SUTTLINO HOUSE AT TIIE HORSE GUARDS. —This public-house, which is in the disposal of the three Stnior Generals of the Foot Guards, has lately caused considerable contention; and Mr. Pluckwell, the present possessor (who took it frum the executors of the person who died in it, without having obtained the approbation of the Officers of the Guards), has had no less than three cr four preliminary hearings at Queen-square, in answer to an information for selling lamas without a license. It is rather t curious case, aad was several times postponed from the ina bility of Counsel to attend. At length, the reports of the proceedings at Qtieen-square drew the wen lioo of the Board of Excise, and when the case was last fixed to come on before the Magistrates of that "ice, the Solicitor to that Board attended the, e, and convinced all parties, that by a very late Act of Parliament the subject of Licenses had been transferred to the Excise, and therefore the Ma gistrates bad no jurisdiction. It so happens that the ti.r.se Guard s is extra-parochial, and within the jurisdiction of the Board of Green Cloth, who only "el 6 lite a year at the subject of licenses.— "hi. Board, refusing to hack the old license held by l'iackuell, and as the Officc:s, to whom the house !!

Theie two prisoners were caoitallt indicted, ba ndy for burglarinusly breaking into the house of James Poole, and stealing therein 30 yards of cloth ; and Vaughan for Counselling, aiding, and abetting him in the same, on the 16th ot December, 1815. The ATTORNET•GeNZRAL, in his official capacity in opening the case to the Jury,,said, that •the pri soner Vaughan, holding an office of the greatest trust and confidence, had already been convicted in another place of a must atrocious conspiracy, and was brought tip this day to receive the verdict.of the Court for aiding and abetting in a burglary. For the last century we had lived under the persuasion that the dreadful crime of conspiracy had entilely lost its name in society, but unfortunately the con. trary had been proved to be the case. A most dis tressing conspiracy had been discovered, and it was the duty of all men who had the interest and wel- 1 1 fare of their country at heart to investigate it with all its difficulties and ramifications. When extraor dinary crimes were committed, extraordinary means of detection must be resorted to. The most expeii. enced Magistrates of the Metropolis had minutely inquired into this important subject. The investiga tion had been long, painful, and anxious, and the result had been that the prisoners had been commit ted for their trial before a jury of their country, who would satisfy the'demands of public justice as well as of public alarm and anxiety, and who would give confidence to the public that such dreadful and atro cious crimes would from this day never again recur. After having stated the general facts of the case to the jury, he called— Lines Poole, who was by business a tailor and'' drap_r, and lived in Everett-street, Russell-square. On the 15th of December last, Vaughan, in com pany with Barrett, about '2O minutes hetore five o'clock came to his house. It was at that time too daik to work at his business. Vaughan said, , 4 My Immo is Vaughan, I am a Bow street Meer," and gave witness his card. He added, " I know that your house is marked out to be robbed, and I am Conk!, it you will let me, to take the men. This is Barrett, my brotlitr Officer. I know they are very bad characters, and noted housebreakers; and if you do'nt let us take them, they will no doubt come when you are fast asleep, and most likely you, or same ut your family, will be murdered." By these persuasions he consented to do as the of advised Lim. The advice they gave was to mark the cloth, which was already merked with a shop mai k, w ith another mark, and to lay it on the counter. Vaughan took up the sheers and cut little pieces off some calico, and put them on the counter after having inked them. 'file officers cam: about halt an hoar before the thieves came : Vaughan and Barrett re mained ugly a quarter ot an hour in the house, and then went out with the witness. Tue bey came into the shop while the officers were there, in order to light the lamp; but Vaughan ordered it to be put out, not telling his reason for it. The prisoner then de sired witness not to boit the tiotr, but to take care and fasten it on the latch, and to be sure of that-- Witness, Vaughan, and Barrett, went solos the way to a Mr. Anderson's, for the prpose ul watching for the thieves. Young Mr. Ander,un knew Vaughan. And witness left them there ; but before he quitted, !)oth Barrett and Vaughan said to him, o Yon may home and mark any of the large ri pis and put thew in the way, for (added they) .