OLD BAILt r. Thurfday 13 prifoners were tried,.one of whom was capitally convifted, viz. . John Green, who feemed, from the number of other detainers again him, for charges nearly fimilar, an expert depredator in this line, was capitally con vised of flailing a metal watch, dome capped and jewelled, value $l. the property of Henry Burton.— Death. Edward Cole and Yobs Square: were, after a very tong trial, convicted of Heating a check, or order for the payment of 1201. the property of Me(frs. Barry and Wilkinfon, wine merchants in Mincing lane. The cafe was apparently one of burglary, and the evidence molily circumfiantial. The charge was not laid capitally, and the Jury had no hefitation in con 'idling the prifoners. lyilliam Poteenham ?Wary was tonvided of Healing fit pounds of lead, value ss. the property of Mars. Peacock and Terry. game: Jar& was indided for Healing in the dwell ing houfe of Meatus Anfley, William Pearce, and George Anfley, in the parifh of St. George, Hano ver fquare, a piece of cotton furniture, value 4os. the property of Mars. Anfley and P.arce. It appeared that the prifoner had been employed as a plaitterer, in the houfe occupied by Mars. An. fley and Pearce, in Bond Itreet, and that he availed himfelf of an opportuniiy to remove a piece of cot ton furniture, value three guineas, from the ware houfe into the pantry, from whence he was in the at of carrying it away in his apron, when he was flop ped by one of the young men in the wareroom. In the courfe of the evidence, it came out that the company had another warehoufe at 143, Strand, where Mr. Thomas Anfley lived. The Learned Judge who tried the cafe (Mr. Jutlice Lawrence) therefore diretied the Jury to find the prifoner guilty of Heal ing only, as that could not be laid to be Mr. Thomas Anfley's dwelling houfe in which he did not live. The Jury accordingly found the prifoner guilty of 'tilling, but not in the dwelling }inure. ka/mf/ey, and /Villiarar, privates in the 3d Guards, were capitally indicted for a burglary in the dwelling houfe of James Winter, and Healing therein five halfpence and two quarts of rum. Mr. Winter Rated that he was a publican in Crofs fireet, Long Acre. The prironera had been quar tered on him between three and four months. He had long fufpeded that they had robbed him, aad on the morning of the 4th of July, his wife fat up till three o'clock, in order to ditcover the thieves, but without effed. When the came to bed, Winter got up and defeendel to the parl.•tir, and about four o'clock he heard both prifoncrs come down (lairs, and go into the back yard, in order to dull their clothes. One of them thrull his hand through a fradured pane in the parlour window, and told his comrade there was a double curtain infide. The ot . be r went al ong t h e paffage to the flaircafe, and put his hand through the back curtain, under whichWia •ter had concealed himfelf. He then Arent into the tap room, and to the bar, which he forced open. He llopped about a minute and a half, and took• Come half. pence from the till. He then fancied the bar-door,and went up Rain to his comrade, to "thorn. be Paid,, 4 , All's well!" The prcffecutor then went for a Bow- 1 flreet officer, who found them cleaning their clothes. Under the head of the bed, a quart bottle of rum, uncorked, was found, and on the bed a waiflcoat, be. longing to Williams, in which were five halfpence which had been marked the night before by Mr; Winter, and depofited in the till with other money of thf. fame kind. The prifoners were then conduded to Bow flreet, and after undergoing an examination. a farther fearch was made, and a fecond bottle of rum, corked, was difc9vered in a hole in the floor, by the bedfide. The halfpence were identified by Mrs. Winter. The prifoners, in their defence, declared themfelves wholly innocent of the charge. There was no lock on their roam door ; and'how the rum came there they did not know. The Seijeant of their company gave them charac ters for foldierlike conduCt ; but with regard to their honefly he could not (peak. The Jury found them guilty of larceny only, thus doing away the capital part of the indiftment. Margaret Home, and Elizabeth Cid aiias Frans, were indieted for healing a piece of Itith linen, and five pieces of fartnet ribbon, the property . of J.ln Alex ander, a linen draper in flick lane, Bethhal Gieen, - privately in his fhop. . . The evidence w as f at i s f a el ory as to the priciners having Itolen the above property, and Mr. Alexander did not fee them take