dow, and living servant with Mr. Berry, of Perry-street;
Sydenhans, Kent, was returning home by the stage
coach from London, and got into conversation with the
prisoner, who was a passenger. When the coach strived
at Sydenharu, he requested permission to walk with her
as funs she was going, which she eonsentesito and he
accompanied her to the end of Perry Street, where she
thanked him for his attention,. and was wishing hies
good night, when he seized her by the neck, and placing
his left leg behind her, attempted to throw her down.—
She struggled with helLea said; " D—n your
eyee,.if you make a noise 1 will butcher you.'" and at the
same time snatched from her band a small bundle, con-
taining a few trifling articles of children/a wearing ap-
parel. She then cried out murder, and perceived two
young men• waiting near the spot, and beard one of them

31ABLIIOROOGII-STREET.—The father of the young
man William Tully, who was in custody on suspicion of
being concernethin the attempted robbery at Mr. Glos.
sup's house in Picadilly, on. Wednesday night last. came
to the office yesterday, and stated. to Mr. Roe, the Magis-
trate, that he was surprised and shocked to see his son's
name that morning in a newspaper as connected with
such a transaction as a rubbery. tie fully thought the
lad was at Twickenham with. his grandfather, who.had
brought him op from his childhood ; and probably, had
it not been for the publication in the paper, he shost'd
not Lave known any thing about his sun's situation, as
he believed the lad would prefer any suffisring to hurting
his feelings by acqttainting him with it. Mr. Tally add•
ed, that on Wednesday morning last, his son came to
town and spent the day with him (the father), and left
his house about five o'clock to return by the coach to
Twickenham, and since then he heard nothing of hint
until he fortunately saw his name in the paper. Mr.
loos pointed out the inconsistency of this account n
what Lad been stated by the boy hisneeifon the first ex-
amination hat in a short time another relation.of t'„: •
lad's attended, gave him an excellent character, and cor-
roborated all the father had said, on whirls an order was
then given to the father for Lis liberation, after a pre-
mise that he shonlil be forthcoming.
AlAlli-111-130:48 °rms.—Yesterday the Justice-room
was much crowded, in conseqmisce of the examination
of five desperate youthful housebreakers, the eldest not
more than sixteen, and the youngest only ten years old,
who were captured by Staples, an active otherr of this
establishment, on the charge of breaking and entering
the premises of Mr. Mathew Wood, the tin and hardware
warehouse, in Elliot's-row, New-road. The delinquents
gm their names, A/alike:a Cranford, Charles and
Jews IN:on (brothers), Saingel Phillips, and Thomas
Thompson.
The prosecutor stated, that on the night of the 14th
nit. he and his family retired to bed at their usual hour,
after securing the doors of his premises. About four
o'clock next morning he was awoke by an incessant
knocking at the door; he leaped out of bed and opened
his chamber window, under which stood the lamplight .r,
who Wormed him that his house had b .en entered and
robbed ; witness proceeded instantly down stairs into the
shop and endeavoured to open the door, but it was lin,
pregnable, being secured with a rope, which the robbers
hail made fast to the knocker, and to the rails of the
adjoining house to prevent any of the family get•ing
out and pursuing them; at length the cord was loosed
by the lamplighter, and on a light beingprocured it was
discovered that the robbers had effected their entrance
by taking out a pannel of one of the shutters, and re-
moving a square of glass from the shop float with a
glazier's diamond, though which a boy must have en-
teed, and then have given entrance to the rest of the'
gang by unbolting the shop door. The shop was almost
emptied of its stock in trade , comprising tin and copper ;
ware, fix. lice. On the morning of the robbery, passing j
through Boston-place, be saw sitting on a bank by the
side of a field, the three prisoners, Crawlerd and the two
Dixons; all three on seeing bins tied acros s the fields.
Witness did not follow them, hut took his station in
concealment, and having mentioned the circlet mstance to.
a person named Fenn, they jointly watched their ma-
nceuvres ; whilst there the prisoner Thompson came up
to the hank, with a donkey in a cart, but seeing he was
observed by witness, lie took the donkey from the shafts,
and retreated. On going to the bank again, they dis-
covered part of the stolen property lying in the (Blab
underneath, together with some articles of dress belong
in to the prisoners.
The prisoners, who offered nothing in their defence,
were fully committed for trial.

