Yelterday b-ing the Anniverfary of the glorious Viitory at the Boyne, according to the Old Stile, and of the decilive defeat of the French and bulb Papills at Aughrim, according to the New Calen• dar, was obferved with the ordinary tokens of ex ultation by the loyal inhabitants of this city: the name of the great King WILLIAM the Third, in College-green. was fitperbly decorated with appro priate colours, and leveral loyal focieties paraded round College-green in the :ourfe of the day, which being 'mutually fine, attacked great num bers to view the fplendid el gance of the fcenz.— Late in the evening. however, a difp , fition to tu mult was obferved in the perfims collated in Col lege-green, which, notwithilanding the moil anxious exertions of Alderman STAMItR, who iu. treated the mob to ditPerfe, encreated every mo ment—a guard was lent for, but in the interval the appearance of three or four yeomen in uniform who paired along the lireet feemed to be the lignal for the outrages which enfited : three unfortunate men were attacked by the whole power of the crowd, and beaten to the ground, while fome gen tlenun who interfered to pref e rve th e m (h are d t h e fam e rate. .

OLD BA/ Lir. . . On Saturday eighteen pritonerswere tried, two if Whom were capitally ionvieled, viz. Henry Evans, fur Qealing a mare, the property of Anthony Harding and Jeremiah Gatchoufe. Sarvib Davies, for ltealing a quantity of wearing apparel in the houfe of a Mr. Macs, in St. Ca therine's. Mrs. lilacs Rated, that the prifoner lived with her, and that having left her one day in charge of the houfe, when the returned the found the prifo er had let of with a box, containing the whole of her wearing appa'rel, bed furniture, &c. of con& derable value. On enquiry, (he met with a coach man, whO had been engaged by the priumer to carry the box to a houl e in Sr. Giles's, where Mrs. Ifaacs found the prifoner dreired up in the cloaths (he had Rolen, and was enabled to get them all back, though part had been pawned and parr fold. On takinft the prifoner into cuflody, the ex claimed, " Give me a knife, that I may cut my throat, and at once rid myfelf of a miferable ex iftence." This unfortunate girl fated ih her defence, that I the had been decoyed away from her friends by Mrs. Macs, who had drelTed her up and fent her our for the purpofe of prollitution : that fhe would take away every farthing of money, as foon as the had brought it home ; and that, in point of fadt, the cloaths in queftion were thole Hie was acct f. tomed to wear herfelf, though they might origi nally belong to Mrs. Ifaacs. She brought no evidence to corrolx:rate this Rory, and the Jury found her guilty—Death ; but recommended her to mercy. Nirrt were convUled of felony, viz. Thom: "'ones, who was indiaed for a capital of , fence, in felonioufly ftealing, on the ninth of July, dne aol. Bank of England Note, and various other notes to the amount of 1551. the property of Peter Martin, privily from his perfon. Mr. Cotton', as Counfel for the profecution, Rated the particulars of the cafe, which will ap pear from the following narrative of its material arcumftances; and obfirved, it would appear that I the Jury, in a merciful confrderation of the cafe, may difmifs the capital part of it, namely, that which related to the ftealing, privily, from the perfon of the profecutor. The appearance of the prifoner was alto much in his favour. Bat GOD forbid, he Paid, that in cafes of this fort, any firers fhould be laid on appearances. He doubted not that the prlfoner would have a gond charader given him. But this fhould only weigh in doubt. ful cafes, and not militate againft direa and poll dye evidence. Mr. Martin, the profecutor, Rated, that he is a wine and brandy merchant, and lives in Union ftreet, Wapping. That on the gth of July he took out fome notes with him, in order to depofit with his banker; and his intention was alfo to colleEt fome debts. He received a 201. Bank of England Note from Mr. MiAllifter, in High Holborn, which he wrapped uo with the other Mu.. . . . had bef►des eighE gtitneas and a *Try (mall (wan / tity of filver. In Aosta a quarter of an hour after he called at the Coach and Horf2., liquor limp and puLlic-Loute, kept by Mr. 13Asktr, in High Holborn. He went into the hack parlour, This was ra ther before two ;o'clock. tie ordered , bottle of wine. There might t he riven or eight Gentlemer in the room at. the , t,me, among whom was tin. prifoner. Mon of ihere dined at the bottle. He fat next to the prilOner ; the latter at his right hand. They all joined company—drank togethe about four or five bottles of wine, and at fiv. o'clock a coach was ordered for him to go away. He ordered it to di ive to his banker's in Lomita, d meet. One of the company, a Mr. Ellis, a Hun• tingdOnihire farmer, accompanied him as far as Cheapfide. When he got to the banker's he found that all his Notes were gone. He immediately returned to ;he houfe of Mr. Barker. One of the junior partners of the banking honfe accompanied him. He there informed the landlord :IA the company of his lots. The prifoner was not there at the time. He lhortly after faw the 201. Note he received from Mr. M , Alliiter, but never fince recovered any of the