MARY-LA BONNE.

Grove Road, Lisson-green, was thrown into grant alarm by
cries of " Murder" and female shrieks, about eleven o'clock 02
Tuesday night. A female servant, it seems, who had the cite
of a house, had taken another young woman to lodge with her,
and they had invited four tsnux to come at different times: two
came early; but, contrary to the Ladies' expectation, they re-
mained so long that the other two swains arrived, who hearing
the male voices, scaled a garden wall, and. burst in upon the
party. A furious battle ensued, the females fell into fits, and
the neighbours assembled, broke open the doors, and sent all the
gallants to the watch-house.—The Magistrate discharged all the
parties, with an admonition.
UNION-HALL.

ROIBURY AT MR. BEYSLEY'S, PRlNTlM—YeStettlaf• netninA
and Cahttac, the bookseller, residing in Blackman-street, in the
Borough, were brought up for a final examination, the former.
charged with having committed a robbery, and the latter w.th
having knowingly purchased the stolen property. The partieu
tars of this case were stated in our Paper of yesterday.—ln ad-
dition to the former evidence, a dictionary c tiled " Walker's
Abridgement" was produced, which was'fouud in Cahuac's shop.
—Mr.,l3ensley stated, that to the best of his belief, the copy of
the dictionary was his property, and had been stolen from his
premises.
Clapperton, warehouseman to Mr. Bentley, said that about
fourteen months since several copies of the above work were
printed by Mr. Bentley, and on that occasion, he (witness) de-
posited two remaining copies in a particular place on the pre-
mises; however, on examining that place yesterday, he found
one of the copies had been taken away, and he had no doubt
the copy now produced was the same that had disappeared.
The Magistrate was satisfied with the evi&nce adduced againq
the prisoners, and fully committed then both for trial. Ca'tuic
will, of course, be allowed to hail.

Yesterday two young men, of respectable appearance, named
Henry Cockerel and .Tames Thomas, together with two wuinen
with whom they cohabited, were brought before L. B. Aucs,
Esq. the two former priconers charged with having cmitritted an
extensive robbery in the house of William Henry Booth, Esq. a
barrister, residing at No. 6, Lincoln's Inn New-square, an .t the
two latter with having pledged the property, knowing it to have
beets stolen.

Jushen, a constable, of Newington, stated, that cn the 6th of
the present month he met Cockerell with a box on his shoulder,
and accompanied by the two female prisoners, near the Coburg
Theatre. He suspected them of roguery, and made hotuiries.
Cockerell, in reply to the questions put to him, that
the box he was carrying Belonged to himself, and lint he was
removing it from the Temple, where he said he had livid, to
his present abode in Oakley-street. This account was scum
found to be a fabrication, and the constable conveyed them uu
the watch-house, where.he found a great number of duplisates
upon searching the box. hi the course of the same afternoon a
butcher, named Thompson, informed witness that a young mai
bad left a desk at his house under rather suspicious Circum-
stances. The witness went to the house, and opened the desk,
with a key attached to a bunch, which he had previously takes
from Cockerell. In the desk be found some plate, and two
pocket-books, containing duplicates for various articles of jewel=
lery of considerable value. The same night the prisoner Therms
called at the butcher's for the desk, where he was apprehended;
and subsequently it was ascertained that the greater part of the
jewellery pledged was stolen from Mr. Booth.
A number of Pawnbrokers attended, and produced ankles
that had been pledged at their shops by-Cockerell, and one of
the females named Moor. Amongst which Air. Booth identi'
Bed a gold watch, a musical seal, and several gold *rings.
The two male prisoners and Aim Moor wera committed foe
