UNION-HALL

• Sop* Rhodes, an elderly woman, with a bloated countermine,
-who his been often at this office for disorderly cooduet, asd
se
frequently eonunkted to Brixton, was yesterday brought befog
Mr. Carouses on a more serious charge—vis. fur seethes a ohs
watch fame- an old nun named Hall, under the following circus-
stances.—The prosecutor, it appeared, had ban venal the
evening with a party of friends, and was somewhat elated, bet
not intoxicated, and on his way home was accosted by the pn-
loner, near the Obelisk, at the Circus Toll-gate. She knimmult4
hint fur liquor, which be declined giving. She then took bulrush
from his fob, as abe thought unobserved, for he did not accost her
of the robbery until they reached the watchhovse, being arPrelu,'
sipe that she might escape. They went chatting together weans
the watchhouae, the prosecutor having to go its that direction hew'.
and the first watchman he saw, gave her into his custody. On
searching her pockets, however, the watch was not fogad. fbe
prosecutor then suggested that a light should be taken (klieg
after midnight) to the spot where be felt her take the watching
the constables wbo went thither, picked it up.
The prisoner, who has been a well-known character for a series
of years, and often suspected of robbing persons whom she me ird
conversed with, was fully committed for trial, after a soiree de-
claration that she never matched the watch.
Mr. Clusameesinquired particularly whether or not the pres!ci"
tor was intoxicated, and'uras answered in the negative b►it,
Constable of Surrey Watch-house, before the depositioas wets 1116
by Mr. Burnaby, the junior clerk.

A. short time since three gentlemen of the cleaver, 00
their return from Hailsham market to Hastings, or
ped at the Red Lion, on Megham Down, and ordered
dinner, as they were accustomed. to do, in their lief
home from market; the landlady's moderate charge,
one shilling and sixpence a head, being a strong induce'
rent for them to dine at the Red Lion, rather than
the market ordinary at Haikhans. Upon this octavo
the hostess had been ex:irately liberal in the bill of fares
providing, as she thought, amply sufficient for dotar
the number of guests. The dinner consisted of a 60e
roasted goose, a large chicken pudding, an apple Pi.
ding, with a prorthion of vegetables, and the usual
r.
czteras, which this trio of trenchermen contrived to
clear, leaving the landlady only a beggarly account of
hempty dishes, and eighteen pence each for their repast
' —one article of which—viz. the goose, cost the good
woman of the Red Lion just sixpence more than she
had received of her cormorant customers
