ROBBERY An elderly woman, of the name of ANlugh, and a young woman, her lodger, were charged be fore the Lonn MAYOR with having robbed an American Captain of his purse, containing Ameri can rider coins, eagles, halt eagles. and bank notes. to the amount of nearly forty guineas. The Captain stated, that lie had arrived in town last night, by the Plymouth mail-coach, and supped with some friends. Being a stranger in town, he was at a loss to find out his way to the Royal Ex change, wishing to procure a lodging in the City. He gave a trifle to a watchman, for direaing him into the proper course; but, on proceeding as di reeled, he was accosted by the youngest of the Pri soners, who took him by the arm in the most friendly manner; and, learning that he was in search of a lodging, invited him home to her apart ment, where she said she could accommodate him during the night. After considerable entreaties, he was prevailed upon to comply with her request and kind iovitation. She accordingly concluded him to her home, which was in Still-lane ; where, upon their arrival, she found that her bed was previously engaged ; and was about to conduit this stranger to some other mole commodious lodging-house, when her landlady, the other Prisoner, with great conde scension, consented to quit her own bed , to accom modate her friend and her guest. The gentleman accordingly went to bed, and his inamorata soon followed. He being much fatigued with the exer cise of travelling, during the day, very soon after. wards fell asleep. About halt-past three in the morning, he was awakened by what he conceived at first to be some tender attention of this frail fair one about his bosom. Hearing her going out of the room, however, he became alarmed, and, teeclietling that he had left his locket or miniature-pianre, set with diamonds, in his shirt, but missing it, it occurred to him that some foul play had beets going forward during his sleep, or was intended to be put in practice. He jumped out of bed, and searched his pockets for his purse, which he also missed. He, of course, called for a candle, and alarmed the house. He discovered his locket pinned in the cortain of the bed. and was agreeably surpised to find that his gold watch and its appur tenances had ,eluded the curiosity of the depredator, by us still being in tin 14 of his imerperankke.— He immediately called the watchman, who, after some considerable search, apprehended the young woman, as well as the lady of the mansion. on whom was merely found the purple silken passe. the treasure being all goose. Notwith standing this strong 'evidence, both of the parties fisksisted in denying the iolabery ; but his Lordship saw Raciest reason to commit them into custody, and to bind over the Captain to prosecute. This. however, the gentleman seemed rather disposed to &Ohne, on account of the inconvenience it must necessarily occasion to him, be being about to depart drum this country. GULL OCT. 5. ASSAULT. Anima, Duggan, an ltistussaa, was charged with having violearly assaulted, and desperately wounded his ware Sarah, one of his own countrywomen The Constable of the night stated, that he had been called upon at the watch-house. on Sunday evening last, by several people, who told him that a woman was desperately wounded. in Huggin-lane, and that he must come immediately, as it was not eapeited she could long survive. He went, Accord ingly. with proper assistants, to investigate this bust- MU, in the house which was pointed out to him.— Mfehere found a woman lying upon the floor, ap parently severely wounded on the back of her head, And perceived much blood spilt. Flom suspicions being thrown out against hes husband, this watch man i s Seat care was to take him into custody, and then to convey the woman to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, in a coach. When there, her wounds were dressed, and the Surgeon pronounced them so dangerous, that the result was very uncertain. It was found, however, this mining, upon the Surgeon attending to dress the wounds of his patient, that the woman had thought prepes to make her escape, unknown to any of her attendants. She was, however, apprehended ; and, upon her being called upon to state her case, she said, to the astonishment of the Magistrate (Alderman Dose vie es) and all present, " there is nothing the matter with me of all, at eli, please your Worship ; my husband and I had a few words last night, but I did not think there was any occasioa for my being sent to the hospital." She further stated, Abet her husband was a hard-working man. and had been twenty years in his last place, and that he was ho nest, harmless, and poor. On being interrogated as to how she came to be wounded ? she said she sup posed she had fallen against a door. The husband being called upon to give his account of this matter, stated in corroboration of the circumstance before mentioned, that be did not know of any thing having happened at all, at all; that be had had a few words with his wife, ►ut that they were in their usual frond!" way. He believed he was very tipsey ; and when he awoke this morning, he was surprised to find himself situated in the Poultry-Compter. His master, a wine -merchant, near the Three Cranes, in Watling.sueet, gave the man an excellent charaiter for honesty and good condutf.—From all these cir cumstances, the worthy Magistrate thought it his duty to discharge the "riaoaer. pours RATES. A poor shoemaker was summoned by the Parish Officers of St. Bartholintew, to answer his default, in payment of the Poor's Rates, for three quarters, due by him. The unfortunate man, in demur of the i payment, stated, that the only reason why he was a j defaulter, was, his excessive poverty above a year past, that his wife was seized with a rheumatic fever, j and bat for medical aid he bad sold every valuable 1 article of fin naure and clothes that he could by 1 any possibility part with. He had paid a Dago'', Lill to the amount at 401. and from his extreme want and anxiety, had contralted the jaundice.