Tbefe feffions commenced on Tueft* at the Selt Cons Houfe, Clerksnwell, when y. kite was indifted fur affatilting John Guy, a Watchman, in the execution colitis duty. - Mr. Gunner fisted, that on.the evening of Sun dny the loth of November, abotit half pall ten, the Defendant was fingiag very loudly a Cons of a molt indecent defcription. The watchman (aid to him, " Governor, you Gould not flog fuch tongs on Sunday night." On this the Defendant abufed him, and (truck him repeatedly. The watchman then fprung his rattle, but nobody came to his affillattce ; he then drew his cutlafs, but the Defendant wrefted it from him, and cut his thumb in fo doing. The watchman having been examined confirmed this (late r:lent. On his crofs examination by Mr. KNAPP he de clawed, that he was not afleep at the time, neither had any rttrftin, complained that he neglelted his duty.— He maintained that he was &ft affaulted, and denied having mad: ufe of any improper expreflions, or having reforted to violence until previoufly afraulted. It was fworn by another watchman, named Cooper, that he went' to the affiltance of Guy, and found Rice beating him with great violence. Mr. Knorr , f ur th e Defendant, obferved, that the evidence of the watchman, ref - peeing the firlt part of the affray, was wholly unconfirmed, and Rood entirely on his own tellimony. .Even Cooper, the lall witnefs, had not heard the rail e ‘ rprulg the de fendant was going home, having beenflisouting the evening with a few friends. Mr. Knapp than -called three witnefres. One of them followed the Defen dant a good way on the road, and heard him finging the fame tong all the way, and the feveral watchmen bidding him good night, until he came to the box of Guy. Another witnefs, who lived clefe by the watch box, came to the door, in confequence of Rice calling outlutlily for affillance. He faw Goy beating the Defendant in a very fevere manner The third wilnefs Rated, that he faw the Defen dant next day, when he went with an officer to exe cute a warrant for bringing him before a Magillrate, but having two black eyes he was unable to attend till the following day. Mr. GURMEY, in the courfe of his reply, obferved, that he cohfidered the watchman was certainly in the right in challenging the Defendant, who hurt the feelings of all who heard him, in a double way : fiats in ringing on a Sunday, and aggravating that of fence, by the burthen of his mute being a moR filthy produ&ion.—The Jurr, after a &on deliberation, found the Defendant—Not Guilty. Norman, an officer of the Marfhalfea Court, was indicted for an affatilt on Mrs. Jenkins, of Ryder greet, while endeavouring to terve a copy of a writ upon her hufband. The DefenclAnt and his affiflant, came into the houfe by a back door, and were going towards the parlour, when Mrs Jenkins told the Defendant her hu(band was not at hoine. He nfed a great deal of had language, and feiied her by the arms, and Bruck her on the neck, by which a (well ing was created, which endured threk leeks. The haband of the profetuttik was not found in the room, being not in the hotife at all, of courfe the fearch by the officer was entirely At his own risk. The Jury found the Defendant guilty. The Court did not pars fentence, the profccutrtx declaring her Pelf fatisfied with the verdict. F. Baldwin was iodideelfor receiving 211 hit. of iron, knowing the fame to have been !Nen from A. Macfarlane. The profecutor, in con(equence of Come fufpicions, obtained a warrant, and Latched the premifes of the Defendant, where he difcovered feveral pieces of iron, which he was confident were his property. Two boys, who were Imams to the profecutor, had robbed their matter. Thefe boys were, however, not allowed to be examined, as they declared their total ignorance of the nature and obli gation of an oath. A number of very refpdlable witnetics gave the Defendant a good character. Mr. MAIIIMARINO, in his addrefs to the Jitry,l‘th (crud, that the question for them to decide was, whe ther the Defendant received there goods with a know ledge that they were Itolen 1 They .were fold to him at three farthings a pound, according to his °an de claration before the Magittrate, which was greatly be low the valoe.—Guilty. Wednefday, noted: Hedge: was indicted for an at Caul t upon William Vincent, on the $d of January Left. The profecutor, a toy-maker, lived cn Saffron hill ; and the defendant, a clock-cafe-maker, with a lodger of Mr. Vincent. By Come means or other, which did not appear before the Jury, the defen dant obtained tics with the profecutor, his landlord, to the extent of il. s6s. on the (core of rent. The profecutor not relifhing foeh srafaloatial sew gows as the defendant's promifes to pay, on the day mention ed in the inditiment, •tent his filter up !lairs to inti. mate to the defendant, that in a very lbort time he lhobld (land in need of the money that was due, and therefore defired him not to fail. The defendant at this time had been nearly twelve months a tenant of the profecutor. He did not deny to the profecutor's filter that be owed the money, but defired her to fend up her brother; the did fo. and on his coming into