UNION HALL.

Yesterday a toung man, named Thomas NW, was brolight up for
Anal examination, charged with robbing a Gentleman named Luck,
of 58/. There was another person concerned in the robbery, who
is not yet in custody.
The complainant, it appeared, had been drinking In several pub-
lic-houses on the night of the 7th ult. in his way home to Camber-
wel, in one of which he met the prisoner, who claimed an ac-
quaintance with him, and offered his services to escort him home,
which were accepted, and they both set out together. In the way,
prisoner proposed to call upon a friend, who accompanied them,
and the three proceeded onwards until they arrived at another
public-house, called the Windsor Castle. Into this house Mr.
Luck bad occasion to go, leaving the prisoner and his companion
outside, when he joined them they walked towards Newington-
causeway, and as their arrival at an unfrequented part of the road,
one of the men slapped his hand over the complainant's mouth to
prevent him from calling out, while the other struck him violent
blow that caused insensibility, and while in this state he was rub-
bed of 581. in Bank of Ea:gland and country notes. The thieves
escaped, and a day or two afterwards the prisoner, hating got
drunk at a public•house, became quarrelsome, in fact outrageous,
and in the midst of his passion ai:sl phrenzy displayed a handful of
Bank Notes, offering to light any one in the room for all that
he then ethibited. Such a command of money attracted the notice
of the landlord, who took possession of it until the drunken man's
return to reason. In the interval information was given at this
office, when an officer, who was on the look-out for the thieves, upon
seeing the note, identified them as the property of Mr. Luck. Mr.
Luck attended, and identified the prisoner as one of the men by
whom he had been robbed.

..—A-ilentiraanfronsTMibridge proved that the notes now pro-
4uced were paid by him to %lr. Luck. The prLsoner was committed.

WORSHIP-STREET.

Charles Hddssrs►th, the youth who last week underwent an ex-
amination on several chkrges of swindling, was again brought up
yesterday. The number of applicants on this occasion was treble
those of the preceding dn. and the office was so excessively crowded
and heated that Mr. Twvroan caused all the windows and doors of
it to be placed wide open. The prisoner was not so genteelly dres-
sed as on the previous occasion, and although affecting considerable
indifference, he appeared to be suffering great anxiety.
Mr. Stoitser, the boot and shoemaker, repeatetthis evidence sod
Mr. Leah, watchmaker, in nath-street, City-road, identified the
watch which he had lost.
Several keepers of lodging-houses gave testimony as to the pri-
soner having engaged lodgings at their houses, and only accepted
them two or three days, during which time several tradespeople
used to bring almost every description of goods, and on the prisoner
obtaining secure possession of them, be quickly decamped. His
' person was must positively sworn to byall these individuals.
