No witneifts Appeared in his behalf. Mr. Juitice CHAN, Alt E (Nerved, that the offence as it appeared in evidence, did not conftitute That of highway robbery. There was no putting in fear, nor was it apparent that the neceffary degree of force was ufed. The Jury immediately found the prifoner cfria, e Paling only. CLEAKE NIVE LL SESSIONS. Htces's HALL—On Saturday Br main was indided for that he, intending to free and dif charge himfelf from the maintenance of a certain male child, unlawfully begotten by him on the body of Mary Wane, and with intent to charge the parith of St. Sepulchre with the maintenance •of it, dropped it in College court, Cow Crofs llreet, and did there leave and defert it. The painter in this cafe was a very decent look- I ing man, and was Rated to have been clerk to a brewer, and in fimilar employs. The mother of the child defcribed her felt as being his houfekeeper, ' and gave the following account of the tranraaion She tiiid the had lived, at Mae-end many years, and lately in the fervice of the prifoner : the was delivered of a male child, of which the prifoner was the father, on the tath of May, at the pri loner's houfe. On the 29th of July, the went out, and when the returned home about ten in the ' evening the could not get in doors. She went away, and returned the next mottling, when the found the child was gone. She afked the prifoner what had become of it ? He told her it was gone where it would be much better provided for. She never afterwards law the child until the of- Amp& It was then dead, and the Paw it in its coffin. Being crofs examined, the admitted the had fawn the child to one Charley Barnes, who was a freilor. But (he did it, The Paid, by the perfualion of the prifoner, who at that time was a candidate for the office of fezton to the parifh; and he told her if it were known that be was the father of her child, it would deftroy all his hopes of fuccefs. Martha Judd depored, that the had been for Tome time in the print workhonfe ; -but that - the went out to nurfe the tsR witnefs in her lying-in. On the day Rated in the indiament, the prifoner gibed her if Ae would drop the_ child ? She Paid, the could not do inch a thing. However, they both went out that night, and took the child-with them. They troffer, Moorfields and went come where about Smithfield ; the could not tell ex aaly where. The prifoner then took the child from her and went a. little way, and thortly re turned without it. She did not afic what he had done with it. This witnefs affeaed to be very deaf, and would not heir any quettion the difliked to answer. .A woman who lived in College•lane Rated, that the heard the cry of a child uuder.her windows, about twelve or one o'clock, which made her go out, where the found the infant. It was wrapped up in a Panty bit of flannel,and laid with its belly bare upon the ground. The place it was laid in Was a corner where men from a neighbouring pnblic-houfe were ufed to make water, and the little creature lay with its face in a puddle of dirt and urine. When the firß took it up it was fo co vered with dirt and filth that , the could not difco. ver of what fez it was. The overfeers of St. Se pulchre's proved that the child was chargeable to their parith until it died. Mr. At.Lav, for the defendant, at firß took an objeaion in point of' law. He contended, that the allegation of the indiament, averring it to be the child of the defendant, was not proved ;• a ballard, ' be laid, by the laws of England, was . fiftsq Min ; • and that it could not be raid to be the fon,of the defendant, until it wasfafisted by an order of Ma giarates, which was the only legal evidence of the: Eak. This being over-ruled, he,arldrefed the Jury, and infitled they ought not to convia the. defen dant on the teßimony of two fuch abandoned wretches as the two &ft witneffes proved them (elves to be; the firß by owning the had perjured herrelf, and the latter admitting her participation in the aa of expofing the child. The j?ry, however, found a verdia of—Guilty. Mr. Maumee two lamented, that the Court could notdo the jußice it witted, by putting the - Fanner in the pillory ; he feared, if they were to do this, an incenfed populace would carry the pu nithment farther than was intended. They, there fore, only fentenced him to two years imprifon merit. Yeflerday 7.hn Gaper, one of thole Italians who go abOut the town vending telefcepes, barometers, Ste. was indiaed for a mirdemeanor, in puhlithing two obfcene and indecent prints at Tottenham, in the County of Middlefex, on Saturday the 3 ith inllant. Mr. KNAPP and Mr. Ka ow Les were both employ ed on the part of the profecution, which was com menced at the ittitance of that very excellent and laudable Society, inilituted in Hatton.garden, for the fuppremon of Vice. The learned Counfel, in opening the cafe to the Jury, commented with . much feeling on the enormity of the crime, of en deavouring by means of ebfcene prints, Ste. to de bauch the minds of the younger branches of foci. ety Such publications as thefe•exißed to an " 4- • c Wept ; near Soo perfons were employed in the dreadful occupation of dittributing prints of,. the defcription of atofe for which the Defendant V•a-S indiaed. The danger refniting from the es tenfive fele of fuel thingsma to the minds of die Jury, as hulbands and tethers, be too obvious.. .

