. ilitas yeah about lOW On the Sanday,"Litegtion.l Crook, Watkins, and Weston, were in the back room 14)1 sank., drinking wine. Since the preceding night the; taw library had been taken away. Weston quitted the others and bent into a fro;t room, where he packed up his papers, which, *together with other articles, were sent awayln the evening ; ten or twelve hackney coaches were emplbyed far the purpose; all the persons in the house must have heard the noise made by the temoval of the - goods. ' Miss Reynolds, whe assisted Miss Weston in pecking the wine, corride;rated that witness's testimony. '• Charles Wade lave evidence to the same effect. The books were taken to Millar'i; they were taken down in Crook's presence, and be said, when he went away, he would send a cart in the morning. Mrs, Holt proved the employment of her husband's, cart, in January,lB26, to carry away goods from Wei ton's ; and was confirmed by the carman who had been, sent on that occasion ; the goods were taken to Watkins's., Mr. TOwne, the attorney in the action* in the Cora ls.* Pleas, proved the receipt of the money he had, claimed on behalf of Machin and Debenham, and of another person. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL here admitted that he could not prove a _knowledge of the circumstances on' the part of Millar, so as to affect bkn ; and this defend ant was accordingly acquitted. This closed the case for the prosecution. The COMUON SERGEANT addressed the Jury on the pats 9f Crook, and observed that he bad never witnessed so extraordinary a cause. Crook was accused of being a conspitator ; he would ask • with whom? Why, with that very Weston who was now in Court, and who, it seeped, bad given information to the.prosecutor, and against erhetn, therefore, the prosecution had not been pressed., ..Wptkins was dead, the Langdens and Miller bad been acquitted, and yet none of the pirsons whom these acquittals enabled the prosecutter to call into the laoss had been put there, although theirevidence would have been most material; and would have shewn that Mr. Cniek was as guiltless as any of them, and indeed, tees gnat, than any, since none of the removed property had been traced to him. These acquittals, however, had been delayed till the last moment, no doubt with the view of preventing the advisers el Mr, Crook from being able to know how to avail themselves of those persons' evidence. From the situation of Weston, and trim the credit he obtained from different trades men, there could be no doubt that he was a, per son Of c.orttiderable address and plaeeibility,and yet. he who most probably had . deceived Crook into ,his, conduct was now permitted to escape, neither. being called on to answer as a defendant, nor to give an account of himself in the box; while Mr. Crook, who hard probably beets made the dupe of Weston, was left to struggle alone against this indictment. He (Mr. Common Sergeant) -protested against what had been said in the Common Pleas being now used to head the, consciences of the Jury bete. From the 4 f 6t to the last,' the only crime of which Mr. Crook apeeatect to have been guilty wee that of having repulsed toe musts confidence in Weston; and there was no.proa that he had gone to Weston's house, but Inc the air purpose of ebtaitsiug that snowy for which he - had trusteed Western That person was a conveyancer, and in his addeps,a most plausible man ; and surely it was no , great difficulty for such a man to pews.* a siarp;ei broker that he ought to convey away his papers, the more especially so as every man must know that a conveyancer often had in his possession papers belong. big to other persons, and which, in honesty, he was bound to prevent from being taken into the custody of the law, from which their real owners might Offer considerably. The Jqry here had a different duty_ the, were not called on to say which of tbe,e persons they asould rather protect, but whether they thought the defendant Crook was so guilty as to deserve their condemnation. Had the Jury received all the in formation that might have been afforded them; or had not the circumstances been partially represented before them, with the view of producing a particular effect? If such evidence was to be held sufficient in these cases, there were few men who might not be made liable to such an indictment as the present; for gem one aught, at one time or other, have used ex pressions which, if afterwards repeated without the accompanying circumstances, might produce an effect extremely different from that which was created by , them when they were uttered. The Jury would do well to hesitate long before they gave credit to the story told by Sweet, who was much