oktis . Fri lay . . InfliarisTrynit d Joseph Holbrook oxere cl pi t all y intrietedt for robbing Mary Jacksoli; on Sus day evening, the 'Vdd of September, about half past six o'clock, of a watch and seal. The prosecutrix deposed, that she was returning home at the above hour, through Bartholomew Hos pital, when Trueman, in company with the other pri soner, and several others, met her, and made a blow at her face, which she guarded off ; he then struck her a violent blow on the bosom, and snatched her watch from her side. She immediately gave the alarm, and attempted to pursue, but was prevented by Holbrook, who held her arms ; she, however, res cued herself from him, and never lost sight of True man until he was taken. James Lloyd stated, that as he was passing through the Hospital, at the time mentioned, he heard tie cry of stop thief, when he saw Trueman run ; he im mediately pursued, and never quitted sight of the pri soner, until he took him in Smith fi eld. - He conveyed him into the George Inn ; in a few minutes the pro secutrix arrived, and recognized him to be the man who had robbed her ; a person likewise came in, and produced the watch, which the prisoner was seen to throw away during the pursuit, at the corner of Ho sierrlane. A. constable was sent for, and Lloyd assis- . ted him. to convey the prisoner to the Poultry Comp ter. They had not proceeded - farther than . Hosier lane, when they were attacked by agang of villains, amounting to about thirty, with sticks and.knives ; end the prisoner gave Lloyd a violent blow on the face, kicked up his heels, and both fell on the pave- Ment. The gang immediately set upon thorn, but Lloyd kept his hold, and was dragged to the sheep pens„ where several of the ruffians beat him with sticks, brandished their knives, and cried out, " Ham string him, cut off his b—y arms, murder him." The prisoner also called out to the gang, to ham-string theb--y b—. Finding Lloyd continue reso lute in holding the prisoner, they attempted to cut off the prisoner's coat, which was produced in Court in . a most mutilated state. After much difficulty, Lloyd and the constable succeeded in getting him back to the George Inn. Some of the gang had the audacity to follow, and treated the prisoner with ale. A re inforcement of constables was procured, and a coach get, into which the prisoner was forced, after tying his arms. The party then set off for the Poultry Comp ter. On coming out of the yard, they were again as tailed by the gang, tne coach door opened, and se veral attempts made to get the prisoner out. They 'proceeded in this manner until they got into 'New -gate-street, when the villains cut the reins and traces, and at length completely cut through the main springs of the coach, when the body fell upon the carriage. Here they again made a most.desperao... attempt to rescue the prisoner, but through the determined cou rage of Lloyd were prevegted. The officers quitted -the coach, and proceeded to the Compter for assis tance. In a few minutes Taunton arrived with brace of loaded pistols, and declared he would shoot 'the firkt man that offered to prevent the prisoner being l .carried to the Compeer ; notwithstanding this they persined; and threatened to murder him ; they hrmdished. their knives, . and cried out, gg Cut him 'clown" One of the officers was cut in his hand, and his aria nearly broken as he 'was fighting Out at the coach 'window. Sevefal coachmen were applied to while they remained in this situation, but all refused to take them ; at length Taunton procured one, and the prisoner was put into it, after Taunton had threa tened to shoot him, if he made the least resistance ; they then succeeded in conveying him to Giltspur•street Compter, as it was found impracticable to get him to the Poultry, in consequence of the determined'con duct of the gang, which by this time had considerably increased. This statement was fully 'confirmed by Taunton find the other' officers ; who also stated, that it took from half-past six until half past nine to convey him from Smithfield to the Compeer. Holbrook proved an alai,* as irclearly appeared he was seen by a post-boy beyond Brentwood, in Essex, St four o'clock the same afternoon, and the Harwich • snail coachman brought him to town s and set him down at the Spread Eagle, ineracechureh-street, at -half-past nine at night. • The Learned Judge summed up the evidence, and :in. his address to the Jury observed, that this was ono of the most abominable and shameful outrages corn- Joined in the heart of the City he ever remembered. • - The fury, found Truman Guilty ; and acquitted :Holbrook. 'The Ttidge then advised the prisoner to make the :best of Ms time, as he might rest assured upon no Inercy - being extended to him. He is twenty-three ,ears of age.. During the trial, three of the above desperate gang recolKie.d in the gallery of the Court, and were im*ediately apprehended. They underwent an exa mination at the Sessions House, 'before Sir WILLIAM CURTIS, and were epiiimitted for a further hearing. On Saturday William Jef f ries was capitally indicted for stealing in the dwelling-house of John Lamb, in the parish of St. Martin in the Fields, two silk parses, 'value 3s. ; one hair brush, value 18s. ; eight other hair brushes, value 10s.: one liquor-bottle with silver cap, value Ss. ; two work-boxes, value 41 10s. ; two wziting-case;, value in 10s.; one small silver snuff hox, value one guinea and a half ; one other silver box, value 16s. ; a very small silver box, value 2s. ; a silver knife, value .ss. ; and a great variety of other articles to a great value, the property of the said John Lamb. _:__ _ „ 'l4 prosecutor following. When the prosecutor got into the back room, lie told the constable, ” That