Outtneratt..---Earrexstva ROBBERY AT Messes. DAL.
LENIORE'S. THE CARRIERS: Yesterday, Solon's,* Britton,
Jos. Thstrloce, Elie. Weston, and Alice Gibbs, the two
former are servants, in the employ of Messrs. T. and 01.
Dallimore, the carriers, Doctors' tommons: Weston is the
wife of smother of their servantf, and the prisoner Gibbs
her sister,, were brought to this Office, charged with
robbery.
For tome time Oast Messrs. Dallimore's have suspected
that some of their servants robbed them. Ray after day
brought complaints, either from town or from the country,
of parcels or packages sent for conveyance by their vans,
having been opened, and property stolen therefrom, Strict
watch was kept to detect the OK but without success, until
Friday last, when Weston, their carman for the delivery of
goods at the West end of town, was seen endeavouring
to open a crate, but before he could be steamed he absconded.
T bedew, i lad about 17, their City canuan. was charged
by Ith. Dallimore with being
.privy to Westosespractices,
and be confessed his participation in them, and reformed
against Britton, the yard porter. The two prisoners were
:men in custody, and sabsequently, through their assistance,
Weston's lodgings, in an obscure court, Little MoorfieWs,
were discovered. litre they found the two female prise°.
ers; the officer told them his business, and required Mrs.
Weston to produce what pawnbrokers' duplicates she bad, 1
and she gave him one. On searching, however, no less than
15 other duplicates were found, hid under the sugar glass in i
a tea chest, being duplicates of articles,' such as bad been
missed at different times. Weston's lodgings were the depot
for the stolen property. till it could be disposed of, and a
basket full was produced, consisting of a quantity of sassa-
fras, and tobacco, some new silk gloves, a roll or two of new
broad ribband, several pdrcels of new pins, text pieces of
lace, a drab great coat, which 51r. Dallimore hail lost a Wort '
Bute since, and a variety of other articles. Among the
duplicates, was one for a stuff box, pawned on the Bth of
August. at Mr. Muneaster's, Skinner- rrrrr t. Snowhill,
whose shopman now attended with it, and identified Gibbs,
as the person who pledged it.
A Gentlentan, named Coleman, deposed, that upon the
Bth of August he delivered,at the Spread Reek. Piccadilly,
(Messrs. Dallimore's ref eivine house at the west end of tree
town); a package to he sent by the van to Bristol, in which,
among other articles, was the snuff-box nose produced.
With the exception of that, all the other articles in the
package arrived safe.
This evidence, and the fart of several of the duplicates
being in the name of Elizabeth Weston, was sufficient to
authorise the detention of the two female prisoners • but
some difficulty arose aeto Britton and Thurlow, Mr. hum -
ohms, who attended for the former, urging that there
was nothing to affect him.
Alr. Flgell, the princiral clerk at Messrs. Dallimore's,
tendered a confession written by Thurluw, but this had
' beeu obtained under promises, that if he told all it
should be the better for him, could nut be received as
evidence.
A solicitor, who attended on the behalf of Messrs. Dal-
limore's, suggested that probably it might ultimately be
deemed proper to make the lad, Tharlow, a witness ; and
upon his undertaking to bring forward other testimony to
stew the guilt of Britton, the Magistrate remanded all the
prisoners.
These depredations have been carried on to a great ex-
tent.—Mr. Edgell said he had twenty complaints at least
before him now, and several persons whose packages had
been opened and robbed, were in attendance, and there is
no doubt that at the next hearing, property to a consider-
able amount will be identified by them.

Bow trraear. —James Edmonds was yesterday brought
up on sospirion of having stolen five ten-pOund notes, the
property of William Thornton.
William Thornton stated, that he was a carpenter by
trade, and lived in Millman-place, Bedford row ; the pri.
loner had lodged in the same house. On the 14th inst. he
received live ten-peons! Bank of England notes, io rooning
numbers, for stock, which had been sold by his broker.—
These notes he deposited in a box in Isis mom. On Thurs-
day last lie saw them safe, but on Prillay, when he went
home to dinner, he discovered that his box hail been broken
opek, and the notes carried off; be immediately proceeded
to stop payment of the notes at the Bank of England, and
a slay or two back one of the notes was paid io, and traced
to Mr. Newby, a pawnbroker, io Drury-lane. On referring
to Mr. Newby's books, the note was discovered to hays'
been received for a watch, a gold rimmed eyeglass, and
other things, which had been redeemed from pledge by the
prisoner. The amount of the things thus redeemed was
31. ss.
Wm.-Avis, the officer, stated, that in consequence of
suspicious entertained against the prisoner, he searched
him, and found in lobs possession the watch which had been
redeemed from Mr. Newby. Ile did not, however, find any
of the remainder of the money.
The prisoner admitted that he had redeemed the proper-.
ty in question, but hail paid in sovereigns.
This the shopman positively denied, and the prisoner.
was committed for further examination.

CORONER'S INQUESTS.

