clothes over the heals of Mr. nal Shaw and stood by the bed-side. Shaw deposed that that man was the prisoner Robert Clough ; he was quite sure of it, for Clough came and stared at him just -before he was co ve,esl up, so that he could not help knowing him, though he never saw him before, and did not see him again until seven or eight weeks afterwards. The men rummaged, the house and the drawers. When they were just going, Mrs. Shaw looked and saw three men whom she swore p.rsitively to. They were James Hurst, lienthorn, and Wittomley. When they were gone, Mr. and Mrs. Shaw missed out of the drawir the money specifi:d in the indictment. The men had no weapons„ and used no violence. Benjamin Newton, a butcher, was at Kirkby Moor, the Manchester race course, on the Ist of May, where there was a footrace. He there saw Henthorn, who told him if he would give him a sovereign, he (Hen thorn) would bet 151. that Sugden won the race. Wit ness agreed, and they deposited the money with John Booth, a butcher. Henthorn deposited a SOL note, and witness a 101. note and five sovereigns. Witness gave Henthorn the sovereign. Witness won the wager. The SOL note was given to him. and the 101. note and five sovereigns were given to Henthorn. Witness paid the 901. note to a Mr. Kirkham. Booth confirmed this statement. Kirkham gave the note to his mother, who paid it to James Mellor, and he to Robert Lees, who paid it to Samuel Taylor, by whom it was produced, and Shaw identified it as the note takea out of his house. Chadwick, the constable, apprehended Henthora on the sth of May, and in consequence of what he said, apprehended Richard Hurst on the 9th of May, and asked him for the 151. which had come out of the 301. note that had been betted at Kirkby Moor. Hurst said he had had no 301. note, and consequently no 161. Wit. ness left him in custody, and searched his house, and found a 201. Bank post bill, and a 101. Bank of England note concealed. Mrs. Hurst picked it up. It was hid' under the flags, and witness would not have found it, had it not been for her, This was half an hour before Richard Hurst spoke to Mrs. Bentley. James Hurst lived with his father and mother. The 201. Bank post bill was produced, and identified by Mrs. Shaw as the one taken from her . 44 . an411 house, and Newton identified the 101. note. Mrs. Bentley said, that in consequence of a message from Richard Hurst she went to the lock-ap house on the 9th of May, and Richard Hurst asked her to speak for him to the magistrates about some money. He told her he had overtaken his son upon the road, and asked him if there was any money, and his son told him there was a 201. note and a SOS. note, and that at a bet at Kirkby Moor he had lost 151. and spent a. so that there was only a 101. left. He had buried the money undo the stones; it belonged to John Shaw, and he wished the old man to have his money back. John M'Guire, a watchman, said he was watch ing a factory between two and three o'clock of the Sunday morning, when he saw James and Richard Hurst and three more men come by; those three were not the other prisoners, but witness thought they were John Kemp (a man who has been convicted of a highway robbery), John Station, and William 'Hurst. There were other men, but they did not come as far as to witness. One of them said, "I am abort by half 's:crown." This was about one mile and three quarters from Shaw's house _ The examinations and confessions of Henthorn Rad BOttomley were read. Clough proteited his innocence, and called two wit nesses, who gave him a good character. All the other prisoners, including Henthorn and Bottomley, denied the charge; and Richard Hurst said he was in bed on the night in question at his own house, with his wife and nine children. The Jury, after some deliberation, acquitted Clough, and found the other four prisoners Guilty. Clough was discharged, and the other prisoners were removed. Mr. ARMSTRONG applied to the Court that the 301. note might be given up to Mr. Shaw;' but Mr. Justice BATI . .IT said it appeared to have passed in regular pay. Meat to Mr. Samuel Taylor, by whom it was produced, and to whom it mast be returned; he bad no controul over it. The 201. bank post bill and the 101. note were, however, given up to Mr. Shaw. GLOUCESTER, Sm. 4. Caowri Sas—Before Mr. Baron Vavezas. Jefts Ambury, aged 20, was indicted for having as. amulted-Henrietta Pewtner on the evening of the 28th of August last. Mr. Jurrtca conducted the prosecution, and stated, that he was sorry again to have to call the attention of the Jury to a case similar to the one they were dis gusted with yesterday, and, if possible, more atrocious. The assault was dude on a young girl, scarcely fifteen years of age, and it seemed that not even the presence of to child who was with her afforded any security. But by the spirit of that child, a spirit which would do credit to many men, the prosecutrix had been rescued from the