good in a case where it appeared that the girl aas not at the time in a state of pregnancy. Stephen Cullen was indicted for burglariously entering the house of Thomas Wtaight, a farmer at Challock, and stealing therein 3301. in guineas, half guineas, and 7s. pieces. Mary Wraight is the wife of the prosecutor. On the Sth of December she and her husband retired to bed about nine o'clock at night, leaving the maid-servant to fasten up the house. She awoke about half-past one o'clodc, and perceived two persons in the room, one of whom had a lighted candle in his hand. They had each of them a club. She screamed out, and the men made an attempt to cover her head with the bedclothes, hurt she prevented them and got out of bed. Immediately on her so doing, the candle was put out. She ran to the room door and attempted to get down stairs, but was pushed back by one of the men. She then went to the window and called for assistance, when the man who had bef ire stopped her came up and compelled her to desist. He afterwards stood by her, and held his club over her head. The other man passed into an adjoining room, and broke open and ransacked the drawers and cupboard. He returned, and, addressing his companion, said, se There is none there, or I can't find it if there is." He then proceeoed to break open two boxes which stood in the bed-room. He ransacked both ; but took nothing from the first. From the second she saw him take out a pipkin, in which was five bags of gold. After pos sessing himself of the bags of gold, he and the other went away. The bags contained money which had been pet by as the portions of witness's five daughters. She had plenty of time for obset ving the men, and is quite confident of the prisoner being one of the men. He was the man that had the candle in his hand, by the light of which she saw his features quite plain, and it was he that broke open the boxes, and took the money. On leaving the house, the men passed through the garden, and so into t'ie main road. Immediately after they were out of sight, she went down stairs, and found that the fastenings of the back door bad been forced. There was a plough conker lying on the table down stairs. It was not there when she went to bed. Thomas Wraight, the prosecutor, a man of very ad •anced age, corroborated the account given by his wife. The five canvas bags had each originally contained 7.51. 12s. in guineas, half guineas, and 7s. pieces. The name of one of his daughters was mat ked on each bag. His daughters, Ann and Catherine, had each had three gui. neas from their portions, and the other daughters had received different sums, so as to reduce the contents of the five bags to 3431. 12s. Mary Wells is servant to the prosecutor. She fas tened the house on the day in question. She was awoke by a noise in the middle of the night, and saw two men pass through her room towards her master's. After they had passed, she got up, and ran down stairs, and gave an alarm to a neighbour, with whom she returned about ten minutes after, but the men were then gone. John Moorcroft examined—His father keeps the King's Head Inn, at Hollingbrooke. On the 9th of December the prisoner and another man came in, and had some refreshments; he saw the man in company, with the prisoner take out a bag of guineas from his pocket; the bag appeared to contain about fifty; the prisoner inquired if he could get any stockings in the village? witness's father said he would sell him two pair, wh ch he did for Ss. one of the pairs the prisoner put on, and the other was placed by his companion in his hat ; the prisoner changed a guinea to pay for them ; they then left the house, but witness having some sus picion of them, followed them at a distance, in company with a person named Smith, to whom be communicated his suspicions; alter walking out of the village, the pri soner and the other man sat down on the road-side, and were apparently engaged in counting money ; they sat there fur about an hour, and then got up and walked to the middle of the road, and there threw away some thing; they then walked away; witnescand Smith went to the spot, and found some pieces of paper, and the remnants of some canvass bags. Smith, the companion of the last witness, confirmed his evidence, and produced the articles alluded to. Mr. Healey, landlord of the Eight hells at C.nter bury, deposed, that on the evening of the 9th Decem ber, the prisoner and another man came to his house. They made a boast of the money they had got, and called for a bushel of beer. He servea them with a pot, and afterwards with some gin. The prisoner and his companions, in the course of the evening, both made a show of large quantities of guineas and half guineas. Witness prevailed on the prisoner's companion to let , him take charge of his money for the night. Both men were in liquor. A quarrel took place during the even ing. In consequence of something that he heard the next day he detained the money, and now produces it. It consisted of 28 guineas, 60 half-guineas; and 118 seven shilling pieces. Neither of the men were then apprehended. The prisoner left the same night in con serenee of the quarrel. fb e prosecutor was