The Sub-Committee, however. continued to see. although the voice of the majority of the proprietors was against them. The case was au important owe, in every vie". as there were so musty interests concerned : be might say. from the Crown testi' , peasant. The Crown had up interest, to see that dewiest was not abused ; the Legislature lied au iutegest, that their Lets should be properly car ried into effect ; and the public had an interest. fur they had a right to have the theatre open for their amusement; and it was not necessary fur him to. say that the performer, hod an interest. But his clients had the greatest of all. and it mould not be expected that they would allow their property to be wasted by bad management. It was certainly nee. pleosent to their feelings to bring the cute into Court--but they could not avoid it. as it had be ams s duty incumbent on them ; they therefore hod called on his Lordship to interfere, as a Judge, and prevent the concern from being totally ruined.

In the former the cause 14,4 pro duced thirty cases, of which live are Special Juries; aud in the latter the business is very great, cont .

Thomas A#o4 and William Mirth's! were in dicted for asmultiog J o hn Sharpe, on the 30th of Norris)her. in the pariah of St. Mary, Luintreth. with intent to kill and murder him. There was a 'mod count for a common 'smolt. It will be recollected, that these Defendants were indicted at the last Assizes for this county, before Mr. Baron Wood, under Lord Ellenborough% Act, for cutting and maiming the Prosecutor, with in tent to kill and murder, or do him some grievous bodily harm; but that on that occasion. the Jury having negatived the intention to kill and murder, the ease was reserved for Ilie opinion of the twelve Judges, who were unanimously of opinion, that the case. wider the circumstances, did not come within the statute upon which the indictmeot was founded. This decision operating in leo as an acquittal, the DePildatitis were 1100 indicted at commou law fur nit assault, with intent to kill and murder, as mat ter of aggravation, leaving out the charge of a ft. Winos intention. Mr. MATH conducted the prosecution. The Prosecutor stated, that lie was sexton of the parish of St. Mary, Lambeth, and was in the habit of employing the liefouslaida as watchmen to guns d the burying ground against the depredatioist of persons eugaged in the unpopular occupation of procuring subjects for tl.e hospitals. Suspectim; that the Defeudatits, under colour of their official employment. were themselves engaged in this oh. noxious traffic, hr determined to put an end to his doubts upon the subject, by trying Si. experiment. On the night of the day mentioned in the indict. 1131:11t. lie told them he could dispense with their services for that night ; and, in tact, desired them not to attend nt the burial ground. It appeared, that on that day five bodies had been buried in the churchyard. In she mems lime lie collected other :issirsauce, for the purpose of watching what sus` ht occur in the isight. The traps which were usually placed in the burial groutist erre yet, and the Pro. sectitor and Isis friends took their stations on the ground. During their walk, they braid the gate of the buriat-ground usilocked, and opened more titan once. A trap went off, us if removed by some person who knew of its being placed tlwre.

The depredator., however, cominroced a resistance; and, in the course of it, mode tomtitl deamrate blows at the Prodecistor with a cuthor. With much difficulty they were over powered and secured ; and tiirbe facts being snort clearly and satisbiciorily proved, the Jury, without hesitation. found them guilty of the assault. l'lwy pleaded, in mitigation of ptinislimeui, the long Imprisonment they had undergone; but Mr. Serjeasst LENS, after a abort but most jodi. addrrs N sentenced them to two years isupri. mimeot each in the county gaol. There we re tan other indictments, upon which no evidence was ',tiered. DOMESTIC TREACHERY. Peregrine CA; Onoie man of colour. apparently about twenty-four year• of age, was diarg.d on two indictments, with stealiog a large gosanisiy of linen, winr, a gold watch, and many other :uncles, the property of James Harris, Esq. in Ina dsvelling-house at Barnet, its this comity. It appeared from the opening of Mr. CoLLANID, the substaitce of which was afterwards proved in evidence, that the Prisoner had been brought from the setileineut of Tr • lid by a widow lady, with whotu his mother arid other relittimis lived as favour ed servants. Deing desirous of leaving her employ ment, she rreoinuiroded him in very favourable terms to thr proreentor. Soon after coining into Ins new service. ill health obliged Mr. Hurts to retire iron Stiff .Ik, and the Prisoner from that period com menced his deprrilaiiosis. These be had carried to a very great event, making Isis hate mistress a preseist of a gold watch, wine, and other thing% which he had purloined from his master. At length, to conceal his guilt, as he thought, in the most cf. factual manner, he wrote a letter to hit muster, stating very esrcuoustatitailly, thnt the house had been broken open in the night ; that he had been *lightly wounded ion conflict with the robbers, who, at length, had effected their escape, offer plun dering the house of a great many valuables. To give more effect to Ms deception, lie went, at the saute time that he wrote his letter, and laid an informa tion sit llow-creet.
