AT one o'clock the Court of Admiralty; which 5 mod adjourned to this day, was further adjourned, to Thursday, the lull - instant, an account of -the business of the Common Sessions not being con_ chided. Jahn revtott, alias John. Davw, alias johlt Taw{, was indiEled for stealing a cloak,. of the Value of 161. r6s. the property of Sarah Pearce,. in a dwelling-house, which was a capital offence. The Prosecrutrix was called, hut did not appear, and, therefore, the Prisoner was pronounced Not He was then tried upon an Indiatnent for a Single Felony, for stealing a pair of gold ear-rings, and a gold pin, the property . of Sarah Heather, on the toth of August last. The Prosecutrix swore, that the Prisoner came home with her from the Play, at the Hay-market, to her lodgings in Clarges-street, and staid with her all night. In the morning he desired the ser vant of the Prosecutrix to follow him, which the Prosecutrix objeaed to. He then said that he would send her some money, and desired the servant to follow him to the Thatch'd House Tavern the Prosecutrix would not agree to that. . In • *bout a quaiter of an hour after he was gone, she / went to her dressing table, and found that her gold ear-rings and gold pin..were gone, together with a Shawl.nuf of her trunk : the Prisoner did not return, tor did she see any more of him until The 24th of September, when she was coming out of Covent_ "garden Theatre : she then laid hold of him, and charged him with robbing her. He was secured, and the following day taken to NI aiborough-street Police Office, and committed. By a Duplicate, which was found in theprisoner's lodgings, the ear-rins and pin were found at - a Pawn-broker's, where the Prisoner pawned them be t ween ten and twelve o'clock, on the z t t of August, for p. Both the Prosecutrix and the Pawn-broker swore they had not the least doubt of the identity of the Ps isoner. . . • '1 he Servant of the Prosecutrix swore also, that she saw hint at her Mistress's lodgings on the night of the .loth of August, and to his asking her to follow him to his lodgings, and then to the Thatch'd House Tavern, which her Mistress refused. The Prisoner, in his written Defence, which he handed up to the Court-, said, that the Prosecutrix gave him these articles ; but he called no witnesses. The COMMON SviilrAsir summed up - the case, and observed, that if the Jury believed the evidence, they would find the Prisoner guilty by their verdict. The Jury pronounced him Guilty. Thi COMMON SERI PANT said *to the Prisoner, you have had great g). d fortune, in not being tried on the first Indictment, which is for a capital of fence.—l shall not try him on the other India merits, alluding to others with which IA; stands charged, which are for pilfering a number Of articles from unfortunate women, with whom he had been in company. The case on which he is convicted, is a transport able offeliae. Edward Clarke was i-)tit to the Bar charged with stealing t broWO gelding, in Whiz:Jiapel, in.Sep temberlast. in this Case the Prbsecntor in proceeding to give his evidence, describzd the' Oiling he had lost to have been a bay, and 'in this he persisted. The 'Learned Judge then remarked to the Jury that there was a defect in the Indielment, staring Oat the gelding was brown, therefore the Prosecu tion could not proceed. Not John Connor and Michnel reathrg were indiaed 'for stealing a bundle from William Penn, on the 6th of Odober. .William Penn, a young lad, said, he was carry.. ing a bundle from Charlotte-street, Blootrisbury, to his father in the city, when he was hustled in Broad. street St. Giles's, and the bundle was snatched from him by a person whom he thought was Connor, but he could not be positive, neither could he say that Keating t. was concerned.. Mrs. enn described the contents of the bundle to be a shirt, a neck-handleerchief, and a white dish. Part of this property was produced by a Constable, who said he had found it in the custody of Connor. Mrs. Penn identified it. ,Karing being called on for his defence, said, he bought tl.e property from a labourer whom he had frequently seen. Connor Not Guilty. Keating yob,/ Will;ains and William Williams were tried for. stealing a trunk containing sundry artigdes of wearing apparel, the property of Hannah Wild, in the dwelling-house of -- Sayers. 