re-called, and identified the pieces of paper and bags found in the road. The papers had been in the bags, and contained memotandums of the sums which had been taken out, and were in his own handwriting. The bags he knew fi om the names on them. He also identified one of the half guineas pt odeced. ' The prisoner was apprehended at Tunbridge in March last, by a person who knew him and had heard of the robbery. The Jury found him Guilty, but recommended him to amity on the ground that no personal violence had been used. The money produced was given to the prosecutor. John Burgess stood charged with stealing a mare, value 20/. the property of Thomas Wm. Parkhurst. The prosecutor proved that the mare was safe in his stable on the evening of the 18th of December, 18'26, and that he missed her the next morning. William Chipperfield, the elder, deposed that he was living as servant to his son-in-law, Cutts, in December, 1826; be knew the prisoner; remembers his coming on the morning of the 19th of Decembrr to Cutts's stables with a gray mare; the mare appeired much fatigued; it was put into the stable by the prisoner's orders, and was fetched away the next day by witness's son, Was. Chipperfield. Cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS—Cutts had since been sentenced to transportation for three several terms of 14 years. Cutts had often been in trouble, but witness never-left his service in consequence. Witness's son was charged with stealing this mate, but was dismissed after one or two examinations ; witness did not then go to the office and clear his son by stating what he had done t Mt. Miller, bead officer at Lambeth-street, proved the recovery of the horse shortly after the robbery, and its return to the prosecutor, who at once identified it. Verdict—hot Guilty. The psisoner was again arraigned for stealing a horse on the I.sth of November, 1826, the property of Mr. Lewis, of Lewisham. In a second count he was charged with receiving it, knowing it to have been stolen. The possession of the horse was clearly trat.ed to she pliaer, and it was proved that he had gives) contradictory account; of the manner in which he came by it. Verd , ct—Gmilty of receiving, knowing it to have been stolen. He was sentenced to fourteen years transportation.. 1 NORWICII,_Avo. 12. Before the LORD CUR? BARON. • Thomas Vaughan ‘s as indicted for having broken and entered the church-yard of the parish of tireat AT Mt nth, in this county, and unlawfully and indecently dug and opened a certain grave there, and Vie body of one Elizabeth Beck, therein buried, unlawfully and in decentl y taken and carried away. The second count in the indictment charged him with having taken the body of a person unknown. Mr. ALDERSON (with whom wall Mr. PRESTON) rated the case. The present indictment was found at the Boraugh Court of Great Yarmouth, and by the de fendant removed, by a writ of certiorari, into this Court, in consequence of the indignation excited in the town of Yarmouth against the offence which had been commit ted within its walls. It happened, that in October last, a runvoir prevailed in that town, that the graves of the dead had been violated, and dead bodies stolen for the purpose of dissection. It was certainly to be lamented that the outcry had been raised; for " where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise ;" but the fact was so; an 1 the survivors of those who had died and been buried in the church-yard far some months preceding the month he had mentioned, had their graves opened, and it was discovered that a great many bodies had been taken away. Amongst these persons was Mr. Beck, whose wife had died in the month of November last. He at• tended her funeral, and the corpse was enclosed in a shrowd and a dimity gown. The body was missing. This increased the alarm, and mothers, husbands, and all who had lost their relatives, were seen running in a state bordering on distraction towards the church yard ; t ters were actually seen carrying about with them fragments of the coffins which had been taken from the graves of their deceased r elatives . The excitement throughout the town was unprecedented. Inquiries were instituted; and it was found that the defendant had been for some time residing in the town under circum stances of great suspicion. The defendant was observed to go out at late hours in the night, bringing in some articles in linen bags, which were sent off in deal boxes in the morning. At first it was supposed that he was engaged in smuggling transactions; but on farther in quiry it was found that the prisoner had been carrying on, in conjunction with a person of the name of Barber, the illegal traffic in question . . The Jury would, no doubt, hear fruits the Learned Sergeant who conducted the defendant's case, that it was necessary for the inter. ests of science that this traffic should be continued, and philosophy and the authority of Paris would also be called in support of the practice. Thank Heaven ! however, the practice of Paris was not the practice of England. Every decent man would expect that when he had followed the body of his wife or daughter to the silent tomb, " where the wicked