interested in the result of this indictment, for besides his gain 'elation to the circumstances which affected others, it was notorious that whenever, in a case lithe this. a high fine was imis posed, the Crown made a present of a considerable portion of it to the person by whom the indictment had been refet r ed. The Learned Consmon Sergeant could not but seater most deeply the evidence which had been pieea by Saeet to-day, upon the subject of the wish of the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, that an indict ment should be preferred against these parties. The Jury. would recollect, that when Sweet was about to stale that wish so expressed by the Chief Justice in the Common Pleas, the high authority that presided here today had attempted to stop the statement. It was irnpossilsle not to wish that the same caution had been eaetcited by the Learned Judge in the other Court, since there could be no doubt that such an expression, from tt•e mouth of such a person, could, be attended withal°. other effect but that of prejudicing thapaety against whom it was directed. Mr. Ctook had always bone air excellent character and there was notbiag he had done in this 'case which ought to make him forfeit it. .The indictment charged him with having acted: fraudulently, in order to cheat and defraud Sheriffs Crow der and Kelly. Now, one or both of those persons,. if bath were present, should be put into the hex, and from them the Jury would hear that the defendant Crook bad always ism ne so good a character that they did not believe him capable of that which was now laidxo his charge. Were the Jury prepared, (*she bare. evidence they had now beard, to condemn Crook, when or that same evidence the prosecutor's Counsel had expressly. declared three of the defendants entitled to an acquittal, and when there could be no cosh. that Crook bed done no more than any of the sobers? lVRre they prepared to degrade him Irons the station he had, always held, and to declare that the nisei-whole, more than 40 ysart had borne an excellent character, and had so deserved the confidence of hi, - fellow citizens, that they had elected him the Deputy for the Wreaths which lie resided, bad all at once, and that too not only not for his wen advantage, but posi tively against his own interest, wilfully become a party to *,fraud?' He trussed they would not, but would agr es. with him, that although Crook might be accu4J of a want of crustion, there was not in his conduct the slightest evidence of guilt. Aleerreen.Crowther, who bad keen Sheriff of Lpedonik 1825, had known the defendant Crook for neoily.twenty years, and believed him to have always dclespeel. and bone a very good character. Aldesmen Weithman gerre,evidence of a similar kind. He bad fire known the defendant as an appren- H.Wilson (the pareser Herring, an lioneen t Crook henl tic*, and i forty years; be rutin - The Rev. Mr: Beckwith (a Mr. Blacken, Mr. Neighbour (L Clerk dart' in Loudon), Mr. Price, and Mr. Burchell (0, acting Under-Sheriff), also spoke to his character in the moot favourable terms. Lord Tastvasenats having recalled ihe attention of the Jury to the nature of the indictment, recapitulatedt The evidence, and observed, that Croak clearly hid an interest in this attempt to defeat an execution against -Weston's goods: The evidence went to show, that Crook had tsken a bill of sale, which had remiined in' his possession unenforced for a long period rf time. Now, such a circumstance was sufficient in law to de feat it ; for a man who held a bill of sale was blunt to act upon it instantly, or at least promptly, and such a delay would prevent the holder of the tfil of sale from maint,ining. it against a bona fide execution ; Crook was therefore interested, at least to the extent of his bill of sale, and that interest was such as might induce hint to attempt to defeat the execution issued in the regul.r manner. If the Jury thought the evidence fully esta Wished, that the defendant (Crook) had combined wi:h the other parties to remove the goods of Weston so as to defeat the execution, they would find him gulty, notwithstanding the excellent character ofri.li he had riessived from so many r.spectable persons. Rm. ever they might lament that a man of good charac ter should have actedle such a manner, they must con vict him, if they were satisfied that on this particular occasion he had forgotten his former good conduct, and had become a party to a conspiracy for the purpose of effecting a fraud. His Lordship concluded by expressing his desire that the July should dismiss from their mints the recollection of any thing that had passed elsewhere, and should deliver their verdict solely upon the