others. On his crofs-examioation by Mr. KNAPP, the prifoner's leading Counfel, he Rated that Mr. Ellis fat on the oppofite tide of the coach all the way they rode together. John Barker, who keeps the Coach and Holies in High Holborn, corroborated that part of Mr. Martin's teflimony which related to what paired in his hotife. After Mr. Martin went away ti)e fecnnd time, he, the skittles, had tome converfation with the company on the fttbjeB. The prifoner, who left the honfe fncn after Mr. Martin went the Fall time, had about this period returned. The witnefs exprefre4, his regret that fuch a thing Ihould happen in his houfe, and that it was a great refleaion On the company. It was agreed that they thould all Rand a finch. He imme. diately brought Mr. Bell, the Mei conflable of that . divition. The company in general requelled he would fearch them. Upon which the prifoner took out a few loole papers and a from waidenat pocket, and Laid he would be learched oyno man. Mr. Bell then faid to him, " Who are you ? here's my authority," (producing his pocket fiaff) tt and I wiil fearch you the ftrfi man." Accord ingly he proceeded to fearch him, and found in his left-hand coat pocket a zol. Bank of England Note, loofe, and rather in a rumpled Rate. He was immediately taken into cuftody, and the pro fecutor informed of the circumftance. On his crofs-examir•.ation, by Mr. ALLEY, the pritoner's fecond Counfel, the witnefs acknow ledged he was much furprifed at the affair, as he conlidcred Mr. Jones to he a man of great refpeit ability, remarkably well behaved, and in thort one of the laft nen he fhould rape& of a thing of the kind. He underflood him to be a tradefinan and a hoofe-keeper. Neither of the parties were drunk, but they feemed to be a little greeted by the liquor. Mr. W. Bell, an iron-fonnder, of Crofs-(beet, Clerkenwell, Rated, that he was one of the com pany at the Coach and Honks the evening the af fair took place. The prifoner fat next to Mr. Mar tin, and at his right hand ; they converted very familiarlyand (hook hands frequently. He thought I they were both a little intoxicated. When Mr. I Martin rote to go away, the prifoner alto rofe, and they (hook hands very cordially. Juft before that he thought he taw Mr. Jones draw his hand from the profecutor's right-hand breeches pocket. Soon after Mr. Martin went away, the prifoner got up and laid he mutt go out; but it he did not return to the company in a quarter of an hour he woul.l forfeit a ()tilling. lie was prefent when the% High Conftable was introduced, and he detcribed that part of the bufinefs in the way narrated by the fait witnefs. On his crofs-examination, by the prifoner'.; Counfel, he laid he had known Mr. Jones many years, and he was one of the left he (hould have fulpeded of fuch condo& He kept a (hop in St. Martin's-lane, was a comb and brufh-maker, and a perfume manufa&urer. rift% Henry Bell, the High Conftable of the Hol born Divition, Rated, that he came to the Coach and Horfes on the evening of the 9th init. by de fire of the Landlord : the prifoner and about five others were in the back parlour: they requefted he would fearch them. Mr. Jones opened his wain , coat, took out a few papers out of the pockets of it, and a (haling, but laid no man fhould fearch him : the w•itnets (hewed him his authority, and faid, he would begin by fearching him. He took out of the left hand coatipocket a 201. bank -note, look, and much tumbled—he faid to the prifoner, . Mr. Jones, do you ufually carry 201. notes in your coat pocket I He antwered, the note did not be ' long to him : to which the witnefs replied, joctt lady, I am very glad of it, then I hope it belongs to me. However, very foon after, the prifoner defired his zol. note might be returned—eit was his property—he received it, he laid, from a Mrs. Snowden, a perfumer, in the Hay-niarket. He told him the note was fafe, but he muff keep it.— He then took the prifoner into cuftody ; and as he was conveying him to the watch-houfe, he artfully endeavoured to make his efcape, and af terwards ufed a canfiderable degree of violence, fo much fo, that the witnefs was under the necefTity• of knocking him down in the ftreet—he had kept the note ever finee—when produced at Bow-greet, it was inflantly recognized by the profecutor. Mr. Martin was then called up to identify the note—it was the fame he had received from Mr. MtAllifter, about a quarter of an hour before he went to the Coach and Horfes. He recolleaed the indorfement of Mr. Hall on the note, and the ini tials of Mr. MtAllitter's name, which he law hin. write upon it. Edward MdAllifter faid, he keeps a Tavern in High Holborn—he paid the aol note in queftioi to Mr. Martin, as he had Rated—He taw one of to, mho added, he gave the note to Mr. 111,A1lif ter on the 6th of June. Mt. Combe Hated, that he had ingnit ed from the beginaing to the end, and f r .. rn th e en d to the hegi ming of the Haymarket, and could learn no th,ng of a Mr,. Snowden, a pet fmnei. l lie evidence for the ptofecution being doted, the prifonet wa, called upon for his defence. He laid, that on the evening the atfair took place, he was confids tably inoixis tied, having pre dourly drank a quawity of Ale: he drank after din ner