We have been cruizing for fome time, in hopes of falling . in with. a large veffel, which is (aid to have made Its appearance between Travancore and Cape Comorin, in April haft, and which, during the dark nights, had continued to fend on (bore feveralFrench Emilfarier, charged with difpatches to the native Princes, hoftik tothe Bt itifh interefts in India; Come of thole perfons have Since been apprehended by the Ra jah. Several large praams or gun boats have been con ftrufted in the creeks of the ifland, and are brought under cover of the batteries, where they are arranged in formidable order. They appear to be principally manned by the /wives, under the command of Eu ropean Officers. Thefe veffels carry fome very heavy guns, but they are only calculated to at on the de fenfive' in cafe of an attack on the ifland, which, from the movements, of our fquadron, it has long been in dread of. This meafure has indeed been in contemplation of our gallant Commander, Sir ED WARD Pet Lew ; but we mutt be cautious of endan• goring our Ships, till Lisots' force in thefe feas be reduced.

William Butt, the brother of the &II hnfband, gave in evidence, that he was prefent at the marriage of his brother with ttre'prifoner, on the Bth of Janu ary, 1798 ; and that his brother was in Court. John Taylor, parifh cletk of St. Martin's, proved the prifoner's fecond marriage, on the 25th of No umber, 184, at that church: The ifrifoner left hlr defence to her Counfel. She was found guilty. Ann Raiford and Catherine Laurence, were indi&ed, the one for Cleating, and the other for receiving and concealing a gteat quantity of haberdafhery goods, the property of Mr. Bell, a haberdather, in Bridge ftreet, Wcftminner. It appeared the prifoner, Halford, had lived fer vant at Mr. Bell's nearly four years, and lately found an opportunity of robbing the fhop of different ar. titles, to the amount of fixty pounds. Mr. Bell miffing many things, had information of a box, con taining the goods, being fent by the prifoner, Hal ford, to the houfe of the prifoner, Laurence, alias Rems, where it was found. The Jury found them Guilty. Harriet and Elizabeth Todd were capitally inditied alto, for privately Itealing a Over watch, the pro- perty of John Morris, on the night of the 7th of Novamber. From the teftimony of John Morris it appeared, that, on the night mentioned, he had taken his lodg ing at an hotel in the elegant fatuboorg of Dyot fireet, St. Gilcs's. On entering the dormitory which was atfigned to him, he perceived the door had neither bolt nor lock ; but conceiving hat, in a man !ion fo hofpitable, the flightell barrier wculd be fuf ficient to enfure fecurity during his numbers, he fallened the door with his garter. He rofe about five in the morning, and found the door 1611 fattened, and his watch fafe. He then refumed his Humber, rofe again at fever!, mitred his time-keeper, found his garter cut through the Gordian knot, and the door open. He immediately roofed the matron of the ho• tel, and made known to her his misfortune, made due (ear th upon the premifes, but the watch could not be found. He communicated the circinnitances and a defcription of his watch, at the Public Office, Hatton Garden. Mr. Page. a pawnbroker from tiquor.pond•Fireet, to whom the watch was offered to be pawned by- the prifoners at a very early hour on the morning of the robbery, furpeOingfrom their appearance that it was not an honeit acquirement, fent for a conflable, and took them to the Public Office in }Litton Garden, where the defcription of the watch left there by Mor ris was found to correfpond with that which had juft been offered to be pawned. - Mrs. Webb, the hoffrefs of the Dit-flreet Rotel, proved that the poifoners had slept i n room adjacent to that of the Profecutor on the night already Itated; aid that tiny watt away abort -half pall fit: in tht 1 naming, raying, they were "going to a place„wherd {,'hey Would get ainie money. •• ' • - . The Jury found a verdia—Guilty of Ileallog to the value of 395. _ . - - .. gefeph Whom/. whO bated himfelf to hivilien a Lieutenant in the Navy, was tried nn a charge of Dealing three filver tea fpoons, and one filver table limn. the property of Mr. Job'? Wiffin, a klidthip man. The eircumfiances of the cafe have been already deferated in the report of the prifoner's public en- Initiation before the Magiftrates of police, before whom he was at firft taken. The cafe on the part of the profecution this day, retied entirely on the evi dence of the young gentleman who had loft the pro. petty. He defcribed the friendthip that he had con ' ceived for the prifoner at their firit interview, on ac count of his fuppofing him to be a brother officer ; the different invitations which he had given the pri foner to dinner and breakraft with him—the prifo ner's having in teturn invited him to go And fpend the dip with him on board his !hip, and then leav ing him in, an abrupt manner, after which time the fpoons were miffed. but which he had' pr smiled to lend him previoully ; and laftly, what patted between both, on their accidentally meeting together in the Drees, were all delcribed in the sutlers, blunt. and candid manner, - peculiar to the naval charafter, which, in more than, one it:Ranee i excited