MARYLEBONE. Thomas Puzey, George Reeves, and Anne Collett, were placed at the bar before Alr. Yardley on remand, charged with robbery, and also with the attempted murder of Mrs. Sarah Greeen, a widow lady residing at 5, Fulhamplace, Paddington. Mr. Venn, solicitor, of 3, New-inn, Strand, appeared for the male prisoners. Inspector Braddick said he had only one additional witness to be examined. Miss Louisa Duffy was then called, and said,—l live with my mother at 27Victoria-place,Westbournegrove (the address given by Reeves). lam the daughter of the householder. Reeves lodges in the house. I know both of the other prisoners, whom I have seen at our house. I have seen all of them there together at one time. I remember the 24th of October, the time of the attempted murder and robbery. I then saw all the three prisoners at the house. They came in at different times. I mean the two men came in together and went out together. They left our house about 8 o'clock in the evening, after having been there, I should think, about an hour. The woman was there the same night. She came to the house about 6. She went out again, as near as I can think, about half-past 8. She returned to the house again between 9 and 10. The two men went out before she did, about 8 o'clock. When the woman went out and returned again I am not aware if the two men returned with her. If they returned that night it must have been late. -Reeves had one room in the house. When the male prisoner Puzey and the woman came to the house they all went to Reeves's room. I have seen all three together. They were all three in the room on the night in question. I cannot say positively whether previously to this I have seen them all three together. ;Both the man Puzey and the man Collett have been to our house before this. I have seen Puzey in Reeves's room. On the evening of this robbery I cannot, from my own knowledge, say how Reeves was dressed. Ido not know whether the other man had a hat or cap on, but I rather  think he had. Inspector Steer, D division, produced a kind of rifle corps cap, with a peak, which was found at Puzey's lodgings. Witness would not swear to this as the cap. Puzey had then the same whiskers as he has now. Reeves had a hat on and a moustache. I saw Reeves on the following morning. He left about 10, along with Puzey. I saw them go out. I saw Reeves again three or four days after. He was only at his lodgings once or twice after, so that I cannot tell how long he wore moustaches after that. I saw Reeves again on the Saturday. The day of the robbery was Thursday. I cannot say when he called at our place, or if he had a moustache on. I did not see them come home on the night of the 24th of October, but I believe they did, as I saw them go out at 10 the next morning. I only infer from the fact of seeing them both go go out together. I saw the woman again on the following Saturday evening. She asked for Reeves, and I said he was out, and she went away. Mr. Yardley—Mr. Venn, have you any questions to put to the witness ? Mr. Vann—Only one, sir. What time do you say it was when Reeves left the house, and was Puzey with him. Witness—l believe it was about 8, and Puzey was with him. Inspector Steer said—l entered the house after the robbery, and picked up a life preserver, a mask, and a chisel. Mr. Yardley—We will take that statement upon the next occasion. Inspector Braddick said that the evidence adduced was all he had at present, with the exception of Mr. Steer's. Mr. Yardley said the evidence was most important, and that now he should remand the case till Wednesday next.
