OLD BAILEY. Ja l l V-Arf it John Robertson, • feahimnblo•lonking men, dressed in black, was indicted for stealing, on She 4th June last, a mare value 401. the property of James Richards. James Richards deposed as follows live at No. 265, Oxford-street, and am a stable-keeper. On the 4th June last I lost a chesnut mare, value 401. from my stable. The Prisoner at the bar came to me in the middle of that day, he had been previously there to hire a horse; I hired the mare to him for one day, to go to Stanmore, and he was to pay 12s. ; I never saw her since, nor did the Pri soner ever give any account of her. I went to Stan mote on the following day, and called at the Aber corn Arm., where he said he meant to go, but ob tained no information of him there. In July 1 saw him at Reading, and challenged him with the act— he denied having committed it, said his name was Henley, and that it was a mistake, as he was not in the habit of hiring horses. The landlord also said I must be deceived. as he {mew him to be a com mercial traveller, who often visited his hon.,. Pri soner then gave me an address of the house for which he said he travelled, as follows :—' Mr. Hart ley, of Messrs. Notts, vinegar.honse, Borough.' In consequence of this, and the landlorit's reser. tion. I did not then proceed further. On inquiry in the Borough, at Messrs. Potts', the vinegar mer chants (the only house like the name there), they knew nothing about him. The next time I saw him was on the 4th of this month, in Quebec-street, Mary-le-bone—he was then walking and I took hives into custody, after telling him the cause of my taking that step. He said he was nut the person I had seen at Reading. and that his name was Jul* Robertson,' and he lived at Bloomfield Cottage, near the Regent's Canal. I have not the least doubt of the identity of the Prisoner. and of Ins being the max who took the mare, and whom 1 saw at Readiag. My man will also proVe that he took the mare, though ■t first he had his doubts. brought him with my man to Bloomfield Cottage. which was near the Junction, not the Regent's Canal. He then took me into a house in King street. Edgeware.road ; the name of Bedeway was nn the door ; we saw a woman, who was Mrs. Budenay, and I gave him in charge to a constable. When he hired the mare he gave the name of Vin cent, 42, Berkeley-street Upper." Cross.e.ramined by Mr. ALLEY. — " I found him living at Bloomfield Cottage, where he said he resided." It was on the 24th of July that witness saw the Prisoner, at Reading. When witness saw Prisoner at Reading, he was not sure that he was the persists who hired his home ; he is sure of his person now; be is sure of it, Isom circumstances, and from fusilier intercourse with him. The person who hired witness's mare did not wear powder ; the dress .1 the Prisoner, at Reading, and at London, when he hired the mare, was as near as possilale. The landlord from Reading is not in Court. In answer to the Court—Hone is the name of the landlord at Reading. George Hartley is ii - servant of Mr. Richard., vas po on the 4th of June. Sonic person applied to witness for a horse on that day. What the man asked for was a horse that would suit him, on which witrobss called the ostler to him.. Witness would know the man who so applied for the horse. The l'risoner at the bar is the man, of that witness is positive. Witness saw him in his master's yard the day he was taken up; he saw him accidentally, and knew him instantly. Cross-examined by Mr. A LLET.—When the Prisoner was brought into the yard, on the 4th of January, witness dial not say he knew him. • ‘Vit urn kept on about his work, and did not interfere in the matter. Witness attended at Marlborough street. Witness cannot ny how the man was dress ed ;he had a pair of shabby boots an. Witness does not know whether he wore powder or not. In answer to the Court.—Witness does not recol lect the colour of his clothes, but only his boots.— laagA.)—He wore emirs. Alexander Patrick. ostler to Mr. Richards, wus in the yard when his mare wi.s take.