TAUNTON. William Brown, aged 22, and Matilda Binnion, aged 21, were indicted for assaulting and robbing Frederick Campart of a silver watch and some silver, at Pill-hill, in this county. The prosecutor deposed that he was a private soldier in the 3d Dragoon Guards, quartered at Clifton, and on the 10th of July last, about two o'clock in the morning, he met the female prisoner near the White Lion, Bristol. After some conversation he accompanied her to a place called Pill-hill. When they got there another female, two men, and a boy, met them. The prisoner Brown, who was one of the men, came up, and said d -n you, you have got my wife, and immediately knocked him down, and then robbed him of a silver watch, a ring, and a silver watch guard, all of which were in his watch fob. The others held him down, and prevented his struggling. After some difficulty he made his escape. In his cross-examination, the witness admitted that before the Magistrate he said Brown took the silver guard off his neck. He might have said that which was untrue when not on his oath, but now he had six ken the truth. Thomas Shearman, a constable, saw both the prisoners together at three o'clock in the morning on the day in question, in Temple-street, leading from Pill-hill to Bristol. ...
