a hackney-coachman, was brought
upon a warrant before Messrs. GREGORIE and
WHITE, on the following charge of felony.

It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner
went to the house of Mr. Johnson, landlord of the
Shakspeare's Head, Eaton-street, Pimlico, and asked
for change for a sovereign. Mr. Johnson complied
with his request, and counted out the change, which
the prisoner pocketed. Mr. Johnson asked for the
sovereign, the prisoner insisted that he put the
sovereign down, and that Mr. Johnson must have
taken it up. On the other hand, the complainant
most solemnly denied having taken up the sovereign,
or even seeing it,

The Magistrates, after some consultation, decided
that it did not amount to a felony.
The prisoner was then discharged.
MARLBOROU OH-STREET.

Yesterday a. well-dressed young fellow, who gave
his name George Fox, was brought from the watch-
house of St. George's parish, Hanover-square, be-
fore Sir G. FARRANT, the sitting Magistrate, charged
with the following daring robbery :
Sarah Bedford, a respectable young female, re-
aiding with her parents in Westminster, stated that
on Sunday evening last, about nine o'clock, she was
returning home from Fulham, where she had been
to visit some friends, in company with her brother
on the outside of one of the Fulham stages. They
were sitting in the back part of the dickey, with
their faces towards the horses, and when they got
to about the middle of Piccadilly, her brother, who

been robbed, and jumping off the coach he pursued
a man whom he seized hold of and gave him into the
custody of a watchman : 'the prisoner was the man
her brother so seized, and the purse produced was
the one which she had lost as she described.
George Bedford, the brother of the last witness,
said that he was sitting by the side of his sister, as
she had described, on the outside of the coach,
when, just as the coach came opposite to Lord
Coventry s house in Piccadilly, he observed the pri-
soner get up on the coach behind and hang on for
some time, by holding with one hand the frame of
the dickey, and then suddenly he jumped down and
ran towards the foot pavement. Witness thinking
that he observed the prisoner, while hanging on be-
hind, fumbling with his sister's dress, he suspected
that the prisoner had been attempting to rob her,

and he asked her if she had lost any thing, and on
her telling him that she had lost her • purse, he
jumped down from the coach and ran after the pri-
soner, whom he seized and gave into the custody
of a watchman; but before the watchman came
up, witness saw* the prisoner fling the purse now
produced from his hand over the iron railing, into
that part of the Green-park which is enclosed as
Lord Coventry's garden, and hearing the jingle of
the money when the purse fell, witness marked in
his mind the spot, and after lodging the prisoner in
the watch-house, the watchman and himself went
back to the garden, and, walking directly to the
spot where he heard the purse fall, they picked it
up there, with all its contents undiminished.
The watchman confirmed this latter part of the
last witness's testimony, as to the finding of the
purse in the garden, and securing the prisoner.—
Committed.

seven volumes of Dowling and Ryland's Reports,
the properly of Mr. Wilks, the bookseller, in
Chancery-lane. After a long investigation he was
remanded.