* away ; line's swears, to the best of his belief, that the malt who took the mare was the Prisoner at the bar, but witness cannot speak with certainty. The mail told witness that he would return about eight nr !line in the evening; witness saw him on the saddle ; witness heard him say that he was going to Sta !!!!! ore. On the 4th of January witness saw ham sod his master standing in the yard ; witness, ld souse time before that, saw • man in Ooed.street whom he believed to be the Prisoner; he followed him for about half a mile, but on his own reopon. Pibulity did not wish to take him into custody. On the 4th of January, witness told his master that he could nut say positively that the Prisoner was the than who took sway the horse ; witness met the man in Oxford-street in the month of August. &surnamed by Mr. ADOLPINI.--Mitatile had snare conversation with the person who took sway the horse. On the 4th of June, witness went with the man who hired the horse to the farrier's ; he re• tit tined there about ten minutes or a quarter of an hour; when the person mounted the horse, witness lout an opportunity of looking at him; he wore a light mixture cent, kerseymere breeches, and shabby top-boots and spurs ; he had no wig, and wore no powder, but wore his own black hair ; he had a full display of • hiskers, brushed out very much. On the 4th of January. after a conversation be. toren Mr. Richards and the Prisoner, witness went to the house of the Prisoner. The Prisoner said, it you are not satisfied that I am not the man you suspected, and if you want further information, you ess, go to Mr. Mitchel, pest door, my landlord. %riffless went there. The Prsoooer soon after come out to the corner of the cottage, when Mr. Richards ei)il the constable came op. They went, at Pri proier's inrnance, to the house of Mrs. Rodensy. in KIN; street, in whose house the Poisoner had last I. vrel, who gave a good account of him.

Witness believes he ea* the person once before, for whom he sold the mire is March; he saw him as he can judge. about twelve ruontlis before; he sold the snare to a publican for 101. the publican's name was Shelly. The mare waa afterwards claimed by one Jenkins, which caused the examinatiou before the Mayor. Witness. on that occasion, told tht Meyer he believed be sold a horse for the same person two Years before. Wit ness does not believe he told the Mayor that he saw the person frequently ; lie believes he told the Mayor that he saw him trice, and that he slept at the house a. • traveller. When Witness saw the Prisoner in Marsh. he was dressed in a broon cost. top-hoots, and light kerseymere breeches ; his own hair. without powder, and full Whiskers. The evidence for the prosecution having been closed— The COMMON SERJEAAI addressed the Prisoner. He said that his Counsel were nut at liberty to ad. dress the Jury, hut thst lie might do so himself if he hail .0 ohserwstions to make, on which the Pri- Soner hande' ill a written statement, which he re quested might be read. It wai accordingly read by the Clerk. After some prefatory observations, tlif paper went on to state that the Prisoner was the son of a respectable-gentlemen residiwg iii the %Vero ludic.; that et an early age he wan sent front his native country to Scotland, to be educated its that coon. try : and after his education was completed, he was put into a respectable compting-house—the house of Messrs. Rutherford and Co. of London, who were relations of his father; lie retnaineil in that house diFtharging his duties and sustaining a good diameter for five years, when he left it for a situ.. Lion in the Bank of England, in which situation he continued for five years ; when lie left the Bank in 1815, he received a sum of money from his father for the purpose of setting up in business; he en tered into partnership with a respectable Gentle.' man, hut finding the business not nuwenng their expectations, in two years after the partnership was dissolved by mutual consent. He afterwards en tered into business himself, but still not succeeding according to his wishes, he determined to retire into private life—he accordingly took lodgings at the house of Mrs, Dodson, of No. 34, King -street, Bryanston-square, where he resided from the month of November, 1818, to August, 1819 ; from that lodgings lie went to reside in a small cottage near the Regent's Canal, at Parldingtoo, which he took from a Mr.