it. But Mr. Jultice Le &sic obferved to the Jury, that in order the offence uf pri vately Healing thould be completed, according to the Meaning of the Aft cf Pat liament in this cafe, it was not enough that the goods were Bolen In that the mat ter of the (hop did not fee it done, but fo as 'that no peefon accuflomed to ferve in the (hop had ken it. Now Mr. Alexander had fhopmen—they were not here to give their evidence ; and therefore as they might have Peen this aet of theft, the Jury would not conclude that they did not, but would. in favour of life. only find a verdict of guilty as to the larceny, and would acquit the prifoners of the privately heal. ing. which was the capital part of the charge.— Guilty of (haling, but not privately. in the (hop. Thomas Irefira was indieted for healing a box, con taining sl. in money, a Bridol Bank Note for si. and four Bmik of England Notes, of tol. each. and two 5 1. &IA of England Notes, the property of Wm. Lingard, in his dwelling honk. The ewe for the prtfecution depended chiefly on the evidence of Mrs. Lingard, and fame pan of the evidence Oilier hutband. The account of the hufband that he is the landlord of the public haute called °chuck, at Hammerfrnith ; that on Wednefda t 9th of Au. gull tan, being .bout to go from home, he gave to his wife all hi, Bank Notes ; four tol. Bank Notes— two 51. Bank Notes—a Briftol Bank Note, and Come other (mall Notes—the particulars of which he did not recalled. He gave them all to her in the bar of, 1 the public hnufe, the Roe-buck, and nobody was then in the bar but liimfelf, his wife, and the ;ni -1 toner Wetton, who faw him give his wife the notes, and law her put them into a box in a drawer id - the' bar, a place in which the is in the habit of keeping her m ney. The prifoner is the proprietor and driver of the Kea Rage, and had always borne a very good charatter. The time this was done was particularly fixed, on account of its being the day before the race that was run on the Bath road, which the Profecutor went to fee. When he returned from the race, he re ceived information from his wife of her having 101 l this money. In confequence of the manner in which the faid the had loft it, he went to Kew Bridge, which is about a mile and a half from his haute, and there he law the prifoner Welton. Mrs. Lingard, the wife, fwore that the received the above property, in notes and money, from her hufband, on the 19th ; that at that time the prifoner Hood dole to the door in the bar when the put the property in a box, and then into a drawer in the bar. She put in the property as loon as the received it, and locked it up. On the fame evening (he put in 51. whist' the had received, and that was in filver. No. body was prefent when the received the money and put it into the drawer but herfelf, her hufband, and the prifoner. On the next day, about four in the afternoon, the had opened the drawer with this money in it, for the purpofe of putting in fume more flyer. She had opened the box, faw the notes and flyer then in the box; when at the infant came up the Kew-bridge coach, the prifoner driving it. The coach drew up to the door—the turned the key and left it in the drawer, and went to attend to the coach. She ferved a glaft of liquor to a perfon who came into the houfe, from the coach, but the prifoner was the only perfon who came into the bar. The other perfon flood by the door *of the bar. She !midi did not go out of the ear. (This was a circumtlance which became extremely material, in confequence of evidence called in behalf of the prifoner.) The man (he gave the glafs of liquor to Rood in the door way, but did not come within the bar—but the prifoner flood within the bar dole to the drawer. She gave change for a Wiling to the perfon who had the liquor at the corner of the bar, and he went away direCtly, fo that, according to her evidence, the prifoner was the only perfon who was in the bar. Then when the was giving this man change the heard a ruffling, and called out twice to the prifoner, laying, " What are you at ?" and fome table linen and foliate books which were on the top of the drawer, had fallen down.