Earl Cowper. . it will berecollected that at the last Summer Assizes for this county, three men, named Davis, Harris, and Green, wee convicted as Parties to the•robbery abve mentioned. Since then it haJ been discovered, through the 'active exertions of Mr. T. Nicholson, the under= S' ei that Green and Harris were not actually con cerned in the robbery, and in consequence of some doubt entertained as to the case of • Davis, the awful •sentence of the law as to him was respited until the 3d of January next. The present prisoners were now put upon their trial, charged with being two of the gang of eight persons concerned in the desperate robbery in question. The case excited considerable interest, and during the trial the Court was crowded to excess. Mr. BOLLA ND (with whom was Mr. DOWLING) stated the case for the prosecution. The circumstances under which the robbery vas effected were fully de tail's] on the last trial, and the principal interest in the case, arose from the evidence adduced to implicate the men charged by the present indictment. • Benjamin Jacobs, an accomplice, was called.—He stated that he was a baker by trait, and had resided at Hampton Wick. For some time previous to the rob bery, he had been in the habit of frequenting a public house, known by the sign of the Horseshoe and Wheat Sheaf, in Mellor-street, Bermondsey, where he met Davis (now under sentence of death), and the prisoners Jones and Weaver. On the 9th of June he met the pri - sorters Weaver and Jones, and five other persons, at this house, when it was agreed that they should commit the robbery in question. Two of the men set out early in the afternoon to walk, leaving the rest to follow in two ca ts. About two or three hours after those two were gone, Jones, Weaver, 'And witness set out in his (wit ness's) cart, and took the road by Southgate, and on ar riving at the sixteen mile-stone, they found the other five men waiting for them with another cart. Four then got into each cart, and proceeded on to a bane near Mr. Haines's house; they stopped, and fastening the horses to two trees, they went on to Cole-green. After sur veying the house in every direction, a ladder was pro cured, and placed against a first-floor window. The prisoner Jones went up first, and broke a hole in the window and opened it. He then came down, and told • the rest to take off their shoes. A candle was then lighted in a dark lantern by means of a phosphortmobox.— Jones then ascended, got in at the window, and was followed.by witness, Weaver, and four' others, leaving the eighth man to watch below. He then detailed the circumstances under which the robbery was committed, as described by Mr: -and Mrs. Haines and their son. Being disturbed, as already mentioned, they retreated, and in their return they had a desperate scuffle with three farming men. The prisoner Weaver lost his hat, and a pistol was also left beliVed. They then returned to the carts, four getting into each, and drove off as fast as they could for London, but by a different route from that they had come. In their way they bad to piss a turnpike, which was locked. They aroused. the toll collector who demandorl eightpence toll, for the two carts. The men in the first cart gave him a shilling, and both carts pushed on without waiting for the change. When they reached London they separated, but all met again, with the exception of one of the party, at the Horse Shoe and Wheatsheaf, in Bermondsey, for the purpose of dividing the plunder. They went into a room up stairs, where a man named Dudfield came to them for the purpose of purchasing the bank-notes. The whole amount of the cash and bank-notes was about 1,0061. Dudfield, after a good deal of bargaining, agreed to give 750/. fur the notes. Witness went along with Dudheld to his house, for the money. lie received but mot. then, Dudfield promising to bring the re mainder in about an hour and a half tothe public-house, bud he never came, and itness believed that the re mainder of the money was not paid. Mr. Jessop, who conducted the defence, cross examined this witness at considerable length, to shew the infamy of his character. He had been in two or three gaols, and had once suffered six months' impris sonment for felony. Ile expected to save his ownneck by the evidence lie gave against the prisoners. The Leaned Counsel, however, could not shake the consis tency of his story. This witness said he knew Green and Harris, who were convicted at the last Assizes; but he positively said they were not concerned in the affair. fo confirm some parts of the accomplice's evidence, the following witnesses were called:— Jane