is the young man (pointing to the prisoner) whom I sus peel of robbing me." Immediately on the constable's sliming his authority, the prisoner put his hand into his pocket, and produced various articles belonging to the prosecutor. The whole three afterwards went down stairs. when the prisoner begged that the prose cutor would grant him one favour. The prosecutor asked what that favour was, when the prisoner beg ged that he would allow him to ge to Westminster bridge that he might throw himself over, as he wish ed he was drowned. On searching the house of the prisoner's mother, on the following Wednesday, an immense number of other articles were also found in , a trtmk belonging to the prisoner, which were also the property of the prosecutor. In answer to the questions put by the prisoner's Counsel, the prosecti otor declared that he was unable to swear that more than one single article of the immense number of ar ticles found on the prisoner's person, and in his trunk, had been stolen by him at any one time ; nor did lie put the value of 40s. upon any one article. In these circumstances, by the direction of the Learned Judge (Baron TuostesoN), the Jury found the prisoner guilty of stealing, value 395. thereby do ing away the capital part of the charge. The pri soner stated his age to be twenty years. The Jury and the prosecutor recommended the prisoner to mercy on account of his youth and former good character. It was observed from the Bench, however, that the, robbing, of a person's employer was A very serious of fence; added to which, the crime charged against the prisoner wasoaggravated by its having been commit ted, to all appearance, every day during the period the prisoner had been in the prosecutor's service. Henry Davis was indicted for assaulting, on the highway, a young man named Henry Weller, putting him in fear, and taking from his person and against his will 120 pieces of copper called halfpence, to the value of ss. and four Bank -notes, value one pound each, the property of Henry Rennell. It appeared that the prosecutor, Henry Weller, , who is an apprentice to Mr. Rennell, printer, Picca dilly, had been sent out on the evening of Saturday, the 20th of October kist, to get change for a £3 note. After trying several places, lie succeeded in getting the change at Mr. Lawrence's, baker, Air-street, Piccadily. The change he got consisted of four Li wits, 15s. in silver, and ss. in halfpence. On his re turn home, and within a few doors of his mAster's house, he was attacked by the prisoner, who, bolding out a paper to him, said, the note was bad, and that he must have bark the change. Before the boy could speak, the prisoner snatched from him, out of his hand, the four £1 notes and the five shillings in half pence, and thrust into his hand at the same time the bit of paper, which he immediately examined, and, instead of being a note, found it to be a lottery bill, resembling a flash bank-note. The boy immedi ately pursued the prisoner up Air -street, calling out " &eV Thief !" and never lost sight of him till he was taken into custody. The property was picked up, but no evidence to that effect was laid before the Jury. - Ile prisoner, however, when before the Ma gistrate, begged to be allowed to serve his Majesty. ' - The prisoner bore an excellent character, and be longs to a respectable family in Wales. Mr. Richard's, the Banister, and several other respectable xvitnesses attended in his behalf, to plove these circumstances. Mr. Baron THOMPBON laid it down, the snatching the property from the boy in the way described did net amount to such a forcible taking as supported the charge of highway robbery. Ile left it to the Jury, however, to say, if the prisoner had not been guilty of stealing. The Jury accordingly found tile pri soner guilty of stealing. S. (dements Was capitally convicted for stealing a horse, the property of T. Jarman ; as was also 4. Flanb , an fur stealing a table and a desk, the property cf E. TroSlove. Cox. Edward Jo!!y, a youth of nineteen, was capitally indicted for stealing a watch. value 40s. and a silver tea-spoof:in privately in the dwelling house of Mary Woodjar, on the 14th October, and found guilty of stealing only to the value of 395. which obviates the capital punishment. The following were also convicted of felony ; vita. 'John Stalker, for stealing three yards of serge ; M. Casey, for stealing lilb. of tea; J. Norris, for steal. 'ing two baskets of peaches; J.

A fire broke out on Friday night, in Bermondsey. street, Southwark, which destroyed the chandlery. shop in which it first appeared, and damaged the ad joining houses. A young man, who was hed-rid.len, lost his life in the flames, and another was much hurt. Same evening another fire broke out in St. John's street, Southwark, which was not got under until con siderable injury had been sustained. Wednesday night a most dreadful fire broke out in a basket-maker's house in Plymouth, which raged with unremitting fury till four o'cleck on the Thursday morning. The devouring element completely burnt down to the ground four houses ; one was pulled down to preveru the fire from communicating to the house of Mr. Mame, ship-builder, and 14 extensive deck-yard. Saturday, a fire broke out in the gallery of the ~g at g 9, biarshalsea Prison, which was, however, extinguished two weeks without dPing ouch damage. .s taken A child named Rannard was poisoned as Horn ...cutor as his castle last week, through the mixed indiscretion (as Monday, Bth the story is related) of two or three persons.

The prosecutor is a silversmith, &c. residing Cockspur-strect and the prisoner had, for twc previous to the Bth of October, when he wai into •custody, been employed by the prosecute porter, in his shop.