• Mitchell, who occupied the next house; he met the Prosecutor, Mr. Richards, early in January, who addressed him. saying he met with him at Reading fair. The Prisoner, in reply, said that the Prosecutor must be in error. [Here the atatement went on to describe the cir cumstances of Prisoner being arrested and taken to Marlborough-street office.j Witnessed of respectabiliry would be produced, as well to his character as to some material facts of the case. The Jury were to decide whether lie should still preserve that character which, mail the present prosecution, calumny had newer stain ed, or consign him to infamy. He had never any dealing in horses; lie never was on horse back since he left his native country ; when in the counting-house of Messrs. Rutherford and Co. he got his head shaved, he not having hair, in fact, but wool ; ever since he wore a wig, which he kept constantly powdered until the last two months. 'fhe address concluded by a strong and solemn appeal to heaven that he (the Prisoner) was entirely innocent of the charge brought against him. The first witness for the Prisoner was Margaret Anne Boderisy, crammed by /Jr. At.- LEY. —Lives in Kiug-street, Bryanstone-squart. The Prisoner and his wife lodged with her. They came t• lodge with her on the -24 of November, 1818, and continued with ber till the 7th of August, 1 819. During all that time witness is confident he never slept a single night nut of her house. of course he never was absent for a sufficient time to go to Heading. He was a man of extremely rep). tar habits, and lived with more than ordinery eco nomy. Witness never heard him talk of horses, or knew he had any concern with horses. Witness recollects the 4th of June bast. Prisoner came that morning to Pee witness's daughter, who was ill. He told witness on that morning that he wanted to go to Clipstone-street about a bill. lie always wore a wig with powder; lit was always in the habit of coming to see witness's daughter. It was impossi• ble for him to have been at Reading either on the 4th of June or on the 44th of July, for witness saw him on each of those days. She knew the Prisoner for four years; he always bore an excellent charac ter as a gentleman. In answer to the COURT—Witness's husband is a messenger in the employment of Government; he is not iu Court. Witness's daughter is now deed. Mr. Stephens lodged in the .house of the last witness, where the Prisoner lodged. He lodged there from the Od of November to the 7th of An. gust. Witness was very intimate with the Prisoner, and spent several evenings with him. Witness can of his knowledge say, that during that time the Prisoner never slept out of his lodging • single night; he never was absent twenty-four, or even twelve, hours together . from.his lodgings. Witness can speak positively, and from his own personal knowledge, save of two nights, thenith and the SOth of May, when witness slept out of the lodg. ings. The Prisoner wore a wig with-powder; he wore it in March and June last. He knew the Prisoner for two years ; he bore the very best dia. racier. Witness is a carpenter and builder. Wit-. fleas saw him wear his wig without powder, within the last two months. Witness never saw the Pri soner on horseback, or speak of being on horseback. He never slew boots. or spurs with the Prisoner, save • pair of oil boots-which witness saw in his cottage, and which he told witesei.he lad far Ablative's :before.

Mr. Manning, jun. agrees with the testimony given by the Isis witness; who is his father. Mr. James Crooke is a member of the Com mon Council; knew the Privener fur the last seven or eight years; he bore the character of an honest man. Witness' always had the highest opinion of hint. Mr. A. W. Rutherford i• • merchant, Wit. nem knew the Prisoner since he came (ruin school, from Scotland, in 1806. He was in witness's Counting-house I he always bore the very best cha racter. Witness gave security for him to the ilink. He wore a wig and powder since he was in the &ink. Mr. Curtis is a banker ; knew witness first in 1815 ; lie lost sight of horn for the last two years ; I witness always considered him an honourable end 1 respectable man. He las at ibis momenta sm a ll sum of money in wittiees's hands, which he never called for. He wasintrnduced to witness's bank by a gentleman of respectability.

