John Crosswell deposed that be was butler to Lady Raffles, who
resided at Highwood, mar Hendon, in Middlesex. He slept in
the pantry, and between three and four o'clock that morning he
was awoke by a noise. On looking through the glass door into the
passage, he observed two men, our of whom had got a lamp in
his hand; he cried out, " ! who's there?" The men made
no reply, but ran away. lie pursued them through the 'entrance
hall into the school room, front one at the windows of which they
made their escape, and he rang the alarm bell. On searching the
house a centre bit, datk lantern, and chissel were found, and it was
discovered that the theieves had carried off Miss Rafiles's toy box,
two pair of scissors, a thimble, and two cambric pocket handker-
chiefs.—He was unable to swear to the prisoners, as he had only
indistinctly seen their barks as they retreated, hut their size and
general appearance corresponded with those of the men he had
seen, and who in their burry bad forgotten w take their hats with
them.

The hats were then tried an, and exactly fitted the prisoners.
Batty. a carrier, deposed that he had seen the prisoners about
three miles from Highwood. at eight o'clock that morning. They
were without bats, and inquired the most bye-road to town. They
also asked him if be could direct them to any place where hats
could be purchased.

the prisoners in the Churchyard at Hendon, about ten o'clock that
Morning. One of them was without a hat, but the other had one
Ims which he purchased of a boy fin a shilling.
The prisoners, who were examined apart, showed great relne-,
tance to give any account of themselves. George stated that he'
Was the son of a pen cutter, and followed that trade himself. Hr

THS GREENWICH 11011tCrat. CAME—Austin, the individual who
elands charged with an extensive embezzlement on Greenwich
Hospital, was brought to this office In a postchaise, between eight
and nine o'clock yesterday morning, by Salmon, an active officer
of this establishment, and Farmer, a Greenwich constable. After
a short examination before Sir R. Blanes, she prisoner was sent to
the watchhouse for the present. He appeared very much downcast,
and betrayed considerable restlessness and agitation. His further
examination will be delayed until the witnesses in the case can be
collected.
A most atrocious case of assault was brought before the sitting.
Magistrates, Sir Ric:Haan aIItNIE and Mr. Hams, the particulars
of which, from a proper feeling towards war readers, we suppress.
The prosecutor is the father of a female infant, only eight years
of age, who was assaulted by a young man who lodged in the pro-
secutor's home; and so heinous was the offente, that the child is
actually under the care of an eminent surgeon.
The prisoner was fully committed.
Mr. HaLts, in no measured terms, expressed his abhorrence not
only of the crime imputed to the prisoner, but also the conduct of
the child's parents, who, subsequent to their charging the ptisoher
with the assault, agreed to accept of a compromise, which, coming
to the knowledge of Mr. HALL', be said, if they did not know the
duty they owed to their infant, they should to the public, and he
would therefore commit the prisoner on the evidence of the child;
but be was afterwards admitted to bail.

• WORSHIP—STREET.

Yesterday Mr.Gole, of Nelson street. City-roid, was turnmstoe4
to the office by the driver of the hackney-coach, No. 432, vibe
claimed one shiiling more for a fare than the defendant had choke
to pay him.
The coach, it appeared, had been hired to convey Mr. Gele's
family, consisSng of four grown persons and a child, from the
COstonnahouse to his residence, sonic distance off the stones. The
coachman asked 4s. for his fare, being an extra Is. for the fi
person, but Mr. Gole would pay no more than 3s.
The defendant resisted the coachman's claim, on the ground that'
the charge for the fifth individual, his child, was illegal, there beitg
an exception in the Act of Parliament in favour in children.
Mr. Herter g, the Magistrate, however said, th“t the exceytine
applied only to children in the arms, and not to children capable
of sitting and occupying a distinct place in the coach, such as the
defendant's child, admitted to be ten years of age. He therefore
decided that the coachman was legally entitled to his demand.
The defendant, in addition to the is. fare, had to pay cis. W. for
costs, and the coachman's lost time.
