We stated yesterday the circumstances of a robbery committed
on a young Lady, named Mason, residing in George-street, Hano-
ver-square, whereby she lost 1001. in Bank of England notes, and
that a man and his wife, who had been employed as charwoman in
the house, were in custody on suspicion of having been concerned in
the robbery. In accounting for the assortment of fine dresses die.
which the prisoners bad lately purchased, they said that the money,
with whith they bad made those purchases, had been given to them
by a relation, residing at Clapham, and in consequence, Goddard,
an officer, proceeded to that place, and learned from the relation al-
luded to, that she had given no money to the prisoners, nor bad she.
seen them for same time. Goddard and Ballard neat went to the
lodgings of the prisoners a second time in Monmouth street, and
while there making further search and inquiry, a respectable looking
female, who gave her name &dwell, residiug at Hampstead-bill,
entered, and inquired for the prisoners, who bad, she said, appointed
to meet her that day, two hours before, at a house in Tottenham-
court-road, and that their non-appearance surprised her, as they bad
invited her to go with them on a " jollification" party fur the day.
The officers then told her that the prisoners would go oa no" jolli-
fication" party for a little time, as they were In custody on a charge
of robbery. (s hearing this, Mrs. &dwell at once told the officers
that she was surprised at the quantity of money the prisoners
!Lid somehow or other lately got Into their possession; that
they had been both at her house the night before in a state of
into:leafiest,, and had left in fier care a large suns of money, which
