After vatting her table, and firing a conflderable time on the other Tafel meat him, found it impotlible to do any thing with her, and very properly left her to go to the affiance of the other boat, who had by this thine bOardadthe brig, in defiance of a party of ten or twelve toldiers, with their mulkets and fibres, killed fit of the troops, hove two overboard, and drove the reit with the craw below.-- After cutting her cable, finding the war aground, and a light vclftl , they returned with both boats on board, not thinking proper, Yews' motives of humanity, to fet her on fire, as leveral people West heard below, fuprofed to be wounded.

FORD, at Bow greet, charged, as a member of the Loyal North Britons Volunteer corps, with having incurred the forfeiture of the fum of 4s. for fines, and nonattendance. Mr. HILL, Secretary to the corps, proved the defendant's handwriting, in a book wherein he finned his name, and pledged himfelf to be fubjeft to the regulations of the corps. The defendant Rated, that when the Corps was about to be formed, he had figned his name, agree ing to be a member, but when their fervices were ac cepted by Government, he altered his mind, and fent a letter to the Secretary to that die& It was contended by the Secretary that he had no power to do fo, in which opinion the Magiltrate coincided, and he was ordered to pay the fines, with coils, and to be confiderest a metriber of the corps. W. was fummoned on a fimilar charge. Mr. Htst. proved the defendant's ligning the mut . . ter-roll, and every thing necettary to contlitute him a member, and that he had due notice given him of the field days. It appeared that the defendant was an apprentice, and his mailer Rated he had entered the corps with out his knowledge, and that he could not (pare him to attend the field days, neither could the defendant fup. port the e :pence. Sir R. Ectan reprimanded the de fendant fur having entered the corps without his maf• ter's knowledge, and difcharged him from the fines, and from being a member of the corps. 3. I'. attended on a fimilar :harp. Mr. Hill hay. ing made the limitary ' , mot h the defence fet up was, that, at the formation of the Corps, he had fent in his refignation, but which was not accepted ; he was therefore ordered to pay the 45. with cons. Several other members were fummoned on fimilar charges; but Mr. Hitt candidly acknos hedging the fines were not the objeft, hut merely to prove the power to enforce them, he declined bringing them forward.

His filler lived with the prifoner about a year and a half, when (hr kit hitt!. Johanna Shaddock Lid, that the was married to the prifoner on the 27Th ju!y, at the pariilt of Sr..

But this WAS contra diaed by John Collett, tacker of the prifoner, who Paid that he acquainted her with the circumftance, and endeavoured to ditruoee her from the marriage ; hut the in reply laid, that they were going into the country, where no notice would be taken, and the did not think any harm would come of it. The fait of the two marriages being proved, the Jury returned a verdiel—Griii/y. _ . [Both the wires were prcfent, but only the fccond was (offered to give evidence ] Chada Daviion was indieted for (leafing a peliffe and a cloak, the property of Sarah Dall. A Mr. Cumming hated that, in patting the door of Sir Francis Dickfon, No. 17, Charlotte-(trees, Bloomffiury, he law a frifpicious looking perfon lurk ing about ; palling on, he met Leigh the officer, and informed him of his fufpicions. Leigh accordingly ' went to the No. Cumming mentioned, and Cumming having difpatched fome little bufinefs immediately followed. When he advanced he faw the prifoner walking fmartly on, and making up to him, feized him round the middle, when Leigh came up and took out of his brtaft the peliffe and cloak mentioned in the indietment. Leigh completely corroborated this teflimony. The prifoner put feveral queftions to the witneffes, but each teemed more completely to implicate him. In his defence, he Rated that he was a native of Frankfcrt, in Upper Germany. That he had been to years in Britain. Was a watch chain finifher.— That his friends lived at Birmingham. That he had received information from his mother that his father was dead, and, in confequence had come up to Lon don, to apply for a paffport. That be had only ar rived that morning in town, and in palling through the greet had been feized upon by Cumming, who af ter offering him the articles fur file, had charged him with being the thief of them. He moreover dat ed that a woman had called at the prifon for her hatband who was confined there, and had mention ed, without knowing any thing of the prifoner, that a poor young man had been arrefled in a peculiar =saner in Charlotte.ftreet, St. Giles's. That he had never till then known even the name of the place where he was apprehended ; but, being (truck with the woman's glory, had liftened to it, and found that it applied to himfelf. She had Rated that the was a tenant of Mr. Cumming, who, on his return home, on the day when the priloner was apprehended, had mentioned that he had caught a fate green bora. That he had palmed the articles on the prifoner, and had charged him with Healing them. He was tog miles from any of his friends, and therefore could adduce no evidence. • Mr. Jußice Ganse could fee no doubt in this cafe. The Jury mull either believe the teftimonies of Mr. Cumming and Mr. Leigh, which he law no room to doubt,or mull fuppofe Mr. Cumming himfelfguiltyof the crime of which the prifoner was accufed.—Cuilty. yobs Durant and Ed.:van:Dennis were charged with ftealing a piece of bacon from the fhop of Mr. Fifh, cheefemcnger, in Laing acre, on Monday 'aft. Mr. Fills laid, that about feven o'clock on the evening in quellion, as he was fitting in his back par lour, he fa.v Durant come into his (hop, and take nut the bacon: that he immediately ran after him, and followed him to the curbAliine, when the prifoner dropped the bacon. Dennis, the other prifoner, then came up, and laid he was not the man who fide it, and immediately drew a large knife, threatening to do him, a mifchief if he did not let the prifoner go. John Hughes, who alfo kept a cheefenuinger's chop dole by, on hearing the noire, went to Mr. Fi(b's, and recognised the prifoners to be the fame men who had loitered about and looked into his (hop the fame afternoon. On attempting to affift in fecuring the prifoners, Dennis drew his knife, and threatened to run him through the liver if they did not let them go. On Dennis (hiking Hughes five or fix times over the (boulder, he was obliged to leave his hold, when the prifoners ran away ; but on crying out— s. ftnp thief," they were fccured ; Dennis all the while brandilhing his knife as he went along, but which was at fait taken from him, and produced in Court. Ot. their being taken, a number of young men came around, and laid, the prifoners ought not to be taken op, as there was nobody to give charge. The prifoner Durant Rated in his defence, that he had only been a few days from the country, during which time he had been continually drinking. Dennis urged, that • ohferving fome people ill treating the other prifoner, his motive of interfering was merely to take his part.

