SINGULAR DEPRAVITY. Jolts Rinker, aged 1 1 _ was charged with stealing %watch from a Swelling house. He was seen coming oat of the house„ and the watch was found upon him. Mr. Baron GAuttow, addressing the Jury, said, they had before them a most melancholy spectacle. Mr. Cunningham, governor of the jail, begged his Lordship to look at the nest case entered in the Calendar. Mr. Baron Gattansr said he was mach obliged to the very respectable Gentleman for his suggestion.— It appeared that this child *as advised and directed by an unoutural brother. The Jury could have no doubt of the child's guilt, and conviction was.. incr. haps the greatest mercy they could. show to him.— Guilty. His Lordship then addreaveri himself to the child. Be WAS In I .runouece what was called a punishment, bat what he hoped would be a ht.-acing to him, *hat mould save him (rem tire last punishment, from the Istiharpy practices in which he was trained, above all ':frotti the svlai.eaucl example of a cruel and monstrous parent. By the institutions of his country the Court 'would hereme his parent, and take care that he should have instruction and correction. He might indeed, in little more than two years, see him again et that bar, hut he hoped better things. It was still possible fur film to become a good, honest, and use. tel man. Ilia sentence was, that he should be con• bud in the Penitentisrphouse for two years. SIIERP •TEALING. Joliet Gardner, toad 35, was convicted of stealing five 'tether tegs at I:A.llmi' Martin. There was nothing singular in the proof. The sheep were missed, end traced to a Mall who bneght them from the Pa. g lu m. lie au, .gain tried upon a second indictment for a dealer otiehce, and convicted. • The JODOE immediately pronounced sentence of death, and assured the Priwiter that no mitigation could take place, but that he should be left for ezecatione James Webb, who had been yectetday convicted upon two indictments, was afterwards brought up and thus addressed :—Yee have been convicted of two separate acts of sheepottealing. This kind of property is scattered in immense numbers over the country. It forms one of the maple commodities of the Island. From its nature it is esposed to depre. dationc, and the law must therefore 'sterol to it all possible protection. The severity with which sheep. steeling has been punished cannot be related until it . produce reform. Yen are now to receive sentence of death, and let me assure you that you can e t act ito such mitigation, as I am always happy to recoil-i -ntend where that can be done.—(Here the Prisoner cried for mercy, dropt on his knees, and applied his handkerchief to his ey es to stop his tears) No mercy can be emended to you. I advise you to pro. strafe yourself on your k Dees te the Great God whom you have offended, and to prepare for the fate that is inevitable. Juba .Mayo, aged 1 9, and Daniel Powell. aged 28. were cutivicttd of stealing in a dwelling-house, u n de r the v a lue of 40.. They were sentenced to trans. portatson for seven ye , trs. It appeared that Mayo had formerly been sen. tenced to death for a burglary, but had his sentence mitigated to a few months' imprisonment. He had afterwards been employed by Meddows, the hair dresser, who keeps the lodgings for the Judges in Gloucester, and had actually waited upon their Lord. ships. Mr. Baron G ARROW called Meddnws into the witness's boa, reprimanded him severely, and said, that it he had known of it, he should have directed the High Sheriff to find them other lodgings. His Lordship took occasion to mention daring the day, that on the Summer Circuit last year (which was the Oxford Circuit), he had had occasion t o pus sentence on 483 persons, and sentence of death on lid. The Grand Jury found true bills for perjury against 7'. Welles, D. D. (Otte of the Acting Magis trates of the county), and Blisabeth Welles, widow. John Trimmer, aged 22, was convicted of horse. steeling. Ilia Lordship, hefore pronencing sentence of death said, that he had reason Inkleliesis that the Prisoner had been employed by his master to commit the hlony. Servants were not obliged, and were not Mused, by such wicked comrpands. The sentence of death, however, should nothe mind into el,- - The utmost mitigation might he expected, if the mean time conducted himself properly, which very humane Gentleman who superintended the 'blr. Cunningham) would observe. ,amuel Chissold, aged 27, was convicted of steel.l screw boa, containing 211. from Maria Eddies,' if Wm. Eddies, who keeps the Dolphin public. in Stroud. It appeared that she had laid the In a table in a room where the Prisoner was log, and while she served other cestefters with .he Prisoner disappeared. His Lordship, in passing sentence of death, said, Ilse word as to mercy being Wended or . with. Wm. Chadwick, aged 19 ) was convicted of steal. ing front John Nash his pocket-hook, containing about ¶Ol. The Prisoner had been drinking with the -Prosecutor, followed him not, pretended to be walk• ing home with him, and rolling and staggering as if drunk, contrived to take his pocket-book from him. —Transportation for life. Mr. Baron GARISH'S/ had yesterday intimated, that I the °Stets attending the Goad Jury should have no second fees. 11 I r NISI.