evi dence they had heard to-day. The Jury retired to consider their verdict, and were absent about 15 minutes. On their return, the Foreman stated that they acquitted the defendant Millar; but found the defendant Crook Guilty. At the same time they recommended him to the favourable consideration of the Judges, on account of the high character he bore. ARCHES COUttT, Novzmar& This being the first Sessions in Michaelmas Term of the Erclesiastical and Maritime Courts, Sir John NicholL Dean of the Arches Court of Canterbury, and Official Principal, attended by the Advocates and Proctors, after prayers in the adjoining apartment, went in pro. cession into Court. No public businets of any importance took place on this occasion. An application was made, in the' matter Of Lord Portsmouth, for the extension of the term pro batory, which was not acceded to by the Court. A, Maly Carol a poor Irishwoman, charged one of her rau liirenome; named-diary Howe, with robbing her of three sovereigns. H , The poor cteaturr, from iter town statement, had denied herself VIIIIINias necessaries lreorder to amass this little weakb, and to keep lit* ode, sewed it up in her domel petticoat, m as always to carry it about ber, and lodged, together with the prisoner, in a cellar, at Po. 42, York.coort. " I sewed my money up in my petticoat," lied site; " and always at night I felt for the tights of it. I did so last night; it was about half-past eight; and when I searched I couldn't find a fraction of it. There were three sovereigns ; they were all earn% by the bard sweat of my brow, Goo help me!" In answer to the Magistrate's question, she said, she was sure her three sovereigns were all safe before eight o'cl..ick• She never felt for them of a morning, bat always •made sure of feeling for them at night, and had done so this twelvemonth. She (Hone) knew where she kept her money, and told a person she could bdog to witness, that it" was a pity her money was not taken away." At this part of thereenal, slot groaned, and held up the cannel petticoat, with a corner of It cut oet,evidently by a pait of scioars.—Prisoner denied the charge. Wan,.the office r, who.apprehantled her, said, he searched her, and only found I.A. and a few coppirs an her, and which she accounted for by saying dergot Ahern in selling fruit. The Magistrate =pressed a good deal of regret for the poor creature . / loss and ordered the prisoner to be locked up, to ore if any further discoveries can be made. OXFORD,- Nov. '3.

It was also stated by a winless, that she believed b ot h Haines and Spittle were together near the mail -cut short time before it was robbed. The evidence to its. plicate Hanle is not so strong as against the other two prisoners. When he was taken into custody, he rav e information where part of the stolen property nook b e found—in a hovel in the neighbourhood of the Pee. hobse at Brackley : and on the constables proceetfing thither, they discovered a great number ot letters broken *en, and the contents taken out.

Both the was and one of the thighs were shoekingly lacerated, and it was also much torn over one of the eyes. The bear was instantly destroyed. Wednesday evening, between sir and seven o'clock, nearly a . fourth part of the bridge of Wesford—abridgt of unfortunate celebrity—broke down.

Barber and Jepp, pawn broliers, High -street, Suuthwark, was brought up for final exami nation. The Kintner was. apprehended on suspicion :of having Jobbed a journeyman draper of SW. but he declined prosecuting.— , The constable, however, who took her into custody, knowing that she was light fingered, and finding that she had recently pyre . ased some wearing apparel, •as well as ear-rings and other articles, made inquiry to ascertain of whom the property had been bought, anticipating that probably the money thus spent might be traced as belonging to the young man. In her pockets were found sewsral new rings, and she likewise wore a pair of large earrings, also new. These, she said, had been p u rchased of Messrs. larber and Jepp. The constable also fitiunA. in her pos. eession a garnet ring, which she told him was given her by a young sailor In the mouth of March last: all the articles of jewellery the constable took to the proseturors, when one of the firm, Mr. Jepp, recognized the garnet sing, saying, that he did not sell it when the other articles were . purchased by the prisoner. A jeweller who made the king in question, with five others, stated " that it had only been delivered to the prosecutors about a fortnight ago," so that the prisoner's tale of receiving it from a Tailor fell to the ground. She now declared that she had never asserted such a fact ;.hut the constable assured the Magistrate, Mr. Hone _that. what ite had already said was what she told bant. The prisoner was fully committed. ST.