Benjamin Watts, Samuel Finch, the younger, & Henry Clark, were charged with having stolen from the person of James Humm, a silver watch, on the night of Saturday last. Humm stated that he was proceeding home along the Mersea road, and when a short distance from the town he was met by two women and a man, who stopped to talk to him; two men, one of whom was Clark, then jumped over the hedge: Clark gave Humm a push and he fell down, and whilst down was rolled over and over, and tumbled about by all the party. In two or three minutes they left him and ran away across the fields ; Humm not up and felt for his watch but it was gone. Humm returned to Colchester, and whilst communicating his loss to his father, Clark came down the road and was accused of stealing the watch, upon which he gave Humm a blow and ran away He was afterwards apprehended.