the laugh. ter of the people preterit, particu larly one, part. in which he raid, that he blamed his ovn credulity, af ter the ftranget had made his efcape with the fpoons. The prgonerina(ted on it that he had been a na val officer, and that he was in expectation of another appointment. He raid that he had done fome ads of kindnefs for the proferntor, and denied any know ledge of the fag with which he was now charged. The Jury, without ham' don, pronounced the pri foner—Guilty. Mr. ALLSY moved an area a judgment in the cafe of White and Richardlon, who were convitted on Wednefday Lift of cutting and maiming, under Lord Ellenborough's Ad. He quotted feveral cafes in which it was decided under other laws, that the in didment muD contain an averment of fome fail as the ground upon which the profecution veiled. be fore any mini/lion could legally take place ; the in diament did not aver that the profecutor was in the ea of apprehending either of the prifoners, and though in point of fad it might be fc ; and, on ac count of this deficiency, he fubmitted that the in diftment was not maintainable at law. His fecond objedion was to the cafe of Ricbardfon only. The instillment charged him with the joint commnlion of the crime, though he was not prefent at the time.— The aft of cutting the watchman by the hand of White, was not proved to have been done in further ance of their original and joint intention, but was incidentally confequential. and molt probably origi nated in the mind of that man at the moment. Baron Glanittt and Judge Gaosa, both refined the application on the firlt ground ; cm the fecond a cafe was referved for the opintm of this Judges. • Two prifoners, one lVnr. Croft, the father of the other, a theamaker, aged 43. and the other Mt. SwithGrofi, a lad about 15 years of age, his fon, were indicted capitally, fOr having priAately Men a box, containing leveret ( hires , (locking;, handker fehieft, Sm. value 4os. the property of John Riggs, a flatter (hoemaker, in the neighbourhood of Shore ditch, who was formerly the boy's mailer, and (m -ist other articles, the property of Mr. Riggs, fattiest. and Ann Eaftes, his fervant maid, on the aoth of, November lall, at eight o'clock in the evecing. The greater part of the property was trared to the /hops of different pawnbrokers in the neighbourhood where they had been pledged or offered to be put in pledge by a boy very like the prifoner, within an hour after the things were miffed. At one of the (hops the Profecutor came in at the very moment when the Pawnbroker was holding up a fhirt to the light for the purport of examining it ; the boy ran out, but he could not (wear that be was the perfon. Another perfon purfued and took the boy, who prov ed to be the younger of the two prifoners. Two men and two women laid hold of the perfon, and the boy efcaped for the moment, but was afterwards taken, and his perfon was (worn to be the fame. Almoft all the retraining part of the proptsty was found in a bundle in the elder prifoner 's band; he raid it was bis own property. His defence .alfo Dated, that his fon told him that he found the property in White chapel road—that. he had interrogated the lad very particularly about the manner in which he cater bi them, and the youth perfilling in his f ory, he coat[ &red the property as his own. The landlord of the houfe where the.fatke:lodg ed. and another perfon, gave him an exceitent cha railer. The Jury deliberated about five minute*, and re turned the father—Not Guilty; the fon guilty of Dealing only to the amount of 395. Mr. Baron GRAMMA, however. cautioned the elder prifoner to beware of the confequences of his being brought into that Court again, under any charge, of .a criminal natures Alitabetb Dixon, alias O'Hara, was tried on 'a ca pital indiftment, for privately Dealing from the per son of John Ticket, :561. in Bank of England notes, and tome other property. on the 6th of November 1 al John Ticket was a warehouremant ;n the City, and on his way home to Iflington, upon the night men tioned in the indictment, being an amorous twain about 50, he met the fiepherdefe, now at the bar, on the road, and, after tame ern&r preliminaries, they 'adjourned to an adjoining field. He Ihortly atter wardsfound out, chit the had been soling note:, of his property, to the amount of t 5 6 1. with a guinea, fome Giver, and a few tickets for admiflion to the divertifements of Sadler's Wells. He charged the lady with the theft, which the potitively denied; and he then gave her in cultedy to the watchman. Tee notes,however,could not be brought forth. Mr.Tickel even returned to the field which had been fo recently the fcene of his imprudence, to fearch for his pro perry : but alas I none was to be found. On his re turn to the :vetch houfe, however, probably from fume principle of foli-itude for his annotation and amufement, the Sadler's Wells tickets were fecretly conveyed into his pocket by Come inviable hand. Thomas Franklin, the conftable of the night. when the prifoner was charged in cuftody, proved that his own official refearches about her perfon were fo ex treme minute ape!' ferutinous, that he met have 6fou e property, if it had been any where about bet... he Jury acquitted the ptifonet. .•• I t L : ! !