brutality of the prisoner. The Learned Coun sel then stated the facts as subsequently detailed in evi dence; and concluded by observing, that it had been suggested that the prisoner was deficient in intellect; but when the details of the ease were before the Jury, l it would be for them to decide whether his brutal con duct did not evince sufficient knowledge of right and wrong to warrant them in coming to a decision on his innocence or guilt ? Henrietta Pewtoer (an interesting and intelligent girl, who gave her evidence with great modesty and clear ness) stated that the was 15 years of age in November next. She was apprenticed to Mrs. Horologe, of Col ford, but resided with her brother at J ty Croft; she was in the constant habit of going from her brother's house to her mistress's every morning, and returning at night; Amelia Simmonds always went with her, and sometimes her brother came to meet her on her return; she remembered leaving Colford, with Amelia Sim moods, on the evening of the 28'h of August last ; they met the prisoner and John Hen Nell, who said " Good evening" to them es they passed ; the witness made no answer to them; after they had gone a little further, the prisoner ran after them, and tcok hold of the witness and said," Give us a kiss ;" she refused, and struggled a good deal before she got from him ; he then left tl:An and went back ; after they had gut about half a mile farther beyond Berry-hill, in the forest of Dean, the pqsOner again came op to her,and tookbutd of her round the shoulders, and *id " Give es a kiss s",he tried to get airily now him, and he threw her violently on OIL ground.— e witness then seffieieot to skew tits object of the prjaeop.l-110 laid hold'Of her throat; Amelia Simi:loads was by all the time; she pulled the and but him about the head ; she ;an ifter a rise adios was passim, aed the pilaw!. ran off, when he found the man welcoming ; she had called ont murder several times as loudly as she could. The prisoner being asked if he wished to put any question to the witness? replied a No ;" he had seen her before, and had given her three codlings that evening ; the witness denied this. Amelia Simmonds said—l am 13 years of age, and remember meeting the prisoner on the evening of the 28th of Augirstlast. She then proceeded to detail the, facts proved by the last witness, and added, " When the prisoner was on the ground, I plucked his hair, and , beat him, and kicked him, and I took his shoes off, and beat him about the head with them ; I then saw an old man going along the forest, and 1 ran to him and caught him by the sleeve, and told him to please to come, as a man had got Henrietta down; he came part of the way as fast as he could, but the moment tie pri soner saw him he ran away ; when Henrietta got up, she was so weak she could hardly stand or speak." Joseph Yotk stated that he was going through the forest on the evening in question, when the last witness called him to assist Mris Pewtner; he went towards the spot, and saw the prisoner run away. Mist Pewtner was very weak when she got to her. Mrs.Pewtner,mother to Henrietta, proved her (laugh ter making immediate complaint to her, and described the torn and tumbled state of her dress. The prisoner, on being called on for his defence, said, he had nothing to say, and no one to speak for him but his Lordship. Mr. Baron VAUGAAIL-I can say nothing for you, His Lordship then proceeded to sum up the evidence, apd the Jury immediately found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Baron Vauon.tm.—Prisoner, you have been con victed, on the most satisfactory testimony, of a most brutal assault; as to your pretence that you have not intellect enough to discern right from wrong, it would be an insult to the Court and Jury to dwell upon it for a moment, because I have with care and caution watch ed your conduct during the trial, in which there has been too much artifice, method, and management, to leave any doubt upon any reasonable mind respecting your knowledge of right trom wrong. It is quite hor rifying, in a civilized country like this, that two young women—nay two girls—cannot be permitted to walk along a public path without being subject to such bru tality. Ido not think I ever witnessed, in any Court, more proper demeanour—more true modesty—than 1 did this day in the conduct of those little girls.