He also discovered that his bureau was broken open, and his east- box, contain ing hank notes and silver to the amount stated in the indictment was gone —the following nay he caused hanai-billa to be circulated, offering a reward pf rout. for the discosery of the thieves. He had known both the prisoners for sense time : they had frequented his house two or three times a day, and from the time of the rub. Nay they had ceased to come there. On the 17th of April he saw the prisoner Redding to Gorwell-street, in company with another man, and was approaching to seize him, when Redding caught slain of him, and he and his companion retreated down Wildeniess•row and he lost sight of them. It. a moment after he saw S axton looking down Wilderness-row, and took hiin by the collar, and told huts he should detain hint on a charge of felony.—When he was seized, mad before he was told • what the charge against hint was, he said, -"I his lacing done to defraud your creditors."

A kw days afterwards the prisoner was observed talking with a female in Spital fields, when he was taken into custody. • The jury immediately found 111111 Guilty.

The prosecutor, a respectable looking young man, e swore,. that as lie was going biome to Ratelifl• highway, on the imh of April, lie met with a woman of colour, and was induced to accomputiv her to a house in Went . wonh-street,•Whitecisapel. He had been but a few mi nutes in the room when the two prisoners and a man with a wooden kg came in, and, placing themselves be fore the door, Minted upon his giving them money to get • drink. As a pretext for getting out of the room, he said he would go and get something to drink, but the wooden legged man seized him by the collar, swore lie owed him 31. and that he should not leave the room till it was ;mid. The female primmer joined in declaring it was so, and the man with the _wooden kg got hint tlowti upon the floor, and called to the female prisoner to get hios a knife.. which was given to the male prisoner, who eat off his 'pocket containing the money in question, and then said, " shall we cut the b—s throat?"

There was no pmof of the child having been born alive ; and the Jury returned a verdict of—Not Guilty. Capt. Algernon Disney was then put to the bar, charged with havingdauked the death of Anne Banting, 'spinster, by repeated assaults on the tat of September, the 30th of October, and several other days, in the parish Mary-le-bonne. On calling the witnesses several appeared to be absent, and Mr. .Barou Garriaw complained strongly of the want of attendance of those parties. Mr. Alley, as counsel Mr Capt. Disney, said, that notice had been given to all the witnesses to a. tend. Mr. Baron Graham remarked that bout justice to the- prisoner and the public required a full investigation of this case, and that he was ready to hear any applica tion for the postponement of the trial. Mr. Alley said, that, on the part of Capt. Disney, he had no such application to. wake. Tile first witness was Robert Coates, a constable, who merely proved the fact of the arrest of the prisoner,. and the removal of Ann Bauting to an infirmary,•where she afterwards died. Hannah Coles, the midwife of the bospital, proved the reception and death of Anise 114111110 g, as she thought, at the time, in consequence of the after pains of labour. Susinnals Dawson deposed to the statement m .de to •J he by the deceased, of various beatings with • stick which she had received from the prisoner; the last time was a fortnight before she was sent to the hospital. 'Mr.Getclyer, the apothecary to the hospital, said, that when the deceased was atimitted, he merely considered her as labouring tinder a common curt!, ..o I ordered uses • .

Joieph Blakeney was indicted _ . • , 11111erdingly. At the Bine be was no aware dlit Mt** pregnant; but she was afterwards delivered, and subsequently attacked with fever, inflam mation of the bowels, St. Anthony's fire, whic hl led to a mortification and caused her death. At that time St. ..Anthony's fire was epidemic. He had no doubt that .her death was caused by the disease he had . mentioned, and not by violence. There were certainly marks on the body, but not sufficient to induce ht.n to supposeelte had met her death in any other manner than by disease.— Verdict—Not Guilty. Peter George Patniore wig then put to the bar.charged upon the coroner's inquisitllb, and upon a bill. returned by the guild jury for the county of Middlesex, with the wilful murder of John Scott. Mr. Wahine!, in ope g the case for the prosecution,. said, he appeared to-day as the representative of the wilily of the late Mr. Scott, but the jury would readily believe that in bringing flowed this case they were not actuated • by any vindictive monks lowan!' tile accused, especially whets they learned he had long been most rittimate friend of the deceased; that he had attended hint with the most • ttender and 3111(10116 solicitude while lingering from the. "effect of his wound,even to the day of his deetn, and that - he stilt retained the friendship of the relatives of Mr. S.— The case had already peen-once the subject of investiga- • bon, and it had alto-been the topic of WUCh CO4iveisatlon. • —lie entreated, however, that the jury %should dismiss from their minds all that they nitwit perviously nave' - ~beard or read of the matter, and. decide. only upon the evidence which should be brought betore thetas. With respect to the law of the case, he would take leave to address to them one or two observations. If men quar relled, and afterwards had the subject, and still persisted in going out and engaging in mortal combat, and death ensued, he was afraid the Crime would amount to titurderi for the law recognised none of the distinctions or rules of what we.call honour; - if, however, the jury should be of opinion that the par ties in the preset/Leese had not time to reflect, that they went out in the heat of passion, antliteatheusued while they were in that state, the offence could only amount to manslaughter- And with reference to this consideration it would be important to them, to know that the duel took place by moonlight. Mr.l3ayley By moonlight, you say, Mr. Walford? • You will observe- that, gentlemen of the Jury." Mr. Watford contintied.—He would entreat the jury 'once more to dismiss from their minds all previous im pressithie upon the subject, and to come to the consider ation art it coolly and dispassionately. He also detailed the circumstances of. the case as they have already been • so often detailed, and procredesl to call witnesses. Mr. J. T. Pettigrew, of Spring-gardens, surgeon, was first called. Wiwi' he hail been sworn, , Mr. Justice Bayley said, " Mr. Pettigrew, I wish to , gayest something to you, before ,you give any evidence. - If you apprehend that, by any evidence which you may be called mum to give, you may, by possibility, subject *yourself to a • :nal orosecutiOn, you are at liberty to , yourself answering the queititans put to you." Pet t igrew..—" My Lord, I sin exwenselywateful for she Suggestion; -but net apprehend that - I shall subject myself to a prosecution. , as I meielpettended, at the request of one of the parties. in order that I eight render medical assistance, if it should be toeceasery. 1 have therefore HO objection to give evidence." . • Mr. Justice Bayley.--" 1 will tell you. Mr.tPettigresv„ that, if you attended with the knowledge .elvitoit duel was to take place, though it was only to renderomilicaL ausistance, if it should 'be nec,:ssary;.you would be liable to a criminal prosecution." • Mr. Pettigrew.—" Then, my Lord, I shall beg leave• to decline answering any questions." W. B. Morris, assistant , to Mr. Pettigrew. was next called, and use sante amnion was given to Mut by ike I. atom! Judge. He also declined, under such careum.- - stances to give evidence.. . Dr. Darling was then called, and , deposed that tile • cause of Mr. Seutt's death was a wound bipi bullet, and said that some time befiare his decease he mattes comma. titration to witness upon the subject of the duel. Wit ness could nut say, that the deceased, at the time he made this cuannuttication. believed himself to be in ex. trestle danger. He had been told the wound was date , .gennis, but nut necessarily mortal. Upon this %Dation the Judges decided that the coin munication could tint be received in evidence. Mr. Watson, of Chalk Farm Tavern..and his servant,. were called, and inlayed their going into the field and seeing Mr. Scutt lying on the ground, and Mr. Panama rand the other gentlemen standing near him. They re. moved Mr. Scott to the house, witere he died souse days after, btu- they could give no evidence how he Caine by • the wound except•that they heard the reports of pistols.
