He was then taken np, when two bad half crowns and a good one were found upon him.

There was more charged on the neif then the old tielcet.

The prosecutor (a lad), stated, that he bad been at Bow Fair, when he drank too much liquor, and was carried on the back of his brother, who, becoming tired of his burthen, turned him over to the pilsoner, who was in company with them. The pri soner turned out of the main road, and went down a lane with the prosecutor, and then threw him down, holding his bead over the witness's mouth, to prevent him making a noise. Prisoner then took the watch out of his pocket, and left him. Prosecutor afterwards went to his brother's at Stratford, and gave information to the police on the fol lowing morning. Mr. ANDIMTB (for the , prisoner) examined the witness, and asked him if be had not known the prisoner for some time? lie acknowledged that he had known him fur two years. Prosecutor stated, under the examination of Mr. Asoaiws,:that he had received his watch again and 21. from the prisoner's father. Oeorge Ellis, a Bow Street patrol, deposed of baring heard of the robbery on the Ist of October. It took place on the 29th of September. Witness, although he made diligent search after him, did not inert with him until last Thursday, at the Three Tuns, in Mile-end-road . When apprehended, Davis said he was sorry for what he had done.—The prisoner received an es. cellent character from his master and other persons who had knotrn him for several years.—The Jury deliberated for a few minutes, and afterwards returned a verdict— " Ouilty of stealing from the person, but not by force." POLICE. MR. PRINCE AND THE POYAIS ENVOY. Dismount( House:—Yesterday Mr. Richardson. who styles himself the Envoy to the Cacique of Poyais, was bronght before the LORD MAYOR upon a warrant, charged by Mr. Prince; of •Leadenhall Street, with having written a challenge to him to fight a duel ; at least such a letter as, in Mr. Prince's opinion, was calculated to provoke a man to .6 ht a duel. Apptlnation had been made the day before to Alderman Magnay for the warrant, Mr. Prince having stated to the Alderman that one Colonel Ross had called . at hi. house from Mr. Richardson with a letter, of which the following is a copy : " Osk Hall, Wanstead, Oct. 25, 1823. "SCR—lf you see the author, or have been the means of the assertion in Thc Times newspaper of a statement as false as it is abusive, made again4t myself, I trust that you will not shrink from the personal responsibility which that stateroest carries with it, but acknowledge the same boldly, in order that I may know. bow to act towards yon.—My friend Col. Ross, who presents this, will meet any friend you appoint. "I am, Sir. yours, &c. !!( To Mr. Priam/sc. Lloyd's. "W. J. itICUARDSON." Mr. WARN& the solicitor. who attended upon the part of Mr. Prince, produeed the letter to the Lard Mayor, °biers'. int, that ii contained undeniable evidence of an attempt to break the peter, and that Sir. Richardson's ground for such a proceeding wai nootber than the mere suspicion that Mr. Prince had written an article in The Times newspaper,. injoridus to his feelings. Now the fact was, Mr. Prance was not the writer .of the statement alluded to, nor of any other statement in The Times. Mr: Richardeon, however, thought proper to send Col. Ross, a Poysis Colonel, he (Mr. Warne) presumed, with the challanee.—Mr. Richard. sow said; Mr. Warne hail no right to presnme any thing about Col. Roes, and requested th st •be would contitie him self toThs facts.—Mr. Warne said he hid nothing More to do Alum to peeve' tbs . hand writing of Mr. Richardson, !which he roam do throsigh the medium of a bankeref clerk. if it were considered' necessary.-Mr. Riehards4 I. do 'net deny it; it is my writing!—The Lotto Mayon then liked the defendant what be bad to say tb the charge of provolt. Log to fight a duet ? Mr. Richardson said that Mr. Prince might pet that con. 'traction upon the letter if be pleased. Upon reading The Times of Saturday, he (defendant) saw an article in which Mr. Prince's name appeared, redecting much upon hint (defendant). He felt much insulted, and, as was 'petaled, sent Colonel Ross with the letter to Mi. Prince, eicotiring that he would either deny or avow the published statement, in order that such steps might be taken as *ere( necessary for the honour of the party insulted...• He tlidnght proper not to call upon Mr. Prince himself, as he feared he should not be able to keep his temper.—Mr. Prince said he thought it necessary to proceed in this manner to protect himself and the rest of his Mejesty's subjects from the violence of a man, who admitted that he was not able to confront his temper. The Loan MATOR said, that if the matter complained of by Mr. Richardson was libellous, he might resstri to • Court of .Justice, in which he would be sure to meet redress. It appeared that Mr. , Prince was not the writer of the artiele.