SIMEART EJECTIRENT.--111liant Sonia, a tall sturdy fellow, lately discharged from the Life Guards, was brought before Sir Roust Bann, yesterday, charged with some six or seven dis. duet nuusiks, turning a whole family out of their own house, berielieg the watchmen, etc.—The house chosen for this display at Ids prowess was the tap of the Golden Cross, Charing-cross, sod se vigorously had he exerted himself, that the landlady and Several other persons were unable to appear against him in consequence of the bruises he bad given them.—As it was, however, there was a whole host of witnesses, and from their statement it appeared, that the defendant slept at the Golden Cross tap on Monday night, and on Tuesday evening he proposed sleeping there again, when he was informed that before he could have a bed be must pay for his first night's lodging. He replied that he had paid the chambermaid for it; this wan denied, and an altercation ensued, which ended in his turning the whole family, landlord, landlady, waiters, chambermaid, and postbuys all into the street together; and then barricading himself in, be sat 'down at his ease before the fire, and for more than half an hour the prisoner retained perfect possession of the house, notwithstanding a crowd of people, headed by a posse of watchmen, were strenuously endeavouring to gain admidsion.— At length the landlady bethought her of a window which remained open at the back of the premises, and through this window she instantly made her eistrie, without informing nay one else; but she had no sooner done so than defendant seized her in his arms, threw her against the stairs, kicked her on the loins as she lay on the ground, and finally attempted to twist her neck. Her screams now gave fresh stimulus to the people without, and they burst open the door and rescued her from further violence. This was the case as stated by the complainants ; but the defendant gave a very different account of the affair. According to his statement, he was compelled to clear the house in his own defence, the whole family falling upon him tooth and nail, because he refused to piy twice over for his bed. He was ordered to find bail to answer the various assaults at the Sessions. STREET ROBBERIES,-.4401 Beek, James Biggs, and H. Lambert, underwent an examination before Sir Wilma., BAKER, charged with robbing Mr. Thomas Barber, of Lamb's Conduit-street, • jeweller. Monday night, about nine o'clock, as he was passing along Lamb's Conduit-street, accompanied by his wife, • he received a violent push on his right arm, which turned him round, from a man who he believed to be the prisoner Lambert, and at the same time a violent snatch was made at his watch-chain and seals, which fortunately broke and saved his watch. The prisoners were committed for'trial.  The following most atrocious robbery was committed on Monday, at Greenwich, and information was given of it yesterday afternoon at the Public Office, Bow-street:—Mrs. Walding, the wife of a Gentleman's coachman, occupies the house, No. 12, Alfred's-buildings, Greenwich, the next dwelling to which is uninhabited. On Saturday she was in the house alone, and at eleven o'clock in the morning, a man, dressed rather shabby genteel, knocked at the door, and asked her if the next house was to let, as he wished to look at it?• She said it was, but she had not the key, and was about to shut the. door, when be rushed in, and, seizing her by the throat, said he was come for money, and money he must have. She escaped from his grasp, and ran up stairs, intending to give an alarm from the window ; but the villain followed her closely, and just as she reached the landing-place, he knocked her down With some heavy instrument, and swore, if she made any noise, he would murder her. He then tore nut her ear-rings, cutting both her ears through in doing it, and beat her about the head until she was senseless. She continued in that state, as she believes, for more than an hour, and when she recovered bet senses, she with difficulty procured assistance from a neighbour, and it was found that the ruffian had broken every lock in the house, and had stolen £lO in Bank-notes, a watch, and a considerable quantity of wearing apparel. The husband of the woman gave information of the robbery, and added, that his wile was not expected to recover the effects of her wounds. A very accuvite description was given of the robber, who, it is hoped, will not long escape the 2tinishment he so richly merits.  VALUABLE REVERSION To MONEY or Tin FUNDS,  AND • POLICY or
