It appeared, that on the Sd of Au gust last, while the prosecutor and his f.imily were absent from home, at their work, the prisoners, be tween seven and eight o'clock in the evening, broke through a window, which had been stopped up, arid took away the articles stated in the indictment. On passing through the garden of the prosecutor, they were perceived by one Mr. Greenshaw ; who, knowing the family were from home, pursued them: one of them' appeared to have a bundle, which he endeavoured to conceal. While in the pursuit, the witness was joined by Wm. Harping, a servant be longing to the I)uke of Kent, and some other per sons. One of the prisoners (Lacy) concealed him self in a hedge, while the other two got into the Duke of Kent's gardens, and were there appre hended. During the playsuit they had dropped the bundle anti other ari icles. William Churchill deposed that he met the pti sone? s crossing a reap field; he asked them how Burdett got tin? and they answered, he was t h irty a•hiad. Immediately after he saw the other wit nesses in pitratit of them, and he joined. • The articles, consisting of a child's shirt, a shift, apron, snuff-box, &c. were then identified by the Prosecutor's ; hut not being sworn to be of the value of five shillings, so as to sake it a capital crime, the Jury ;uund all the Prisoners gieilly of stealing to ihr odor ef4s. 6d.

It appeared that the prosecutor was a diaper, in Chiswell-street, aud while lie WAS counting out the notes in question, for payment at a hid. he observed the Prisoner watking backwards and tore-ads, with a pipe in his mouth, life a porter. Soon after, he came into the shop, and asked to see some waist coating ; and while the prosecutor went round the counter to spew him the goods, the Prisoner caught at the notes, which lay under the Banker's on the counter, and ran away with them. The prose. tutor was so much alarmed, he could not cry out. However, when he recovered his fright t little, he applied to the Police Office; and the officers, sus reaing the thief, traced the Defendant to hislodg tigs, where they found hint intoxicated, and took loom his re -son 501. of die notes in question.

Upon being questio-red by East as to how he came by the horse ?he at first said he had bought him from one Franklin, in Wiltshire; but, upon being further questioned, he turned round, and said hi had found him on Hourr.low Heath—upon which East had bim apprehended. He was capitally convicted. Q U.IRTER SESSIONS. HICKS•s HALL, CLERKENSVFLL. Yesterday the Court was engaged in the dis charge of the debtors in Newgate. under the late Insolvent Aft. There were 45 in the whole, and they were all discharged except three. The first of these was remanded in consequence of a question arising, whether the Court bad the power, under all the circumstances, of discharging him ? His name is Mitford I he was confined in Newgate on or before the 14 Jay of January, the day prescribed by the Ad of Parlia ment, to enable him to conic within the meaning of the AA.

The question before the Court was, whether be had ever been out of custody or not ? Mr. Kirby. on being called upon, said, it cer tainly was impossible for him to swear the prisoner had been in his custody ever since the fitst sit da- Hilary, as he was discharged on the 7th of June, and might have gone out of the prison, if he had The prisoner allowed that lie might have gone out—and said, he remained in to avoid heiiig ar rested by other creditors; die debt for which he wits %tined being only 101.

It appeared, that the Pri soner had been gardener we the Hon. Thomas Erskine, at Hampstead, and a very respelable fe male servant in the neighbourhood was about to Ire married, mtuli to her advantage; but, in conse quence of the reports which the Prisoner raistd aTainst her, in public company, the match was broke off, for which he was now very justly gniT r. inq ini psi ,onment, not being able to pay !lie damages.