The Detention& then raid, the demand for thefe prints was fo great, that be could not at that time let him have any quantity : he *as then zoing to Tottenham, about the neighbourhood of which place he ferved a great number of refra Ms Lat.lit...6, who were very ,food ariorner,r to him, as were alt .

The winters ful lowed him,-. ariz! faw him lisp at feveral ref/xi-qt.- houfet, after nhich he again aceotted him, and there purchafed of him for one pound; the two prints, which were the ground of the indiament, and which were !hewn to the Jury. On the 15th, he took Ray, one of the Police Officers, with him again to meet the Defendant, who, however, at that time, had no fuch things with him. This witnefs was clerkly examined by Mr. Alley on the part of the Defendant. Ray, the Officer, appre hended the Defendant in confequence of a war rant a but, on fearching him, did not find any in decent prints &c. Mr. Hump hries, who is Solicitor for the Society , and who of cour fe profecuted on this (q. cation,. produced a note, which was given by the firß witnefs Grey to the Defendant, appointing a place of meeting , &c. He further Rated, that the Defendant, in his account of himfelf, and the tranfaaion at Tottenham, when before the Ma gittrate, charged Grey with having offered him the prints for Pale, inflead oT the Defendant's of fering them to Grey. Mr. ALLEY, in a fpeech of confiderable length, endeavoured to imprefs the minds of the Jnry with an idea, that the evidence-of Grey was not entitled 1 to the fame credit 'with that of other witnetfes, from his having confined himfelf a fort of infor , mer,with which fet of people,from the frequent oc cafion they hid to take an oath, it had lott.half i:.s confequence. After dwelling on this, and on the deficiency of the evidence, marmuch as the Profecutors had not called the matter, miftrei or fervants of. the public-houfe where the meetings were faid to have taken place, or the fervants of the different honfes in the neighbourhood of Tot tenham, where the Defendant was Rated to have flopped, he faid he was in poffeffion of evidence to prove a complete alibi ; and then called the woman of the houfe in which the Defendant lodged, in Turnmill-Rreet, who (wore that on Saturday the nth intl. the Defendant was at home the whole of the day until fix or (even in the evening. Three other iritneres were examined, all of them Italians and*Foreigners, who alfo potitively fwore to the fait Of the Defendant's being at home on the i Ith. They were feverally crofs-examined by Mr. KNAt r and Mr. Knowtes, and their having been ordered out of Court while each was examining, "produced Tome little variation in their evidence, but they all fwoie to the Defendant's having been at home-from morning until evening on the day named in the indictment. Mr. Knowtes, in reply to mi. Alleyiremarked, that the Gentlemen who compored the Society which had with fo much honor to themfelves taken up there fort of profecutions, did not intend to ex pole to public cenfare thok fainibes whiYmight bc unfortunate- enough to have a mire, daughter, dr fitter, inclined to purchafe fuch indecent and dia bolical prints. It was enough for than to bring the venders of fuch things to jullite, and not in an inquifitorial manner to private things which might deßroy the harmony of private life. Mr. Juttice Cowan"-, who was in the Chair in • the abfence of Mr. Mainwaring, remarked to the Jury, that in finding the Defendant guilty, they mutt believe the four witneffes who had been ex amined on the part of the Defendant to have been guilty of wilful and corrupt perjury, as the tranf aaion was fo recent it was not porfible for the day which they fo pofitively (wore to, to be for got ca. The Ju: y,however, after Tome deliberation, pronounced him Guilty, and the Court fentenced him to fix months imprifonment. On WeAlnefday, night, the Warehoufe of Mr. Puas', in Cloak lane, Watling-ftreet, was