Watson, whose husband kept the horse-Shoe and WheaoSheaf (but is since dead), proved that the two prisoners, Jacobs, Davis, and four other men, met at her husband's house in the afternoon of the 9th of June, and drank together. They had all quitted the house about seven in the evening. These men had been in the habit of frequenting the house before. When she got up next morning, about eight o'clock, she found that seven of them were in an upttairs room of the house. She saw a strange man leave the room in which they were, and come down stairs. This man she had never seen before. She had seen him since in Horse monger-lane jail, and believed his name to be Dudfield, as she had been .subseattently informed. The men had afterwards beef-steaks or muttonchops for breakfast. Her husband had had an iron crow-bar in his skittle gr ound ever since they had come to tine house, namely, for . about six months. She had seen the crow•har in the skittle-ground our the Bth, hut missed it on the 10th of June, ansl had never- seen it since. Looking at the .cr •ss sbar which had been picked hp on Mr. Haines's rremi-es on the morning of tLe 10d), she Fray be lieved it to be that which had belonged to herhusband. it was exactly similar in every respect. William B:idd, a toll-gate keeper, proved that about two o'clock on the morning of the 10th of June, he was mow., to open the gate for two carts, which ap peared to conic from the direction of Her tines), dbury. He unlocked the gate, and the man in the first cart asked what was the toll ? He answered Bd. for the two carts. He received a shilling, and both carts imme diately drove on at a rapid rate, in a direction towards London, without waiting for the change. There were but four men in the two carts, that he ob-erved. (The accomplice had said that two or three men had got down when they cattle to the gate, and walked through the .thicket.: AnOther'was at the bottom of one of the Car ts.—Thii.was tine casefor the prosecution. The prisoners being called upon for -their defence, WIN l'Ell HOVE enicum, • HERTFORD, DECEMBER 5. - Jones a•)(1 George Weaver w ere i nd i cted for bun : J:46oll.ly breaking and entering the dwelling !i•,,i,e of J 11.rinei, at Hertingtordbury, in the nizhr t'me of the 9th of June last, and stealing therein ca,h, hink-notes, and money securities to the amount of 1,8681. 13, 11d. the property of the lUht lion. Peter Leopold Louis Francis Nassau Claveling Cowper, 'timely said that they would ' leave their cave in the' hands of their Counsel. No witnesses were called in their behalf. Mr. Baron GARROW then summ •d up the case to the Jury in the most elaborate and able manner. The Jury deliberated a few minutes, and found both prisoners Guilty. Mr. &lion GARROW immediately passed sentence of , death in a most impressive manner, and conjured the prisoners to make the most of the short time left them on this side the grave to meet their CRIATOR. The law most take its course in a case attended with so many circumstances of aggravation. The wretched culprits appeared wholly unmoved in this solemn stage of the proceedings. It is understood that Jones had expressed a wish in gaol to plead guilty.—The Assizes ended at four o'clock. E.YECUTION AT YORK. Tuesday last, Morris Canfield anti Michael While, were executed behind York Castle. They were con victed at the last Yor k -Assizes of a burglary, committed in the Newton toll-bar-house, near Wakefield, in . Janu ary last, attended with the -most cruel aggravations, the burglars having-beat and. otherwise ill-used the poor inmates of the hosse. • • After the prisoners had been convicted, their Coun sel took an objection to the framing of the indictment ld tended that the nroperty stolen, being the re- • • rtnrcE . MTELiroEwct • 1 BOW-STREET. Yesterday, Mr. Edmond Angellini, the foreigner who appeared before the Loan Wean, first to convince his Lordship that he was not one of the sect called Carbonari, and again to offer himself as a sacrifice to the vengeance of the law in the room of Mr. Fauntleruy, entered the Office, and approaching the Magistrates' table,with a very low bow, slid he was a native of Venice,and a teacher of the French, Austrian, and Italian languages, and he Came to this country five months ago, hoping to prolcute employment in his profession, hut fail ing, he wished to return to bls own country, and applied to the Aus trian Ambassador for a yassport,wWch, however, was refused, because he could oat produce the French passport with which he came to this Country. This document be bad unfortunately lost. lie then applied to the French, the 'Sardinian, and, he believed, to almost every foreign Ambassador in this kingdom, bUt none could or would assist him; " and now," continued Angellini, in a very melancholy tone, lamin a strange country, without money, without em pkryment, Without friends ;`and what can I do?" Mr. MlnsuULL.