I know not how to explain myedf ; but I must die according to law, and leave you in a - land full of corruption. where justice and liberty have taken their Sight from, to other distant shorts. My dear, I have heard men remark that they would not zany a widow, not without her husband was hanged. Now my dear. I hope you will bear in mind that the cause of my being consigned to the scaffold was a pure motive. " 1 thought I should have rendered sly sterving fellow-men women and children, a service; and my wish is, when you make another choice, that this question you will put before you tie the knot. My dear, it is of no use for me to make remarks respect ing my children. lam convinced you will do your duty as far as lies in your power. My dear, your leaving me but a hew hours before I wrote these few lines. I have nothing more to say.— Farewell, farewell, my dear wife and children, for ever. Give my love to your mother and Elizabeth. I conclude a constant lover to you and your children. and all friends. I die the same, but an enemy to all tyrants. " JAMES INGS." " P. S.

OLD BAILEY, Friday, May 5. .... 751 DARING AND EXTENSIvE ROBBERY.—Francis Fre derick Pitt, William Prussia, 'Ftiomas Dodd, Jan es Simpson, and John Hewitt were indicted for stea'ing 130 yards of woollen cloth, the property of Joh n Thonias Dolor and his Copartners, and nine yards of cloth, the properly of John Arlington and James Smith. Michael Franklin was indicted for receiving the same, knowing it to hare been stolen. Mr. Andrews appeared fur the prosecution„ and Messrs. Alley, Adolphus, and Arabia for the prisoners. It appeared in evidence, that the prosecutors, Messrs. Dolan, are cloth dealers, in Gate Street, Lincoln's Inn. fields. About three o'clock on the mot Mug of Feb. 29, a watchman near the warehouse saw two or three mess harking near the place, arid also saw a coach with yel low patmels standing in Whetstone Park close by. He suspected and watched the motions of these men, who moved towards the prosecutor's warehouses.. but before he could reach them, they returned, and ran into Whet stone Park, and the coach drove off, lie examined the outer warehouse, aud found the dour had been forced open and several rolls of cloth lying in the passage as if dropped in consequence 01 some alarm. He sprung his rattle, and the coach was pursued. but without success. About a quarter past six o'clock the same morning the hackney coach, driven by the prisoner Hewitt, was seen by a buy going through Dorset Street, Spitalfields„ The coach stopped at the entrance of Little Paternoster-row, where the prisoner Franklin resided as a broker. Hewitt jumped down and held the coach door open while the four passengers alighted, and taking mire tolls of cloth from the coach, conveyed them into Franklin's house. The boy told what he had seen to Mr. Gregory, a neighbour, who sent a messeng er for some police officers, and went himself to Franklin's where he saw Pitt. Prussia, Dodd. Simpson, and Frankliufr sit ting together, and the cloth lying on the floor.— 'fhe moment they saw him, the (our first prisoners ran into a back yard. In a short time the officers arrived, and Pitt, Simpson, and Prussia were secured, after some resistance, and Dodd escaped over the wall, but was subsequently apprehended, after knocking down two persons who attempted to stop him. They were conveyed to the watch-house; .and on searching them, a tinder-box, some pick-luck keys, and center hits were found. On Simpson also was found a piece of list, which had evidently been cut from the cloth in question. Ott enquiry by the officers, the robbery at Messrs Dolan 's was ascertained, and Mr. John Dolan, on seeing the cloth, immediately identified it as that which had been stolen from the warehouse. Franklin was not taken into custody at the t i 11l c, but was ordered to Worshipstreet Office to give evidence, when the Magistrates thought proper to com:uit him as the cc eraser. lie said when. Alf. Gregory went into his house first, that he nad been knocked up by Pitt, who was the son of a former master of his. and that he had no knowledge that the goods were coming there, or front whence they were %nought. Nine witnesses of the most respectable description • gave Franklin a. good character. Persons were also called for the other prisoners.. The Jury found all the prisoners—Guilty, . The Common Serjeant, in passing sentence observed, . that this was one of the worst cases that had come un der his cognizance for a. great many years, and it was much to be lamented, for the sake of the public, that the indictment was not laid as it certainly ought to have been, for the capital offence of burglary. His Lordship then .sentenced Pitt, Prussia, Dodd, Hewitt, . and Sualpson, to seven years, and Franklin to fourteen years' transportation. 'Fbontas New was convicted of stealing a large clan. tity of liquorice root from the grounds of Mss Moore, of Mitcham, Surrey. The particulars of this case have been reported front the Police 011ize. The prisoner was sentenced to Seven . years transportation.