Mr. Batton, solicitor, lives et Hatton-garden, knows the Prisoner since 1815'; he drew up a pert. nership deed for the Prisoner; lie always consider ed him a men of the highest honour. Mr. issue. Batton, jun. agreed with the last wit ness in the account he gave of the Prisoner. Mr. ALLEY said lie had a number of other wit newts of the first respectsbikty to examine, but the Jury interrupted the Learned Gentleman, and declared they were satisfied with the evidence pro. duced. The Coulson SIMEIANT briefly recapitulated the evidence tio both sides, when the Jury instantly brought in a verdict of Not Guilty. Notwithstanding this verdict the Prisoner was again arraigned and prosecuted for stealing a horse, value 10/.. with a bridle and saddle, the property of Lydia Thompson. Lydia Thompson stated, than on the 3d of De. cember, the Prisoner came to her stable-yard, and took away a brown mare. De Paid be would re• turn before dark, but never did return ; witness did not see the Prisoner. until the 7th of this .mouth at the (Ace, Marlborough-street.

The innoceace of the Prisoner could not be doubter!. Mr. ALLEY said, he hoped he might be permit ted to mention that, though twenty persons had been defrauded, and though all of them cense op to Marlborough-street Office, and saw the Pri soner, yet none of them, save the present Prosecu tors, ...mild venture to ■weer that he was the person by whom they were so defrauded.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE, Last morning a most alarming and destructive fire broke out its the premises of Mr. Rer, hoot and shoemaker, the corner of Norfolk-street, in the • Strand. The flames *ere first perceived to issue from the lower part of the house between four and five o'clock. An instant alarm was 'wiped, and several engines soon arrived on the spot. The pro gress of the devouring elemeut was so rapid, that be fore half** hour had elapsed the entire building was in one,complete blade. Notwithstanding the eter ' tions of the firemen amid other assistants, owing to the late frost, they did lust succeed in procuring tress a acaoty supply of water. for a length of time, the plugs having been hoses). A little before six o'clock the wall of Mr. Ker's house came down with a tremendous crash w Aorfolk-rimed. The houses of Mews. Carey, map and chart-maim &ewer and matheumitical•iiivroment-makers, in the Strand, and those of Messrs. Moore anti James, apothecaries, in Nurfulk-street, h a d by this time caught fire. The two former are completely burned to the ground, mid the latter has suffered very severely in the upper stories, several rooms having been destroyed. About hall-pope ten o'clock the wall of Mg Carry's 'louse tell with a tremendous crash across Norfolk-street ; must fortunately without doing any further hid than covering several persons with water sod snow, who happened to be near the spot at the moment. The firemen with their engines were busily employed the whole of the mov ii i n g m play. Mg on the burning ruins, and to one o'clock the fire raged in them with great fury. Owing to a strong party-will between the house of Mr. Carey and ,that of Mr. Price, lice and hinge-mattufac. turer, the latter has escaped destruction. The utmost consternation prevailed in the neigh bourhood, business being quite at a stood between St. Clement's church laid and Surrey -street. the tradespeople on both sides not having opened their shops. The shutters of the houses immediately op itosite are severely injured sod scorched by the five. No lives have bees lust, nor has any personal injury been 'sustained. Mr. ICer is greatly to be pitied. Ilia property, we understand, was not insured, in consequence of an alteration required in the policy which he hod not since Christmas time to effect. The plumbers were at work in his shop until a late hour iu the evening. lit addition to hie own calamity, a family from the West Indies, who had occupied the lodgings in his house only for three or four days," have lost she whole of their personal property, which was ♦ery valuable, including diamonds, jewellery, &c. &c. About twelve o'clock yetterdoy there was also SD alarm of fire at the sumuufassory of Mr. Brookes, et the bottom of Fountain -court. iti-the Stroud, but the fire was subdued with very little.datusge. _ . • A letter from Galway, dated January JP, uly•—• w The Awe, Murree, trout .istrbice ,10 L. lo 4llswutsdes with IN tierces mot IMO bags of ewffews 1.4‘2 4 .1 wWwwige west we slows es Kileolgaa point ' iwobie bay, pert et' the eamo has bees lauded is a very daasaged state, sad glie.weatber essetiasses moderate, seedy the whop of it weaved.