—Mr: Richarson said there was no necessity in his applying at The Times office. He had . already ordered his solicitor to bring an action against that paper, and he merely sent to Mr. Prince to know whether he was the author or not, and according to the answer, to rdiptire satisfaction or not.—Mr. Prince asked *bat injury Le ever done to Mr. Richardson that he should be tresU4 hh each a manner ? he knew nothing of Mr. RiChitrdsee, nor. of the Poyait Loan, and hail no interest In the b 4 inese. His only object was to assist those poor crestnred distresses' had been publicly stated ; and be bad weer. written the statement alluded to, nor attached his name to it. .Mr: Richardson said lie did not blame Mr. Prince for his interference in the manner described, as to the men whom he assisted. His intention In sending the letter was to know whether a personal insult was intended' by the article alluded to. He had hestd from Hest's., whom cer tainly, he was not much disposed to credit, that Mr. Prince hid drawn up the affidavit containing the offensive matter. If Mr. Prince •would say that he meant no insult to him,„ he would be satisfied. air. Prince said he neither drew up ' nor si;,rned the affidavit. The Unit Sheol' said he considered it necesisry to call upon the defendant to keep the peace, himself in 5001., and two sureties io 1001. each.—Mr. Sovrerby; of Nos. 6, and 7, Birchin Lane, and Mr. Herman Hendrick, of No. 39, Montague Place, then 'entered into securities for the. defendant, who immediately withdrew. GUiLDRIALL.—Tna FEIGNS!) ASSASSINATIOS.—Upon more minute examination of the room in which Sir.

Bow STRlST.—Yesterday, Thomas Toile, a money lender, residing. at No. I. Great Smith-street, Westminster, was charged under Sir T. Plomer's Act, with misapplying two bills of exchange, for 3001. each, which had been entrusted with him to get them discounted. Miss Bearcroft, of No.B, Rammersmith-terrace, was sworn, and deposed that in June last she saw an advertisement n a newspaper, stating that bills were discounted, and money ad vanced upon good security, by a person of respectability, and referring to No. I, Great Smith-street, Westminster. She went there, and saw the prisoner, who agreed to discount a bit for 6W., receiving a discount of 101. The money: he said, was to be advanced by a gentleman in Wyndham-street, Bryanstone square. Sne gave him the bill, and received 401. A short time atter the prisoner waited upon her, and informed her that he knew a gentleman who had MI to advance, and would discount bills to that amount upon receiving a'liberal allowance. — She drew two bills upon the Dowager Countess of Delawsrr, which being accepted by her ladyship, were handed over to the prisoner, who was within three days to bring bittl. in money, The prisoner, however, delayed the payment from time to time, still keeping the bills ; and alt that she ever got was Mt., and that was paid by instalments. She made no agreement to take wine. or plate, or watches, in part payment, but was to have money. The prisoner had no authority, special, conditional, discretionary, or otherwise, to apply - the bills to any other pur pose than such as she had described. Coventry Brooke Bea rcroft, Esq. stated, that, in consequence of the repeated delays in the payment of the sum agreed upon, he, on behalf of his sister, went to the prisoner yesterday morning, and insisted upon having an explaratinn.—The prisoner admitted that he had parted with the bilis, and stated that he had paid them to Mr. Mann, a wine merchant, in Lime street, Fenchureh-street, for some claret, which was deposited at a house in Arundel-street, Strand, whither he invited wit ness to go and taste it. Witness, however, had previously ascertained, that one of the bills was paid to Mr. Barnard, a 'iversmith, in the Strand; and that souse plate and a gold repeater were part of the goods .received by the prisoner in exchange; The gold repeater was.charged sixty guineas to the prisoner, and it had since bees pawned at Mr. Dobree's, a pawnbroker. for fifteen pounds. Witness agreed to meet the prisoner in Arundel-street at one o'clock ; but meanwhile he applied at this office, and obtained a warrant for his appre hension, and Bishop was in attendance ready to receive the prisoner. Witness tasted the wine, which the prisoner said 'was charged five guineas a dozen to him, but which he was ready to declare was not worth two pounds. it was a thin light wine, and scarcely fit to drink. The prisoner, who seamed much dejected, declined saying any thing when called upon. Mr. HALLS said, that looking at the Act of Parliament, and isonfinicg himself to its strict meaning. there was one thing which struck him as a difficulty not easily to be surmounted.