e Aldermen Caskie, Bray, Anderson, and Clopton, stating as an examining court yesterday in the Sergeant's office, City Hall, charged with robbing Ambrose Barrett, a resident of Chester field, of his pocket book, containing $107 and seventy cents worth of portage stamps, on the 17th day of February. The evidence showed that the robbery was effected at Ford's drinking house, corner Cary and Virginia streets, in a very bold and audacious manner, the prisoner seizing the money of Barrett as that individual was counting it, though he was prevented from carrying it off by a prompt arrest.

Mr. Daniel, the Commonwealth's Attorney, conducted the prosecution, and the accused was defended by Mr. G. Dabney Wootton. The accused was sent to jail for final trial before Judge Lyons, on the 3d Monday in May next.
