JOSEPH BENTLEY . I have been a non-commissioned officer. On the 14th of January, about half-past nine oclock at night, I was in Hemming s-row, just by Leicester-square , the prisoner and another girl came up on each side, and asked me to go with them, I refused; the prisoner then asked if I would give them something to drink - by that time, I had got nearly in the middle of the row, and when I refused, the prisoner made a jump at my breast, laid hold of my brooch, and tore it from my shirt; she tore my shirt, it was done in an instant. Immediately after the grasp, I received a blow on the left side of my head, I cannot say who from - I turned round, and a gentleman said ‘Take care of your watch, Sir.’ I took hold of my watch-chain, pushed the prisoner away, and I think she fell down - the blow I received knocked my hat off, I picked it up, felt for my brooch, and it was gone; I ran to fetch the watchman, I noticed the prisoner had a scar under her nose I found a watchman in St. Martin s-lane, and told him the girls were coming round a corner into St. Martin s-lane - I seized the prisoner and gave her in charge, I am sure she is the woman, she was secured in three minutes. My brooch was found by Jones; the other girl escaped as soon as the prisoner was seized. On the Sunday following, Jones s father came to me, and said his son had found the brooch, and he had pawned it for 2 s.; the Magistrate ordered it to be delivered to me. JAMES MACK . I and the watchman, took the prisoner in charge. WILLIAM JONES . On the 14th of January, about a quarter before ten o clock at night. I found this brooch about the middle of Hemming s-row, on the pavement; I gave it to my father. RICHARD JONES . I am a watchman of St. Martin s. The evening after the robbery, my wife informed me my son had found a brooch, he gave it to me, I had some rent to make up, and pawned it - I afterwards redeemed it. Prisoner s Defence.