— •They have been placed in a most trying situation to such modest minds, as to be compelled, after the bruta lity they had suffered, to appear, I may say, in a pub lic theatre, to detail the particulars of the insults they have received. It was most fortunate for you that the little girl was present, for her spirit and good conduct have been the means of saving your life, by preventing you from perpetrating your horrid intentions. Of your moral guilt I can have do doubt, and can think little less of it than if you had accomplished your purpose, because you have been checked and prevented in so doing only by the extraordinary exertions of that child. You select the secret recesses of the forest, and the dark hour of evening, for , the accomplishment of -your pur pose, and chance alone defeats you. It is therefore my duty to take care, that as far as the nature of the indict ment will permit, your punishmentmay operate as an example. The sentence of the Court therefore is, that you be imprisoned in the Gaol of this County for one year. Prisoner—Thank you, my Lord. Mr. JUSTICE having applied to his Lordship for some Allowance to Amelia Sinmonds, as a token of the ap probation of the Court for her conduct, his Lordship de clined making any order on the county for that purpose, , but with that kindness and liberality for which he is so much distinguished, sent for Henrietta Pewtner and Amelia Sismondi to the Bench, and having apparently addressed some kind admonitions to them, and com mended them for their good conduct, generously dis missed them with some reward frbm his own pocket. AMUSEMENTS AT SHEFFIELD IN 1754. PROM ?Hi lIIIMIRLD IRIS. We have been favoured by a Gentleman of this place with a band-bill, which has been preserved since 1754 173 years), containing the following curious advertise ment, by which it appeals that the inhabitants of Shef field were accustomed, at that period, to be amused by a series of performance, which, if half of what the bill announces be true, were not inferior to any exhibitions of the present day, with all the boasted improvements of this wonderful age: a This present Evening will be exhibited, at the Theatre in the Angel-yard, the following Performances, several of which has given the highest Satisfaction to the greatest Personages of the Kingdom, and was performed the last Season at Scarborough to the Nobility then there, with the greatest Applause and Satisfaction, at a Crown each Person. To give the Reader a just idea of the Performances by a inert description, would be too difficult a Task to undertale; however a faint conception may be form'd by mentioning these few following particulars. First is the famous African Prince Abobeco, who will exhibit a great number of curious Equilibres on p slack Wire scarcely perceptible: lie raises theWire.toa Swillt, then rises on his Feet, walking forwards and backwards, also rums himself and swings to Admiration, standing on one Foot; he ba lances a Pipe on a Hoop, and walks on a Wire at the same time in full swing, so that he appeared horizontal. He balances a coach- I wheel; a triumphal ladder with a number of full glasses of liquor and wax-lights. He beats a drum. He balances several treble and oblique equilibres, which he carries without the counterpoise, never done by any one but himself. He stands on his head on the slack wire is full swing. He places a straw on his foot, and tosses it from thence to almost every part of his body, keeping it in a continual balance the whole time. Ifs will go through his arms forwards and backwards, as often as the spectators shall think pr op er; for this perform ance, be was exhibited all the winter before Last, at the cornet of Spring Garden, near Abating Cross, at half.a.crown a piece, and Is thought by the most skilful in anatomy, to be one of the most ex traordinary actions that ever were known since the memory of man. " Secondly, is Master Jemmy Midnight, who is not more than eight years of age, youngest son to old Mrs. Mary Midnight, from the - Opera-house, in the Haymarket, London ? This youth sur prisingly imitates the birds and beasts, without the help of any in strument, to very great perfection, as the thrush, robimreacibreast, sky-lark. Ike. Likewise, mimicks the Scaramouch between two dogs and cats, as if the creatures were in the room. " Also, Mr. Pinchbeck's learned Dog, which he purchased of a foreigner for one hundred pounds, and was .hewn in London, in the year 3751, at half-ascrown each person. This surprising creature reads, writes, and casts accounts, by the means of ty phgraphical cards, in the same manner that a minter composes.-- He dues not only understand the Greek, but the Hebrew al phabet ; is not only acquainted with the English, but foreign coins also; distinguishes colours, metals, &c. tells what o'clock it is by any person's watch in company tells how many people there are in the room, if not above thirty; spells persons' names, if not too difficult; plays at put ; does several bodily performances; these and several other dexterous and entertaining oddities (which are almost endless to enumerate) he is capable of performing. and that in so elegant a manner, as abundantly heightens the spectators satisfaction ; with a great many other exhibitions, which are not to be described by words, nor credited without seeing. "To which will be added, an odd uut of a Pantomimic FAIN , tainment, after the manner of the Ancients. "Yu Is. 6d. First Gallery Is. Upper Gallery 6d.—To begin 'Lastly at Mx o'clock."

