ROBBERY IN A HOUSE OF ILL-FAME.—A prostitute,
named Mary Chambers, was charged with stealing a gold
watch and 46 from a man named James Quin, a sergeant
in the militia. On Saturday evening the prosecutor ac-
companied the prisoner to a house in Hothain-street, and
the articles were taken from him whilst he was in her
company. The prisoner was remanded for a week.

BRUTAL ROBBERY IN BANASTRE-STREET.---A fellow,
named John Fagan, was charged with violently assaulting
and robbing two persons named Benjamin Hughes and
James Pritchard, in Banastre-street, yesterday morning,
between one and two o'clock. It appeared that about
half-past one o'clock, Hughes and Pritchard had been at
a public-house, and were on their way home along Balms-
tre-street. Pritchard, who is nearly blind, (and who was
being led by Hughes,) had occasion to stop in the street
for a few moments, and, during that time, the prisoner
and a number of other persons came up, and whilst
Hughes was waiting for his companion, the prisoner and
some of his comrades seized the latter, knocked him
dawn, and took possession of his hat and coat, and then
robbed him of eightecnpenee. Hughes went up to them,
and asked the prisoner and those with him if they were
going to kill Pritchard, on which they knocked hii
and kicked him, and rifled his pockets of a shilling.
getting away from the gang, the prosecutors met a police-
man, and turned back with him, when they saw the
prisoner, and identified him as one of the parties to the
robbery, and he was taken into custody. The coat the
prisoner wore, when ho appeared in the dock yesterday,
was identified by the prosecutor Pritchard, as the one of
which he had been robbed. The prisoner was fully com-
mitted for trial.