the room, he was fainted with a volley of abufe. The profecioor repealed his demand, and in place of receiving a humble acknowledgment of the debt, or any requelt for delay, he was addrefed with—" you villain, you know I owe you nothing I" It was in vain the profecutor endeavoured to convince the de fendant of the impropriety of his condua, for the More tperfnafion he tiled, the more irreconcileable was the defendant. He called the profecutor a va riety of bad names, which /mein/ him to recollea ; I among others, he bellowed on him the epithet of rope. He then collared him on the (lairs, Struck him repeatedly in the face, and finally threatened to heave bite over the banoifiers. When the profecutor came down, be went into Mr. Whitaker's Shop, which was in the front of the hunfe, but even there the fell rim:neat of the defendant parfued him. for while he was telling what had happened, the defendant ruShed in, and recommenced pummelling the profecutor, and, without any ceremony, knocked out two of his teeth. Thole fads were confirmed by the teftimonies of the profecutor's filler, and of Mr. Whitaker. A defence was attempted to be let up, on the evi dence of one witneb, who declared, that as he was pitting the houfe. he heard the prolocutor call the • - Defendant's wife a wt —.e. This, it was inferred by the Learned Connie!, was a provocation farreient to extenuate and mitigate the punilltment, although it could not do away the fad of the affault, as it had been (worn. The Jury found the prifoner Guilty ; and the Court fectenced him to pay a fine of 51. The Court then broke up till Friday. OLD B,IILEr. ~, Yefterd,ay the Seffinns commenced before the LORD MAYOR, Lord ELLINBOROUGH, Mr. Baron THotersrs, Mr. Juftice ROOKI &c. when ninete e n prifoners were tried, thr ee o f whom were capitally conviNd, vie. jaws Roth-well and Mary Paget were indided for conterfeiting and colouring a quantity of pieces of bate metch refembling Stilling!: and Sixpences. Armftrong, a police officer, went to the hntife of the female prifoner, in Caroline -court, Saffron-hill, on the r 7th of February, in company with other offi cers. They proceeded to the fccond floor, where they found her (weeping the room, and Bothwell fit ting at a table. She readily off ere d t o b e f earc h e d, but nalting but good money was found on her.— They however found, in different parts of the room, fifty-nine coUnterfeit pieces, fame of which had re ceived the. 'aft touch, and were fit for circulation.— The neeffary implements for coining were found in the toom, as alto a punch, with the letter S. One of the pieces in queftion bad been marked with this punch. _ A Mn. Brnmmage, the keeper of the houfe where Pa g et lodged, proved that Rothwell was not in in. mate, altbongh he was frequently there. Mr. Baron THOMPSON Rated, that before they Could convia either of the prifoners, the Jury mutt be Codified that the offence had been committed by them. The evidence was circumttantial, for they were not at work when the officers arrived, nor had there been itriy figns to that effee, by their hands, &c. The jury retired for three quarters of an hour, and returned their verdi&—Paget Guilty—Rothwell Not Guilty. frailties Field was,indieed for the fame offence as in the former trial, lint the cireumßances of the cafe were dif :rent. The evidence was as follows t Charles Weir, a tool maker to Meffr , . Bateman and Co. depofed, that his work (hop was up two pair of hairs backward, in Bunhill-row. His windows locked into the windows of the prifoner, who lived in a little alley which was at the back of t h e h ou f e . O n the 13th of March he faw, by the reflection of the fun, fonts round pieces of white metal on the table in the prifoner's room ; they bad the appearance of (billings, and Field fat at the table where they were, and was rubbing them. The next day he watched and faw the priloner pour fomething out of a phial into a ba(n, and put the (billing, into it ; after fome time he took them our, and put them into a cloth, and lhook them for a few minutes. What he raw he com municated to his miller and the officers. Rae, a conftable, in confequence of information, went M the former witnefs's work room on the isith, and faw the prifoner wanting the Millings, after tak ing them out of the aquaforus, and then drying diem in a cuarfe cloth. He, with feveral other officers, went into the houfe in which the prifoner lodged. and having broken open the door of his roo m , feud him with anieteen [billings, and feveral lispences in his hand. On fearching the room, they [band feveral pieces of bate metal unfininted, and four pieces ready for circulation. They alfo found a counterfeit dol. lir, a bottle of aquafortis, and a little cream of tar tar, with tome tools ufed by coincrs in making there bate Millings. The pi ifoner'bhands and nails, when apprehended, were turned black and yellow by the recent itfe of the aquafortis. Lord ELLENSOROUOI4 charged the Jury, who im mediately returned a verdidt of—Guilty—Death. gum: Slade, for felonioufly and burglarioufly breaking and entering the cellar of Job Arnold Mo. ver, with intent to [teal