GUILDHAL4

A Clerk to a Solicitor was charged with stealing a £lOO Bank
note from Mr. Colley, who fortmrly kept the Symond's lon Coffee-
house, Chancery-lane. The prisoner used to frequent the InAse,
and upon Mr. Colley leaving the business, the former knowing he
bad some money, offere4 to place it for safety iu the hands of his
father's banker. Mr. Colley gave him a £lOO note to be so depo-
sited, but•afterwards asked for £5O back, and desired the remain-
ing £5O with a fltll of Exchange for the same amount to be placed
at the banker's as before. It turned out, however, that t►e prisoner
conversed the £lOO to his own use, and that his Luber kept no ac-
count with a banker. It had boas previously held that the prisoner
could not be punished under Sir T. Plainer a Act, be not being an
agent; broker, banker, Ste. and it was now a question, whether he
could be indicted for taking from the prosecutor the £5O mow,
which had never been in his possession, or for taking the £lOO
note, which the prosecutor had desired to be changed, and received
half the value of it back.—The prisOner was remanded.

HATTON GARDEN.
Yesterday, Peter Roseau and Ant Redding, were brought before
the Sitting Magistrate, W. L. It:loges, IN+ under the following
charge :—Mr. Lee, of Kenton-street, Brunntriek-sitaare; stated,
that the male•prisoaer lodged with him, and was in the habit of
bringing different women borne with him, after the family bad re-
tiretito rest. This morning, betdreen six and seven o'clock, he was
alarmed by the cry of murder, pilot-ceding from the room of the
male prisoner, and on going up staire.'he flatted the watsvin en the
;round, covered Willa blood, and Rondent standingovef her flourish=
Ing a poker. She tp,ging an entire stranger to witness, he=ave them
both into the custodp of Cadby.
Jane Reading, the temak brought, up with Rondeau, and whose
face and head were one mass of contusions and- bruises; was then
asked by the Magistrate, Wake wished to prefer any charge against
the prisoner for the gross assault on herself? She answered in the
affirmative, and stated, that having met the prisofier last night, be
persuaded her to accompany him to his lodgings, which she did,
and staid till this morning. On being about to leave the house, she
reminded him of a certain promise made to her last night. The
prisoner, who is a Frenchman, said, " O. yes ; I recollect ver well
—take dat," and immediately *struck her a blow in the face, which
knocked her down. * He then seised the poker, and struck her on
the head, and if her cribs bad not brought assistance, she would, in
all probability, have fallen a victim to his violence.
In his defence, the prisoner said, he took her home for charity,
and he could not see why she should ask him for money. She was
very impertinent, and he chastised her.
The Magistrate said he was a very great brute, and it was for-
tunate for hint that his violence bad not placed him at that bar in a
very different situation, when his life might have been at stake.
He was ordered to find bail.
