BOW.STREET.

Yesterday two stout lads, named Rickard Ring and Wes. Sconsecil,
were brought before Mr. HALLS, charged with being contented hs
the following robbery and outrage :
About three o'clock on Sunday afternoon, three youths, two of
whose names were Britton and Hill, of respectable families, were
passing nee a pump, in a street adjoining West/abater. Abbey,
when some of the gang of 14 or 15 lads, ail of them known thieves,
who were standing by the pump, threw water over them. Britton
immediately went up to them, and asked what they meant by such
conduct. and was almost instantly knocked down. His companions
came to pick him up, when they were also knocked down, and &w-
-hinnied by the whole gang, who beat and hisked.sissen,and turned
their pockets inside out. Hill was robbed et seven Arnim ; the
ether two had put what money they bad into their fobs, and it was
Sae found by the thieves. They were all three dreadfully beaten,
and Hill had one of his eyes completely closed sp. The thieves
ran air in different directions, but Ring was apprehended soon after
by Goddard, a Patrol, in Be. James's Park. Scannell was taken
hits custody yesterday by the same dicer.
The two prisoners were positively sworn to as being concerned
in the robbery, Ring having been seen to thrust his bands into Hill's
trousers' pockets, and turn them inside out ! and Scannell to pick
up part of the money and run away.
The prisoners admitted that they
but denied the robbery.
They were committed for trial.

in tbe " row,"

John OTellaghals, one of the seven millions of the 41 finest pea-
santry on earth,' lately arrived in St. Giles's from the County Li-
merick, with scarcely a rag, or, we should more truly say, with
nothing but ran, to cover his dingy hide, was put to the bar,
charged With being concerned, with another of his countrymen,
with attempting so rob a Gentleman of his watch and its append-
;ages. The prisoner kicked ups dreadful H bubbabubboo“ during
the whole of his examination, and continually ejaculated "Oh, my
Gos; ob, wicked perjury ; I'm kilt, dead, and burled," &c. ate. If
was stated byT several witnesses, that on Saturday afternoon, an
elderly Gtutlietan, of most respectable appearance, was °linseed,
in a SUM of ktordeatioo, walking from Tottenham Court-road
towards St. Giles's. When he get to the iron railings, near St.
Giles 's Church, the prisoner and his companion went up to him,
and each of them took hold of one of his arms, and dragged him
along. On the way the prisoner attempted to seize the Gentle-
man's watch and seals • bur not being able to get the watch out
of the fob, he and his companion dragged the Gentleman up a
gateway. There they were in the act of taking his watch, Sm.
when a Mr. Townshend, a cooper, residing in Broad-court, Bow.
street, and others who bad watched their audacious conduct, went
to the Gentleman's assistance, and asked the prisoner what right
he had to act in the manner be had done? _

The prisoner replied," By •--! he's my uncle." The by-slanders
laughed, and said it was impossible that so respectable a Gentleman
could be the uncle of so dirty and ragged a fellow, and seised the
prisoner. He fought hastily, and'almost strangled Mr. T.wa.bend,
and also Raven, the patrol, who came up very opportunely to assist
ha capturing him.
The prisoner in his defence said, that he was innocent, and that
the Gentleman really was his uncle; that he was acquainted with
those who were acquainted with John Wilson Crater, Esq. if they
did but know him (loud laughter).
Mr. Rani asked the prisoner who his companion was ? Pri-
soner Oh! my Lord Judge, his name is Mister Lane, and he lives
very convenient to this place.
Mr. Hats: Whereabouts ?—Prisoner : Oh, faith, that I can't
tell, nay Lord Judge.
Raves, the patrol, said, that tlaelarisoner's companion escaped, and
that during the bustle occasioned by the violent resistance of the
prisoner, the old Gentleman walked away.
Mr. iiAtia ordend the prisoner to be committed.
M AR L BOR OU G H-STARET.

AN/aßah Del Cardo, a tattooed young African, brought from
Borneo, an interior Mutat* of Africa, was yesterday one of the
complainants against Jake listeall, the son of a Russian cook, well
known to have been in the service of Count lateen, the late Charge
des Ataires and Minister Pknipmentiary of the last Autocrat,
Alexander. Abdallah was been& over by Major Denham, in one
of his travels, and placed in the house of Mr. Dimond, a pecruquier,
in Old Burlington street. He speaks very little English, and that
English very bad, and, unfortunately for him, be understauds it
worse than he speaks. He goes to church In this country, it is true,
but it is something in the nature of a father of his family, who
makes it obligatory on 'the part of his little children and domestics
always to attend a place of Divine worship on the Sabbath; the
first go peferota, the latter often to display new ribands. When
Roe asked him if he was a Chi istiaa, he replied, " ees ;" but
when questioned as to his knowledge of an oath, he knew nothing
about it, nor anything of a state of future rewards and punishments.
He said he knew the Turkish language, end we understood him to
be a ninssulman. To administer the oath, Mr. Hos endeavoured
to extract from Abdailah the form of appeal practised by the peo-
ple of Brirnou, but his defective knowledge of the English tongue
impelling him to a description in his native language, the Magis-
trate and all were left at their witi-end as to Its import. In the end,
it was elicited from him, that to tell ahe was "bad." The assault
he had to complain of was exhibited by gestures; he struck his own
face and shoulders to show the process. Bruises, if he had any, were
not visible; he was black before the assault, and no blacker now.—
We believe this was taken as evidence of an assauk 1 Protestant
and Catholic boot the office had, and so also the Old Testament in
Hebrew, but the Koran was in rite v..cative ease—it was wanting.
The two other complaints wire made by Air. Dimond, who stated
that the rrisinsel assaulted him, and said " a ha (the prisoner) bad,