The Judges DALY and OsBORNE sat pursuant to ad journment.—Anthony Moore was indicted for a high way robbery ; and, on the prosecutors being called, and nut appearing, the Jury returned a verdict of ac quittal : Mr. BETHEL moved for his discharge ; the Court ordered it accordingly. John Burgess was indicted for an unlawful combi nation, a riot an ,ii assault on the 11th of October inst . . Mr. M , Nally stated _the case, in which he expatiated at great length on the mischievous consequences aris ing from combinations among the artists of the king dom. The first witness was It. Peet, examined by Mr. Ridgway—proved he was foreman to Mr. An derson, calicthprinter, of Love-lane ; the prisoner was a journeyman in the same trade—that or. tile evening of the 11th inst. he met the prisoner in Cork-street, en returning from his work, and on refusing to drink with the prisoner, he knocked him down without any ' provocati ; proved general acts of combination hay. ing happened at Cork-street, where it was agreed that the foremen were not to work at the table, but 'to walk about, and were not to teach the apprentices. It was then unanimously agreed that they should ant return to their work on the terms the masters offered. They likewise object-al to the new regulations that had been made.—The witness underwent a very We cross-examinaticn by Mr. Gould in which be stated, that die masters had net together for the pirepase making regulations which the journeymen objected to; the men wanted no advance in their wages, but objected to the signing of the indentures which were opffessive and unfair. This witness admitted that he hal been, discharged from Mr. Osbrcy's employment in consequence of h.tving taken Ohs of flour from his premises. Several witnesses were then examined . to prove general acts or combination, but admitted that all the master calico-printees, except 14r. Clarke, of . Talmerstown, insisted upon the workmen signing the new regulations. Alderman Archer proved the prisoner, Burgess, having been breught to his office, who admitted he had written a letter relating to the subject of what was termed combination • that he had been present at different meetings of. t he workmen for the purpose of regulating their trade ; that they had a correspon dence with England, and any man that deviated from their rules would not get employ m ent there. Mr. Gnot.u, on the part of the Prisimer, deplored" the necessity of having io address the Jury on such a subject ; he admitted that combinations of all kinds were inj urious to the country, but the only crime , proved in the present instance, had been' a legitimate resistance tee rules made .by the masters themselves contrary to law, on a domineering principle of self aggrandizement and debasement - to thfiejounreymen. That since the reign of George 11. to:the present pe riod, various statutes had keen enacted for the pur pose of putting down combination, in which the mas ters were rendered as liable to indictments as the jour neymen. The levying of money by fines according to t! -, .e new regulations cf the masters, who were not ill corporated by charter, nor backed by the authority of Parliament, he contended, was illegal, and he there fore applauded the spirit of the prisoner in opposing so nefarious and impolitic a resolution. He bestowed a well-merited eulogrum on Mr. Clarke, of Paimers town, who has a great number of men is his employ ment, who have remained with him because he itiOided the monopolizing spirit of rule and dictation. He concluded by besegbing the Jury to be at once ust and merciful. George Hemner was ezaminediry Mr. GHEnr..— Provcd he was a delegate from the journeymen to die meeting - of the masters, who proposed certain regula tions-which he was bound to reject, and would rather beg his bread in another country than submit to - them. This witness underwent a cross-examinition by Mr. *NALLY, in which he did not vary in any material Particular. The next and last witness was Edward Clarke, Esq. who proved he had been 30 years in the business— knows the last witness—believes him to be an hat test man—did not himself exact any of those regulations insisted upon by The other Masters--that he always made a distinction between honest industrious trades men and menial servants knew the prisoner from his boyhood—has been a well-conducted man and re spectably connected. Mr. Ridgway having asked Mr. Clarke of Palmers town, if he was a journeyman calico printer, would he subscribe to the rules laid down by Masters ? to which he answered, No. Being asked, Why ? he said, because they were unconstitutional and uncalled for ; that a line of distinction should always he drawn between journeymen and servants, and that although custom had in a manner sanctioned the propriety of a discharge to a servant, it could only tend to the worst consequences to oblige journeymen' to receive such. and thereby place themselves on a level with the most menial servant. .Tudge Daly heartily coincided with Mr. Clarke, and observed that no general rules should be laid down for the conduct of journeymen. The proprietor of Printfields might propose rules for their own factories, but should not upon any account go beyond it. The Learned Judge Daly, in charging the Jury, observed, that however the master of a family might enact certain regulations for the economy of his own establishment, yet, neither he nor any other set of men could make laws to regulate society. The object of theslaw of combination was to protect trade, but that could not be called combination which was pro duced by the masters themselves. As to the riot, there appeared no grounds whatever, for conviction ; and as to the assault, the first witness, Pcet, appeared in a very questionable shape,having admitted that he had been discharged by his employer L'or malpractices. The Jury retired for ten minutes, and brought in a verdict 61 acquittal. 11A! priau.icr WAS «ceordingly d 7 tcharged. • ~. .