Yesterday Gawp Haim was re-examined, charged with titter ing a forged check for Mi. to Mr. Baldwin, a tailor, is Cheapaide, to whom he represented he was fitting out to repair to Greece. A clerk from Messrs. Coutts proved that no person M the name of Leicester Stanhope kept an account with them. The Loan MAYOR remanded the prisoner, who still retained silence, until Saturday, t when all thr witnesses are ordered to be in attendance. Two drivers of stage-coaches were summoned before the Loan Maxon, charged with having furiously driven along the streets.— The defendants pleaded guilty, hut laid that the hard driving was caused by accident, and hoped to be forgiven.—The Loma MATOR, in order to ascertain the degree of offence committed by the de- 1 fondants, examined the witnesses, and finding that the cases were not of the worst kind, fined each of the furious drivers .51 —His Lordship said, that in future in order to give adequate protec tion*to the Public, be should fine every stage.ouschnian la who should be convicted a a similar offence. GUILDHALL. James Riven, Deputy Serjeant Trumpeter t. his Majesty, ap peared yesterday on behalf of bis principal, Thomas Lister Parker, Req. to request the interference of the Magistrate, in the enforce. ment of cer rain dues to which be alleged that be was entitled. The Deputy produced his Majesty's Royal Letters Patent appoieting Mr. Parker Serjeant Trumpeter to the King. To the patent was attached a schedule, the effect of which was, (according to the Deputy's construction of the document). to entitle the Serjeant Trumpeter to the several fees annexed to the several contingencies' therein mentioned. The table included all varieties of dignity and amusement, from the Coronation and marriage of the King or Queen (for which a fee of si o x=ix pounds was payable), to the exhibition of a twopenny pant in Bartholomew fair. The patent also contained, according to Mr. Rivett's reading, a penal clause di rected against all persons who should " play, mend, or beat. any 6fe, trumpet, or drum," without a license from the Serjeant Trum peter, who was therefore entitled to a shilling reediest from each exhibitor of shows, plays, pantomime, Ike- Mr. Alderman Amaze inquired if the Theatres were obliged to take out a blowing license. Mr. Rivett said, that that was a question which it was intended to try. Mr. Alderman Amur having taken a different view of the meaning of the patent, sent Lidbetter, the Marshalsman, to request the attendance of Mr. Newman, the (Sty Solicitor. Mr. Newmax, on his arrival,, inquired the nature of the ap plication. Mr. Rivett stated, that all the proprietors of shows, Ste. in Bar. l tholornew fair, bad taken out a license and paid the fees, except three or four, who went on blowing their trumpets and beating their drums without legitimate sanction. His request was, that the Alderman would proceed t. treat these offenders as vagrants. Mr. NIIMAII gave it as his opinion, after a careful inspection of the parchments, that the Magistrate had no power to interfere. He was further of opinion, that it was very doubtful wheth,r the truss. peter was entitled to any of the fees in question within Lie City o f Lostifalt, as there appeared In some parts of the schedule exceptions in favour of the city. At all events, be must have recourse to a remedy by civil action if he meant to carry the business any far ther. The Deputy th en withdrew. Twenty-seven prisoners Were brought up fur examination, mostly for offences committed in Bartholomew Fair and its vicinity. Nom of the charges of felony, however, were more serious than picking pockets of handkerchiefs, for which offence two boys were corn. 'flitted for trial, and several remanded to afford an opportunity for their friends to come forward and undertake to provide them with honest employment. The driver of a hackney coach was yesterday charged by Mr. Owen. a respectable ironmonger, who resides within a few doors of this cake, with using one of his bones in a cruel and brutal 111111011% Mr. Owen stated, that he saw the in Bow-street, early in the morning, at which time be was whipping the horse in quer dim in a very tender part, and the strokes which he inflicted 11111 the animal appeared to be without any cause. The defendant hail the appearance of being intoxicated, and uteri' persons were eala lected round the coach, attracted by the plunging of the hanwi Soon after, Mr. Owen happened to pass through Bow-street again, *ben he saw the defendant still in the act of beating his horse • but finding the whip insufficient fir his purpose, be had provide d himself with a thick plank, with which he was belabouring she poor animal most unmercifully about the head.