• you lose none." He then went hJm5, took a sod looked ioand the stielvei, but inissed.nun. Che c mole was placed in the back valour, leaving no light iv the soup. He told his wire to sit by, if she thought l imper, and placed the boy upon the stairs Lacing the passage do r, where lie could not be seen by any one coming into the slop. Having made l these preparations, he quitted the house; and, as he was directed by the officer, put the door upon the latch, and went out by another door. Witness was . the second time hat lily ten minutes in his house ; it NAS then a few minutes past five ("cluck; and having an appointmenZ to keep in Mecktenbuigh square, Le .vent there, and ieturne.d home in Aiwa ten minutes. Independent tit any to fight, ttete was 1:,1:1t enough to distingUtbn the lace of a man ;rnen witness lett his strop. The ArroaNEY-GENERAL, with the approbation of the Bench, mentioned to the Jury, that in conse quence ot the tesimuny of the last witness, it was resolved to give up the greater charge of burglary, and to proceed my on the minor crime of stealing in a dwelling-house. - Examination continued.—When witness was re turning home, he saw two men coining out of his shop, who turned out to be ltawley and Betts. He met Rawley with a woollen roll under his arm iu Bernardstreet, and seeing no officer near him, he turned round and ran after him. Having got close to Itim, he threw the cloth down under witness's feet. Notwithstanding this, he pursued Rawley, and caught him near the Foundling Hospital. Immedi ately Vaughan and Barrett came up. A man of the name of Farthiug was i;tterward , taken by the offi cers. Witness, when he returned home, found three pieces of cloth missing. About eleven o'clock the same night, Vaughan and Barrett came again to his lu.use, and Staving told diem that he had lost his cloth, Vaughan said," You have spoiled the job, by crying Stop Thief,' for I knew where to have gone to have found the thieves dividing the cloth." Vaughan afterwards restored the piece of cloth, which Rowley had thrown down, but about three yards and a quar ter short of measure. The other two pieces witness never saw again. Rawley, Batts, and Farthing, were committed for the robbery at Bow-street ; and at the trial at the Old Bail, witness and Vaughan gave evidence against tam. The prisoners were acquitted of burglary, but were convicted of stealing in a dwelling-house. Vaughan afterwards observe! to witness, " You have leaned too much towards the prisoners by saying it was too light. You have de prived me ot the three it4o, part of which you would have bad." Croskezamined.—sever took any precautiassi against the robbery, but took Veughan's direction. Robert Embleton Anderson, rived at No. 29, Everett-street' almost opposite Mr. Poole's house. — On the 15th of . December last, that Gentleman, and Vaughan and Barrett, came to his house $ and Vaughan said, " Mr. Poole's house is this night to be robbedi and I should wish, if you will allow me, o remain le 7onr bogie Irate edepred ators. " ••ert. ; -••••••• 6 l At Vaughan's request no Lights *ere adriiitted into the front shop, in order that the rubbers Might not observe him. Witnesi remained to observe the. transaction, .out of curiosity, and saw two or thit.e individuals go into Mr. Potfie's h6n,e by the front dour. He observed a tall thin man I....ailing' nver the rails of the house, as if watching tor soon►ebody corn. ing from the parlour into the shop, with a long brown great coat on, and a pair of high.lotv' shoe's. Two men came presently out—one a young man, dressed as a s tilor, with a bundle of cloth tender his arm.— The alarm was given—the of f icers left the paFs.tge of his house, and witness followed. He lost sight of the two men, but the tall man whom he had observ. ed before, with x long browu great coat on, cressed the street and. ran between the two officers. He was so near that they conli converse, and they all stop ped a few seconds, apparently speaking to one ano• titer. Witness then lost sight of the two officers, and followed the tall tn:Al: he observed him stop to pull up hi.. stockings. lie walktd round him and •exa• mined him, but did not take him, het:Aust• he thoutzlst he had no business with him, as the aficers were after him. Witness could not swear that the prisiner Donelly was the man, but he believed him to be the same. His gait was the same. Cross-examined.-Dinielly was quite in a different dress when he was taken up to that when witness saw him in the street. It was then very daft. Joseph Saunders was a gold watch case-maker, and lived at No. 5, Ragwell-court. In December last . lived in Portpoo,l-lane; knew the prisoner at the bar, as well as Batts, Rateley, and FArthing ; and recollected seeing John Dolleny at the Falcon public r house, Portpool-lane, Gray's Inn lane, on December the 15th, in company with Batts, Rawley, and Far thing ; this was between three and five o'clock. At five o'clock tb"y all went out, and about nine o'clock the same evening Donelly came to the window.— Witness went to the door, and Donelly asked him if .1 Funika" was there ?--meaning Vaughan. He told him, no; and invited him into the noose, but he refused, saying, ‘‘ 1 cannot come in, for I am con cerned in a robbery with Itawley and Farthing, who are now in custody." He had seen Donelly and Vaughan drinking at the Falcon together, but not often. Cross examined.