— The prifoner went out, got upon his coach, and then drove away. She went to the drawer to put the filver into the box, which the was about to do, when the coach came up and prevented her from doing in. She perceived that the box containing the above property was gone. The whole tranfatlion did not take up more than four or five minutes time. On the part of the prifoner feveral witnelfes were called, who dillinftly proved two material fags. After the evidence had been gone through, Mr. Judicc La &awe concluded an excellent and appropriate charge. The Jury, after a (tort delibe• ration—Acquitted the Prifoner. Yetterday twenty.two prifuners were tried, two of whom were capitally convieed, viz. Can;arine Forreler, for flealing a cheek, the pro perty of W. Tipple, privately, in his limp ; and Eliza Kelly, for privately ftealing from the perfon of J. Vincent, two guineas, one Chilling, and two fiA pcuces. Matta Eadiey, a decent looking woman, fifty three years of age, dreffed in black, was put to the, bar and arraigned upon an indiftmenr, charging her with feloniontly having in her poffeffion a certain forged note, purporting to be a bank note for 11.--. , knowing it to be forged. I. Mr. FIELDING hid, that by the dire ?nn ofthe Go vernor and Company of the Bank of England, he was to have profecuted this unfortunate woman at the bar in a raanner from whick her life mutt affured ly have been forfeited ; but the had done every thing in ber power (having gone very far in a career of Inifeondue) to make difcoveries, which might be of great benefit to the public ; the bad therefore been in• • difted for an offence, a conviBion of which would not have colt her life ; the had pleaded Guilty ; but in confideration of her. having made all the atone ment in her power for her guilt, he had been inftruc ted by the humanity of the Governor and Dirednrs of the Bank, to abßain from calling all evidence againft her on the other profecution which was to I have been brought forward. The RECORDER faid, that the prifoner was indebted I for her life to the humanity of her profecutors : the Learned Counfel for the profecution declining to produce any evidence againft her upon the capital offence with which the Rood charged, the was then taken the bar .7ohn Mahon . ; was indiaed for the wilful mnrder of Dem. B. yan, at Mile End, on the sith of Augnft laD, by giving him divers blows on his breaft, ftomach, mod fides ; of which he inflantly died. Jeremiah Harrogan Paid, the prifoner fells law dull in Blue Anchor Yard, in Rofemary Lane. I knew Dennis Bryan :he was a labouring man. He and the prifoner went to fight in Stepney Fields on a Sunday morning. They fought with their fibs.— Bryan had got the left blow : he got it on his right fide: it was a bad blow. He was unable to fight after that blow :—becaufe he could not walk, they fent for a coach. He lived about an hour after the blow :he died in the coach. They had agreed to light, Ido not know for what. I was with him in the coach when he died. Croft' examined. He raid, I have heard the deceafed and the paci fier were Members of a Smoking Club, and that they quarrelled there. I was at the fight on the Sunday morning : it was in Stepney Fields : the deceafed was on the ground firft. Mr. Juftice HEATH raid to Mr. Ally, Counfel for the prifoner, it was not worth while to purfue this examination any further, until the furgeon's evidence was given. Mr. Samuel Cowie, Paid, that he attended with another furgeon who examined the body : they were of opinion that the caufe of it was the rupture of a blood veffel jug above the kidneys. joisof—lf thedeceafed had endeavoured to throw the prifo ner in the ecinilld, might not that have occalioned the rupture of the blood veffcl ?—A. Yes. nay Lord. Jorioa—Why, , then, this is not even manilaughter ; beeaufe the blow does not appear to be the caufe of the death.—A. I cannot eaadtly fay where the blow was given. Jusoa—No, we do not expel you to do fo ; but did you fee , any external bemire at all ?—A. No, my Lord. The Learned judge, in his addrefs to the Jury, pronounced an opinion to this effeft, and the Jury foUnd the prifoner—Not Guilty. Henry Prire was inducted under the Coroner's In. spelt for manflaughter, in having mal-treated Sarah Price, his wife; while with child, fo as to hare occa fioned her death. The profecution teemed to have been brought from a laudable defire on the part of the Gentleman en untied with the management of the affairs of the parifh of St. Clement's Danes, where the parties re. tided, to allay a fpirit of diffatisfation which tome of the prifonet's neighbours teemed to have enter. .dined againft him. Some marks having been obferved on the face and arm of the deceafed, after her delivery ; the pear, tes fatisfy the doubts of the neighbours, had, after her death, appointed a furgeon to examine the body, o made a report favourable to the innocence of rifoner. Surmifes injurious to him having bow. fill come to the ears of the peas officers, a otter's Inqueft was fummoned, who, on the evi• dente adduced before them, found a verdi& of man flaughter againft the prifoner. To rerrove all fhadow of doubt, however, the parifh preferred a bill of in didment againft the prifoner, at the prefent Seffions, charging him with the crime of murder, but the bill was thrown out. 