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. • GUILDHALL. Ariststrests, a watchmaker, of Liverpool, applied at Guild hall on Friday, for a warrant against a watch and clock ma►er, in order that he might account to tbe Magistrate for having posseedon of three watches. supposed to have been stolen. Mr. Armstrong stateikthat on the 10th of March last the warehouse of hiumegand partner, at Liverpool, was broken into by thieves, who carried off watches, chronometers, and Materials for watches, of the value of 470 L When 'key Solomon. was apprehended, one of these stolen watches was found upon his premises, and one of the charge' upon which he was afterwards committed was for stealing this watch. He (Mr. Armstrong) having received private information that the watchmaker had purchased the whole of the watches stolen front him, went to the shop on Wednesday last, and found thtee watchea,l which he had every reason to believe were his own. They dM not finally obtain the search warrant until four tido& in the after won of Thursday, although deponent had set out upon the byli nes, at eleven in the morning. He then went to the shop and im <mired fur the watches, but was told that they were sold. Hawkins and Foster, the Mushalmen, then came in with the warrant, Mt; the watchmaker was not at home. When they said they were au thorised to search the house, the female, who answered them with out the least alarm, said they might search if they pleased' When asked to whom and forhow much the watches had been sold, the female replied, that was their own business. Not a vestige of do peosnesproperty could be found. - - - Mr. Alwaireong pressed for a warrant foe the watchmaker's ap prehension; and it was suggested that the shopman ought to be detained upon the evidence already given. Mr. Harmer's Clerk insisted that there was no pretence foi' charging the abopman with purchasing the watches. The master, who did make the purchases, surely, could be alone responsible ; and be begged to ask Mr. Annswoug to explain why he did not claim the watches at the moment he recognised them to be his own ProPeny ? Mr. Armstrong said, be acted under the advice of a police officer. Sir Jams Panama consuked the City Solicitor, and then declined granting the warrants, seeming to bold, that Mr. Harmer was pledged to produce the watchmaker on the day named; but the sitopman was told he would be required to enter into bins own re cognizance for his appearance spits. BOW-STREET. Mr. Robertson, ths, treasurer of Covent•Gardes Theatre, ap peared at this Mee, on Saturday, to explain away a misunderstand ing which had arisen, with regard to the complaint made by a Gen tleman on Friday, who had stated that the money taker, at the Pit entrance, had refused to return him Ms admission money, when, owing to the crowded state of that part of the hawse, he could not obtain a sight of the stage. Mr. Robertson said, that it was inva riably the practice, when a party could not be accommodated in the Theatre on his presenting a pass indorsed by the money taker ' at the box 'Mee, on the following morning, to give him an order for another night, or to return him his money, if such were his wish. Mr. Robertson added,. that, as an imperfect statement of the Wait had gone forth, he trusted that publicity would be given explanation, in Order to Counteract the effects of any prejutithat might otherwise operate against the interests of the Theatre. • H ATTON-GA R DEN.: Sahndsy TWinPerra and Thomas Medd were charged with various robberies of ironmongers, brassfounders, &c.; and Robert sod Miry Weitisseeft keepers of a marine store shop, wets also charged wick receiving Kant of the property, knowing the same to be stolen.— For several weeks past the two first named prisoners had been ob served to regularly visit Wellington's shop between seven and eight °Week in the morning; and Intorniation being given to Vincint, an officer, be yesterday morning, In conjunction with Waddington, took them ha:custody whilst offering various brass locks, mountings, Etc. for sale.

Mr. Jackson entreated the Magistrate to remit the fine, baying been confined to his country house at Brampton by illness at the time the offence was committed. Mr. Dyes said, the Magistrate bad no discretionary power on the subject ; and it was well known that the exposure of goods oat side the shop afforded great encouragement to thieves, and the Judges at the Sessions had lately come to the resolution of not 'granting the expenses of any shopkeeper who might be robbed of hie property in the manner above seated.
