.~..wr.~ r .. OLD BAILEr. • --- Yetterday feventeen prifoners were tried, one of whom was capitally conviBed, viz. • ltd' and n (Ph for affaulting Robert Battler on the highway, the 27th of November, and robbing him of a Reel watch chain and feal, value 45. Robert Bat tlet, who keeps the Gloucefter Arms in Rochefter-row, Wellminfier, Rated, that on the 27th of November, he weak into the fields before his houfe to fee a foot raine.. White eagerly look. ing at the runners, he felt fomething at his poc. ket, and immediately grafped the wrill of the pri loner, who had hold • of his watch chain, and kept pulling at it till it brilie. Be, the witnefs, Gill held the prifoner by the arm, till fame of the gang comingup, gave him a violent blow on the mouth, and forced him to let go his hold. This happened at tome dißance from the crowd, to which the prifoner and his affociates returned, aftereefcaping from the profecutor. A Mr. Williams, an acquain tance of tht profecutor, came where he was, and perceiving his mouth bleeding, alked him what was the matter ? The witnefs replied, that he had been robbed; upon which Williams diced him why be did not apprehend the robber ? The witnefs Paid, tbathe might endangerhis life among fo many of them. The prifoner was at this time obferved withdrawing from the field. Williams and others immediately purfued, and in half an hour after the witnefs heard that he was taken. Francis Williams Rated, that he obferved the thee between Bartlet and Nelfon. After corro borating the evidence of Bartlet, be proceeded to inform the Court that he and another perfon of the name of French purfued -the prifoner, crying out, g‘ Stop thief I" who, hoitiVer, fucceeded for Tome time in efcaping from kveral people, by ex claiming, 66 A bollard child ! A baftard They overtook him .at laft id a public houfe, and delivered him into the cullody of Blythe, the con- Amble, of whom he Teemed to be in great dread. .French's evidence was madly of the fame pur. pole se that ciMillisuns. the priforier, who was ajoung man, made no fatisfaeory defence. The J udge (ciA H ail furn nted up the evidence, and obterved , that t ough this crime was committed anidft a crowd, the (La , tine againli highway robbery necefarily applied to the prefent cafe. As the circumftances of the robbery were proved beyond the poffibility of doubt, the Jury were forced to bring in their ver. die—Guilty—Death. Fourteen were convieed of felony, viz.' - , David MOW and ya f t:, for Reeling, in filver, and bank notes, to the amount of 'l5l. Efter t and upwards, from the pockets of John Dean , in dwelling honk of George Clarke, on the ginning of thetoth of Noveniberlaft. . Dean-had fpeqt between one and two hours, in drinking with a friend, with .whom helad bufi nets to tranfa& in Clare Market. In - this (pace of time he drank three tumblers of brandy and wa ter, and began to find his fpirits fomewhat elevat ed, and his thoughts confuted by the firength of thole potatinns. A - little before ten o'clock at night be feporated from his friend, and walked home ward... He had pared a Ilion (pace from Nor thumberland Houle, dont Parliament-fireet, when the two prifoners at the bar joined hins; Paid tail CAW that be was intosicated, and infifted char :thief EA fee him home. He would 'have declined their company and attentions; but theydeclared WI were Itow.areet officers, and that it was their bufinefs to conduct drunken men like him out of the danger tithe aftetA. So fa - mg, they fazed ea& one of his arms. and led him on between them. He felt hintfeiffo confined that his pockets were an* quite at their mercy. In this fituation he bad, with confiderable forpicion and fear of their defigns, walked on about an hundred yards between titan, when be cause within fight of the Deb of Clarence-public hook. Me invited them totome into it, andliave fotnething to drink, inl the feeret hope that be might there contrive to rid himfelf of them. They entered, and were follow ed by a third man, evidently an afociate of the other two. They took care to carry Mr. Dean into a feparate box in the tap-room ; where he treated them, firft with a pot of porter. then with three Millings worth of brandy and water, and one (bill'ing's worth of oyfters. He changed firlt one (even (killings piece, and then another, to pay thefe things as they were brought in. At length the two pretended Bow.ftreet officers, with their comrade, rote up and went away. Mr. Dean was, by this time, a good deal more intoxicated than at the firti. Mr. Clarke, the landlord, tent for a hackney coach to convey bun home. George Smith, the hackney coachman, who was called, atked,-“ Who was to pay him ?" Clarke then ob feryed, that Mr. Dean's breeches pocket had been cut into. - And Mr. Dean himfelf, examining his pockets, found that they had been rifled of every thing. He was put into the coach, and by the co:Osman faithfully conveyed to his refidence, in Tufton-ftreet. William Blythe, a police officer, that very evening, (non after the prifoners left the Duke of Clarence, came upon the prifoners while they were, with a third perfon, fufpicioufly bufy in , forriething like the divifion of their fpoil. Chi the evening of Saturday the 23d of November, they were, upon Mr. Dt an's information, and Blythe 's fufpiciont, taken into cuftody. Mr. Dean's evi dence that he had the money when he was in the public houfe with them, the evidence that it was gone when he went away, and the evidence that none but the prifoners had opportunity to take it, perfealy (edified the Jury The' Judge (Gansa) hated, that ftealkg in a private dwelling haute any thing above the value of 4os. was by law a capital offence. If, however, the property did not belong to that particular duel. ling houfe, it only amonnted to ample felony.— This was the cafe in the prefent inftance. He then fummed up the evidence to the jury, who immediately brought in their verdift --Guilty. Cifilliams Merrier', late a private in one of the re giments of Guards, was charged with Rending a calk, containing 4olbs. weight of tamarinds, Laid as the pr iperty of the King; and by a fecond count , , of Thomas Annifs. *ere very Ample ia the indiitmeat, as that — af The 111=a111111.1111111111111111111111611111111.."1* it peitred tisk! . dirt.'