'they now came forward to indid him under.the verdict of the Coronet's Inqueft. Mr. PooLEY, for the profocution, admitted that he had no expectation of fucceeding in the conviaion of the prifoner; on the contrary, he knew that it could not be £hewn, if the evidence should be deemed admit libleohat the external marks on the perfon of th• de ceafed did not proceed from the ufage of the prifoner, but from other caufes. Mr. Skillet, furgeon, who attended the deceafed, Paid he had obfervcd a black mark under her right eye, and one on her left arm. He was proceeding to nate the way in which the deceafed had informed him the had received them, when the Learned Judge (Heath) Paid, that was not evidence againft the pri loner, and therefore could not be received for him. Mr. POOLE)* declared himfelf fatisfied, if competent to be received, it would fully have juftified the pri loner. The witnefs proceeded to Rate, that he was per- feely fatisfied that the deceafed had died of an in flammation in the cheß, and of convaltions. It was impoffible, he added, that the external marks could have occafioned her death.—Verditt, not Guilty. "lamer Narita was inditted for the wilful murder of Eugene Mahony, a child of three years old, in Rofe mat y.lane, on the Wednefday before Whitfantide laR. A young woman who was palling at the time, being about four in the afternoon, Paid, that the faw feveral empty fugar-calks (landing on the fireet, and a number of children picking at them. That the prifoner came from the oppoftte fide out of Crown. court. She heard him fay to the children, if they did not go away, he would kill fome of them. About two minutes afterwards the faw.the prifoner take one of the catks by the top and bottom, and roll it among them. It Rruck the child Mahony about the (mall of the back, arid knocked him to the grounderolling over him. The witnefs cried out that the child was killed. The prifoner immediately took it up in his arms, and delivered it to a perfon who claimed it. When the witnefs fit, the child it was dead. It had been wathed, and the only mark of violence upon it, was a black (pot, of the largenefs of about half a crown, ost the (mall of its back. From the'crofs. tram:maim of the *lmes, it 'ropeared that there were four hogiheads in all, two of which were placed within, or on the top of the other two. A boy of the name of Thomas Stone, who ''ad been playing along with the other children, shoot the calks, Hated, that the prifoner had with his hat driven away a Noy whom he law near the exiles when he wa= g-irg to remove them. From use pulitlon of the calks, tare boy Maliony was completely hid from his view. The prifuner had Miffed theupper calk, ' where the child lay concealed, when the Wi wets called out to him, that there was a child on the other fide; but, as the Whites emphatically expreffed it, it was too much for the prifoner then to recover it ; the cage was already too far puthed over from the fide on which the prifoner was. Mr. Jollice La 13t.amc (aid, from the evidence it appeared that the misfortune was purely accidental. 'rite Jury, without hearing all the evidence as to charatter which the prifoner had to adduce, declared themfelves perfettly fatisfied that it was an accident, and accordingly found the prifuner— of Guiity. 2 lima: Hamer, alias Benjamin Craddock, and Jams Bryant, alias Birk*, were capitally indifted, under Lord Ellenborough's Aft, on a charge of gabbing and wounding John Watkinfon. nn the night of the sth of May lag, in High H ,horn, with intent to murder, maim, or do fome violent bodily harm to the Paid John Watkinfon. It will be recolletled, that the crime charged in this indictment occurred during an attempt made by four per font to rob a waggon. One of the perfons im plicated in this charge was executed about three weeks firce, in confequence of his conviction for being found at large within this realm before the expiration of his former ftntence of tranfportation ; and the trial of thefe prifoners was poltponed from the lag felfions, on account of the aSfence of a principal witnefs. It appeared, on the teftimony of a Mr. Parkins, falefman,of New Compton greet, that he was c• ming through Holborn, on the night gated, at r t o'clock, and law a waggon driving along,followed by a man in a dark coat, who was accoging the waggoner, and afking him feveral quettions about where he carne• from, and who was his mailer ?