1-I,nnah. Wild swore, that upon last Tuesday: fortnight she came from .Margate to London, and came up in a boat to the Swan public-house, near Westminster-bridge. She- stopped there in order to Iraoe her trunks in a place of safety, .Which she ,did, having entrusted them to the care of the land- She. returned to the house on the ensuing :iday, in order to carry one away. She came soon after to remove the other, when she red it as gone. She saw the trunk which carried : , t1 without her knowledge, and 01 its contents afterwards, at 'the Public Office. ands said that be was sent for it. The Witness gave. it to him. in pursuance of her mistress's order. A. Wa„tettman who Was acquainted with .the Pri soner John Williams; said, that.on the.zzd,of OCio ber, he called at the Witness',s room, and asked‘per mission to leave a bundle; His brother was below, and he came up, and they both treated the. Witness and his wife with half a pint of . rum. The btindle was accordingly. consigned to the Witness's care, and upon his wife's looking, at it she discovered that it consisted of several articles of female apparel; the Witness and his wife sugpeeting these things to have been stolen, secured the Prisoners on the fol lowing Monday when they called. for the. bundle. John Williams being called on for his defence, Stated that. he had.been applied:to. by his brother, i.vho'asked him if he knew where. he could, leave a bundle all night. He took it to the watchman's house—he knew nothing of the Manner by which his brother had obtained it. The, ocher Prisoner confirmed the defence of his brother, but gave no account how the prOperty came into his own possession. The Jury Acquitted John Williams, and found - William Williams Guilty. James' Johnson and John Shires were indiaed for a capital offence, in burglariously breaking and . entering the dwelling-house of Thomas.Starkie . and John Jennings, on the night of ,the sth of Odober, with intent to steal, and for stealing therein'a sif_ ver waiter, two silver bottle-stands k _a ladle, and a gold, watch, the property of John Jennings. In the course of - the evidence, it appeared, that the ; Gentlemen named in the Indictment - are Brewers, and in partnership—their premiSes are in Little Ptmeney.street, - -in the vicinity. of Golden square. Mr. Jennings ;is the managing. Partner, and_ resides in the dwellinghouse, which, forms a part of , the premises. The principal evidence was Mr. William Jennings, the nephew of Mr. John Jennings,' and who was in the house the night of the . robbet'y. It appeared, that on the night of the ' s th of Oetoher, the doors, -&c. of the ficue were duly secured, as usual ; the house-door was fastened by a spring-lock : Mr. William Jennings retired that night to bed about ten o'clock ; vet} , early on the morning of the 6th, he was awoke by an uncommon noise about the houSe, whiCh he did not regard as important at the time, but soon after, he was alarmed by a kind of crash, - which seemed within the house.--He immediately got up, and going down stairs softly, observed a glim mering light in the parlour; he could at the same time see that the house door was open—he crossed the hall,' and went out through the yard to the counting-house, where he called the private Watch_ man of the premises ' : he armed himself with a fire-poker, and proceeded towards the door of the house ; the private watchman accompanied him ; kesaw, two men coming out of the house, on which he struck violently at them with the poker; by some means, the watchman's light was extinguished at that moment. •On his striking, sonie plate was dropped by the men, who both rushed forward; one of them succeeded in . getting over the rails, the . other Mr. Jennings knocked down by anotier blow with the poker ; this man was the Prisoner Johnson; he tumbled off the steps, but got up and ran forward ; Mr. Jennings closely pursued, and while they were running he struck the Prisoner several blows with► the joker : he got_ through a wicker, through' which Mr. Jennings also followed ; he never lost sight of him, nor was he at any pe riod at more than ten yards distance from him, till he was .mei by a public .Watchman of trhe name .of Connel : there was a hat left on the spot where Johnson was knocked down ; another hat was also found in the . yard. The house, it apyeared, was inclosed from the street by a yard ; :n the house was bound an iron crow, it lay near a cupboard in which the plate was kept, and which- had been forced open: the house door, it appeared, had been forced, the impressions of - the crow were clearly perceptible, and the screws were wrenched. The silver waiter and the bottle-stands were found on the premises ; and early. in the morning the gold watch ;and the ladle were found in the street, very near the premises. On being questioned particularly on the follow ing points, Mr. William Jennings stated,, that the dwellingAouse is solely inhabited by the family of Mr. jobn Jennings, the expences of the house_ keeping solely defrayed by him, and also • the wages of the domestic servants ; in short, that it is considered as the sole property of Mr. Jennings. On these circumstances transpiring, the Counsel for the Prosecution expressed his feurs, that the