- 1; wag true that Miss Bearcreft bad at first intrusted prisoner with the billi for the purpose of getting them discounted im mediately, and the prisoner had not done so; but then she admitted having subsequently received !WI. on aceoeot. Was not this giving the prisoner a sort of authority for keeping the bills I Mr. Beareroft sail he had positively undertaken to return the bills in three days, if he did nut pay the 310/. • Mis Bearcroft produced a written undertahing given to her by the prisoner, in which were these words :—" And I farther agree to return the bills on Thursday next, if the money Is not paid in that time." This was written on a Monday, in August. • Mr. Hata.s said this camp'etely met the point. Mr. Bearoroft—Yes, I fan.) , that fixes the nail. This is Meru seriph manet, I believe. Mr. liciaxs said lie should remand the prisoner for further examination on Friday, and took °minims t., observe, that it was really astonishing that people should suffer themselves to be imposed. upon so easily. What was there' in the ape pomace of this man to induce a parson to trust Mai with bills to the amount of thari. ? It was surprising that cases like the present should so frequently occur.—Tl s prisoner was coca= milted till Friday. William Smith, an infirm silver haired old man, whets a respectable publican; living in Great Queen-street, Lincoln's ion-fields, was bronght on a warraat for an, milting sod beating William Libbett, a dapper yoing mar, who by his deportment. stewed to entertain no very slight opinion of his own abilities. • • ' • • He stated, that a few evenings since, be was . sitting in' the parlour of the Defendset's house drinking a pint of porter, when the Defendant rushed in suddenly, and commenced a most violent assault on him by striking him over the head with a thick stick ; the blows were so violent that they nut only lacerated and braised his bead, but broke his bat, which was a new one, all to pieces, and this was all done without his baying given the slightest , provocation. , I Mr. HALLS the Magistrate, said, it was very strange that the landlord of a public-boase should, without say reason whatever, commit an assault of the description complained of, on one of his customers 1 if he was in the practice of doing so, very few persons would frequent his house. The Defendant, who bad been evidently struggling to , restrain the indignation he felt towards the Complainant, then said, " Sir, I do certainly admit that I struck the Complainant, ache had described: but I should tell you that I was influenced in doing so by his having seduced my .only daughter, who throogh - his villainy lies ill abed, and 1 is now past all hope of recovery,' notwithstanding which I he continues to frequent my house, and although on the evening in question my wife bad quietly desired him to go out, he refused, and tenting her that as long as be had the price of a pint of beer in his pocket lie would come and sit in my house out of aggravation. Now, I would put it' to your Worship whether your feeling as a father or a man, would not have prompted you to do as I have done, and whatever may be. the consequence I regret that age has so enfeebled my power as to prevent me giving him a more adequate punibbmen - ." Mr. HALLS, whom this appeal had evidently effected, cooly tore the warrant in halt, and told the Complainadt to go about his business, and discharged the Defendant' Sir Mensal) limns and Mr. HALLS were very painfully occupied, a great part of the morning, in the investigation of a charge made against a householder at Brampton of having misted the person of his servant girl, The accused, ao elderly man, has hitherto borne a respectable character in society, and be hays, wife and daughter who are much respected. . He was remanded for further examination on Friday; and, in consideration of his afflicted family, we abstain from publishing his name io the present stage of the business. Ai ARLSOROUGII Sliterr.—Yesterday a young girl about fourteen years of loge, named Maria Herbert, was brought to this Office, on auspicion of breaking the windows of several houses belonging to J. Ashley, Esq. Army Agent, in Elizabeth Place, Queen Street, Pimlico. In the course of last week no less than four houses in Elisabeth Place, hail thirty-nine windows broken; several brick-bats and large stones were fiend in the courts and rooms belonging to the houses, and - some of the inhahi • tants narrowly escaped being stvnek by the missiles. One womao, when in the set of looking through a window, was exceedingly alarmed by a stone passing through the glass immediately above her head. - The panewas 'shattered into a thousand pieces, which fell at her feet. %Thai lidded t 4 the 9 ing amity of the ease wet,. the ayatollah% 'Mt over it; ao one IsavilOg been ditcogeted Iff ttre"climifities of the mischievous act.