—l think, under the circumstances, the Alien Of fice would be the best place to apply at. . Angellini said he had been there, and he produced a note from Mr. Capper, which he had received in answer to hi, application, stating that the Austrian and French Ambassadors having refused to gfant Mr. Angellini a passport, the Alien - Office could not inter- - fere, it being contrary to that establishment to give passports to any but British subjects. Mr. Minsuuct.—Really, yours seems to be a very hard case. I should imagine there can be no objection to your leaving this coun try. If you go down to Dover, I dare say they will let you cross the water. Angellini—Yes; but I shall be put In prison in grance for tra veiling without a passport. Mr. M/NSHULL said he would send an officer with him to the Alien Office, to renew his entreaty for their interference. The ofhcer and Angellini soon returned with a message - that the Alien Office would willingly furnish him with the means of travel ling. but further they could not interfere. Mr. Dlntanucc said he would, if he pleased, send him to the workhouse of the parish in which he resided. Mr. Angellini asked what a workhouse was? and being told, he said a man of education and a Gentleman could not stoop to go to such a place. He stood a moment, and then striking his breast ve hemently, and raising his eyes, be exclaimed, " What am I to do now !" and left the Office. and contt. pt —.h.'s, tieing ta.— ce ipts of the toll•bar, was not the property of the pro secutor, who was the keeper of the bar, but of the lessee of thetolls ; in consequence of which, Mr. Baron Hullock, who tried the case, respited the culprits until the 30th November; in order that the question might have the consideration of the Judges, who determined that the indictment was correctly drawn. About a fortnight ago an order was received by the Under 'Sheriff, to put the sentence of the law into execution; and the prisoners being informed of the fact, they im mediately, although they fully anticipated a reprieve, began to prepare for their latter end. Both of them were Irishmen, and of the Roman Catholic religion, consequently they were attended by the Rev. Benedict Rayment, of York, who paid the most unremitting at tention to their spiritual welfare. - Camfield was twenty three -years of age, and White only twenty-one. The latter was a remarkably stout man, and previous to his coming to England, last year, had borne an excellent character, having lived as stable-Hoy and groom in a Catholic family, residing near Dublin, from the age of seven years to the time of his quitting his native country. A letter from the Clergyman of the parish in which he resided, dated Bth September, says, "'From all the inquiries I have made, I firmly believe, that up to the period of his departure from Ireland (thirteen . Months since only), he had borne--and universally so— the character of an honest, sober, peaceable, and in dustrious person; but evil communications corrupt good manners.'" He has left a wife and child to deplore his ignominious death. It appears that White . was merely a fictitious name which he assumed, his real name being Farrell. When on the drop, the culprits, with the greatest fervour, repeated every prayer offered up to the Throne of Grace by the Priest, and White intimated a desire' to turn to the populace to wish them farewell, but was advised not to trouble himself any more about this world, which he was about to quit for ever; conse quently he remained silent. After the capi had been drawn over their faces, and the ropes placed round their necks, each of them exclaimed, 41 LOAD Jesus, into thy hands I commit my spirit!" and' immediately the drop fell. White did not seem to feel many of the pangs of death, but Camfield was greatly convulsed. After being suspended one hour they were cut down, and interred behind the Castle. COUNTY COURT, KINGSGATE-STREET, HOLBORN. Thursday, two porters, of Long's Hotel, summoned a Gentleman who had lodged there, and had paid the Proprietor's bill, fora demand they had - upon him for brushing his clothes, cleaning his boots, and performing several errands. It appeared that the defendant is a man of considerable wealth, and too unwell to attend, but declared he knew nothing of the circumstances, ex cept admitting that he had staid at Long's seven weeks. The porters said they took turn