for three or f,tir hours, at Mr. 13a. bar's in company with leveral gentlemen; he was convin ced that eight or ten bottles were covftt med. Mr. Martin himfelf, as wine merchant of the henfe, paid for five. After he left Mr. Bat ker's, he went home to St. Maitin's.lane ; it was rear alvhour before he returned, and in the interval he tank the note in nueflion at his own (hop, as a gentleman then pre.ei.t could prove. It was a plain proof that he was exceffively intoxicated when lie men tioned the name of a Mrs. Snowden, a perfon he never ev,:n heard of; and he thought it a hard care that a perfon could not take a 201. note, with. out being brought to inch an account for it. Mr. Cumming, of Exeter -court, Strand, the per fon alluded to, laid, he had known the prifoner tome time, and had occational dealings with him ; he recolle(ted being at Mr. Jones's chop on the eening of the 9th, it was fometime between five aid feven Wclock.• Mr. Jones came in while the wirnels was there, and foon after a decent drelfed perfon came in for the change of a note—the amount he did not recolle.9. Mr. Jones Paid he could not change it without he purchafed (bate thing. After Come converfation, the perfon agreed to take articles, he believed combs, to the amount of between four and five pounds. Mr. Jones ap peared rather tipfy—he ;liked - the witnefs to Ohl him to make up the change; he accordingly lent him 91. in (mall notes—he had a very favourable opinion of Mr. Jones, and fhoald have trolled hint any amount. On his crofs-cxamivation by Mr. Gu RN Sr, the witnefs fail, he bad been a Warrant Offiecr—was then in the Naval Agency line, and kept a honk in Exeter-court. Several witnefles, mohly neigl,Lours of tits pti fsncr, gave him a favourable cli.4rttaer. The ftscrAuse, who tried the cafe, fitmm2d up the evidence, and delivered a very able charge thereon to the Jury.--With the Profecutor's Cqtin nl he feemed to agree, that the capital part of the charge, that of privately healing, may be left out of the conlideration of the Jury, as one of the wit. ne,fes diflinetly Rated that he law the prifoner's hand drawn from or very near the pocket of the Profecutor—an aft from which a conclufion may be fairly drawn in fuch a cafe, that it was at that time the theft was perpetrated, and which would be furficient for the purpofe alluded to. He then hated tome points lot the confideration of the Jury, from which he thought guilt might be inferred, and one or two poilits which may operate rather favourably for the prifoner. He concluded with the ufual obfervatlons on the effea of charaaer. The Jury deliberated a very hurt time, when they found the prifoner guilty of healing, but not privately from the perfon. The prifoner was well drefred, and is a man of gentlemanly appearance. He Rated his age to be fifty-two._ job's M'Donald and Wm. Carr were alio charged with a capital offence in felonioudy affaulting, on the 27th (Whine, John Hope, on the King's high way, putting him in fear, and taking from his per fon and againd his will, a filver watch, a gilt chain, and a metal real, his property. The Profecutor it appeared was palling through Blackmore-dreet about three o'clock in the morn ing of the day Rated in the indictment, when he was met by the two prifoners, who ftopt and afked him to treat them • this Mr. Hope n atura lly re fared, on which they bottled him violently, and at the moment he felt his watch taken, from his pocket ; the prifoners immediately ran off—the Pro. fecutor purfued and called nut " (top thief." In Clare-court he came up with the prifoner M'Do nald, and laid hold of him, when Carr came up and (truck the Profecutor fn violently on the head that he was forced to let M'Donald go. The pri foners then ran off in different direEtions, however M'Donald was foon after flopped by a watchman and taken into cudody. As the Officers were pro. ceeding with M'Donald to the Police Office on the following day, he took occafion to complain of the hardnefs of his cafe in being about to fuffer for an other man's cutting the Profecutor on 'the head; he then direCted them where to find his fellow-pd. foner, and accordingly he was apprehended at the Conditution public-houfe in Drury-lane, and Mr. Hope in(tantly recognized Carr's perfon. He now pofitively (wore to them both. The Learned Judge, upon evidence to this effect, conceived there could be no doubt as to the facts—the principal que(tion for the confederation of the Jury was, whether that degree of force was ufed in taking the watch which was neceffary in the eye of the law to conditute the offence a highway robbery?? in cafe of the ne- Jative that part of the ch arge was d one away. The ury evinced thernfolves of this opinion by finding a verdict—" Gelb . ? offiraling Francit Dring, for dealing (agars to the value of Soot. the property of Mr. Davis, a merchant in St. Dundan's•lffil, by whom he had been employ. ed as warehoufeman. It was proved by fereral witneffes that the prifoncr had broke an entire hogthead of fugar, and fent it away in feveral rice calks, and fold them to another perfon. The pro. lecutor (wore he had never given the palter !cave to fell fugars to any body. The prifoner left his defence to his Counf:l.—Guilty. R.
