OLD A'AiLET. On Saturday tft- prifoners were tried, three of whom were capitally conviaed, viz. • Richard ['redo and Yoh* Nowland, for burglari oully breaking and entering the dwelling-houk of James Batefon, and [leafing therein a gold fnuff-, • bot, and other articles, the property of Thomas l Richa.-r1 Alcorn, for (leafing a horfe, the property of William Henry, Duke of Clarence. Another count in the indiEtment Rated the horfe to be the property of a Mr. May. 'Another Rated the pro perty to be in John Elting, • Thek different ways of Rating the property were taken to adapt' the indiament to the cafe as it Rood ; for the horfe, at the time it was Rolen, was at grafs at' Dolby Park, of which his Royal Highnefs the' Duke of CI :Renee is the Ranger. Mr. May was: the owner of the honk. Mr. RAIN opened the cafe on the part of the profecution. John Elting proved the ihork to haie been at pall= in Bulb) , Park. The horfZ: had been there all the (Ewing, and particularly in the month of June i and the witnefs faw Mm there within a week et 'Ahe Beath of June, and afterwards at the King's- cad Twickenham : be was left there to be owned. The horfe was traced to Mr. Grey. Samuel Grey (aid he kept the .Tap of the Bear and Star at Smithfield. On the loth of June I re-' •tOrned home from the country, between four and fisk.o'clock it the afternoon. Ie was on the Friday: When I carpe to the yard, I law the prifoner there. He had a horfe with a fuddle ou him. He ailed me to becomen purchafer. I wild him I bad no obietilion, if. we could agree- He asked lie ten pounds for him. I bid him (even pounds. 'I afked hint, if the bee& washis own property ? He raid ii • was. I asked him how long he had had it ? He fag he had hall it eighteen moptits`and . 'upwards. Mier tome haggling, the *nett agreed to give 71. M. for it, which was aceepted. " Then," continued - the witnefs, " I biought him to boOk : rgiVe Illtnittybook for hitnto put his name and addiefiin it—l law him suite' his name and ad drefs in this book, and here it is, producing the pod/et-book, in which the Filmier bad made an en try as follows : " June 26th, John Steers, Hampton Come, 6iy horfe, warranted - found, 71. zos.' It wit a bay hot*, what we call a bs-owp bay. , On AeN!iretinefday follbwing, I had ocearion to go to HaMpton: I enquired after John Steen there,but oPuM iliat find any fuch ?attn. I pdt up at the Bell While I was (landing there, I faw the pri. foster go by the. door, along with a Gentleman. I immediately knevrhins, and fpoke to him. I car ed to him, bat he did not anfwer me. I tapt lipt on the fhoulder, and he raja, " I have not the plea • Cure of Icnowing yon—l do not know yon." " Did not you fell me.a horfe Ida Friday in Smithfield?" he fail, " Yoe. I did," " Well," laid I, " I want to leak to you abbot it." He laid he was going a little way with 'that Gentleman, and Paid, " will come to you in half an hour, if you go in."— went in at the Bell. I Raid there three hours add in half, but he did not come. I for no more of him until he was apprehended." This was the whole of the evidence for the pro fecution.—Td meet it, the Prifoner fel up ef de fence, That be did indeed fell the horfe and sae a fare entry ; but that he bought this horfe' On the very fame day in Smithfield, and gave fix guineas and a half for it, and withing to turn it into profit, rola him for 71. nos. To fiipport this defence, two witnesses were called : they laid they raw the Prifoner buy a horfe on the 26th of June, about two o'clock, in Smithfield. The firft Wit. net's, Samuel Ibbetfon, Paid he lived at Hampton- Court ; that the Prifoner is a fmith and farrier at Hampton, and continued at home in his nfual line of butnefe from the 26th, Wail he was appre hended. Simon Wirth, an Aflifiant to a Sheriff's Officer, raid, that he was in Smithfield Market on Friday with one Randal ; he believed it was on the 26th of June. He Caw the Prifoner there, and another man and a lame man, with whom he came to St. tar jhornew's.C6lfee-houk, and the Witriefs law him dell a horfe to the Prifoner ; they agreed for fix guineas and a half for it, and the Winters fawthe tr guineas and a half paid for it in bank notes and cash, in the Coffee-houfe, and there was a boy lead ing the horfe. - William Randal Paid he faw the lame man, and be raw the Prifoner pay for the horfe in the Coffee honk. It was a little before or after two o'clock. [The Ede of the horfe by the Prifoner to Grey was between four and five.] Several Witneffes from Hampton and the neigh bourhood, where the Prifoner lived, and where he had carried on -the bufinefs of a fmith and farrier, a-tended on his behalf, and gave him a very good The :.earned Judge, Mr. Jullice Lr. BLANC, fuenmed up the evidence : he obferved, that if the evidence given on behalf of the Prifoner was true, it met the cafe for the I'rofecution, and might be received as an anfwer to it. The only way in that Col ft. perhaps, to account for the Prifoner's having made inch a talk entry was, that he might have r. ilhed not to be called on again, hecanfe he had fold Oie horfe with a warranty that he was found, and he might not with to abide by that warranty. The Jury deliberated fur near half an hour, and fssil.' the Pa foner Gui.:;r, but recommended him to n:ercy.

The boat was rowed td the cullom lioufe nay, where Meyers was given in charge to an officer. The jacket in queflion was rather a remarkable one, and vtas dated by one or two of the witneffes to have been worn by Meyers fume time before. The bag from which the cocoa was taken was weighed, and was found, on comparing it with its original weight, to be deficient very nearly about the quantity found in the pocket of the jacket, which was 331 b. and the identity ofthe cocoa, as nearly as the nature of Each a commodity would admit, was proved on the part of the pro fecution. The prifoners being called on for their defence, Meyers entered into a long circumßantial narra tive, the jett of which was, that Kent obligingly took him into the boat to convey him to a certain Quay whither be had occafion to go, and that foon offer he got on board, he lay down under the tan paulin to deep, being up all the over:night ; and as to the jacket, &c. he knew nothing at all about it. Kent only obferved that one of the bags had , a bole, when it was pat on board. A number of repeftable witnares appeared to their charaders.

The indiameat upon which the Pri foners wene,tharged, deferibed the prelnifes which the Prifonai had entered, as belonging to different perfons, in &pirate counts.: .fira to the Truftees for the Poor of that Oath, who by a private Aa of Parliament were authorized to become Profec a ttars in fetch a cafe ;and fecondly, as the dwelling knife of Mr. Peaty Pinches, the Maker of. the Workboufe. It appeared that a cellar which corns shuileated withehe apartments of MT. Pindhesothe Milker, had heat broken open during the night of the toth of Angni. Some of the inhabitants were I alarmed by the noife, and they immediately pro ceeded to the place ; the Prifoners Were found, slot ' in the cellar, but as if they had recently efeaped from it, on a filar -cafe near the fpoc. The diffi. culty in the prefect inflance, which the Counfel Paid be had to encounter, was the proving that the flair-cafe on which the Prifouerr were found, le gally belonged to A any of the parties. laid in the ecnrd— i feeling this mpraeticahhs, be declined troub ling the Court with any evidence upon the cafe. Mr. Baron Hovuaes complimented the Conn Ail for his candour upon the occafion, and dire&ed the jury to acquit the Prifoners ; which vras.done accordingly. ' The Counfet then moved the Court that the Prifiiners might not be &fanged. as in addition to the very fqfpitiouseircunstancee et which they were detelted, various, implements ufed in hook- I -breaking were found in their pc:006110n; it was therefore intended to prefer an indiament aaaislM them for a mifdemeanour.