The Prifoner led 'his guilt before the Lord Mayor. Hi, madcr gave him a gaud char:4ler, and laid that he helirveri he had ferved him faithfully till within the 'tall tvto muniks.—The Jury found the prifoner Guilty, but reci - anmended him to mercy on account of his good charaNr. .....

Mr. Fri-gut - in), clerk to the profecutors, proved that he four the prifoner examined, and that the officer produced two (mall bags of raw coffee, fount! on the ifnner, marked QS. 77. and OS. 97. Coffee of a fimilar kind, and marked nn the hap with Similar letters, was configned to their honk. No bags came to hand marked with the fame numbers as rhofe found on the prifoner. The coffee came from on board the Four Sifters. Smith, one of the Thames Police Officers, faw the prifoner on the Lath OCtober, coming up, as if from St. Katharine's Stairs, Wapping, in comeany with another perfon, each carrying a (mall bag. bufpating them, he began to follow, when they run off at full fpeed. He followed the prifoner, who let fall his bag and took refuge in a houfe, the door of which was ftanding open, which he immediately bolted on him felf. The other perfon alfo let drop his bag and efcaped. The witnefs picked up the two bags, had the prifoner fecured, and next day went to the Four Sifters, where he faw coffee in bags fimilar to tbnfe taken upon the prifoner and his companion. He could not, however, (wear that the fhip broke hulk that day. Neither could Mr. Kennedy (wear that the two bags found in the poffeffion of the prifoner and his companion, formed part of the carbo conftgned to the prolocutors. The prifoner received a moft excellent charaaer from a number of refpalable witnetFes, feveral of whom had known him from his infancy. After a very articulate charge from the Judge, the Jury found the prifoner—Nw Mr. Baron Gt •ti AM fdild, that, without pretending to animadvert on the verdl& of the Jury, in which, notwithftanding, he could by no means concur, after giving the evidence every attention in his power, he found himfelf called upon to (late to the prifoner that he had had a narrow and a peat efcape. He cau tioned him againft perfeverance in thole nefarious prances, in which it was too apparent he had en gaged, and warned him that the good than ter too often improperly given by partial friends, would not always carry him through as it had to-day. Mr. HAMILTON Rowse has obtained a pardon ma the exprefs condition that he does not return to Ire land without the permiffinn of Government. He is now in London, and lately (elicited permifUon to sift Ireland, under a legal guard, for the fake of adjuft ing tome matters in that country retpeding his pri vate property, but received a pi fitive refulal. On Wednefday was indited at Hicks's Hall, Efice- Iva liotros for keeping a diforderly haute, in Cattle. fireet, Oxford market. The Jury found he- guilty, and the Conrt fentenced her to three months impri fonment in the Houfe of Col red ion, and to find fureties, herfelf in 401. and two others in 201. each. geM autos was indicted for extnr'ion. The in. diament charged, that he being an offi:er of the She. riff of Middlefex, had arrefied the Profecutor, and, by colour of his office, extorted the Cum of five (bil lings for fearching whether there was any detainee againll the prifoner, being a fee which he was not en titled to take. Thomas Soane, the profecutor, (fated, that the de fendant, Wilton, arrelled him on the 9th of April tall, for the faro of 261. He till him immediatey that he Ihould not give bail, but depolit the money in the hands of the Sheriff, according to the provi. lions of a late Aft of Parliament. Wilton repl'ed, that he might do fe if he pleaded, but be &mild go to a lock-up-houfe, until be had fearched the Sheriff's office whether there were any detainers againft him. The profecutor ohjedcd, and prowled that they Ihnuld go to the Sheriff's office together, where he m i g h t depolit the Cum for which he was arrefled, while the officer lea' ched the boas to fee if there was any detainer. To this he fwore he would nut content, and threatened if the profecutor would not go to a fpunging honk, he would eery him dire& to Newgate. The profccutor accordingly went to the houfe of the defendant, and there he demanded Ss. as a fee for fearching the office for a detainer, before he would let not to fearch, which wss paid him. On his return, in about half an hour, he demanded half-a. crown more as houfe hire, while the profecutor was in cultody : this was alto paid ; and then he fulfered the profecutor to go at large. Mr. Coals., for the defendant, infilled the lee was incomplete, inafmuch as the profecutor had noir row. ed. that the 5.. was not a legal tee. After tome &C -otillion on this point, the Chair man refereed it ler tur:her i.onfideration. The Jury found a verdird of guilty, fubjed to the referved point of law. ~~ l '4 Iti • •. 1 I • r, I. 11 I • i • I I 1 .1