W. Wade, an oilman in Bow -street, was also present, and cor roborated this statement. The defendant expressed no contrition for his conduct, but on the contrary had the impudence to deny the facts which were sworn in evidence. His mistress, also, seemed half inclined to excuse his conduct, saying that the animal required correction, it having grown restive latterly in consequence of being too highly fed. Mr. Wade observed that the defendant's mistress, instead of censuring ber *errant foe conduct so brutal and unmanly, appeared to defend him. Defendant—You bad better not tank this Lady. /Wad I wOO% stared it. Mr. Maus observed it would be much more to the defendant's credit, if he was as tender of his horses as be appeared to be of his mistress. A case of aggravated crueky was fully proved against him, for which, under Mr. Martin's Act, be was convicted in the sum of 405. and Ss. costs. The defendant not having the money, was locked up. MARY-LA•BONNE. William Pored:, a boy,vralTChrrieriWith robbing his father of 31. dd. It appeared that this lad returned from the Workhouse, to his father's lodgings, on Tuesday, and on that night the old man was compelled to pawn tw• coats for 3s. 6d. to enable him to supply his family with bread. On the following morning the boy got up before his father was awake, stole the money from his pocket, and went to Bartholomew Fair, where he was apprehended.—lie was committed to Newgate for trial. M ARL BOROU 0 H-STRERT. Yesterday a boy, apparently about fifteen years of age, was brought from St. James's watchhouse and placed at the bar, charged with receiving monies feloniously from his employer, Mr. Lancaster, the proprietor of a coach-office.—Prom Mr. Lancaster's statement, it appeared that the lad (who is In the immediate employ of Mr. Lancaster, jun. whose department is to accompany the van to go for and carry out parcels) bad been in the habit of altering the figures en each porter's ticket, to the injury of the complainant, and the enriching of himself. No later than Monday night late, he discovered, by mere accident, that the'porterage tickets of two parcels of game, directed to Kensington, had bees' materially altered by the prisoner; eve, first charged ad. was changed into la. ed. and ano.her from Is. 3 d. to Is. Ltd. which money he believed the prisoner had received. He had received several complaints lately, both from Mr. Horne and Mr. Waterhouse, and was deter mined to put a stop to such nefarious transactiolu in his establish., meta. He had no doubt, he said, but that the prisoner, by his coo. duct, had put more than a pound a week in his pocket. Sir GIOROZ FAILILAXT Inquired whether Mr. L. amid produce any specific charge against the prisoner, where he could prove the money so overcharged had been paid? Here Mr. Lancaster, junior, stepped forward, and said, that in consequence of some family altercation, which he regretted bad lately taken place, his father and himself were not on the most amicable terms, and therefore it was that the present charge was instituted, solely for the purpose of depriving him (Mr. Lancaster, jun.) of a servant, who, in his profession, he could not dispense with. That there was an overcharge In the twia parcels above stated, he would not attempt to deny, adding that the poor boy was a novice, and equally liable to charge too little as the contrary. But he would positively declare that no money bad yet been paid for either of the two parcels in question. (Much angry coaversa don then took place between the father and son, in the course of which each asserted his right to the " Concern.") Sir G. neuter expressed it as his opinion, that as there appear. ed to be so much angry blood between the parties, they had better go down to the Sessions and indict each other; and. wkh respect to the - present charge against the prisoner, the money oat having been paid, he must discharge bins. I:WREN-SQUARE' A Corporal in the xd Life Guards, in which be has served is years with irreproachabk character, was reaexantined oo a charge of felony.