cease from troubling, and the weary are at rest," their cold clay should there remain till the last trump shall sound and the graves give up their dead. George Beck—l lost my wife, Elizabeth, on the 4th of last November. She was buried in the public burial ground at Great Yarmouth, on the north side, near the. ' palisades. It was buried in a shrowd, and one of her own dimity morning gowns. I went some time after wards to the grave, and found that it had been opened by some one; the lid of the coffin was broken, and the body gone ; this was on the 18th of November. I after* wards examined the grave again with Coble, to see if I could find the gown, which was there, at the font end of the coffin. Robert Barber—l lived in Beccles. I remember the defendant coming last year to my father's house, and my father walked away with him. This was after Mi chaelmas. My father returned in three or four days. He h ft again, and again returned. I don't know whether he went from home again. The defendant came on foot the Sunday alter. I went back with him_to Yarmouth. He told me I was to go with him to look after his horses. When we got there I took out the horses, and put them into stables in Bolter's row. He never told me he wanted me for any thing but to look after his horse. On the Monday night we went to the church yard, getting over the wall.We went up to a tomb -stone, round which there was an iron palisade. The defendant then began to open one ot the graves, desiring me to stand behind one of the tombs to watch if any body came. He then opened the grave and took out a body. It took about an hour; he did it with a shovel. I held a batt,whtn he put the body (a female) into it. He then told me to pull the mould into the grave, as he did. Defendant said, " %Yell have ano ther, ' and we got another in the same way, and carried them to the corner of the church-yard. I helped them over the wall, and the defendant task them both into the stable in Bolter's row. On Tuesd .y morning we packed them in two deal boxes, putting in sawdust and screwing the lids down. I borrowed a wheelbarrow, and they were put onto the waggon, the defendant having put on a di rection. The defendant did not live in the house in Bol ter's-row. I got the bags of Mrs. Clarke, and the boxes and the saw-dust of Mr. Howard, by the order ache de fendant. My wages were 21. a week. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Stoarcs—l was taken to gaol the week before Christmas; I first talked with Mr. Coble about this affair; I have received a subpana to appear against my own father in the next cause. A Gentleman has promised me that I should get off, if I appeared as evidence in this case. Peter Coble, Serjeint at Mace at Great Yarmouth— In December last I searched the defendant's house there, in Bolter's•row ; it is immediately opposite the corner of the churchyard; there is a passage from the house into the stable ; I found some saw-dust and tow. I apprehended the prisoner in Blackman -street, in the Borough; he was taken to the White Lion; one of the officers said to him, " I)—n it, Tom, you'll be lagged this time 1 you're charged, I see, in the warrant, with stealing a dimity gown, as well as the body." Prisoner replied, " You ought to know me better than that; if I have taken it, they'll find the gown in the coffin, I dare say." I afterwards searched the churchyard at Yar mouth, with Mr. Beck. In a grave I found a dimity gown in a coffin, which I showed to Mr. Beck, and it was taken to the police office; I burnt it afterwards. Cross•examined by Mr. KELLY—I don't know how long the prisoner and the officers bad been at the White Lion before he said what 1 have told ; they were speaking qu'te in a jocular manner. Job Horace proved making the packing-cases for the prisoner; they were two feet tour inches long, 14. inches deep, and the tame wide. One day, at a funeral, I saw the prisoner attending it ; he looked into the graves, and told me the ages of the people buried in them. We made seven boxes in all. The price was ss. 6d. This was in October. Mrs. Clarke—l made some linen bags for the prisoner, but it was innocently done; I'd no Wear what they were for; I'm so 'fused! They were to be made as long as a woman's gown, and as wide as a woman's apron, and to be sewed with strong twine; young Barber paid for them; the prisoner and Barber said, " They hoped they should have good luck;' I once saw the pi isoner receive ,and open a letter, and he shook his head sad, and sais.: " It was but a very little." Mr. Sergeant &rotas •(with whom was Mi. KELLY, addressed the Jul) far the xielenda t. Ire c•rt.iiig to t consideration of this case,•he thou4ht n right to make a few general nbsetiratir us. The .I..ry hid been told tha.. the to s n of Yirmotith had been in a state at vie tement so high and so perilous to the administration of justice, that the learned Recorder of that town had t.. 1.1 them that he thought the defendant had d'.ne quire right in 'ringing the case before the Jury f a place far distal • fr.rii the scene of local prejudice. He,however (the *earn ed Sergeant), well knew that, amidst the torrent of poou 1 , r p se j in d uce wuich might t xist