Charge of Robbery: Hugh Robert Macklin, Henry Osborne, Mary Macklin and Susannah Paul, were brought up before Sir Chapman Marshall, on Thursday, at the Guildhall for further examination, charged with stealing a gold chain, value 20 guineas, two silver spoons, a large quantity of wearing apparel, together with a valuable collection of Roman cameos, jewellery, and other articles of vertu, the property of Mrs. Pincent, at present residing at Inspruck. The case has already been briefly stated. The following was the additional evidence now taken: “George Wardell said he went to No. 26 Chancery Lane, the house of a Mr. Toogood, where he saw Hugh Macklin’s sister-in-law, who immediately placed the cameo in his possession, which Mary Macklin stated she gave her. She was unable to attend and give evidence in consequence of ill-health. He produced the cameo, which was without any setting. He had inquired at various jewellers, and ascertained the value, in its present state, to be about five guineas. He wished the Alderman to remand the prisoners for a week, as there was a party deeply implicated in the robbery who was not at present in custody, and whom it would be necessary to obtain time to apprehend, as also for the purpose of tracing the remainder of the property which had been stolen. Bail was again taken for Susannah Paul, and the case was remanded for further evidence.