UNION HA LL.—Aboy,.named White, who was dressed
like a sailor, was brought before L. B. ALLart, Esq.
charged with hawing imposed upon several persons.
Mr. Thomas, a granary keeper at Horselydown, stated
that the prisoner came to his wharf on Monday last, and
represented himself to be the son of a captain of one of
his (witness's) barges, and that the barge, which was on
its passage from Maidstone to London, was at Gravesend,
but would be in the River next tide. The boy spoke in
such a manner, that no doubt was entertained of the
truth of what he said. He then mentioned that he was
in want of a lodging until his father should arrive, and
requested the assistance of the witness, who immediately
had a lodging provided for him at the Rose public house
in the neighbourhood. The following morning, the
prisoner, on getting up, went to the landlord of the pub-
lic house in which be slept, repeated to him what he had
stated MAIL Thomas, requested the loan of five shillings.
and promised to discharge the debt the moment the Cap.
tab arrived; the money was leot to him; the barge ar•
rived io two days, and the master was informed that his
moo was waiting for him at the Rose public house most
anxiously. The barge master was astonished to hear dint
his son was is London, and went to ask him the cause,
but upon being introduced to the prisoner as the father
of the boy, he was astonished to see a person whom he
bad never seen Wine.

The boy did not persist io claiming the barge master
for a father, but be appeared quite indifferent as to the,
comequences of his deception. Upoo further inquiries,
it was (good that the prisoner bad saccesefully practises,

from the south west ; tue greatest part of the bay has
been well got, and the corn looks beautiful, sp,cially
wheat,. which promises fair for an abundant crop.

Leiters from Preston mention• a most atrocious a•_
tempt to assassinate S. Horrocks, Esq., (one of the mem-
bers for that borough), on his return from church on
Sunday last, by a wretch who followed him to a retired
part of the town, and attacked him with a butcher's
cleaver. Mr. Horrocks,after receiving sonic very seriods
wounds on the head and arms, prevented Ole 'assassin's
murderous purpose by wresting the instrument front
him. The villain was immediately secured, and
been committed to Lancaster Castle. He avowed as a
reason for this act, that he considered Mr. Hormel.*
bad injured the interests of the town, and he had there.
fore meditated his destructisu for upwards of two years.
We are happy to hear that Mr. Horrocks is doing well
and pronounced out of danger.

CORONeR'S Iseuese.—Yeaterday, at one o'clock an in-
quest was held at the King's Arms, Chelsea, before T.
STIRLING, Esq. Coroner for the Western Division of Mid-
dlesex, on the body of Eliza Anthony, aged Iff, who was
supposed to have been murdered by Dyson, who has under-
cone several examination+ at Queen-square Police Office.—
The Jury being sworn, they proceeded to view the body.
which was in a horrid state of pterefection. O i the return
of the Jury, it was intimated to the Coroner, Ina the body
of the deceased had been opened by two surgeons at the
request of a Mr. Wood, who, it appeared, had represented
that it was with his (Mr. Stirling's) permission. The sur-
geons were not preseut. Mr. Stirling assured the Jury that
his name had been used unwarrantably, and felt very indig-
nant at the manlier in which the body had been mutilated.
Weald. the officer of Queen-square, who apprehended Dy-
son, stated to the Coroner that he fouud it impossible to-
summon the necessary witnesses, as it was only oue hour
before that he knew that the inquest wasto take place ; and
after some conversation between the Coroner and Jury, it
was resolved to adjourn tue inquest, when Weald received
orders to summon every person who was most likely to
throw any light on the wetter. Weald wished to know
whether they desired the ateendanee of the prisoner to give
evidence, as In that case it would be necessary for the
Coroner to sign an order for the removal of his person he-
fore them. The Jury thoeght it would be necessary to have
the prisoner ►rought forward. The inquest was then ad-
journed until nine o'clock this morning, by wh.ah time
Weald pledged himself to have every necessary evidt nce-
The body was ordered to be rembved to the workhouse,
with instructions to suffer the prisoner, or ■ny surgeon he
might think proper to select, to Inspect the bad)•.