The Magistrate (H. M. DYER, Esq.) said the set was so highly penal, that unless clear evidence were pro:laced, bd could not convict. In the present case, there was nothing to show that the f!efend ant had broken the windows, and she must therefore be discharged. Mr. Ashley canahlered himself - very-ill treated by some of his tenants; and considered it probable they hal re= sorted to this trick, in brder to have a pretence for leaving their houses. The Magistrate said he could not interfere, and the par ties then left the Office. _ _ _ Queer, SQUARI. —Yesterday John Thornton. a young man, was brought op in custody of Polite, the officer, charged by his brother, Mr. IV. Thornton. butcher, of Chelsea Market, with having burelariottsly entered his dwelling house, and stealing therefrom a quantity of Meat. wearing apparel, and other property.—Mr. Thornton idea. tified the property produced, and the prisoner was fully committed to Newgate for trial, and his brother seemed determined to prosecute him at the Sessions. 'rows HALL—A Portuguese Jew, mimed Asron Wulfe, was brought op under the Licensing Act, for offering for sale a time-piece and metal watch with ,ut license. The case was proved by Wan. liesr, inspector of hawkers, and his assistant, James Oxley, of his having first offered the time piers for sale at the Ship public house, Stones' End, in the Borough, for 21 . ; hat finding no pnrchaser, produced a met,' watch, which he offered for 305., and afterwards went to the Black Man, Blackman Street, where they followed and saw him do the same. On his license being demanded, he said he had none ; 'but had one last year, anal was unable to renew it from poverty. Wolfe, in his defence, said he bad manufactured the arti cle.; but it was fount he had merely repaired them, after receiving them as a gift from a gentleman who gave them. from the humane motive, that by selling them he might obtain fOod, being in mooch distress. This story was corroborated by the gentleman himself, who spoke to the man's character and destirnte c ondition. A professional gentleman from Somerset House pressed for a conviction under the statute, which indicts a penalty of 101. The poor man entreated, in the event of Vs being sent to prison, that his wife (who stood by Isis side crying bitterly) who had been in this country but three or fear days, and spoke not a word of its language, might be &holed the property, to keep her from starvation. Mr. Alderman Satire said he could not divest himself of the suspicion, that the witness Hear, who bad appsevel before him in character of an informer titre after time, lime interested in the decision, and would participate is she penalty. With this ittoppesiou. he sturold reosire addi tional evidence; before confirming a conviction -against the defendant. It was seen agreed that the starer should wand over for the production of other evidence.; hot subsequently. in con sideration of the peculiar nature of the case, and the dee. fendent's having last yew-held a license, be was . granted a week's time to renew it, or ester the penally. • s• Ustort Nat.s.—Yesterday a stair:mon, wasted Jola Marphernon, was brought biefore 11. J. CHAIM*** gig , charged with having used abusiee.sediesultiug langsrige to a gentleman earned porradaile. Mr. Borradaile stated, that on the ljth isst..he hired the defendant to put 1 • across the Ater froth the' Custom House, to the opposite landing. 01411111-stein. On being set ashore, the complaisant presume sa Expease, and desired the defendant to change it, anal *take hie fare. The fare was no sooner offered, than the defeedaer, -with; a most contemptuous sneer, exclaimed. " year anyes v l wish 1 bad never seen your face." The towspltheast maid that be was detained for it considerable• time before the waterman chose to accept his fate, awl oe beteg threatesed with a summons for his misconduct, be sighs repeated the abuse. Mr. Borradaile added, that he had been for several days inhseqnent to this conduct, looking after the defeat'. ant, against whom he bad taken out a warrant; bat the latter evaded him and the officer by omitting his name, and altering the number of his boat. Several pf the water men at Mill-stairs begged the consp‘ekirat woohi prosecute the charges against the defendant, ird It was a fesr.such fel. lows, they said, that brought the #6l,elnatly of watermel into disrepute. Harris, the Officer. corroborated the latter part of the complainant's statement, • Mr. ettlianteaS observed, that the Public were indebted 'to Mr. Borradaile for his perseverasee foUoveiu,r up the charges against the defendant, whio.lte, (the Magistrate was determined should be dealt witb.as an example for all "watermen. The Magistrate then fitted the defendant in die following sums :-40 shillings foi ',hosing his fare; 40 shillings for wrongfully detaining the complainant; 20 shillings for omitting his towto name on the boat; and 20 shillings more for altering his number: which sums the defendant !erasing to pay, he was sent to the county gaol for one month on each charge. A man of the name of George Smith, underwent en exa mination at the Guildhall, Beth, on Friday, charged with kiZt• log his wife on Wednesday evening, by striking her on the head, which caused an extravasation of nlood. it appears that the parties were quarrelling when the fatal event occurred.