—and having cate chifed him for fome time in this way, at length de. fired him to draw up to a public bottle near Red Lion•Rreet, and offered to treat him with fome drink. Mr. Parkins, fufpetting the intention, tapped the waggoner on the Moulder, and advifcd him to pals on about his hulloes. Witncfs again law the wag gon oppolite to an a-la-mode beef (hop, the corner of Smart's Buildings, and law the man in the dark coat knock the waggoner down at the tail of the waggon. He called the watch, and went to the waggoner's Alliance. Several watchmen and others came up, but the man who (truck the waggoner ran off, and witnefs not having feen his face, could not !wear it was either of the prifoners. Thomas Topping, the waggoner, (wore to his having been knocked down ; but he could not (wear to either of the prifoners. Mr. John Cuthel, bookfeller. in Holborn, (wore that the waggoner, on that night, pointed to a man in a dark mixture coat, and laid he would fwear that was the man who knocked him down. Mr. Cuthel advifed him to charge that man on the watch ; but he, with another man, immediately run away. Mr. Watkinfon, who was prefent, immediately purfoed him. Mr. Cuthel could not (wear pofitively to either of the ptifoners, but merely to their refemblance to the men he law. Mr. Watkinfon Rated, that he had purfued the two men mentioned by the lad wilneli up Holborn, and fcized one of them by the collar ; but at this moment received a dab of fcme fharp inftrument in his back. He felt the blood gufhing profufely from the wound, and fell to the ground difabled. He could not (wear pofilively to either of the prifoners, but only that they were very like the men he had teen in Holborn. Coleman and March, two watchmen, Rated, that they were called to Rop the man who attacked the waggoner. Coleman Paid, that in attempting to flop them, one of them whipt a knife into his belly, and left him fenfelefs on the ground ; and March (wore pofitively to the perfon of Bryant, as one of thole two who had paged him. Mrs. Mary Atkins, miltrefs of the Windfor Cattle public houfe, (wore pofitively to the perfon of Crad• dock, whole face fbe ditlinaly law, by a ftrong light, as he followed dole at the tail of the waggon, within two yards of her, a little before the affray bad oc curred. On her crofs-examination the Paid, the reafon the had not fpoken fo pofitively to Craddock's perfon be. fore the Magifirate, was, that fhe was In infulted and confounded at the time, by the prifonet's attorney, named Harris, that The was obliged to go out, in order to recoiled herfelf, but that then the was as pofitive as now. Sanwell, the Police Officer, who apprehended the prifoners, Rated, that he took Bryant at the White Hatt, in Bifhopfgate-fireet, and found upon his perfon a loaded piltol and a large pocket knife ; and that he found Craddock at the houfe of a Dr. Taylor, in Bifhopfgate•Breet,and found upon him a large gimblet or boring inftrnment, of peculiar conftrudion, and a large pocket knife. The evidence for the profecution being doled, both • prifoners denied the charge ; and Bryant Laid he could prove an alibi. In fupport of this plea, feveral witneftes were exit. mined, and, amonglt them four hackney coachmen, named Yates, Cox, Filh, mut Goftling, who (wore they fat in his company at the Crown and Anchor . public houfe, Moorfields, from ten o'clock to twelve, on the night of the ssth July, the affray having oc. curred at half paft eleven that night. Craddock produced no witnefs. Mr. Justice HEATH lammed up for the Jury, who acquitted both prifoners. The tide, which bore fo many vifitors from town to the watering placer, begins, rapidly to revert to wards the metropolis. For recruiting the expences of thefe fummer encurfions, it may not be unfeafonable to hint—the golden tide of the New Lottery Plan, that will loon be on the flood ; and whole double flow of wealth may be embraced, at the fenallea IA of loft ever known in the Lottery annals. I'uefday, a poor woman in Cow•crofs-flreet, while engaged about her fire fide, was burnt dreadfully, by piece of wood, which was burning in the grate, fall. in on her apron. She was carried to an hofpital, with very little hopes of recovery. •wp--