--•+.*-

An Inquest was held last evening, before THOMAS STISII%6
Esq. Coroner, at the Red Lion, Westbourne-green, Padding-
ton, on the body of John Norman, a dustman, who was killed
in • pugilistic contest with a soldier.
Mr. William Davis, jun. of 13, Chapel-street, Merylebone,
assistant-surgeon, stated that on Thursday afternoon, between
five and six o'clock, he was sent for to attend the deceased,
who' was stated to have received several desperate blows in a
fight. Witness found him in the Harrow rood, opposite the
house where the Jury sit, quite deed, and therefore he did not
attempt to bleed him. Witness exataised the body and found
so marks of violence about it. He could not tell, from the ap-
pearances. to what to attribute the death.
Juror.—Before we proceed ferther. the body had better be
opened, or another medical man examined..
GONONER.—ft may be as well to have the body opened.
Witness further examine.' by a Juror.—He examined die
scrotum; saw no marks of violence ; the face was not deeply
suffused; the neck was a little swollen on one side; the moan
was not filled with blood ; the eyes were not swollen, nor
were the pupils particularly dilated. Witness stripped the
body, but afterwards he took a more cursory glance et ft super-
ficially; he knew of no other Surgeon having examined the
body.
The Jury went to view the body, which lay in an adjoiniwg
room, and they found the abdomen much distended, and very
bleak the entire surface of the lower extremities, and Mr.
Wheeler (a Surgeon) one of the Jury, said. " I have no hesi-
tation in asserting, that the death of this poor man was occa-
sioned by external violence in the abdomen. a:,.1 I believe the
violence was by a kick." The Jury expressed a wish that Mr.
Wheeler should be struck out of the panel and be permitted to
open the body and become a witness ; the Coroner made some
objection. and Mr. Snell, a surgeon, was sent for. and
Mr. Davit, jun. was again examined—He had again seen the
body, and had observed marks on the abdomen, which he did
not see on Thursday evening—a distension and blackness, and
la his opinion the appearances had been oecasloned by blows
or kicks, but lie thought they were occasioned by a blow ; cer-
tainly not from putrefaction. He had been accustomed to see
dead bodies in hot weather, but had not had sufficient expe-
rience to be able to say whether a blow In the scrotum would
occasion death., Witness Ind observed the swelling on the
neck, but could not say if that was the effect of a blow ; vio-
lent struggling would cause it ; a blow on the belly was likely
to occasion death.
Stephen Runn, a butcher, residing at 12, Harrow-road.
stated, that on Thursday afternoon he was passing the Red
Lion. and saw the deceased and a soldier quarrelling. and the
latter stripped to fight. The deceased did uot strip at first,
but ran at the soldier, end clung rotted his neck and atrpck hlm
repeated blows, which were exchanged by the soldier, and
they both fell. He could not say where the deceased struck
the first blow, whether on the head or body ; but he was po-
sitive as far as he saw that the dustman struck the soldier first,
and the soldier was undermost when they fell. After the first
round had terminated. the deceased took off his clothes, and
they both stood up again opposed to each other stud fought ;
be could not say who received the first blow ; they fought for
several minutes; it was what is called a good fair round ;
no undue advantage was taken on either side; they relied,
closed, and fell at the end. and the soldier again undermost.—
A third round was fought ; the soldier gave the deceased a se-
vere blow in the belly ; he did not consider it a foul blo••: ;
could not say [fit was struck below tits waistband of the small
clothes ; on receiving the blow the deceased instautly dropped
and did not rise again; he appeared to be quite dead, and wit-
ness went away.
Mr. Benson, landlord of the Red Lion, stated that the de-
ceased, with several dustmen. were drinking in the road, front-
ing his house, about flee o'clock yesterday afternoon, when the
soldiers came up, apparently a little la liquor ; the deceased
challenged the soldiers to play a game called " Four Corners."
Witness refused to let them go Into the ground to play, and
various other games were proposed by the dustmen which the
soldiers refused, and the dustmen called the soldiers "cowards,"
and a fight ensued.
Thomas Morgan, a dustman, stated that he saw the affray ;
the soldiers were the aggressors, they called the dustmea "cross
coves," and %slated upon fighting; they were uot called—
" cowards •" the word was not seed; and the soldiers struck
the deceased first.
Mr. Thomas Doughty, surgeon, of Portman-place, stated
that he had opened the body, and found no wound on the als-'
domen, but there was an extnvasation of blood on the yea•
icicles of the brain, which caused apoplexy and produced his
death. Exertion in fighting was likely to produce such an
effect ; a blow on the abdomen was not likely. Verdict—
" Died of apoplexy."
On Tuesday last, an inquisition was held by Mr. Whiteley.
one of the coroners of this county, upon view of the body of
Mary Freeman, of Hurst-street, whose death was supposed to
have been occasioned by her husband, who had voluntarily sur-
rendered himself into the custody. of Mr. AtlkioS, the • keeper
of the prison, to await the result of the invektigation. it ap-.
peered in evidence, that the deceased was in a state of Intoxi-
cation on Sa!urday, and during the whole of -Sunday last, and
about half past 2 o'clock the latter day, her husband reproach-
ed her for it, in the presence of a neighbour. and for the ne-
gleet (.f Isis children, who were almost naked. The deceased
became exceedingly imaged, pulled her hatband by tae nose,
beat his head against the wall, and used the most irritating lan.
gunge; lie then gave her a slight blow in the face, and the
neighbour attempted to prevent any further violence ; but the
deceased. in a fit of passion, ran at him with her clenchedast ;
her husband pushed her gently +Cosy from him, in his own de-
fence, and, to avoid the blow she was aiming at him ; she fell
against the wall, and then to the ground, and upon being raised
up. expired in a few minutes. There was not the slightest ex-
ternal injury epos tae head, but some of the blood insets of
the brain had been ruptured; an I there was a large quantity cf
