MANSION House.—An acgrarated case of rnhhory was brought before the Loup MAYOR by the cook of the Scotch smack Sarah. The prisoner is a sailor named Scott, will) was shipwrecked in the North Sea, and owed the preserva tion of his life to the complainant and the rest of the crew of another I. The complainant stated, that on Thursday last the smack Sarah, saw the prisoner and about 20 other sailors in an open boat in the sea, at the distance of 70 leagues from 1 ynemouth, without provisions or fresh water, and in such eircumeances that no hope could have been entertained of their preservation if the weather proved nnfavourahle.— They had belonged to the Tigris vessel, which had louts tiered in the late gale, and had with difficulty secured the long boat of that ship just as she was going down. The utmost kindness was shown to them on board the Sarah ; but there was one amongst them who proved himself ttn• worthy of the good treatment be had received. The cont. plainant had under his care a parcel from a gentleman in Scotland to one in Loudon, and he placed it in the cabin fur greater safety. The prisoner had. however. gut a glimpse Of it, and determined to get bold of it on the first opportu• , sity. As soon as the rah landed, the prisoner Sneaked off. withont thanking his benefactors, and soon after his disap pearance the parcel was missed. A pursuit was commenced, and the thief was apprehended while wandering a b out Cornhill. In thefello N's pocket was found the wrapper of the Iparcel, and it appeared that he bad dispos e d of th e conten t s , with which the complainant was Sot acquainted, as he bad n o t b e en informed by the owner. The prisoner's defence was, that he had been " haw Kereil" on board the vessel that picked him up, and he might as well have been drowned as starved ; that he therefore took the p►rcel, which lay about useless to every body, and sold the contents for a few shillings at the water side. fie would not tell at what ship he made the sale. The Couk dechred, that the regular ship'. allowance had been given to the whole of the crew that had been saved. The crew said they had been well treated, anti applied to the Lord Mayor for relief, as they had no more than they stood up. in.— The Tigris had, they said, been being in ballast to Shields, and scot to bare gone from thence to St. Helena, with coals. After they had cot away the mainmast and mizen, the ballast, which was loose. shifted, and the ship foundered. There was scarcely time for the crew to get into the long boat when she went down. The boatswain and the mate became iotoxicated when the gale commenced, and could not be got out in time: they therefore went down with the vessel. The rest of the crew were exposed in the openlhost for twelve hours, and they de ela•ed that the prisoner um always a lazy skulking fellow. The Lotto NI A TOR could render them no assistance Le avitt! that of ordering an officer to look after the owner of ills vessel, and recommending theta to his notice. His Lor !ship remanded the prisoner, and directed that the par. cel which had been s'olen should be searched for. Soon afterwards intelligence was brought that the owner was not to he found, anti The LORD MAYOR then desired, that the case of the poor men should be stated at Lloyd's in order that ships mipht might be procured for them. and he did not doubt that an appeal to those gentlem•'n would be effectual, as always had been the case where the real distress existed. Bow Sire ert.--Yeatertlay PraociaStirthig, the boy who was charged on the previous day with putting out the eye of a child named Ross, was again brought up, when a certificate was pro luced from a surgeon at Bartholomew Hospital, stating that the sight of the eye would be lost, but that there was no danger beyond that. The prisoner was therefore admitted to bail, to answer for the assault at the sessions. Frizz-Bowe ENatasnAllt,t.—A chaser, two tailors, and a waiter, were yesterday bronchi to this office, on a charge of riotous conduct the preceding night, in New Street, Covent Garden: It appeared that these gentlemen had been indulging too freely in libations of heavy wet, and sallied out from their orgies about twelve o'clock. They commenced their amusements by thundering at every watch-box they approached,as if they supposed the inmates had, by sonie very unusual accident, dropped into a deep sleep. The Char!e A ,:. however, were still awake, although rather disposed to a dose, and being incensed at such unseemly interruptions, they . rushed out, and warned the rioters of the danger they incurred by such freedoms. They still, however, persisted; and vauntingly declared that they were " free-born Englialimen"—that they were in a free country, and that they were determined to exercise the privileges of their freedom to the full extent. The Charley: made free to tell them that if they persisted in their noisy career, they should be loilged in the wat:h house for the night, and conducted before Sir Richard Birnie in the morning., who would probably-401 them that their privileges did not extend to the right of disturbing the peaceful guardians of the night by their irregularities. The tailors treated this threat with contempt, and asked what was Sir Richard but a Sadler?—This indignity offered towards the Chief bla;istrate decided their f ate , and they were safely lodged in " durance vile," where they remained till yesterday morning. On being brought before Mr. HALLs, their manners were considerably sub dued, and they seemed very willing to acknowledge that they had been in the wrong. After a suitable admonition, they were ordered to find hail. Fu R t ace Date I xn.