POLICH.

Got LI:111A LL.—Benjamiri Ramses and nomas Alareton
were brought up yesterday, before the Sitting Alderman,
Sir R. O. Glyn, Bart„ chi-wed with a robbery of the
most daring kind, committed in broad day-!ight, in Cheap-
side. _ _ _

Charles Herds&ll, the Officer of this Justice-room, had
observed the poisoners togeth-r on the north site s,f
Cheapside, between tour ant live o'clock on Monday af-
ternoon, and watched them. Marston cruss-d over and
took his stand at.l3uir Church. As soon as he was plant-
ed, Barnes snatched .1 driving coat from the box of a ca-
ravan for the conveyance of macical instruments, stand-
ing at the door of Mr. Rolfe, musical instrument maker,
No. 112, Cheapside. He crossed the way immediately
with hi+ booty, passed his compan'on without takingaany
notice of him, and went through Bow Church-Ord into
Bow-lane. Marston remained a few minutes to observe
if any person was pursuing ; and having .:scertained, as
he thought, that Barnes had got clear off, followed and
joined him in Bow-lane. The latter by this time had put
the coat on. Herdsfield secured both of :hem.

The prisoners offered no defence, an I were remanded
until Thuradsy, to give the owner of the coat an oppor-
tunity to attend and identify the property.
Bow STREWT.—Yestertlay, Samuel needier. a to n of
colour, was brought before Sir R. Iliraie and 'fltottlas
Hdlls, Esq. charged with sterling 205/. in Hank-nova,
the property of his employers. Hegira, Perkins, Heath,
and Heath. engravers, 69. Fleet-street.

It appeared in evidence, that Messrs. Perkins and
Heaths brought the prisoner with them to this country
from America, some years ago, and continued him in
their service as porter up to the time of the robbery in
question. They had so high an opinion of his integrity,
that be was frequently entrusted to pay and receive large
sums of money. On the 3lst of January last, Mr. Bacon,
the managing clerk to Mewl. Perkins and Heaths, sent
the prisoner to Cocks and Biddelph, the bankers, at
Charing-erns', with an order of the Chepatow Bank for
2081. 6s. Sd. drawn in favour of the prosecutors. Ott
bis return to Fleet-street, he said he bad lost 2031. of the
money out of his pocket. A 21104. Bank of England
note was afterwards traced to the prisoner, who was ap-
prehended at Liverpool.
He made no defence, and was fully committed to New.
gate for trial.

MARLBOROUGH-STMT.—The young man who at his
first examination, gave his name Charles James fierfoot,
was yesterday brought from the new prieon, Clerken-
It ell, for re-examination, upon a charge of tiding away
with a horse, belonging to Mr. Mann, a riding-master,
at Brighton, and uttering two forged Bills of Exchange,
importing to be drawn by the firm of Ainsworth and
Co. Manufacturers at Manchester, upon the Banking-
house of Me . Jones, Lloyd, and Co. in the City.

'The prisoner handed to the Magistr tte a long writ-
ten statement, stating that his name was not Kerfoot,
this name bring only assumed to save his friends from
disgrace. It then went on to say, that be was of re-
spectable parents, at Bolton, in Lancashire. frosts whom
he received a religious and moral education—tb at be
bad been for some time in the counting-house of M .
sMnswortb, and that about four years ago, when he at-
tained the age of twenty-one, he became possessed of an
independent property and married a young woman of
respectability in his father's neighbourhood, but having
unfortunately embarked his property in the timber trade,
in partnership with a person who, by his extravagance,
brought ruin upon the business, be lost all. That ever
Adam then ha had been endeavouring to obtain a alma-
don in some mercantile house, and with that view went
to Brighton about a month ago to see a friend who had
resided there, but on his arrival be found hie friend had
left; after being a fortnight at Brighton he heard that
hie friend was in London, and not having any money to
pay coach fare, be hired Mr. Mann's horse to come to
town, and procure money to pay what debts he owed at
Brighton ; but he never lied an idea of not returning
the horse. The paper then stated the names of a num-
ber of Magistrates and Clergymen of the first respecta-
bility. in Lancashire, who, he said, would vouch for his
good conduct and character through life; it also men-
tioned the name of a Member of Parliament for one of
the boroughs in Lancashire, whom he stated to be his
first cousin. Ills wife and two children were described
as entirely dependent upon him, and that his widowed
mother had seven children besides him to support.
The Magistrates determined that the ease should be
adjourned to a future day, sad that on Saturday they
would make up their minds as to the best mode of
proceeding!.
