Joseph Pneell, a hackney-coach driver, was yesterday placed at
the bar before the presiding Magistrate, J. Ramansoo, Esq.
charged with stealing a valuable gold watch and appendages, toge-
ther with some silver, from the person of a gentleman of fortune,
residing at present at the Gloucester Coffee-house, Piccadilly.
The prosecutor stated that at half-past eleven on Saturday night
he got into the prisoner's hackney chariot, at the Tavistock Hotel,
Covent garden, and desired him to drive to the Gloucester Coffee-
house, Piccadilly. Soon after getting into the coach the prose-
.eutor fell asleep (having walked a considerable distance in the
cootie of the day, and having also partaken slightly of wine), and
• was awaked at the door of the Gloucester Coffee-house by the psi-
- goner shaking him. He immediately roused himself, and on putting
his hand in his waistcoat pocket discovered that his money was
gone ; he also missed his watch, which had been cut from the guard.
The prosecutor immediately charged the watchman with having
robbed hint ; he however, replied with greet nonchalance." Oh, no,
, I hav'nt ;it must have bees that woman you took up." The pro-
secutor replied, that he had no female whatever in the coach. The
prisoner retorted by remarking, " Oh, yes, and you took her to
Portland-place, where she left you." On the prosecutor again de-
nying this the prisoner said he could show him the house. A po-
liceman was immediately sent for, and they got into the chariot
again; but on arriving at Portland-place the prisoner had for-
gotten the house. Being then searched, and the articles not being
found upon him, he was liberated, but was within a few hours af-
terwards apprehended on a warrant, charging him with stealing a
box coat.
Mr. Smith, the principal waiter at the Gloucester Coffee-house,
corroborated the Gentleman's statement in part, particularly as to
the coachman having said that he knew the house where the Gen-
tleman had gone with the lady in Portland.place.
. Mr. Ramat:son enquired what the prisoner had to say ?
Mr. BURGOS, who attended as Solicitor for the prisoner, said
that be had a witness who could prove that he (the pruner)
drove a chariot, but always a coach, and also that the Gentleman
old take in a lady in Coventry-street, Haymarket.
Mr. Ramnison remarked. that by the late Act of Parliament
he wss hound to send to the Old Baily the statement of a witness
called for the prisoner, together with the depositions of the witness
for the prosecution. He merely mentioned this by way of infor-
mation, and nut as advice; but in his opinion the prisoner ought to
enter into some defence before he called witnesses.
Mr. Buttons replied that he would call the witness to speak for
the defence.
Mr. Ramasson acquiesced, and the witness was called.
Michael Fowler, a hackney coachman, said that he saw the
Gentleman take up a lady in Coventry-street, and that the pri-
soner always drove a coach.
Examined by Mr. RAWLINION—He always does drive a coach;
he drove a coach that night ; that is, let me see, I think he did ; I
wouldn't be certain.—(After a moment's pause )—Oh yes, it was
a coach.
Mr. Rawtitssoo remarked that the witness was intoxicated,
which afterwards appeared to be the case, and he was ordered out
of the Office.—The prisoner was committed for trial.

SNRIOUS ACC I DEN T.--Yesterday morning, about &Ur
o'clock, as Clements, one of the New Police, was passing through
Great Pulteney-street, he discovered a Gentleman lying on the
pavement, with no other covering than his shirt, and bleeding pro-
fusely. The window under which he lay was wide open. The
officer immediately alarmed the inmates of the house, and procured
the assistance cf Mr. Childcoat, a Surgeon. It appears that the
Gentleman,whose name is Price, is a surgeon ; he bad been spend-
ing the evening with a friend, and they both returned home toge-
ther about three o'clock in the morning, in a state of intoxication.
Mr. Price went to bed, but afterwards got up, threw open the
window, and jumped out. Ile feU first on the iron railings, am'
one of the spikes entered the leshy part of his arm, and lacerated
it in a dreadful manner. His head was very much injured, and
his body was bruised all over. He was afterwards placed in u
bed, and Mr. Chilcoat dressed his wounds, but they are of so seri-
ous a nature that but little hopes are entertained of his recovery.

dressed it thus—" To Mr. Duncan Cameron, iiighwaymen, Ren-
