LAMBETH-STREET.

Smoot Taylor and Was. Eatery, alias Potts, were charged with
being concerned in the perpetration of a burglary and robbery in
the house of Mr. Campion. of Waltham Cross, Herta, on the night
of the Kith of March last. The prisoners were apprehended in
consequence of the statement of James King (a man who was lately
executed at the Old Bailey) that they were concerned in the bur-
glary. It appeared that Emery (whose real name is Po:ts) came
to the shop of Mr. Matthews, a pawnbroker, in Whitecross-street,
on Monday last, to redeem a pair of boots which had been pledged
the day after the robbery, in the name of Ana Potts. On tender.
ins the principal and interest, Mr. Mathews detained him, on
which the prisoner exclaimed, i hope you are not going to betray
me." Air. Campion identified the boots u part of the property
stolen from his house. John Morris, a Lambeth-street dicer,
said, that on searching Taylor he found the duplicates of several
rings pledged in his name. Mr. Campion said, that among the
property stolen were several rings. The prisoners were remanded,
in order to ascertain whether the rings pledged are part of the
stolen property.