—Gut his living now by selling fish. Re-examined.—When he saw Donelly at the win dow, he had a long brown greatcoat on. William Barrett was, in November la't, constable of the city, but was not so in December last. He had known Vaughan for three yeais, and knew Do :telly very well. He was coin:wady called " Jack a-Dandy." He was well acquaiuted with a house kept by Mr. Poole. At the latter end ut November he saw Donelly in Holborn, With two other persons, which led to an intercourse bi.tween witness and Vaughan. Atter that Bonen) , was taktn inro cus tody, but discharged, and Vaughan said, 4 , I should not, but Jack.4-Daady would come it," %Lich naeent to give information upon some robbery. He saw Donelly a few days afterwards in Gray's lon.larse, with Vaughan. Witness and Vauglia,a asked Do nelly if he would give information ai.ysinct, t , :e thieves, but Donelly r:plied, " It I do, they will kill me." Vaughan said, "Never tnind, I will make that aU right ;" and Dolleny agreed to give h&c:nation.— Scon after they all met again, in a public house in Holborn, a!sour: it fortrogrit before Poole's house was broken open. Donelly then said, that he WWI going out that rii,ltt with Batts and Rawley upon the I sneak, ire2aning to go into a house slyly, and that if' any thing were done that night, he should expect his share of the reward. That was agreed upon, and witness was to go with Vaughan to take the prisocers into custody. The party upon the sneak were to go from the Falcon, iii Portpool-lace. and Vaughan and witness were to go and e. , atch them out. On the same evening, betwe, n!, and 5 o'cioett, according to appointment, he and Vaughan went to' a public house nearly oppcsite the Falcon. On the lath, Donelly, Vaughan, and witness, all met at Firth's public house, opposise Gray's Inn-lane, in the fOrenoon. Dorelly, speaking of a robbery the !light before at look's house, said. " D—n it, where did yon lose us last night r Vaughan answered, ~ We lost you in a moment ; I do not know how it was. " Dolled) , said, I went to a Draper's shop rim tia , screw (meaning that he .got in upon the latch), and had sneaked out a piece of broody, (meaning broad cloth.) He added, "Itis as good AS bread ; Long Tom's ahe has pledged it." Thus. Buts was commonly called Long 'Priem, and a woman of the name of Emblin passed at his n ife ; witness asked where the cloth had been pawned, giving as a reason for the question, 4 , if the cloth is obtained the prosecutor will swear to it, and we can convict the prisoner, and obtain the reward." Witness and Vaughan had gone to watch for the prisoners op posite Poole's house. on the night of the I.lth of Dc. cember, but had missed them. Donelly said he could not find the pledge of the cloth, but added, that the same party would set out from the Falcon this night, (the 15th). to Poole's house, and that Vaughan and witness might watch them. Vaughan agreed, and said he would go first and warn Mr. Poole of it, with witness. It was agreed that. the sneak party should start at five o'clock, and Donelly .said, " Mind how you act, that you do not criminate me." Vaughan said, " 0 no, no, I will take care of all that.' Witness and Vaughan then went to the Falcon about two o'clock, and saw there Rawley, Batts, and Farthing. Witness and Vaughan were in the parlour, and the others were in the tap room. fondly, while they were at dinner, came into the parlour, and said, " Take care you are not too late." Vaughan said, " Never fear, I will take care." Vaughan and witness then got aprons to dis guise themselves, and put them in their pockets to go to Mr. Poole's house. They did go, between the hours of four and five. [acre the witness corrobo rated the statement already given by the former wit nesses.] Upon seeing Rawley come out of Poole's shop with a piece of cloth tinder his arm, witness said to Vaughan, 6, We have got them, let us go."— Vaughan said "No, we have not;" notwithstanding . witness went out Of Anderson's door, followed by Vaughan, and ran after Rawley. As soon as lie got to the bottom of the street, Rawley gave the cloth to Batts, who ran towards Brunswick•square. Rawley and Donelly returned towards Poole's house, and wit ness, and Vaughan turned to follow them. Rawley vent again into the shop, and Donelly crossed over to Anderson's side of the way. Rawley 'lieu came P A 0 out of the qlop with nobler piete &rata ulnder arm . , and made, off with it riinnitig:, witness and Vaughan ran after him, and while they were pr./ ruing him, Dottelly ran neatly . against witness an Vanghan, and ssid, George ,(speaking, to Vaugha n gi Tom's gone drat way, and Bob his gone that - Donvlly, tan aWay after. fie bad giien arc informa !

" I have sw'nn f t!iing—he is an old thief, and went Out for the purpose '.f committing the robbery. It cannot be helped—let it remain where it +b."-- They met soon atter at the sign of the Goat in CMOs reir, and dined there in company.

