OLD BA/LET. On Saturday twelve prifoners were tried, three of whom were capitally convieted, viz. Thomas Green and Thomas Hainfon, for burglari °Lilly breaking and entering the dwelling-houfe of Matthew Berge, and (haling therein eight can dleflicks, and other articles. George Rfev, : was indicted for bode-Dealing, and found guilty on very clear teftimony, the pri loner having been Peen, recently after the felony, in poffellion of the horfe, which, though worth 101. he offered for 31. without 'icing able to give a fatisfadory account of the manner in which the horfe came into his polTeflion. Four were convicted of felony, viz. Thomas May and Henry May, for Dealing lead off the houfe of Richard Clifton, in the parifh of St. Luke, on the night of the 27th of April laft. The principal witnefs againft them was a watch man, who laid he faw them in the :tEt of Dripping the lead off the houfe, and that upon threats that they fhould be fired at, they came down, and were taken into cuftody.—lt further appeared in evidence, that part of the lead was fo far removed from its original fituation as to contlitute the of fence of Dealing, and the prifoners were accord. ingly found guilty. Wiliam Clark, for Dealing a low and five pigs, the property of Mary Webb. Charlotte Oailey,for Dealing two filver teafpoons, and other articles, the property of Wm. Jones. ,And five were acquitted, among them were Henry Hart, tried on a charge of circulating a bill with a forged acceptance, purportingto be the acceptance of Robert Elvey, with intent to de fraud Kirkley and Beckley, filk-weavers, in For ter-lane, Cheap-fide. It appeared, that when the bill became due, nei ther the drawer nor the acceptor could be found. Three witneffes depofed to the acceptance being in the hand-writing of one Robert Elvey, whom they perfonally knew, and had leen within this week or two. It was obferved by- the Court, that as no evi dence had been produced to difcredit the tefti mony of the three witneffes in favour of the prifo ner, whatever lufpicion might attach to their cha rader, the charge of forgery was not fuflained. —The prifoner was acquitted, but ordered to be detained, other charges being lodged againft him. John Whitton and Heatbly, were indicted for Dealing three lambs, the property of Mr. John Serjeant; at Hendon, in Middlefex, on the 25th of April laft.—Thefevidenceagainft them was circum flantial, and of a nature that may deferve notice. The profccutor, Mr. Serjeant, laid, that on Sa turday the 25th, 24 Cheep and 24 lambs were fate in his dole at Hendon : on the next day, the 26th, the Cheep appealed very uneafy ; on Monday, the 27th, three lamb Chins were found in a ditch, in the next dole but one; and on Wednefday, the 29th, three of the 14 lambs were miffing. Edward Crocker faid, that early on Sunday, the 26th, he met the two prifoners in St. Giles's, with two facks on their fhoulders. That lie fuf peded they were on Tome unlawful bdfinefs, and followed them until he met with two other men, with whole affiflance he took them into cuftody. On fearching them, the facks were found to con tain three (mall lambs, and one large one.—A fled, a rag-Done, and a knife, were found in the pocket of Whitton.—The prifoners, he laid, gave a very unfatisfadory account of the carcafes and Packs; they laid they had found them, but could not tell where. On the next day (Monday) the witnefs went to the Haymarket with the two lacks, and there he learned that Come lambs had been Dolen the preceding Saturday from Hendon. Accordingly he went the next day to Hendon, and having afcertained the fad, he attended next day (Wednefday) and law three of the laid car cafes tried with their &ins, then produced, which they exactly fitted, and correfponded with in fel ; the fkins and carcafes being thufe of one ewe lamb and two wethers. A farmer in the neighbourhood of Hendon laid, that as he was croffing the fields on Monday morn ing with a pointer dog, the dog difcovercd the Iltins in queftion is tne edge of the dole, next but one to Mr. Serjeant's • that they appeared,by the track of the wool, to have been brought from Mr. Serjeant's ground; and that he, was prefent when they were found to fit and correlPond with the carcafes found in poffeffion of the prifoners. The prifoners, in their defence, faid they found the facks, with the carcafes, in Tottenham-court road, but they called no witneffes. The Jury, after a very fhort deliberation, ac quitted them. The prifoners were then tried on two other indictments for the fame offence; but the evidence being the fame, it was not gone into, and acquittals took place of courte. Com Hu RACT.