broke open, and robbed of property to the amount of near aooold confifting of wearing apparel, watches, and jewellery, fent there for fale by different Pawn- i brokers. . Early on Sunday morning Tome villains broke into A warehoulain Coleman -greet Buildings, and lobbed it of goods to a contiderable amount, which it is conjeitureel were taken away in a hackney coach, as one was feen waiting near the fpot. The fame morning the area to N 0.4, in the fame Build ings, was entered, and the whole of the provifions laid in for Sunday carried off, in all probability by the before-mefitioned villains. 'Sunday night, about fevers o'clock, as a poft i cliaite was driving up the Old Bailey, a daring ' villain got upon the perch pole, as tile chaife paired the felons door of Newgate, and cut the cords that fattened a portmanteau, &c. in front, but the driver obfcrving a man under the chaife, (who he at the 1 momentconceivedhe had run over) who direly ran i off, he osamined the fattening:, difcovered their intention, and prevented any further attempt. A Tailor of the name of James Burke, was com mitted from Shadwell_Office for trial ,)n Thurfday laft, on fitfpicion of healing out of the bed-room of Mrs. M.Ginnis 341. in Bank.notes, which in part he diffipated, in order to &milli a room for an intended wife, who was a fervant, who was ta ken up as a parzy.in the robbery, but admitted an evidence againfl him. The fituation he was /placed: in had fuck influence on hii naves, that he died on Saturday morning in eonvulfions in the Old , Bailey before the hour•of his, trial. On his exa mination at Shadwell he fhewed fymptoms of a, moR nervous diforder. lOn Saturday a failor,t barged a young woman who had ace/tiled him nearshe Tower, with put tting her band into his waißcoat pocket , and Real., .iug a.nase pound ante, as the .was liming by him in pa palgic 'loaf& , The Lord Mayor inquired what amouut lustatlthad in his pocket before the fup. poled. thsfe instuiostunitted, awl ftrdered.him W. res she r ' n He, pulled our feverali itsialussi,,, eogetber w asisit' ..4...............—...611....aluir ....* prized at the circ;Mftattee, and ttntvillThg to make the unfortunate girl (who appeared not more than 15) any reparation; but his Lortifltip, with his accultorned humanity, infilled upon having the Cum given, which the had been falfely charged with, and difmiiled her.; having had a promile that the would immediately leave a comic of life which mud have inevitably loon brought her to inifery and an early grave. • Matt Saturday about fix o'clock in the evening, as Mrs. Oliver, of Layton,. was walking in her Garden, a man in a failor's drefs came over the Garden Wall, and robbed her of what money the bad about her, and then fettled the-wall,and made his elcape. On Tuefday a man of the name of Dovey, a dealer in draw, Ice. was committed to Worcefter Caine Gaol, for throwing his wife out of the firft ftorey window, about 15 or i,6 feet high from the ground, early that morning, on the county fide of Leech-greet, in Woreelter, where the now lies dangeroufly ill.- Thomas Baker, the 'opulent farmer in Soinerfet ibirei who was convided at Taunton of receiving (beep, knowing them to be fiolen, died, a few days ago,_ on board the Captivity convict fhip. On the 29th ult. as Mr. Foßer Parfons, printer, of Ennis, and his wife, were taking'an airing in a gig on the Clare road, the „horfe took fright at fotne boys who were hurling, and Mr. Parfons, endeavouring to refcue his wife from her perilous fituation, broke his leg in fo dreadful a manner, that he fuffered immediate amputation. The gangs of robbers, who plundered at Peck ham and Bartholomew fairs, having liolen the hats of perfons they ill treated, one of them was difcovered, and committed from the Manlion.honfe on Thurfday, in con fequence of having one,of thefe hats on. There are now on board the Glatton, lying at Spithead, 170 