THOMAS SIMMONS.I am in the silk line,and like in St Paul's church-yard.On the 26th of October I had been dining and spending the evening with a friend;I was a little worse for liquor,and was in Hatton garden;on my return home at half past twelve o'clock at night the two prisoners accosted me ;I did not know what they said,but they walked with me,and a little before I got to Holborn I missed my watch;I had not been up any turning with them;I laid hold of them both,requested them to give me my watch,and called a policeman -he came up,and took it from Collins;I do not know which of them took it. ANDREW HARVEY.I am a police-officer.I was on duty about half past twelve o'clock;when I got to the corner of Hatton garden I heard the prosecutor say"Give me my watch"I went up and Collins gave me this watch out of her hand;I took both prisoners,with the assistance of my brother officer -in going along one of them said she knew nothing of the other party;the other said she told her to take it.(property produced and sworn to) DANIEL HUMPHREYS.I was on the opposite side-the officer called me;I saw the prosecutor and the prisoners.I took hold of Collins- in going up Hatton garden I said"Did you take the watch" she said "No ,the other one took it and gave it to me"I do not think the other heard that-when we got to the station Collins said she took it,but the other told her to take it;Rowley was present all the while,and said she knew nothing about it. Collins Defence.I met this gentleman in Holborn,he asked me to take part of his umbrella,and then took me up Hatton garden,and asked me to stop with him all night-but he said he had no money,but would give me the watch;he took his watch out,and gave it into my hand-we turned a side to have a little private conversation;he then said he was robbed of his watch,called a policeman,and gave us in charge. COLLINS-GUILTY.Aged 25 Recommended to mercy by the jury,believing it to be her first offence. Transported for Seven Years. ROWLEY-NOT GUILTY