—Joseph Riggs, a farmer, residing at Acton, nal brought up on a charge of driving his cart against a poor woman of the name Mary Butler, on Tuesday week, thereby endangeririg her life. Mrs. Butler type seed at the office in a dreadful state of muti lation; Lei- face was cut in several places; her breast greatly bruised, and her person, generally, enrich contuse) and lacerated.—She Stated, that she was appointed to keep r the bar of the King's private road, at Chelsea, along which ; no carts were permitted to pass. Observing the defendant coming along the road, whipping his horse, in the most outrageous manner, She rose to shut the bar, and had partly closed it when the defendant drove against it at full speed—knocked her down, and the wheels of his cart passed over her ; she was so much injured as to be unable to attend from that day until the present. • This statement was corroborated by two respectable witnesses, and by a Surgeon, who described the wounds she had received.—The defendant said, that he had been conveying a cow and a calf to Chelsea, and was on Ids return home, when the mire he was driving became so unruly that he cont.! net in snap her; he got down to coax her; but this was without effect; and, on again mounting, she ran off at speed. The complainant denied that this Was the true state of the ease, and observed, that, Ling before the defendant reached the tear, be was whipping his horse most uncnerci- Me. HALLS held the defendant to bail. WonSitte-rritenT. —Mr. itiorpn, one d the thopmen of Medhurst, linen-dr:suer, Norton-Falgate, seal charged With a violent assault upon Mary Anne, the wjfe of Mr. Pomilett, boot anti shoe marnitacturer; of Wel thamstow, Essex; who II far atlfanced in & Hate of pregnancy; Mrs. Pomflete sestr4l that JIM two hours' before she went into the shop of Mr. Medhurst, to look at some goods, and not meeting n•ith the paten') she wattle I. the prisoner' urged ber much to purchase a few yards off a piece that was lying on the counter. She declined, but he persisted, and, after he measured the quantity, she cautioned him not to cut the article as it did not acssrer her. He, however, cut it, and when she refused to pay for it, he came round the ronet•r, violently seized her by the body, dragged her to the done, and threw her with great force on her bark into the street. 'f he prisoner strongly denied having ever lifted his hand to her: on the contrary, she struck at him after she ordered the goods to be rut off, sad refused to pay for them, when he Only went to put her gently out. He could prow, his innocence. by three different persons. He was then held to bail f.tr the assmit. WINTER CllLtii f. CHELMs FORD ASSIZE. (Before Mr. Justice Pettit —*rifest:me.) • •Their Lordships proceeded to the County Hatt at 10 o'clock this morning. JOilph Bilord, aged 24, who was convicted of house , breaki tg et the last•aasiz -s, hat upon Willollll Cat* a point ' of lew bed arisen, was placed at the bar. Mr. Justice PA HlL—Pcisnuer, you were tried last Assize for a capital offence, and the Jory very properly returned verdictof Cuiltys but I understand from my learned Brother who presided on that occasion. and whose humane ett , ntion to cases of yoor description' is notorious, that he conceived it necessary to reserve 4 point of law in your favour, for the opinion of the twelve Judges: that point having been accordinely submitted to them during the last term, they were all of opinion that yen hal been most prop-rly convicted. It ansy be unnecessary to explain to yon the particulars of the reserved point of law ; but for the informatioo of gentlemen at the: table, I hare to state that it was upon the apt-stint), whether in aiding and assisting in a robbery from a dwelling-house in the day- time, no person beiug therein at the time, and he so offending not being within the house, can be convicted capitally—the constant course has usually been to convict under these circumstances, sod, no doubt, properly; fur elthongh the statute, which makes the stealing In a dwelling-house. when the person 54 stealing Is wltuin the house, a clergyble otf-r.cr, aloes not afford the same bene fit to a person aiding ca I assisting in the felony without the house, a statute of William and Mary has provided for it as a clergyble offence: your conviction, prisoner, was t herelore most proper: but as there has been some doubt on the subject, and you have probably enter tained hopes of mercy' from the delay which has neces sarily taken place, the sentence of death will be recorded agsinst you, and therefore will not be carried into full effect.. Sentence of Death was then recorded against the psi- 11 son-r, who was removed from the bar. • William Thacker, 23, and John Turner, 24, were brought by Habeas Corpus from Newgate, charged on the oaths of John (lollop and others, with having bur giariously entered the d.selling•house of Henry Courtnay, at Walthamstow, and stolen therein five hats and other articl•s of clothing, the property of the said John Gallop. Goilty.—Seven years transportation. John Shake was tried for sealing a raw horse-hide at Thorp-, the property of Elizabeth Rolfe. Guilly.-.Twelye months' imprisonmnst And hard labour. George Martin, aged 19, was charged with privately stealing from the person of Paul Williams, at Barking, one half-crowc, a pooch and comb, his property. The 'robbery was committed in the tap room of a puhlic•house at 4 o'clock in the morning of a fair day, an 1 the only singular fact was sworn to, was that the prisoner went immediately to a stranger that was in the room, and told him ofillis having effected the robbt-ry. This person tell prisoner that Williams was his cousin, and he would not suffer bits to be robbed. Mr. MIREHOUSS was Counsel f.,r the prisoner, and one of the witnesses being a raw eonntrymsn, some difficulty arose in their understanding the language of each other. Mr. Justice PARK observed that neither appeared to nn lerstsnd the liirgo of the other, and his Lordship then took some pains to effect a mutual understanding between the learned Counsel and the witness under cross.exami• nation. Goiliy.