fenrale convicts, deftined for New South Wales, 27 of whom are not ao years of age! The following melancholy circum fiance happen ed on Tuefday night laft Mr. Tyrol., who kept a broker's (hop near the White Hart,•Chel fea, another Gentleman, and Mrs. Tutor, had fpent the day at Fulham. They hired a' boat to return by water, and left Fulham about half pall to o'clock. By fome accident the boat was over- Set, and they were all three drowned. Next day the body of Mr. Tyror was found afhore on the 'mud near Batterfea bridge. There was no Oat on the body ; and from this circerntlance, if is con. jedured that Mr. TuTorhad been employed rowing the boat. Mrs. Tyrol. was taken up by the men employed to drag for the bodies. The other body 'has not been found, though the River was drag ged for it during three fuceeffive days. On Friday the Coroner's Jury fat on the bodies which were found and returned a verdid of Accidental Death. Mr. luroi' was much refpeded in his neighbour hood, and his death is greatly 'lamented by his friends. - FlRSS.—Sunday* fire broke out in the premifes. of Mr. Cooper, fituattsl near the Patent Shot Manufadory, near Coper's-gardens, Lambeth, which confumed the whole of the buildings, be %des damaging the cooperage, and the lead-met ter's adjoining. We are lorry to add, that nine hprfes out of eleven, kept •by Mr. Cooper, were burnt to death, and that one man,-endeavouring to draw them from the liable,• was fo dreadfully bruifed by the roof failing in upon him, that he is not exireded to live ; five others were alto maim ed at thefame time, and two children nearly crufh ed to death by the engines coming unexpededly upon them. The fire broke out about one o'clock at noon, and being low water, though fo contigu ous to the llamas, the engines were unable to play for , a great lens of tame. By four, how ever, the fire way prevented from fpreading, and the alarm had ccafed among the Many poor fami lies who Surrounded this diftreffing fcene. The horfe-keeper, who lived in the hay-loft, had fallen ;Weep in the (tables, and having engaged to dint at a neighbouring public-houfe, was roofed at one o'clock by the pot-boy, who found !brae difficulty in railing hint from his dumber& In five minutes' after the Rabies were in Barnes, and but for thisl providential interference he muff have fallen a vidim to their ravages. • The premifes where the fire happened belonged to Mr . rom *horn Mr. COWLS. Tent ed the liable. Mr. HITCHCOCK, iiITCHCOCX had to the amount of tool. worth of planks of wood and other timber belonging to him eonfumed. The premifes, we underliand, were infured, but the property was not. Mr. Cooree is a very induftrious man, and fupports a-large family of young children by letting teams ; hi; dock .was not infured, and it is flip ', pored the misfortune will be his utter ruin, unlcfs his more opulent neighbours affift-him. His wile and family were teen running about in a Rate of diftradion, while he, with philofophic patience, was driving to coMfort them : the fight was fo moving that it drew tears of compaffion from the eyes of the beholders. On Saturday night about eleven &chick, a fire broke out at a bottle in Round Curt, St. Mar tin's-le-Grand, Newgate-fireet, which confumed the back part of two houfes, together with part of the furniture ; the flames were, by the timely al (Mance of the firemen and engines, got under without doing any further damage. The lots occafioned by the late dreadful fire at' Liverpool is of the largeft magnitude of any within our recolleaion, We thought the calculation fird made of it, of a million Reding, was exaggerated, but every letter from thence makes the eltimate as confiderable. Happily no lives have been loft. On Thiirfday evening, about nine o'clock, a fire balloon defcended upon a lower fkylight, at the luck part of the Temple of the Mules, Finlbury fquare : it was fortunately feen by the fervants ot Mars.
