G Liana t L.—Saturday, R. Cochran, C. Atkinson, and W. ack,
were re-examined, charged with a very extensive robbery on
Mr. Bache, a canal carrier. The circumstances that came out
were as follow :—Cochran was guard of one of the waggons
which carries from the Paddington Wharfs to London. Atkinson
was the driver of the waggon, and Cock was a porter employed
on the premises. On the 21st of December, two packages, Nos.
nine and ten, were received at the warehouse at Manchester,
from R. Ainsworth and Co. bleachers, at Manchester, addressed
• his order,London. They were carried by the canal, and arrived
at the warehouse at Paddington, .where they were kept till the
28th, when they were loaded for Moor-lane, and received there
the same day. Turner's order for delivery came from Messrs.
Lawrence, Jolland, and Co. on the 21st of January, but the
package, No. 10, could not be found. Cochran and Atkinson
had at all times access to the warehouses, and had loaded a
quantity of goods from them, a few days before the package was
missed. Cock was in the habit of locking the rooms at night.—
On the 24th of January, information was received at the house
of Messrs. Lawrence, that there were muslin; selling at a private
house in Tenter-street, Moorfields ; and on the 28th, Mr. Horne,
who is in the employment of the consignees, went thither and
found about twenty pieces. He cut off patterns, which he found
to correspond with the goods contained in the package, No. nine.
Two police officers then took possession of the goods ; and the
woman of the house, Susannah Smith, was taken iino custody ;
and upon her information the three prisoners were apprehended.
Mrs. Smith, being admitted as King's evidence, stated, that her
husband's brother received the parcel from Cochran and Atkin-
son. It was brought by them in a waggon to a house in Wil-
mot-street, Brunswick-square, about the 9th of January. Her
husband's brother slept the previous night in Moodields, and
early in the morning Cochran called him up. After the parcel
was delivered in Wilmot-street, it was taken in a chariot to
Tenter-street, where it was opened, and proved to contain mus-
lin,. Cochran wanted her to give .e 73 for it ; but told her if
Cock and Atkinson came with him, to say that no more than
£4O were to be given, and she was to keep the residue for him.
Cock afterwards came to her to know how much money she had
given, having suspected Cochran of foul play. Atkinson also
came to the house, but Cochran and his wife received all the
money. Mr. Hostari, jun. for the prosecution, submitted that
there was sufficient evidence to justify the committal of the three
priioners upon the present charge. The Solicitors for the pri-
soners admitted it, and the prisoners were fully committed.
Barron-GA aors.—E. Oleinock,T.Knight, and T. Lloyd, journey-
men to Mr. Howe, a baker, in Pickett-street, were charged with
obstructing and violently assaulting Biers, Thisaelton, and Ed-
wards, belonging to this Office, who, in consequence of informa-
tion, went to search the premises for deleterious articles, when
they were knocked down by the defendants, and Oldstock at-
tempted to strangle Biers, and on Edwards attempting to rescue
him, he seized a large poker, and threatened to destroy the offi-
cers, but was disarmed; at length they were overpowered, and
brought to this Office, when they were committed, and ordered
to give 24 hours notice of bail.

W. 'fh9nipson, detected in attempting to pick pockets, near
the House of Lords, when the King was going to open Par-
liament, was committed to the House of Correction fur three
months.