—Seven years transportation. John Stanley, aged 17, and William Staines, teed 25. were indicted for stealing. seven pecks of pease, the pro. perty of Sarah Smith, widow, at Debden. . . dic9uitted —through the non-attendance of the commit dog magistrate's clerk, to prove the circumstances tinder which the prisoners had made a confession, on which they were tried. His Logi:mitt , observed upon the absence of the msg,is trate's clerk, and expressed a wish that no such circuits. stance might again impede the administration of justice. Edward Barges. aged 30, was indicted fur stealing in the parish of S o uth Weald, on the 7th of July, a veriety of jewelery, the property of Doctor Richardson, of Brent wood. Mr. Baonaarcx, as Counsel for the prosecntion, had no doubt of this being a very short, as he was sure it wonld be a very clear .case against the prisoner at the bar. The prosecutor was a medical gentleman, residing at Brentwood, and there having been a fire at his house it heroine necessary to employ a nninber of workmen, among . whom was the prisoner. The ►earned Counsel proceeded to anticipate the evidence which WAR as follows ; Lawrence Thoraas Johnson Richardson, resides at Brentwood—employed several workmen in his house on the 25th July—saw the prisoner, who is a plumber, there— left several valuable articles in his bed-room on that morning, which he afterwards missed —among theat a gold watch chain and six seals. Cross examined by Mr. MtnEnouse for the prisoner —The property stolen was lying openly in the room—there were several other workmen in the house. Ann Saville was a servant in the p;secutor's honer on the 25th July—prisoner was working there as a plumber —he freqlently went down stairs to heat his irons, and returned up stairs to his work—left a siiver watch and case in her bed room that morning, which she afterwards missed. Cross examined by Mr. Minnnouse—The watch was by the bedside-A—any of the other labourers might have gone into the room—none of the doors were locked or fas tened. James Hall keeps a public house at Brentwood—knows the prisoner—on the 26th July he applied to wi;ness to lend him las. on a silver watch until night —he refaced— prisoner went away, and afterwards canto back to have same drink—he left in the evening by the " Day," Nor wich coach fur London.

Ry the Conatr—sPrisoner win dressed as a lahourinar men in a ilannel jacket—hu seen many working men', wives dress as well as thou of gentlemen; particularly at Rootlet& were the women were very dressy. His Isanente —I think it was ettremely improper is ynn, Sir, to take two gold watches sad stub other vela. able property as is now produced, of a common workine man ; it it quite impossible you should have taken thews thiugs in pledge of the prisoner withont a suspi . eion of the manner its which they had got into Lis possession. ID is by tendon such all that you have persuei, that thieves( are prompted to commit felonies, as they find the facilitp of disposing of the stolen property so great. Your coo.: duct was moat Improper, as it ts not at all probable that inch a mesas th? prisoner could have come honestly I r , no, von* Pirelli'. Edward Clark was a fellow labourer with peistoter the 2Gth July, at the house of th.. prosecutor—mined OW pr'soner from his work when he ouch, to have been there, and when the robbery w:/i di*e..t.ere.l--tvert In feanh of Id ol with the: co...cattle—found hint at the loner eat or the town of Ron:ford, rrosssexamined —lle did not otter any resistarice. William Adams is a constable of Roinford—accotto• panied last witness in search of prisoner —when he nook him into custody found on his bog-r a goid ring (prod ductal and sworn to by the proftecutor, with the teat of the property which had bee* pro Weed by the vast broker.) Ann Saville recalled —.l.lentifi-d a silver watch and cox* as her property . 7 .had had it for 17 years. His LORDSHIP ordered the pawnbroker again into the box. Prisoner purchased of him stockings, stmt.., coat. and waists at; he put them on in the shop, which, altisocxft, not a dressing room, was often so usel. Prisoner put in a written defence, arguing g against the probability of his wife hiving such valnithl r. property, and seeming to infer that the pawnbroker mess mistaken in the person pledging. It also stated that times pawnbroker was a receiver of stolen goods. His LORDSHIP, in surnatinc up, observed, t!vit„ ill in theft prisooes's statement was written, he thought many of thee ailments therein ured, anal he hid lx:te doubt that if the pawnbroker had now stood at the bar a s the receiver of stolen goods, the evidence this dmy given would bare , sent him across the seas for the Pe r io I o f f ourteen years . lie allowed the prisoner to change his dress and appear'? once in his shop, and it was scarcely pocible but he mlsr have suspected the prisoner to hare come by the property dishnn-stly. His Lordship hoped the pawnbroker would. not leave time rcnrt •• Laying the fie terin g onef.nu to his sonl." thst he had satisfactorily explained the manner in wh'clt. he hid acted. He was hoaml by hie oath to strte the i,..f -pressions which evidence given berare him made upon. him ; and he therefore ITCA justified, indeed estletl upoa tee say, that it Wss to be regretted that the prisoner steo.l alone at' the bor.
