H ATTON-G A RDEN.

Thomas Williams and James King were placed at the bar under
the following circamstances. About ball-past eleven o'clock on
Monday night, they were observed in the Green-lanes, near the
six-mile-stone, leading to Southgate, by a party of the Bow-street-
patrol, one of whom, Thomas Teake, went up to Williams, and
catching hold of his coat pocket, felt the handle of a centre-bit la it.
He was about to search him, but was struck at the moment by
King, who together with Williams ran off; they were however
quickly pursued and overaken, and upon their being searched, a
complete set of house-breaking implements were found upon them.
The prisimers were recognised as old offenders. They were corn-
snittsd to the House of Correction for three months.
MA RY-LA-BONNE.
A person of respectable appearance, who stated himself to be
independent, and residing at Fulham, was charged with taking two
girls into an a-la-mode beef shop near the Middlesex Hospital, and
though he had 5(11. in his pocket, refosing to pay the reckoning, but
suffered himself to be confined all night in the watclibouse. The
Magistrate inquired if he was drunk? which he denied, but the
constable said he was fresh. The Magistrate then said, be must
pay ss. to the King. He replied, he would rather give it to the
poor; when the Magistrate told him if he chose to give 10s. to any
Charitable institution he might. This be immediately did, and,
after paying the waiter, was discharged.
A footman to Lord Limerick was charged with purloining two
teaspoons. It appeared he owed 9s to a porter in the neighbourhocid
of his Lordship's residence, and on his pressing for payment the
prisoner gave him the spoons as a security.—He was fully com-
mitted, but afterwards admitted to bail.
WORSHIP-STREET.
A man named Richardson was charged with robbing White,
a labourer, of two half crowns, two shillings, and other money. Pro-,
secutor deposed, that in consequence of a quarrel with his wife on
Saturday night he went out and fell in with the prisoner, who was a
I stranger; and they drank together till all the alehouses were shut
up; that they wandered about till they were open in the morning.
About seven o'clock they went to a public-house in Norton-Mime,
I where, after counting his money and finding it safe, he fell asleep,
and on awaking found his pocket bad been picked. Three *UM'
crowns and two shillings were found on his companion, who had
told him he was out of work and had no money. A. chairmaker,
however, who employed the prisoner, said he paid him on Saturday
night four half-crowns and two shillings. He said he was a good
workman, and he believed an honest man, but too much addicted
to drinking.—The Magistrate, therefore, after reprimanding both
parties, discharged the prisoner.

Saturday evening last, a mechanic, named Morgan, was induced
to enter a house in the Mint with the fern.* prisoner, where they
had not been many minutes before the door of the apartment in
which they were was burst open. and the two male prisoners sad
some prostitutes rushed into the room. They immediately at-
tacked Morgan, who, although a powerful man, could not resist
the strength of his assailants, and he was •knocked down and a
handkerchief tied over his mouth to prevent him from giving the
alarm. While in this state his pockets were all turned 'wide onfi.
and be was plundered of between 30 and 40 shillings in silver...r.-
During the outrage Morgan made an attempt to rise from the:
floor, upon which he was severely bearen about the head ; he, how-,
ever, managed to slip the handkerchief off his mouth, and imme-
diately called out " Murder ;" his cries were beird by two of
illow.street patrol, Morgan and Kingslaad, who immediately hunt.
in the street door of the house; and at the moment the patrolif-
fected an entrance the prisoners rushed from the room where they
had maltreated Morgan, and escaped at that time by jumpinE over
;wail at the rear of the house, not however before their persons
'were distinctly seen by the patrol, who knew them to be desperate
characters, heels; bad them in rcustody on charges of felony. When
the patrol entered the room, they found Morgan lying on the floor
almost exhausted, and his clothes nearly torn off his hack. The'
prisoners, Riordan and Monist, were apprehended on Monday

plainant and also by the patrol, as the men whom they observed,
make their escape.—The prisoners were committed for trial.
