MANSION-HOUSE.

Yesterday Mr. Harmer's clerk brought before the Lou) Momma
twelve persons, residents near that part of Bethnal-green where the
robbery was committed, for which two young men, convicted it
the last Old Bailey Sessions, are ordered for execution. The parties
now came forward to make affidavit of circumstances within their I
knowledge, to be communicated to the Secretary of State.
The object of the affidavit to which they made oath was, to im-
peach the correctness of the prosecutor's testimony. He swath
positively that It was ten minutes before eight o'clock in the errs.
ing when the robbery was committed. They all swore that they
beard the cries of alarm, and that the time was ten minutes after
eight ; so that he must have erred by twenty minutes as to the time.
This was con sidered as an important variation for the prisoners,
tending to raise a doubt as to whether the prosecutor might not
also be mistaken as to their identity.

GUILDHALL.
Robert Jeff a middle aged individual, was brosght before Sir
Alderman C.'B3evrai yesterday, in custody of Leadbetter, the Mar-
shalman, upon a warrant charging him with embezzling the amount
of certain cheques which came into his hands In the character of
clerk of Messrs. Charles Brooke and Co: Biackwellaball factors;
a. • la

Mr. John Webb, partner In the house of Brooke and Co.
deposed that the prisoner was a • clerk to the firm, and that a
part of his duty was to receive all the money', collected, nod.
hand therm over to the Banker, entering all sums so received
in a book called the memorandum hook. The sums should
have been paid over to the Banking-house every day, or when
a sufficient amount accumulated. 'lt was usual to lend to the
Bankers' nearly every day, the amount received commonly
reaching above 1001. On the Ist of November, a customer of the
name of Budge, paid the witness 531.-which he fully believed be
banded to the prisoner to be paid into the Bankers'. He bad net
however, a distinct recollection of that part of the circumstance,
but it was the invariable course of the business to. hand all money
received to the prisoner and he had not the least doubt therefore
that he (witness) gave the 453 in question, as usual to him. l•ook-
ing at the memorandum and the Banker/ book thed before hips,
witness could.aay the prisoner had never accounted far that sum
in any way. •
Leabetter produced 4210. in notes, which he had found at the
prisoner's house at Norwood, 4150 of which he ,aid the prisoner
told him belonged to O'Nesje the pogiliat.
Jell, who appeared much dejected, was accommodated with a
chair, having recently had the bones of his left leg fractured, when
naked if he 'had any observations to make? replied that he was toil
unwell to say anything, and he was remanded for further examine.

Mr. Carpenter, the pastryeonk, i 0 Fleet-street, was charged with
violent assault upon his wife,. The defendant has been married
to the complainant but fifteen months, and according to her account
there are two constant themes for altercation in play—his desire to
force her to give up to him two freehold houses, settled at her mar-
riage upon herself, and his continuing • an illicit connexion with a
servant girl,• by whotn.he has already ode, and the promise of a
second child. On Sunday last he said he should go to America.,
and upon her 'asking why ? he told her love would drive himt there,
and that his efforts to• get forward in pecuniary mattersveonied
fruitless. She told him be would assurefily keep back while he had
two families to maintain ;,upon which he, speaking of her rival,
said he would bring her home the neat night, and remarked, that
for aught be knew the Oar Wretch was then wanting a morsel of
bread. She was leaving the place, when fir attacked her,
and gave her the .blows upon the eye, the. violence of which
was proved by the marks then visible. On ;he previous night ,
she observed he was in an unhappy state of mind, and kept
wandering up and down the shop, she hid no' doubt for the 1
purpose of seeing the young woman pass ; she used all the
little endearments she was mistress of, and invited bias to
,come and sit with her, observing there was everything to make
him happy. He saw that she suspected what he was watching
Aar, and coming up to her, and spreading some playing cards before'
her, be said, here am I, and here is the Clubs-woman (meaning
Fox, his former servant girl) near me. She threatened to, throw o
his cards in the fire, and would not listen to any more such rubbish.

In reply to this statement, the husband declared half that she

"Sunday, Ind he was drinking ber health with " here's my Inv,

`and smashed set worth of windows in a minute. He, out of

one but his father to have access to him. _ _ _
