Thu 29 Apr 1841. Page 2 CHARGE OF ROBBERY.-A man named Andrew White yesterday appeared at the police office to prefer a charge of robbery against James Barlow and his wife Catherine. White stated that on Monday, being in liquor, but yet perfectly sensible and able to take care of himself, he went to the house of the prisoners, in Kent.street, about three o'clock in the afternoon, and that he had no sooner reached the door than the woman seized him by the neck, while her husband thrust his hands into prosecutor's pockets, and took out a pound note and some silver.
