Brant Renuelttes.*--Yesterday JOAN hunt. a lad
not more than sixteen
R. Bums, Esq. at Bow-street, charged with robbing
a Mr. Barrett, of his watch.
It appeared in evidence that as Mr. Barrett was
passing along Busselbstreet, Covent-garden, between
ton and eleven o'clock on Wednesday night, his arms
were soddenly seized by some person behind him, and
he was firmly held in that position whilst the prisoner
deliberately extracted his watch from his fob, and ran
off with it down Charles-street. Mr. Barrett, by a
desecrate effort, shook utf the person who had seized
hint, and followed, crying " stop thief!" but be had
not run more than fifty or sixty yards before lie was
thrown down by some of the gang with such violesce
as to deprive hint, fur some moments, of all sensation.
The al ,rm, however, had been given, and the prisoner
WAS taken, with the watch in his po . ion, at the
southampton-street end of Tavistock-street.
These were the main facts of the charge; but Mr.
Barr. tt, who spoke a pure Lancashire dialect, and ac-
companied every sentence with violent gesticulation,
heggeil to inform the Magistrate, that as soon as he
could " gather himself up" front his fall, and " serape
the mud off his eyes," he went to C•.vent-garden
watch-house, whither he heard the prisoner had been
j taken, and asked him, " Thou scoundrel, tb. u, why
AMR thou rub me of my watch ?•"let which the pri-
gs replied, " Because I wanted it :•'
The prisoner an fully cu itted to Newgate for
highway robbery.
James /tardy was ski fully committed for robbing
Mr. Meyler, a solicitor, of his gold watch and seals,
at the curlier iif tissell-court, a fen nig Is t‘ ago.

. .
C. Mryler, who is an elderly, iootiron tutu, stated
that just as he nes turning out of Ifrury-lat • into
Russell-court, he was startled by soma- per-on iiiiis•
pering in Moo ear '• Von are a -- 1.• or '•' ato,l whilst
he was in the act of turning to look at the person who
had so strangely aro•osted him, the prisoner stiate.so•d
his watch, and g.at clear off with it.
It appeared by further eviolessee, however, that the
prisoner, not satisfied with this booty, tocoole a sunlit
alleluia within.the next halt hour, upon a gentleman
passing through St. Martin's court ; bast in this at
tempt he faileol, and the grnticmait controlled hinocelt
with gising hint a lolou user the head fur Isis pains.
which so enraged the prisoner that he offered to light:
the gentleman. and Itlathe sat IllUEll disturbance that the
patrol took charge of iiiin for bring disorderly. Thi•
led to his oletes•ti n as the rob: er of Mr. Mryler, for
being brought tat this Mitre, he was instantly reeog-
Inixed ht- that gentleman.
Ise% mora Ts. INS se rt. N.—Yeste day,— Cunoc, a
, young man was brought up so Marlborough-street of-
I See, charged with au assault under very extraooroli-
lairy o•ircunistances, upon a young woman to whom
he WAS married. It appeared in evioleace, that the
'Prisoner, who ha.) 'wen about the streets in the most

'proposed inatrintooy, (after a short acquaintance)
which was a. readily avepted by the girl. The eery-
'
was wade of receiving tlee money in order that they
might proceed in liveliness; they accordingly tramped
to tlw Bank, where the husband pocketed the money
and immediately olecauspeol from lois wife. Mr, 1at5....-
ever, some time after met her hushand, whom she re-
proached with the ingratitude of his conduct, which
he replied to with a violent blow, of which she bore
evident marks. The prisoner unit off rapidly, but
was overtaken by a eons able. After an examination, 1
he was ordered to find bail.