month 'about at the Hotel, that none of the servants received any wages, and the rule of the porters was to charge one shilling a-day for brushing each Gentleman's clothes and shoes, and a shilling or so for each errand—thus, one demanded twenty-eight shillings for so many days, and nine shil lings for messages ,;' and the demand of the other was somewhat similar, but less in amount. The worthy CIFIAIRbIAN said, that the plaintiffs de• mands must be admitted for the errands, but that for boots was somewhat serious in its character. At Long's they might make long charges, and the sum given to boots was generally a matter of option. Sometimes sixpence was given, or a few shillings for a long star 'which often depended upon the servants civility ; if Im pertinent, they would be rightly served were they not alloweJ any. As the defendant could not attend, al though he felt a difficulty in allowing it, he would leave, the reasonableness of the demand to the Jury, who gave their verdict for about half the amount. Letters from Berlin state, that the Government intend introducing a new rate of postage throughout Prussia on the commencement of the new year. Thins, 57zir HENRY VIII.—The Town Clerk of the' Corporation of London, by the directiOn of the City Tithe Committee, has issued circulars for a conference at Guildhall, on Friday, the 10th of December instant, at one o'clock precisely, addressed to twenty-two pa rishes, includid in the operation of the above statute. Thursday afternoon one of the Windsor coaches was overturned in Piccadilly; by which accident a person of the name of HOPE had the spine of his back much in jured, and was otherwise severely bruised. Sunday last, as the Bath and Bristol Blue coach was proceeding from Oxford to London, amongst the pas= sengers was an Irishwoman with her child, and who had placed herself at the back of the conch. The poor woman fell asleep, and dropped the infant. On her waking, she discovered her loss, and most piteously en treated the passengers to help her to seek her infant. Her entreaties were not hi vain; they took the lamps from the coach, and retraced their road nearly four miles, when, having given up all hopes, one of the Gen tlemen discoveredat in the middle of the road; and on taking it up, it did not appear to have the slightest hurt. On the Gentleman's return to the coach, a Lady, an inside passenger, requested that she might be allowed t o give her feeble aid to the infant by taking care of it t ill they arrived in London. Booth (the coachman's) c onduct was very praiseworthy. DIARY-LA-BONNE. Joseph Humphreys and John Buckmaster, drivers of Paddington coaches, attended at this office yesterday, in answer to informations lodged against them for furious driving on the 25th November. Richard Jenkins, toll-man, saw the coaches coming up at about 40 yards from the gate; they were driving at the regular pace.— Humphreys entered the gate first. Buckmaster whipped his horses when close to the bar, and drove against the other coach, when the wheels became locked, and the driver and two paisengers were thrown from their seats. One of the passengers was much hurt, and bled profusely. No accident would have happened but for Buckmaster's furious driving. After the accident he drove off without making any inquiry about the safety of the passengera. The coaches were going at the rate of six miles an hour. Other witnesses deposed to the same effect. A surgeon was in attendance I. give evidence to the injury a Mr. BPAIIIIan received. Mr. Hammes did not think this necessary. The otily,question before him was, whether the parties were chargeable with furious driving? This he thought sufficiently proved, and with a view to check such dangerous practices, he would impose the highest pe nalty, lot. The Solicitors for both coachmen intimated that they would ap peal to the Quarter Sessions. QUEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday, G. Scase and KJ. Pearce underwent an examinations for a burglary in the house of Mr. Fair ' at Shepherd's Bttsit. On the officers searching the two prisoners' lodgings, they fOund a va riety of housebreaking implements, also some wearing apparel, which on being produced the prosecutor identified as his property. Wiggins, a sub-conductor of the patrol, on the Fulham and King's Road, said, that about three weeks since the house of Mr. Wilber. force, at Brotnpton, was broken into and robbed ; the silk stockings traced by the officers, with marks partly obliterated, he considered were some of the articles stolen ; but that Gentleman was not in town. The prisoners were consequently remanded. " . UNION-HALL. . • A