The . sentence of the Court was, that he should be kept to herd labour in the House of Correction for six months, and be publicly whipped. John Bridgman, aged 16, was capitally indicted` l for strolling in the dwelling-house of Captain Dun. ran M'Leod. in Portman-street, Portman-square, on the 23d September instant, a gold watch, chain, and five seals, of the value of 61. the property of -Mrs. Spilt., the wife of Lewis Spit's, Esq. and • Mary Ramis, for receiving part of the property knowing it to have been stolen. It appeared from the evidence for the prosecution that the Prisoner Bridgman was an'opprentice to a bell-hanger, and had been employed to repair some bells on the lunding.place between the dining and drawing-rooms. He went about five o'clock, and re mained till past six o'clock, when he went away. Mrs. Sirius was on a visit st the house, and had le;ft her watch in the bed-rclotn.

On being questioned where the other seal and chain were, he confessed that he lied disposed of them to the other Prisoner, Mary Evans, to whose whop he directed *the officer. When the officer went there she was denied, but, on searching the house, he found her concealed on the leads. The Silt seal, and a da. plicate for the chain were found in the house. The vhsiu had been pledged with a pawnbroker for Q2s. From the evidence of the pawnbroker it ape peered that the female prisoner pledged the chain in we of Mrs. Evans, Homer -street, Padding tow, but no such person lived there. The property was produced, and identified by Mrs. Spot's. The Prisoner, Bridgman, made no defence. Mrs. Evans and, that she knew Bridgman from her husband working in the *hop where he was apprenticed. He came to her house one day and told her that he had found the chain, which, so he wonted motley, lie wished her to pledge for him. She did so accordingly, slid ptocured un it 241. and received 41. for her trouble. The Jury found both the Prisoners Gnifry. The Rscoxote then proceeded to pass the sen. tenet of the Court on the Prisoners. Mary Evans, in consideration of her family, to be imprisoned three months only in the House of Correction. and kept to bard labour. The Recorder then addressed Bridgman. and told him this was an offence which would affect his life : one circumstance in Isis fa vour was, that he went to the house for a lawful purpose, but at would be necessary to pass sentence of death on him, and he seriously exhorted him to repentance. as he might be assured he would noe escape without a ve►y punishment.

He then shewed the Jary the way his watch was secured by a chain, and that it was impossible it could be taken out of his pocket. He got the mo ney honestly with which he purchased the watch and seals he now wore ; he could not recollect pre cisely when he purchased them, bat it was nfter the transaction of the 15th of May. He and his mo ther earned from a/. to 51. a week ; he would not say they earned so much now, as it was a slack time of the year. Thomas Gook deposed that he had been a con stable for seven years; he was in Pall-mall on the evening his Majesty went to Drurrlane Theatre ; he followed the royal carriage to the theatre; he saw the Prisoner standing in the street near the entrance to the Qs. gallery ; from some information Connell gave him, he watched him ; he saw the lust witness Bullen there, he did not know him before, but from his observation of him that eight, knew that he would know him again; he saw the Prisoner standing three yards from Bullen, when the bunt pet sounded for his Majesty's departure from the theatre ; he saw the Prisoner go close to Bonen, put his hand round his waist, and make a slight pull at his watch chain he told Harrison lie would want his ambience, and when the car siege passed, the Prisoner wade a heavy pull at the watch chain of Bonen, on which he took him into custody, and told Bullet) to follow them ; when he brought the Prisoner to the Bunch of Grapes, public house, in Bow -street, he searched him, and found on him • five shilling piece, half a crown, and a key; he asked him why he put his arm round the Gentleman: he said he done it to keep himself from falling, as he wss so much pressed by the crowd. Shortly afterwards the Prisoner asked him for the half crown he had taken from him, on which the witness said that he had also taken a five shilling *cis from him, which he supposed he had stolen; on which the Prisoner said it was the first offence he had committed, end hoped he would forgive him ; he replied that was only in the power of the Magistrate; when lie took the Prisoner into cus tody, the watch was out of the Gentleman's pocket; it was u silver our; he saw it distinctly, and also the seal ; he had such a view of it that he would uudertake to say it was mounted with jeweller's gold. On taking the Prisoner to the vsatchhouse he offered him all the money tie had about him to let him go.