in some places, there was one sanctuary and one tribunal where prejudice is neve! 4dmitted, and where the administration 01 justice is not polluted by the jalousies which may ezi.t Out of don's: that sanctuary is an English Count of Justice—that bunal an Engltsh Jury. A long tine had not elapsed since, even in this cnu ntry, J titles were impannelled to try persons accused of the oftener of witclicr alt. Why did hi make these ob•er vat ons? Because we were still living in an age in which the dawn of phil-soppy %as rising. and the light of science diffusing its cheetf influence around, but in which the datkiiess which formerly over-ran the country was not altogether banished. "1 own," said the Learned Counsel, '• I rejoice, I glory, in the advance of what is sneeringly called philosophy; and I do earnestly hope that the progress of the science of surgery will not be retarded by popular prejudice; above all, I hope that an English Jury will not be found to lend their aid to its retardation. When we recollect the sad catalogue of bodily infirmity to which our na ture is subject, for which no remedy can be found ex cept in the skilful hand and the enlightened mind of the anatomist and the surgeon, we shall be sensible of the necessity of guarding the science with jea lousy against any attack which may be made upon it." He spoke in a place which the highest authority in cases of surgery—the most enlightened member of his profession (Sir Astley Cooper)—says is distinguished not in England alone, but throughout Europe, for the celebrity of its medical men in one dreadful dis ease with which human nature is afflicted (calculus). If a Jury felt any bias in a case of this kind, it would, he was sure, be rather in favour of a man, who stood before them, confessedly, the victim of popular preju dice. A struggle, it was notorious, was at this time going on between this country and the countries of the continent, on this very important subject of the supply of bodies for anatomical dissection. The ener gies of our own cout.try, he was satisfied, would ulti mately prevail, and science would not be banished from its shores to seek in distant climes for that pr. tection it could not find at home; but at such a time, he hoped the Jury would not lend even an indirect aid against the progress of anatomy in this country. The Learned Sergeant then took an elaborate view of the evidence fur the prosecution, and contended that the witness Barber was unworthy of credit. The LORD CHIRP BARON, in summing up the case, told the Jury that all they had to consider was, whether it had been proved to their satisfaction that the de fendant had been guilty of taking from a grave in the church-yard at Yarmouth the dead body either of Mrs. Beck, or of a person unknown? It was undoubtedly true, that without subjects, as they were called, we could have no good anatomists or surgeons; but it was the province of the Legislature to alter the law which at present existed on this point : they had only to do with the facts, and upon them their verdict must be founded. The Jury, after some consultation, found the prisoner Guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Ain Kean was re-examined on a charge of having obtained goods under false pretences from various persona. The prisoner had been remanded, that further evidence might be adduced upon the charges already stated, but no such evideoce was tendered. Mr. Edwards. a woollen draper, in liegent-street, stated that in 1827 he supplied some cloth to the prisoner while he was carrying on bodiless as a tailor in Rathbone-place, in payment for which he obtained three bills of exchange, and not one of them proved worth a farthing. Brand, the officer, was then questioned respecting the three bilk which were found oil the prisoner's person, and Brand said he felt convinced there was no such person as David Dickinson, of Hor ton, whose name was used as the acceptor of the bills. They were made payable at Messrs. Young's, in Smithfield, but that house knew neither the acceptor nor drawer of the bills. The prisoner contended that there was such a man as David Dickinson in exis tence, and that he lived at Falcon, by Boston. His attorney also produced a letter which he had received that morning by post from David Dickinson, from Boston, and he said he had two persons then In Court to prove that David Dickinson was alive.—The pri soner was again remanded. The driver of the hackney coach, No. 1035. was charged with ill-treating his horses, in Newgate-street, at 12 o'clock on Siturday. One of the Officers of the Society for preventing Crueky to Animals, stated that be flogged los horses severely through the street, although they were galloping at the time, and the toot par *enters were so alarmed that they fled into the shops for shelter.