It was about five' o'clock N the evening, and feveral perfons were about the place, fo the map cle-maiN was conceived, and partially executed with the utmoft fisqfroid ; however, the profecusor arrefted his progrefs, and queftioneo him about the proceediag, when he Paid he got the keg from a man : this explanation of his condud not being fatisfadory, he took him by the collat, and had him fecured. With refped to the identity of the calk, fame invelligation took place. The profecutor was clear upon the point. The calk was one of thofe given in his charge, and it had tht broad R upon it (the head of an arrow), as was ufually marked upon all property in a fimi lar fituation. ' One of the witneffes (poke with more particular pofitivenefs as to the point of identity, having feen the calk in quellion on board' a veffel, as well as after it was landed : he Paid the leiter J. J. in a diamond were marked upon it. Some other ne ceiTary fads in the cafe were depofed againft the prifoner. After which he was called upon for his defence. He Paid, as he was coming from his work the evening the affair took place, he was met by a man genteelly dreffed, who afked him if he would take the calk in queflion as far as the next Rivet; while he was doing it, he was flopped by the pro fecutor, and at the moment he loft fight of him. The ref he left to his Counfel. The Serjeant Major, an ordinary Serjeant two, and a private, were forthwith brought for ward on the fcore of character ; this was given very favourably. The laft witnefs defcribed him to be equally a good foldier and a good man : he had been wounded in Holland, and was lately re commended to the Chelfea penfion. The Jury, however, on the above evidence, were conftrained to pronounce a verdict of—Guilty. T. Edwards and T.Cronins, for ftealing a pocket handkerchief, the property of a perfon unknown; H.

Friday afternoon was found in the river at Cambridge, by Fordwich Bridge, James Barham. He had been miffing ever fierce the Saturday evening. Monday fe'nnight was found drowned oneCrofs, an induftrious mafon, living in the neighbourhood of Taunton. This difco very was owing to a little dog that went with him to Taunton market, on Saturday, and returned without his maiter next morning.

It is fuppofed to be the fpot where his mafter had leaned his head, and fell over.— On further enquiry in the town, it was found he had left a Friendly Society, to which he belonged, rather late and intoxi cated. A diligent fearch was immediately made, but he was not found till Monday, driven a confiderable ditance down the river. At Mutford, a child four years old, belonging to Mr. W.

WHEN Profeffional Men of education and r:- fponfibility deviate from the general fyftcm by the re lation of a peculiar Branch, the fanetion of long continued fuccefs is the belt criterion of fuperiority. Ten years have I devoted my pradice to the exclufive treat ment of THREE DISORDERS, and the fuccefsful refult et my plan gives me additional ardour to oppofe as far as 1 ant able the ravages of thole complaints which are thd molt import ant in the catalogue of human infirmities. After initiation into every branch as an Army Surgeon, formed a with at an early period of Practice to refeue rndrndrt als from the ignorance of uneducated Men, or the equally dan gerous precipitancy of general Pradtitioners. The THREE DISORDERS, to the cure of which I Lave de voted my attention, comprise every fpeeieg of VENEREAL INFECTION, whether of a recent or long duration.—adly. All kinds of DEBILITY, whether arifing from the habits of Schoolboys, or the indulgence of mature age, and laftly that de rangement of the fyltem in Women which is called BARREN NES3 or STERILITY. Numerous difeafes are the refult of ignorance or hafte in the treatment of a limpla Gonorrhea, and it not unfrcquently hap pens that the feeds of Life are poifoned by the indiieretion of an unguarded hour. By a fuperior method fuch complaint 4 are card) , cured, and even where others have failed, I trust ;hat I may prefume to offer a radical re-eftablithment. Few, however, are, the cafes of complicated dillrcfs hi tile difordcr, compared with the calamitous fituations of Mali wh° from indulgence in a SOLITARY VICE, or the prevalent Gaie ties of a faihionable Life, acquire that Rate of Debility which is the unavoidable confequence of fuch pernicious habits.

A few. days fince, Mr. Bonn received a letter from Motif.

This young man sometimes allumed the rank of an Officer in the Life Guards, at other times a Captain in the Light Dragoons, and once he (tiled hinifelf a Lord. He intro duced himfelf to Mr. Sandwell, under the name of Captain George Wilbraham, of the 3d, or King's own regiment of Dragoons faid that his brother (Henry Wilbraham) was Lieutenant-Colonel in the Firft Regiment of Foot Guards ; and that his father refided, when in .