Mr. Janus objected to this deed, that it was de present:, and therefor* not admissible as evidence without a lease-stamp. Mr. Justice HOLDOTD thought the objection good, bat regretted that it should be so. Mr. DAUDCIII( ventured, at a desperate hazard, to call the Defendant's brother; whom he- iccidenlally learnt to he,io Court, ioro the witnees'e..bez. This man actually proved the debt, and a verdict was ob tained for 71, C. WILLIAM% V. BELL. 0 1 • Mr. Dattlaty and Mr. CAS' risEu. requested that this case should he disposed of, although last in the list, as it was undefended. They opened it, and es. amined the first witness, when the Defendant, a draper in Chel4enham, came forward in person to defend. The action was for payment of a bill of **change. The Defendant acted with extraordinary propriety and presence of mind, and represented, ,that he was involved is Oat Motion by rachaoge of bilk and bankruptcies on the part of the Plaintiff's tbrother, arid that the Plaintiff could not legally hold the bill, as it had been in his brother's possession after the Commit Mon of Bankruptcy had been issued. His Lordship, who treated the Defendant with the utmost attention, patience, and indulgence, here stated the necessity of producing the Commission, and proving the act of bankruptcy, and the petition ing creditor, and as the Defendant was total!) on. prepared, suggested she propriety of desisting from unavailing' objections, and applying to a Court of Equity if soy fair case could be made out. Verdict fur the plaintiff—Damages 171.85. id. HOLDER 0. BLITLIIT. This was an action en trover, on the ground that seven sacks of the Plaintiff's, that contained his po tatoes, which had been distrained and sold, bad been illegally taken away. The sacks were estimated be tween la. 6 1 . and 24. each. Mr. PULLER, in addressing the Jury for the D e . fondant, said, that the attorney for the Plaintiff had, by miracle, got a verdict in the case of predeth and Davies. He could Dot raped a second miracle in one day. Verdict for the Plaintiff. —Damages 10s. 6(1. • Mr. DAUNCET congratulated the Jury on two mi racles having been perfoimed by them in one day. Mr. PuLLErt.—l hope your Lordship will destroy one of them by certifying that this action was fri oloos and vexatious. Mr. DAUNCEII.s-1 am very sure your Lordship will do no such thing. Miracles are not so easily got op in the present age, that they ought to be so put down. His Lordship made no reply. SAMUEL WINDLE, DEMANDANT, V. ELIZABETH BALD• WIN, TENANT. Poor Gentlemen were constituted Knights pro tempore, girded with swords, and solemnly sworn to choose 20 other men, from whom 12 are to be se. lected to form, together with the four Knights, the 16 of a Jury, to try the writ of right. This ancient trial seems to be returning into full use and practice, and precedents begin to thicken upon the Profession. Last year, at the Lancaster Assize., Mr. Scarlett and Mr. Serjeant Bullock seemed to hesitate somewhat as to the mode of pro. cedure in a writ of right, in which the celebrateti Mr. Roscoe was tenant. Now, not only that case, bet a late case in Berkshire, are referred to as precedents. Adjourned at ail, till eight to.morrow morning. PO LICE. GulLDUALt..—Themas Nash was yesterday again pot to the bar, charged with attempting to pass a forged 11. Bank of England note, to John Torrey, butcher, Fleet•market. John Lark, wholesale shee.maker, No. 25, John square, Clerkenwell, stated, that the Prisoner had worked with him for eight weeks as journeyman.— Ile could not say whether he had or had not at any time paid him in a 11. note. lie was in the habit of marking all the notes he received, with one 'seep of a Saturday night, whet, he had a great many people to pay. Ile often sent oat for change, and in the burry of business did not mark the notes he re ceived. The note produced had no mark of his upon it. It was, possible, however, that it might have been received in the manner he had mentioned. The Prisoner was a diligent workman, but he knew no. thing of his Moral character. The Solicitor for the Bank, under these circum stances, declined prosecuting, and the Prisoner was discharged. STAGE-COACH INFORMATIONS.
