another man, in the crowd ; and suspecting they were
about to commit a robbery, he watched them, and
saw Lee make several attempts at a Mr. Jackson's
pocket ; and Chinnery endeavour to prevent him
being seen ; and, on a coach passing, Lee drew a
pocket-book from Mr. Jackson's pocket ; upon which
he immediately seized him, and he dropped this book.
Chinnery was also secured ; R. Jackson, of James.

book with the other. They were fully committed to
Ncwgate for trial.

7. Eden, the driver of a Richmond stage, was char-
ged with using abusive language to Mr. M•Creery, a
passenger, on the ‘26th ult.
The prosecutor, who resides at Putney, said he was
an outside passenger, and conceiving the prisoner was
ill-treating a boy, he took his part, which induced the
coachman to .insult him in the most gross manner.
The prisoner was convicted in the penalty of 40s.

J. Wet& was charged with being a returned trans-
port. Tattuton said, he apprehended the prisoner in
Union-street, in the Borough, suspecting him to hare
escaped from on board the hulks at Woolwich, where
he was under sentence of transportation in the name
of Edward Malin and•sinee, he acknowledged that
he had escaped in the guard boat, with two other con-
victs. He was committed for trial.

Borough. The prisoner acknowledged the charge,
and was committed for trial.

Ytsterday, Mr. Matthews, a pawnbroker i,i the
Minorie3, was charged at the Mansion House with
having several East India handkerchiefs concealed in
his possession.

A Custom House officer produced 33 Bandannas,
and five others, mostly half worn out, which he had
seized ; but on cross-examination it appeared, that
so far from being concealed, they were publicly ex-
posed for sale, and ticketed in t!ie warehouse. The
information was therefore quashed.

At Hatton•garden yesterday Edward tarty an!
Patrick Crawley, were charged by John Franklin, a

knocked him down, robbed him of his umbrella, hat,
and what Icr)se money he had about him. He made
a most powerful resistance, till the constables and
neighbours came to his assistance. The charge
against Casey wasthe most material, upon which-he
stands fully committed for trial, and Crawley for re-
examination.
