11 ARIABOSOUGII•STIVIIIT.--FOOTPAD It Y IS
Hrne-Paett.—Yesterday, James Asestry, a youn_ man
possessing the appearance of a soldier, was charged with
a footpad robbery.
It appeared in eridence that a young woman, named
Mary Ann Ward, was on Wednesday night creasing
Hyde-park from Piccadilly, and when advanced near the
first cluster of trees. the prisoner and a man in a soldier's
dress sprang from behind, and knocked her down, and
dragged her some distance by the hair oilier head along
the ground, and robbed her of her shawl and a handle.
Sbe called several times for help. Two young men, pie-
sengers, near the Piccadilly-gate, hearing the cry, raa
to her usistince, and she pointed out the nrisoner, who
had retired behind the trees, and was covering himself
with a white smock frock. as one of the robbers. After a
scuffle he was secured. On being searched, he hid a
bundle, containing a regimental flannel jacket and shirt,
and also a fustian frock; in his pockets were found 14s.
6d. in silver and some halfpence. The young woman.
before the Magistrate, firmly reiterated her confilence
that the prisoner was one of the men who had attacked
her : the night was moon-light, and she saw them plain :
he had on during the robbery a military stock, the po- i
lish of which glistened in the moon-light. Thie stock i
was round his neck when brought to the watch:house.—
Plank, the officer, examined him. and &n/Id he was '
dressed in military breeches, shirt, and braces; a:4lmm '
the cut of his hair and,otkheatireemntances, the vilicer
pronounced him re La weieldiamr.• or deserter, the had
taken great trouble to diardeelsinaselt. .
The prisoner, in his defence, denied the cheep; ;
but the Magistrate finally Committed him to Newgide '
for trial.