therein. Job A. Glover Paid, that on the 26th of February, at eleven at night, he went into his cellar, at Uxbridge, and feting the prifoner there, whom he knew, he having worked for him Come time before, he called his fervant. The prifoner immediately made his ef cape not of the window. He had that night, about nine o'clock, examined the windows, and faw they were feture ; but, on infpaling them after the prifo ner had made his efcape, he fr.und that the bar had been twilled from one of them. The next day he applied to a Magillrate, and, in tome rime after, the prifoner svas apprehended, being difcovered by a let ter which he wrote to his wife, who lived at Ux bridge, and which was flopped at the poll office. The (minable produced a dark lantern, a large canvas bag, and a chile!, which had been found in the eel. lar after the prifoner efcaped. Mr. Janice ROOKS fummed up the evidence, and the Jury immediately found the prifoner—Guilty— Death. Mary Smith, Sufan Coxen, Cherlate affardy, and Harriet Eftslffh, were indicted for a highway robbery on George Field, putting him in fear, and taking from his Fierfon againa his inclination a gold watch, a pair of gloves, and a handkerchief, his property. Mr. John Field Paid, that he has Chambers in Clif ford's•inn, but has a honk at Chelfea, where he cruelly Seeps: that on the loth of this month he had been dining with foam gentlemen at the Globe Ta vern, in Fleet-lireet ; and about eight o'clock left his company, and went to the Black Jack, in Clare market, where he remained until within so minutes of twelve at night, and proceeded homeward to wards CLelfea : when he came into that part of the Strand which is near the paffage of the One Tun Tavern, he was furrounded by four or five women ; he believed they punted him into the pallage, and there he was plundered of the contents of his pockets, which confified of a bundle of bank notes, a gold watch, a pair of gloves, and a handkerchief ; but he was too much in liquor to know the women, or to fay how they did it. They ran off Into Charles court, and he thought they went into a honk there, at which he knocked violently, but they were not these. The next morning he went to Bow.itreet to give information of the robbery, and on the fame day, in confequence of information, he want to Q,Lteen's•fquare Office, where he law Sufan Coxcn, and Mary Smith, and alto his gold watch—•Cesen having offered to pawn the watch at Wright's, the pawn-broker's, in Tothill-ltreet, laying it was her own, and that the wanted forty Millings on it, but b m ro i l th u r t m lPlai di to at t he ely 0:1 1 1 f he r —they w ee a e l r h e e d r eein e w th er e e i y t b 6 :th ere a fe a c c tlinti o n ni red m Y it an' ted dS . t o ner fficir ard t : w th e e n P t ro to fec a nt;r um an i d c h H ou ts, on one th o e f the Police Seymour -court, after having made force inquiry in the neighbourhood of Vine-ffreet. They had been there but a very little while before three women came into the fame houfe far fume gin. One of then. had a handkerchief in her hand, and Paid the was going to get it mangled, that woman's name was Engin ; the Profecutor immediately knew the handkerchief VS be his; his initials G. F. being upon it. He defiled Hobbs, the Officer, to. take if from her. he /id . the Profecutor was Cure it was his. The woman was Aced how (be came by it ? the raid, that Char lotte Hartley had given it her to get mangled.— They went direaly to Hartley's lodgings, and (he acknowledged giving the handkerchief to Engliti,, laying, the found it a fJrtnight before t flie WAS fearched, and a pair of gloves were found in her poireffi m. The Profecutor knew them to be his a,. ; and b-fore the Officer looked into thein, the Prof, tutor Paid the name of Brown was on the infide of them ; that being the name of his partner, for whom they were made in Wiltfhire, but being too big for Mr. Brown, Mr. Field took them. The property being thus identified, and now pro. duced in Court, and the Police Officers having refitt ed all the eircumftances, particularizing this ac count, nothing remained but two conlideration4 as was Elated to the July by Mr. Juflice Rook —Fink —What was the denomination of the offence ?—Se cond, which of the prifuners were guilty 30:1 the firft, the offence was charged :capitally, namely,. highway robbery —to conftitute whirl there molt be a taking by force; now the Profecutor wat trio much in liquor to prove how the property was taken—it had been done by a mere/weak which wag nut an highway ro bb er y , becaufe there was no time to refill it, or it might be a fimple Sealing, While the Profecutor was unconfcious of it, and that could not be an highway robbery, and therefore the Jury would difmifs the capital pan of the charge, and confider only the Ruling. Upon that the evidence bore upon the prifoner Cozen, who offered to pawn the watch, calling it her own, and on the prifoner Hartley, on whom were found the gloves, and who gave the handkerchief to Englifh ; but as to &elk who had the handkerchief of Hartley, or Smith, who merely accompanied Cozen to the pawnbroker, the evidence was much ton flight to convift them.