man of reipeetalde appearance, named Blacker, residing -at Camberwell, was summoned, upon an information, charging -him With having smuggled !silks in his possession, for which offence a penalty of one Mildred pounds was attached. • Oliver, a Custom-House officer, stated, that from information received, he went to the defendant's house, in 'Camberwell Grove, accompanied by-two other officers. They entered the defendant's parlour, and observed the remnant of silk produced, consisting of sixty-three yards and three-quarters, lying on the table, besides, a piece of Bandana handkerchiefs, aU of which was pronounced .to be of foreign manufacture. Two other officers corroborated the above evidence. The defendant, on being called on for his defence, declared that he was not aware that the silks finind in his house were smuggled goods, - for they bad been left there.by a friend for the inspection of his (defendant's) wife, who had intended to purchase six or seven yards; and as a further proof that he (defendant) did not consider they Were prohibited articles, the officers who made the seiture could affirm that they were not concealed on the premises, but ilnit the whole of the silk was lying in an open situation. Under these circumstances, he hoped the Magistrate would visit bim with a slight punishment. The officers admitted that the remnant of French silk was lyitig on the table, but the Bast India Bandanas were discovered In a chest of drawers. _ _ The Magistrates having consulted together, observed, that in consideration of defendant's circumstances, they would mitigate the penalty, which was 1001. to 401. which latter sum was to be forth. with paid, and in default of which, & months' imprisonment In the County Jail. The defendant declared that he was unable to pay the penalty. A distress wart ant was ordered to be issued on his goods and chattels HATTON-OA RDEN. An exceedinglyintetesting young woman, named Jaw MoStia Boyce or Bops, was brought up in custody of the Mendicity SO. ciety's officers, charged with bang found wandering about the street ind squares at the west et t id of the town, in a state of the greatest destitution, with the totention of exciting compassion and obtaining pecuniary assistance. When brought to the Society's Office, Red Lion-square, alsetave the following account of herself. a H father iris a wealt hy .farmer, residing at. OwesburY, in the county of Hints ; she had an aunt in London, who kept the Blatt 'Bull Inn, Aldgate (a Mrs. Nelson), who sent for her to assist in the house as bar-maid ; but in consequence of repeated ill-usage she had left it, and since bad subsisted on some money she had . brought from home. She said she had another aunt, a Mrs. Jane Palmer, Who kept the Blue Boar Inn, Aldgate, and an uncle, a Mr. Jansee Boyes, who was landlord of the Spread Eagle, Gracechurch.street, and that the two last persons are guardians to the property she would be entitled to on her coming of age, which amounts to £11„700, which torn was vested in Bank of England securities in her name, and was left her by Mr. Charles Woolridge, of Oxford University. She also stated that she was one of four daughteri born at a birth ; one of whom is now maintained by his Majesty. at his sole expense. Her father, she said, had received £O,OOO in the late Lottery ; but, notwithstanding this wealth, it seemed she was compelled to come to London in search of a bar-maid's place. The present 'curve of her distress; she said, arose from her having been robbed - a fevt nights back of five sovereigns, and several aril cies of vreaging apparel, which were taken from her by three men on the roadlretween Islington and London. She had not tasted food for three entire days. For the truth of this statement, she re ferred the fiociery's officers to Mr. James Brownjohn, of the White Hart Tavern, Hammersmith. The MAGISTRATE, under aU the circumstances of the case, said that he felt himself authorised in committing the prisoner to the House of Correction, until the Mendicity Society, which had al rehdy so humanely exerted itself in her behalf, should have advised with the young woman's friends as to her ultimate disposal FONTHILL Atrim—This magnificent structure felt severely thg effects of the tempest : glass to the amount of several hundred pounds was destroyed, and upwards of three hundred feet of the battlement th!own . down. Thursday, as Charles Daley was going up a ladder, at some buildings, on the Surrey-end of Vauxhall-bridge, with a coping-stone on his shoulder, one of the rounds broke, when he fell to the ground, ruptured a blood vessel, and expired in about two hours.