charge of burglary or stealing in the dwelling_ house could not be proved, and merely proceeded _ against the Prisoners for the larceny. • Connel a Watchman , stated, that about two o'clock in the morning of the 6th, on going his rounds near the premises of Mr. Jennings, 'he heard a cry of, stop thief! and immediately after saw Mr. Jennings engaged in a scuffle with a man, who proved to be the Prisoner Johnson. Mr. Jena flings had a poker in his hand : after Johnson had got from him a little way, he, the Witness laid hold of him, and advancing, asked Mr. Jennings if he was the thief ; on which he answered yes, if he has a cut in his head. On examining by the lamp, the Witness observed the cuts in the Pri soner's head ; they found some articles of plate and other things within the premises ; there were two hats lying in the yard, and a handkerchiefone of these hats was afterwards, when produced at the Justice's, claimed by the Prisoner Johnson, and it was left with him., • Remington, a second Watchman, said, as he was calling the hour of two, near the premises of Mr. Jennings, he heard an uncommon noise at the wicker. gate ; immediately after the gate flew right open, and the prisoner Shires came out ; he followed him, and on laying hold of him by the collar, he appeared very much out of wind. He asked what business he had there ; to which no answer was made : he broke from his grasp ; but the Witness closely pursued him, and, as he said, henever lost sight of him till he was taken again, near a door, or gateway, at the bottom of Grange-court, Hopkins -street, where, with the assistanc of the other Watchmen who came up n liis springing his rattle, the. Prisoner was secu red. This Witness was strictly cross-examined by the - Prisoners' Counsel, as to the latter part of .his evi dence, but the Witness persisted in his original state ment. Two Watchmen, of the names of Swift and Kearney, corroborated','" in a great degree,- the ac count given by Remington, of the apprehension of Shires; and spoke as to the• finding of the gold Watch, and the silver laddle, which, it appeared, were picked up in the horse-way, in Little Nice ney-street, just by Grange.court, at 'about five o'clock in the morning. One of these Witnesses stated, !bat he saw Shires's hat in his hand, when he was apprehended. • Mr. Wm. Jennings was called up a second time, in order to identify the property, which he did, par ticularly the plate, most satisfaEtorily : with re sped to the watch, it was usually deposited, by his "Uncle, Mr. J. in a drawer, which had been opened that night, and he had every reason to -believe it was taken from thence. The Prisoner Johnson's defence consisted in some remarks upon some points of the evidence of one or. two of the Watchmen, who,'he asserted, had sworn differently when before. the Magistrate : those points were not held to be material, and farther, they ap peared, on reference, to be 'untrue in point of fad. Shires said, he knew nothing of the afEiir. . He .had been drinking in a house near St. George's Market, and was rather intoxicated ; he had stopped . at the gateway at the bottom of Grange -court, when he %yds stopped , by the Watchman, with whom he professed his willingness to go any where. He also remarked upon some alledged contradiaions in the' testimony of the Watchmen. Mr. Baron TFIOMPSON summed up the evidence, and ably charged the Jury upon the case. He de- scriind the indiarnent, which was so framed as to lay the house in question to be the dwelling-house of Thomas Starkie and John Jennings ; it was laid as their joint house, but which, on the explanation of Mr. William Jennings, .Whose spirit, activity, and resolution, his Lordship highly commended, .appeared not to be the case, and in consequence of tvhich mistake in framing the, indiament, a -point of which the PrisonerS had a right to avail them selves, the capital-part of the' charge could not - be supported. His Lordship made a variety of comments on the faEts of the Case, and observed that the Jury would consider Whether the second person observed by Mr. Jennings coining out of the house, and who had' escaped over-the rails, was not the Prisoner Shires. The Jury after conferring some time, gave their Verdi& in the technical shape, of Guilty of stealing the goods, but not in the dwelling house, and Ac. quitted them of the chaige of burglary. After ,the Verdia was.pronounced, Johnson said, that his fellow:prisoner ; Shires, was as,-innocent of the charge as the child unborn. On Mr. Jennings's quitting the \ Court he was called back at the instance of Mr. Sheriff At.,ax- ANDER, whn, as we could colleEt, politely invited that Gentleman to dine with the LORD MAYOR, 86c. above stairs, which invitation Mr. J. in very polite terms seemed to-decline.
