GUILDHALL.--CORSOLIS AND E7CTPN'SIVE Roe-
neay.--leesterday Robert Hartland John Hooperere
w
brought before the Sitting Magistrate by two Offi-
cers of Queen-square, charged on suspicion with
being the perpetrators of an extensive robbery in the
house of Mr. John Worcester Chandler, salesman, in
West Smithfield. The following were the circum-
stances of the case as detailed by the prosecutor and
two young females, sisters to the prisoner Hall:—
One of the sisters, Hannah Hall, lived as servant I
with the prosecutor, whO on Sunday morning last
Irrent out early, leaving her in care of the house, with
•pet - - n to invite her sister to spend the day with
heV. He had several times expressly forbidden the
bite:het to come to the house, as he vias aware of
the very bid character he bore. The two sisters were
sitMig in the house together, when about eleven
o'clock the bell rung, and Hannah, upint opening
the door, found it tope her brother. The other sis-
ter, hearing his voice, and wishing to avoid him,
ran to another room; but was afterwards induced to
come into the kitchen arid speak to him. He seem-
ed mach altered ih his behaviour; and in a very
iaffectionate manner begged pardon for former reis-
eonduet towards them, and Hannah said she would
get some porter, but could not leave the house. The
prisoner their offered to go, and took the key of the
front door. He returned after an absence of a few
minutes, and called from the top of the stairs-
I" Hannah, do you want any bread r She replied
-in the negative ; and, after remaining about a minute
at the top of the stairs, he came down, laid the key
of the street door upon the table, and seated himself
:in such a position against the kitchen door, that no
person could pass without his rising ; continued con-
tersing.for sortie time in a manner highly pleasing
,to his sisters, who imagined him to be completely
reformed. After a lapse of about tWanty minutes,
he rose and observed that Mary seemed uneasy, and
die supposed it Was becattintie Was there. He would
therefore leave them, and saluting her very affec-
.tionately, he went part of the *ay up stair's, but re-
:turned. Mary then attempted to pass hid), but he
prevented her. After a struggle, however, she got
up stairs to Mrs. Chandler's room, where she found
all the drawers open. The other sister in the interim
eathe up, and finding the street door open, called
out that she was ruined for ever, and attempted to
rrin up to her sister. Her brother, however, begged
!" for Gob's sake she would not, for she would be
'murdered." She replied she did not care, and run-
ning up the stairs, and from one room to another,
she discovered that every drawer and cupboard in
the house had.been forced open and stripped of their
commits, which were very valuable. Among other
things missing was a ring valued at 50 guineas, and
40 new shirts. The prisoner came up, and, appa-
rently:much agitated, inquired what had been lost,
and looking into the place where the plate was kept,
eztlairited, " thank Goo, they have not taken the
plate r He then begged they would nei be uneasy,
as he weiild go to Hatton-garden, and soon get back
the property. He left the house, but did not returo-
At funr o'clock, Maty Hall went to her father, and
by his desire proceeded ,to Bow-street, where she
gave information of the robbery, and described her
brother's person. On Wednesday he was appre-
hended, together with the prisoner Hooper, who was
known to be his constant associate in vice. On being
taken, liall said, " I suppose this is for that b