—Ssioth and Palk, two parifh offi cers of the parifh of Hartingfordbury, in the county of Hertford, were indicted for a confpiracy againfl James Hunt. a pauper, by unlawfully im prifoning the faid Hunt, -forcibly entering his houfe, and converting his property to their own ufe, and fending off his wife and five infant chil dren in the middle of the night of the asel of No vember, without any proper covering or protection from the cold and inclemency of the feafon, from laid patina to the parifh of Allhallows Barking. The learned Comfit who fisted the cafe faid, this was a charge of cruelty, againft the defen dants,exercifed principally upon a poor woman and five children, the youngeft one year old, aid the eldefl only eight. The profecutor, James Hunt, was refident fur nearly two years in the parifh of Hartingfordbury, where he fupported himfelr and family by his trade as a tailor. • In the winter of tBco, however, he was obliged to apply to the pa. rill officers for relief, and a queftion arifing with refpe& to his fettlement, he was found to belong to the pariffi of Allhallows, and fent to it. The pariffi officers of Allhallows finding that he had a houfe, Tome little bufinefs, and property in the•pa riffi of Hartingfordbury, fent him back, having previouny given him a Cum of money, its enable him to follow his trade, which he did, without ever after refo: ring to the parifh for relief. ' It happen d, however, that a fowl belonging to Mr. Pallet • st was found drowned in a pond eifirateneenr Hones houfe t and Pallet having charged that it was killed by ow of Hunt's children, the father was brought by him to the (tatter &Eons of Hert ford, on the 22d of November, to anAver for the offence. The charge was abandoned before the plaices, but a private converfation took place be tween Pallet and Mr. Baker, M. P. one of the Jul tices, the refult of which was, an order was made out to commit the profecutor to the Houfe of Cox ration, to which he was immediately conveyed. On the fame night, between two and three o'clock, Pallet and the other defendant, Smith, who was the profecutor's landlord, entered his bottle, tore down all the furniture, and Smith, alledging that 16s. were due for rent, feized the profecutor's pig, which he thought proper to value at t6s. 6d. giving the 6d. balance at the fame time to Mrs. Hunt. The . poor woman, with her five infants, were then put, at that unleafonable hour, into a cart, that was not proof again(' wind or weather, and in that inflation came to the pant!: of All. hallows, where they were met by Pallet, who tra velled in a coach. This, the learned Counfel faid, was a cruel and opprellive proceeding, which, if true, ma ft firmly ettablifh the guilt of the defendants. The Counfel for the defendants objefted that the crime, if any, appeared to have been committed in the county of Hertford • but it being replied that it was completed in diddlefer, the trial was futrzred to proceed. James Hunt, the profecutor, was then called, and ellablithed all the circumftances relating to him in his Counfel's ftatement. The witnefs was then crofs.examined by the de fendant's Counfel; in the courfe of which much contrariety prevailing, the Jury retired for a (bort time, and then returned a verdid—Not Guilty. A Bill hid been prefented to the Grand Jury againfi John Aris, Keeper of the Coldbath-fields prim, for mikonduet in his office. It was pre fented at the inflance of Heron, and fupported by the fame tefiimony, viz. Rance, which was lately brought forward in the King's Bench, in fuport of the rule for a criminal information. The Jury returned the Bill—Not found. On Thurfday laft, a mechanic made an applica. tion to a Magiftrate to be divorced from his pre fent wife, who had gone to live with another man, and be at liberty to marry another woman. Being told that fuch a requeft was out of the power of any Magi ftrate to grant, he went away di ffatisfied, and declared that he would marry another woman at all hazards, let the confequence be what it would, as other people, he knew, did the fame. A plan has been fubmitted to the CHANCELLOR of the Excitscarsa, which it is underftood is to be adopted, that all Jew Hawkers and Pedlars in old clothes, and other wearing apparel, (ball be com pelled to take out a licence at the rate of forty thillings a.year, to etritle them to vend their arti cles—and they are to wear a badge numbered, on their coats, that if afting wrong the party ag grieved may leek redrefs. Wednefday, as five or fix men were digging none at Lonkwell q tarry, for fie ufe of the Ken net and Avon Canal, jun above the Dundas Ague dud, a large portion of the rock fell down ; it was from great agility that either of them cleaned, but one named Jona SIMMONDS was killed on the fpot, and another very much maimed : next day Mr. CLARE. attended, and returned a verdict accidental death. Some days ago the mail coach coming from the North was overturned about four miles from Dun dee. The accident was occafioned by the break ing of the pole at a time when the coach was run ning down bill. There were four infide palTengers, tw., of whom, a lady and a gentleman, were con. fiderably hurt. Several publicans of Owner were lall week con vided in the penalty of 4 ios. each for felling wine, &c. in tents on the race-courfe, without a licence to that effect.
