BOW-STREET.

On Saturday William Joseph Barnes and Cathe-
rine. his wife were brought before Mr. HALLS,
charged with having robbed their master, Thomas
Hyde Villiers, Etch M.P., nephew of Lord Car-
rington, of plate, furniture, and other property, to
a considerable amount.
Mr. Villiers, having been sworn, stated that he
resided at No. 70, Great Ryder-street, St. James's,
and that the prisoners, who were husband and wife,
had lived in his service between four and five years.
He had placed confidence in both, and until the pre-
sent transaction had no reason to doubt the inte-
grity of either. The male prisoner had acted as his
valet, and kept his accounts; and the female pri-
soner had lived with him in the capacity of house-
keeper. During the summer, he (Mr. Villiers) was
in the country, and left the prisoners in charge of
his establirhment. He arrived in town on the 25 h
of October, and found that a great many of his
books had disappeared from his library, and also
that not oily plate, linen, and wearing apparel were
missing, but that several articles of furniture had
al,io disappeared. He immediately suspected the
prisoners, and mentioned his suspicions to them, but
they denied being at all concerned in the robbery.
On the same evening, however, they both abscond-
ed, and he heard no more of them until lie was told
they were in custody.
Salmon, one of the principal officers, deposed,
that the prisoners were apprehended by him on the
4th inst. He found the female prisoner at the house
of a Mrs. Burgess, at Chatham, and asked her

•
where the duplicates of her master's property were,'
She replied, that she had thrown them down
privy, is order to prevent detection. Haviikl,„-
her secured, he proceeded to a place called
Hood's farm, at zshortstead, about four miles fro
Chatham, where he understood the male prisoerC
would be found. The prisoner, however, baysll
received intimation that he was looked for, once
himself in an adjoining wood, where, after great 411*
ficulty, he (Salmon) discovered him, and took b 1
into custody. On arriving in town with both Prt.
soners, he proceeded to the prisoners' late lodginej
in Wine-office-court, Fleet-street, and there foil°,
in a small hand-basket, 47 pawnbrokers' duplican
fur various articles of plate, jewellery, &e.; and 61,6-,
one for a time-piece, which had been pledged at IP
shop of Messrs. Ashman and Son's, pawnbrokeil'
Long-acre.
Mr. Ashman, the senior partner, produced a Tur
kish smoking pipe, some articles of plate, and a time'
piece, which had been pledged by the male prisoner,
Mr. Villiers identified these articles in partieni:l
and also the greater part of the property pro
by the former witness. He, however, said that tilt
articles produced formed a very inconsiderable Per
tion of the prerty he had lost.
The male piisoner, who appeared to be dres.,
fully agitated during the examination, and leant ~
head upon the shoulder of his wife, crying bittern''
held up his hands and besought mercy of the prci‘r
cutor. His example was followed by his wife.
Mr. Villiers appeared undetermined as to the eti
swer he should give them, and was evidently nnig
affected by the appeal to his compassion.
Mr. HALLS, however, told Mr. Villiers that !ill
prosecution had now become a public proceed
s°"
that private feeling could not impede the tour„
of justice. The Magistrate then caused the proo
cutor and the other witnesses to be bound over
„o
appear against the male prisoner at the next v•A
Bailey Sessions, and ordered the female prisoner t"
be remanded.

LAMBETH-STREET.
On Saturday Susan Manic, a reckless IWO'"
and most inveterate thief, who has been thel'y
tress, by turns, of some of the most desperate e.al_l;
racters in the metropolis, and who lately cohshi!:
with Latham, who about a fortnight since was edict
cuted for a burglary and robbery in the house of Mt
Newton, applied to the sitting Magistrates, NI•0
WYATT and WALKER, to order the officers t°2l,
IF
store to her several duplicates of which she ",
been deprived on being taken into custody C

jointly with Latham.
She entered the office attired in deep mouring'
and made her application with a hardened effroll'
tery, little in consonance with her external indinr
Lion of grief; but scarcely had she made her APPegt;
ante, when she was recognised by Mr. Wvitilt,
an old visiter, who asked if she was not the fetal
three or four of whose keepers had been hanged,

and others of them capitally convicted.
Lea, the officer—The same, Sir; she still follol
the same course, and since Latham was executel
she has formed a similar connexion with atiollie.,
person, who is now lying in Newgate, awaiting lit
trial for a capital offence.
Mr. WYATT asked how it was that her tike
were detained ?
Lea said that it was by the directions of the Mt
gistrates. He added, that several of the ticke,,
were for articles of jewellery, and they doubtle;
were the fruits of robberies : he had every We

shortly being able to trace out the owners.
gP
Mr. WALKER, having examined the duplksier
ordered that such of them as seemed to be unnece_,,,
nary for the ends of public justice, and which thg'
appeared to be a likelihood of being her OW I#ll_,
perty, be restored to her, at the same time directiPow
that the others should remain in the bands or 1:
officer for a fortnight longer, for the purpose of :1;0
abling him to make snch inquiries as the °cis'
required.
Mr. WYATT agreed to the propriety of theirlirr
tention, observing that it was by the chance of To
covery of so trifling an article as an ear-ring t
the burglary at Mr. Newton's bad been brot4
home to Latham.

HATTON-GARDEN. 1.1
01.
Edward Duncombe, bookseller, Middle-roWt
born, was charged with having insulted Ms. Oosbrh'i;
straw-bonnet manufacturer, and causing a riot at
house. The charge, it appears, arose out of a tole'
plaint made by several of the inhabitants of Middle
row, that the defendant exhibited indecent publiO:
tions in his showindow, and which had become
great a nuisancep- that respectable females who We',,
in the habit of visiting the shops near the defendaeto
house, were so disgusted that they refused to Psi,
down the row, and the tradesmen were greatly 1,
jured in their business. Mr. Gosbell, renlot
strating with the defendant, was insulted by l'irn'et,
Mr. LAING said that the magistrates were
ceedingly anxious to abate the nuisance, and lsad4P:
plied to the parish officers to prosecute the defendsll4
but they had refused to do so.
The defendant denied that he sold indecent Pub;(
lications ; but the complainant produced two booM,d
the vilest character, and which, the complainant 55:,1;
had been purchased at the defendant's shop, of '
mo .ther
The Magistrate then ordered the defendant (0'44
bail for his appearance at the sessions.