— There was some person sitting on the box with the defendant. The coachman said, he was hired :o carry some servants from Piccadilly to the Bull and Mouth Inn, and he was told that unless he performed the distance in 25 minutes they would Min the stage; he, therefore, did his best with his horses, " put 'em along, but nothing out of the way." The coachman's mistress said he was an excellent servant ; be had been employed by her three years, and never brought his horses home with a mark upon them. Mr. Alderman ANSLRY said be would give him the benefit of this good character, and also of his honesty, in not having answered the charge with a tissue of falsehoods, and be would fine him only Ss. instead of 51. His conduct in whipping his horses, while they were already going at a dangerous pace. could not be overlooked. He was glad to find the Society's people at work again, as he knew they did a great deal of good when they exerted themselves before. The defendant immediately paid the fine and costs. BOW-STREET. Beciamr.—Yesterday a respectable-looking man, named Danvers. applied to the sitting Magistrates, Sir RiCHAIID MIMIC and Mr. HALLS, for a warrant against his wife, to whom he had been mar ried some time, but whose former husband (William Burns) was now found to be living. Mr. Haxt-s—lf you have any proof of this, we have no objec tion to grant a warrant. Applicant—l am prepared to prove her marriage with Burns, which took place at &. Sepulchre's, in 3815. Mr. Hau.s--Pray how have you received the information? Applicant—l can produce a letter from Burns himself, in which he states all particulars. I can produce the certificate of their mar -1 eine, wherein she is called Elizabeth Hutchins; but flora In formation I have received, which I think I may rely upon, I un derstand I shall be able to procure half a dozen other certificates of her marriages, although under different names. Mr. Haus—That is ito matter, If she can be identified as the same person. Applicant—l think whatever day she appears before your Wor ship I shall be able to prove more cases than one against her. Mr. Haas expressed a wish to assist him in this affair, and granted a warrant for that purpose. HATTON-GARDEN. A man named Sterwood was charged with swindling. Mr. Morse, a glass-manufacturer, in Upper Whitecross-street, and who has also a standing in Fleet-market for the sale of his ware, stated, that about a month since the prisoner, whom he had previously known, came to his shop, and said that he was fitting up a house in York -terrace, Regent's Park, for a Captain Morris, who wished him to procure some decanters, and other articles of glass for his use. Believing his story, he consented to his taking two decanters for the Captain's inspection, with which he went awi,y. In two or three days the prisoner came again, and pruduccu a letter, pur porting to be from Captain Morris, and aduresud tar himself, de siring hint so procure some cut dishes, Etc. Tb.se atticles the prosecutor gave the prisoner tor the Captint's in. -ter-tints. He had since discovered that no such persue resided its it e I lice as Captain Morris.—He was committed tor WORSIIIP-STREET.

Sarah Marlin and limy 'lnn Storer, two girls of the tows, wer e charged with a violent assault and rubbery nu Miss Smith, a pi e% Lady of respectability. The complainant stated, that on the pre. vious evening, as she was proceeding home, up Parliament -street, between the Horse Guards and Charing C.,,ss, the two prisoners and another woman came up to her, and abused her in the gm," language; she hurried on to endeavour to avoid them, being m i d i , alarmed, when the prisoner. Martin, struck her a violent I:now ess the side of the bead, which broke her bonnet, and at the tame time snatched at her brooch, which she broke or, and almost strangled her by pulling a ribbon which she wore round her neck. D ur e n the time, the other prisoner struck her several violent blows at sh e back. Fearful that she should be murdered, she ran back, and at the Horse Guards she met a watchman, who took the prima* Martin into custody. The watchman deposed to taking Martin into custody; the other followed him to the watch-house, and it was with difficulty he tamed the young Lady from her violence—he got assistance, wad had her secured. Henry Duly, the Night Constable, deposed that Storer. *hid* was taking the charge, seized the young Lady's bonnet and tent into pieces,using at the same time the most disgusting languige. Mr. Maaatirrr ordered them to be fuUy comnilttesl fuir the parties to be bound over to prosecute. UNION-HALL.

TOWN•HALL Ass Masons was charged with being concerned in robbing Thomas Alien, a mariner, of Long Westgate. Scarborough. The prosecutor was inveigled by a companion of the prisoner into a house in the Mint, and went to bed with her. In the n►iddie et the night he was awoke by having his shins kicked, and found that his first bed-fellow had fled, and been succeeded by a damsel with her shoes and clothes on, who he had not time to interrogate h► fore the prisoner came in, and insisted he should get up, as the bed was her s, and if he did not do it voluntatily, be should be handed out; on searching for his money, three sovereigns, he perceived he had been eased of it ; but his watch, from having slipped bye beneath the pillow under his back, still remained, and he placed 1 on the table while he dressed, when the second girl immediately disappeared with it; but the prisoner not being equally alert, he kept hold of her till an °Meer came to his auistance.
