MARLBOROUGH-STREET. The detective Hnggett yesterday came to the court and produced the watch stolen from the woman murdered in the Haymarket. The watch is a very small one, made by Vieyres, and can be identified as the property of the unfortunate woman. There was also a ring found, which formed part of the stolen property. When the prisoner was committed on Monday be was placed in the gaoler's room, well guarded, while a cab was sent for. The only symptom of fear displayed by the prisoner was when he was called to leave the court. Believing that he should be taken ont by the front entrance, before which an excited mob had assembled, he shrank into the corner, exclaiming in terror, " The people, the people :" When he found he was to be removed privately by the back way he recovered his natural manner, and on ;the road laughed and jested in a way to show that he was utterly regardless of the serious position in which he was placed. John Beal, alias Etterin, was charged with having with other persona garotted and robbed George Johmon, lic'3nsecl victualler, 0, Bear-street,  Mr. Johnson stated that on Tuesday, July 28, about 3 in the morning, the prisoner and thr.de other men came to his house just as he was closing, and were served with refreshment before the bar. He missed one of the prisoner's companions, and in a minute afterwards he was suddenly seized by some one behind, an arm was thrown round his neck, and he was choked in the manner termed gilrotting. He retained sufficient consciousness to be able to see the prisoner and his other companions come round into the bar and rifle his pimketa. They took from his pocket a watch which had been deposited with him by one of the garot!ers for a score of 125., about 20s. in silver, and four sovereigns from his trousers pocket. He struggled very much, but at last became insensible, and when he came to himself he found he was alone and bleeding from the nose and mouth. He went out and spoke to Police-constable Batty and told him what had happened. . _ .  Wm. Batty, A. 318, said that, about 20 minutes to 5 o'clock on the morning in question he saw the prisoner and another man come out of Mr. Johnson's house and walk rapidly away. He had previously seen another man and two women come out of the same house. About half an hour after the prosecutor came to him bleeding, and said he had been garotted. He wont into the house and found it in confusion. There were appearances of a struggle—pots and broken glasses were strewn about the bar.  Police-sergeant Glass, C 3, said that from inforMation he received he went with several constables, about 4 o'cicck in the morning, to No. 6, Thomasplace, Lambeth-walk. He knocked at the streetdoor, but found it secured, and no answer was returned. The door was forced, and on entering he found the prisoner in a room on the groundfloor, partly dressed. He told the prisoner ho was charged with being one of a gang who had assaulted and robbed Mr. Johnson in July last; The prisoner replied, "Very well, I'll go with you." Seeing the prisoner put his hands iu his pocket, he seized his hand, and took from it the knife he now produced. He took the prisoner into the street, and after walking a shoat distance the prisoner became suddenly violent, struggling awl kicking furiously, and calling out, " If I could get hold of one thing you should not forget me." With some difficulty the prisoner's legs were secured with a strap, and he was then lodged in the stationhouse. Prisoner—Was I sober ?  Witness—l should say you were not quite sober. Inspactor Webb said he should be prepared with evidence next Wednesday to prove that the prisoner was a returned transport. Mr. Beadon consented to a remand for a week.