Vau F ,loin rave him ten shillings; and it was ugreed to meet again at the same pl..ce hi a week, for Donelly to give infatuation about rob. 'series. Vaughan gave Drnelly at this second meet big. ;•aorlier ten shillings, and he had in all about fifty shillings. About a fortnight before the 15th; a - guess, alter having mentioned VI Vaughan that Diinelly had stolen sortie gloves, saw Vaughan and Donelly together conver,ing in Portpoolaane. They all frequently met together. Hearing that the 01E cers were after himself, as well as Vaughan and Dn. nelly, witness delivered himself up to Mr Harmer, an attorney. On the evening after the conviction of the prisoners, they met in Cilia' Fair, and Donal' said, 44 They are convicted, but the joy was spoiled, for nothing is allowed."—At another meeting Vaug. ban asked Doneily if he would give more informlni lion ? He promise d , but never did. Cross examined.—lt was freqeently the case that Officers of the Police had persons of confidence among people of bad character, to inform them of robberies, and therefore witness was not surprised to hear the information given to him. The officer - knew these characters very well, and Doi elly was invited to give such infamatii.n. Neie , er Cie witness nor Vaughan knew of the robbery in Pocie's house on the 14th, till Don:-fly gave information of it after it was done. The rAbery of the 15th was neltker Vaughan% nor witeess's planning. Beth went to Poole's boos with Cie intention of letting Donelly escape- Mary Emblin formerly lived with Thema" Ants, and lived with him ou the 16th December last, tl4e time he was taken up. On the night of the !kb, Batts and Itavaley came to her house. and desired her to pawn a piece of cloth ; sl.e did so, and it fetched a pound. Between seven art! eight on the cvetiiiig of the 15th, Donelly carne ti her, and said. Ga ii Batts conics lir.MP, tell him to keep nut ftf . the way, tor he will be taken." lie said kawley and Farthing were already taken. Batts eitl cone Annie. and was taken next morning by Barrett and Vaughan. Joseph Firth kel't the Geerge public house, Mid dle-row, Holborn, facing the end of Gray's-inn-lane. He knew Vaughan and Barrett, big nifvcr kid Melt them together at his house. He had seen Doilelly also at his house, but not in company with either' Vaughan or Barrett. Charles Balding, a plumber, living In Fortis-M. lane, remembered the apprehension of - Farthing and Itiawley. He knew the prisoners very well. About a week or ten days before the robber y in question, Ire saw Vaughan and Donelly together near Portpnnl. • lane, talking in the street. They went into the Mar. quis of Granby public-house together. John Limtnie, an Officer of Bow.streer, appreben• ded the prisoner, Vaughan, at No. 3, New-street, Whitechapel, at his aunt's lxi'ise ; anti. Donelly was apprehended by bum in Barbican. In corning :thug, Donelly said. 4 ' 1.) —n his eyes, I never knew a tolge ger rogue than 'Vaughan is." ' The case of the prosecution being ended, the pria soners were called upon for their defence. They both denied theirguilt,"and laid themselves on the mercy of the Court: . Edward Christian, Chief Justice of the Isle of Ely. and Sir Nathaniel Conant, gave the prisoner Vaughan a good character. He had lived as servant with both th.: witnesses. Mr. Stafford, Chief ant of 81w-street, said that during the three years Vaughan was pattok at the Office, he had been extremely active, chiefly in da tecting pickpockets. He had never known any harm of him until this unfortunate affair. Mr. Baron GRAHAM summed up at considerable length. lie observed, that the first consideration for the Jury would be to determine whether the prisoner Donelly was or was 'not guilty ? He confessed 'that the case was a difficult or;e ; but the evidence of Bar. rett had so entirely fallen in with the statements made by the other witnesses, that it was almest im. possible not to believe it. If Donelly was noon the spot, and was one of the party, :here could be no doubt but that, in point of law, he was as guilty as the other, as being an :rider and abettor. The pre sent, however, was certainly a tovei cz e. I , :sh• u d be recollected, that, in order to implicate the pilioner Donelly, it was necessary to prove that he was en. gaged in the transaction with a felonious intention. But how could this be, for none of the property stolen was to come into bit possession ? There was a diffi culty in that point of view, as well as in another— that it was necessary to prove that this man was aid. ing and abetting in the very robbery it was his chief object to detect. As to the other prisoner,Vaughats, it was in evidence that as to the robbery of the 14th December, he knew nothing of it Datil told by Do. nelly ; and with respect to that of the 15th, it was planned by Doneity and himself, and it wild pot bs
