"Boasmatte..—lfilderick Greenslade and Awes Davis were brought
up ink evetady .eit Edward Edgson, the constable, of Hammer-
chfrged with committing a daring burglary in the town of
Ihmmersmith, on Monday morning, at three o'clock. It appeared
O'nnt the evident* of William Somershill, servant to a butcher at
Vernmeramith, that at three o'clock, as he was leaving his muter'',
house toga to market, be saw the two prisoners at the coffee bonne
opposite, and one of them was endeavouring to force open the door
with a crow-bar. They were alarmed. and walked up the town.
The witness watched thetn, and saw them' go en the *op of Mr.
Scott, a tailor, which they broke open with the same bar, or jensety;
and one of them entered ; Somershill, with the assistance of his fel-
'lnv-servant, pre an alarm, and the prisoners ran off; they were,
boitever, foilovied and seetned, and were seen to throw away the
jemmy, a dark hnthorn, a, phosphorus box and matches, and two
pieces of wax taper, which were now produced.—They, of course,
"triad their innocence, bat were remanded foe a future examina-
dlea.—Mr. Roberts, the vestry clerk of Hammersmith, stated that
sif late the hamlet had been much infested with thieves, and that
there were generally three robberies a week committed.
Daley, a toll.taket 'at the Kensington-gate, appeared upon sum-
mons to answer the complaint of s Mr. Brown.
The complaidant in going to the HounslowHeath Review last
Wednesday, received a ticket at the Chelsea-gate, which he was
told cleared all the gates in the neighbourhood, except the Ham-
Mersmith-gate. When he returned from Hounslow in the evening,
he was stopped at the Ken•ington-gate by the defendant demand-
ing toll: Complainant told him he had a ticket, and called out the
number of that ticket. " Oh! that won't do for me !" said the de-
fendant, "nO ticket will pass this gate." Seeing bins thus peremp-
tory, complainant thought it would be useless to produce the ticket,
and therefore he paid the toll and drove on; but havidg subse-
quently discovered that he was imposed upon, be instituted the pre-
lent proceeding.
Mr. Williams, the defendant's solicitor, contended, that as the
ticket was not produced, the defendant was justified in taking toll.
Sir It. Baum. however. was of opinion, that the defendant
having declared " no ticket would pas, " was a sufficient excuse for
its non-production,—Defendant was filed 20s. and costs.

r stacrwasrso..nrwaugn Smith was committed to take his trial for
picking the pocket of a Gentleman unknown, of a pocket handker-
chief, on Saturday night, under the Pisan, Covent-garden. The
mention of this cite affords us an opportunity of again alluding to
the increasing depredations of this class of marauders. We noticed
their barefaced cootlict at the three Reviews last week, when se-
veral hundred pounds worth of property was stolen with impunity.
At Lord Bpron's funeral, yesterday, the same unchecked career
was paroled, and several gentlemen lost their watches, pocket-
books, and handkerchiefs. In Dean-street, Sobo, Mr. Greenhali,
who just stepped to his door as the procession was passing, was
robbed of ION. Another tradesman, at Charing-cross, was robbed
of 151. Others lost their watches, and so on.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Pilliess Ellement, a coachman in the service of Mr. How, stable-
keeper, in the Haymarket, was brought to this Office upon a war-
rant charging him with an assault upon Schofield, one of the Of-
ficers of this establishment.
Schofield, it appeared, did not so much lay his complaint for as.
sank, but he was anxious to lay the defeatism's croaky to his horses
beim the Magistrate. He that proceeded to detail to his Wor-
kh
how be-was on duty on Friday afternoon last, at the Opera
• - , when he saw Madame Pasta's hired heron and carriage,
p the dekneant, standing at the door. The horses were
perfectly still, and the prisoner, without any cause what-
seer, commenced flogging them in the most unmerciful manner,
cutting them about the eyes, ears, and most tender part of the flank,
in the mast cruel way ever witnessed, until at length the offlorie
was in such agoop that he endeavoured to lie down, and went on
his knees to avoid the blows, but the prisoner held him up by the
reins, still liaising at him with all his force.. In vain he was remon-
strated with ; the defendant shook his fist in every cue's face, and
eltilasi the officer a Martinite.—The footboy, who shook Lie an
Niggled. confirmed Schofield's statement.
defendant's employer appeared to aggravate the offence, and
said that the treatment the horse receivedwas usual. He was there-
fore lined X 5.