— His poverty had obliged him to quit the house he had formerly resided ia, and having now no other means than his wages as a journeyman shoemaker. it was impossible for him to answer this claim of the Pari.h Officers. r The Maoist. a ATI humanely interposed his ad , vice, and c,ffeted every argument to the officers .to excite thew commiserator; tor the man. They, -- .r a Mr. Prendergast, ob. hover, uin w a e telyre a si n s d ted Pi t r h t e ictitariT recommendation and interfel ence of the Magistrate, and contended that the De fendant was as able to pay the money claimed of him. as any of the other parishioners, his neigh bours. They agreed, however, to forego a quer ter's rates, but persisted in their demand as to those of the half year. The worthy Alderman regretted his inability to interfere further for this pony man's relief, but allowed him four months to pay the sum note claimed, and the matter was thus dispose.l of. ELECTIoN OF AM ALDERALIN FOR Tllli WARD OF CORDWAINERS. Yesterday, at one o'clock. the Lori Mayo: proceeded in state to Bow Church. wkere the inha bit.tnts of t"e Ward of Cordwainers had assembled, for the purpose of eleting an Alderman (or that Ward, in the room of the late Sir Brook Watson, Bart. Christopher Smith, Esq. wine-merchant, one of the present Sheriffs, was nominated by a Mr. TIMSIBLEp who made a short, but appropriate speech upon the occasion, expressive of his regret at the demise of their late worthy representative.— This motion being duly seconded, was unanimously carried. Mr. SMITH then addressed the Gentlemen pre sent, regretting his inability to thifil the duties of that respeaable situation, to which they had been pleased to eled him, at least, in such a manner as would, in any degree, compensate for the loss they had 'lately sustained. No endeavours, however, mould be wanting on his part, to fulfil the duties of his office to the utmost of his power. Mr. Wareing, a Gentleman who had been soli. cited to stand a Candidate, expressed, at some length, his reasons for declining to do so; which was, his learning that the great majority of the Livery men of the Ward of Cordwainen was in favour of the Gentleman they had now eleaed. The Thanks of the Meeting were given to the Loan MAYOI, for the ponduality of his attendance. - - COURT MARTIAL. On the 24 instant a Court Martial was held on board the Salvador del Mend., is Hamoaze, Ply mouth, on charges exhibited by Captain Dilkes, of His Majesty's ship Hazard, against Pligant Berry, First Lieutenant of the said ship, for a breach of the 24 and 29th ankles; the former respeeing un cleanness, and the latter the horrid and abouuuable crime which delicacy forbids us to name. Thomas Gibbs, a boy belonging to the ship, proved the offence, as charged to have been com mitted on the 234 August, 1107. Several other witnesses were called in corroboration; among whom was Elizabeth Bowden, the little female, who has been on board the N.sa►d these Y months, and of whom we gave an account in this Paper several months ago. Curiosity had prompted her to look through the key-bole of the cabin-door, and it was thus Me became possessed of the evidence which s:ie gave. She appeared iu Court dressed in a long Jacket, and blue Trowsers. The evidence being heard in support of the charges. but the Prisoner not being prepared to enter upon his defence. begged time, which the Court rea dily granted. until 10 o'clock on Saturday, at which hour the Court assembled again, and having heard what the Prisoner had to offer in his defence. and having maturely and deliberately weighed and con sidered the same, the Court were of opinion, that the charges had been telly proved. and did adjudge the ►aid William Ben y to be hanged at the yard arm of such one of Hi. Majesty's ships, and at such time as the flight Honourable the Commissioner of the Admiralty shall diced. Sir J. T. Duckworth was the President. The unfortunate Prisoner is above six feet high. remarkably well made, and as Cut and handsome a man as in the British navy. He was to have been married on his morn to port. 4.11 k RICA. NSW TOME, AUG. 80. TRIAL OF COLONEL BURR. Accounts from Richmond, to the 14th, state that several days have been consumed in challenging jurors; of the whole venter of 48, only four were elected ; the rest having been declared unqualified, for having previously expressed opinions unfavour able to Colonel Burr. As a specimen of the decla rations made by the jurors, we shall Weft the fol lowing, as tending to show the state of public opi nion on this sobjett. David Creel had formed an opinion from the statements in the Newspapers, and if these were true, the prisoner was certainly guilty. He had expressed a belief that he was guilty of the charges now brought against him, and that he ought to be hung. Set aside. Mr. Hamilton Morrison, one of the suspended jurymen, being called up, obsetted to the Court, that he should with pain serve on the jury ; for the Defendant had so many imaginary thoughts against bin), as to make that service disagreeable. 11e had nut meddled with the prisoner's transactions; but should have done so it it had been profitable to him. Mr. Burr.—Have not the rumours excited a preju dice against me in your mind? A. I have no pre judice for or against you. Mr. Botts. Are you a freeholder? A. I have two patents for land. Q. Are you worth 300 dollars? A. Yes ; I have a horse hare that is worth the ball of it. Q. Have you another at home to make up the other half of it ? A. Yes ; four of them. lam not astonished at their wishing to set me aside. Perhaps my christian name is a sutficient terror. Mr. Burr.-1 think that remark is a sufficient cause for objecting to him. I theretore challenge you. This was the first peremptory challenge which the prisoner had made out cf the 35 to which he is eutitled ; and Mr. Morrison was of course set aside. John Horace Upshaw declared, that be did net conceive himself to stand there as an unprejudiced juryman ; that he had formed opinions 'lustily to the prisoner, if opinions they can be called, winds are formed hunt mere newspaper testimony.—Mr. Burr. We challenge Mr. Upshaw for cause. After a long discussion on the eligibility of Mr. Upshaw, the (-oust afterwards awarded a Emirs for forty-eight more jurymen. The trial, it is thought, will not be entered into before the I:thlis 0. I. NAVAL INTNELIGENCE. --um-- POATSMOIPTU, Arrived the Malta, Williams, from Mom last from Guernsey.
