TOWN.H ALL

James Taylor, a well-known thief, was charged on Saturday with
robbing a Lady named White, the wife of a ship-owner at Horsley-
down. It appeared that Mrs. White left home to make some pur-
chases, basing in her reticule a sovereign and a quantity of silver, and
in pa.sing through Joiner's-street, she fell down in a bt, and on
coming to herself found she had been robbed of five half-crowns. The
prisoner, in the confusion occasioned by the distressing situation el
the prmecutrix, was seen to pick up several pieces of silver, and
make of, when he was pursued and taken.
The prisoner saucily admitted taking three half-crowns, saying be
saw others d.) the like, and thought he had an equal right to a share
in the spoil. He was committed.

Last week, the driver of the Het eford and Hay mail.
