YARDLEY—Did you lose anything? Mr. Baldwin—l don't know that I did. I had bank-notes in my pocketbook. and they attempted to take it. There were only a few halfpence in my pocket. I was not very sober, Sir. The prisoner, on being asked if he had any questions to ask, said he was at Rotherhithe-stairs, on the Surrey shore, when he saw the gentleman come down and walk straight towards the River, and he called out. to him, " Mind where you are going." The gentleman came towards him, and appeared to be very tipsy, and lie said, " You had better be oil away from me." The gentleman stopped twenty minutes, and he asked him what he wanted, to which the gentleman replied that he wanted a boat. irectly after that the gentleman got into conversation with five or six other watermen, who took him to a public-house, and washed the blood off his face, and cleaned it. The gentleman had a fall before he came to the plying place. ➢lr. Baldwin said he fell down and cut his face before he came to the plying place for a boat. He cut his eye. His face was wiped by the watermen. The prisoner I was at home when the gentleman went into the boot. I went home before he went over the water. Mr. Baldwin - I am certain he was in the boat when I was thrown overboard.  The prisoner—l rowed the gentleman over by myself to this side of the river. He would go back again with other watermen. I was not with him. Did you not ask for change for a 2'l. note in the public-house over the waer ? Mr. Baldwin—l was in the public-house, and pulled a 20/. note out of my pocket and asked for change, but I put it in my pocket-book again. They tried to get at my pocketbook, but could not, and knocked me clean overboard. I saw the prisoner afterwards taken from behind a barge while I was dripping with wet and bleeding from the mouth. The prisoner said he went behind a barge to relieve a call of nature, and not to conceal himself.  Alexander Cowe, of 63, Anchor and Hope-alley, Wapping, said he was en engineer, employed at Pavitt's steam flourmills, at Execution dock, and on Tuesday night, soon after 12 o'clock, he was in the mill, and heard cries of " Murder!" and "Police!" proceeding from the river. He listened, and the cries continued, becoming fainter, and accompanied with a "suffocating noise." Not being able to reach the waterside from the back of the mill, he went round to the front, and saw the prosecutor struggling in the water and get out and come up the steps of the plying-place. He went to his assistance, and the prosecutor said, "They have been robbing me, and thrown me overboard." At that moment he saw the prisoner running by the side of a barge on the shore, and he endeavoured to conceal himself. Witness ran alter him, and he said, " It's not me what did if, it's not me." Witness said, " No one said it was you," and detained him until a policeman came.  Police-constable Miller, Iv 5 K, stated that a carman, or a man named Carman, saw the prisoner shove off with tae boat, and had promised to attend, but had f iled to do so in consequenceot an engagement elsewhere.  sir. YARDLEiILYOU must get him here, and make further inquiries about this matter. I shall remand the prisoner till Saturday next.  Policeman Smith, 200 K, said the prosecutor had 601. or 701. in bank-notes in his pocket-book when he came to the station-house.  Mr. YARDLEY said the prosecutor should have mentioned that before, and that he bad no occasion to be afraid of doing so in that court.  A young Waterman applied for the restoration of his boat It bad been taken away by three men for the purpose of tak ing the prosecutor away and robbing him. Mr.
