OLD BAILEY. SEVENTH DAV‘--WEDNESDAY. SEPT. 21. William was indieled for stealing a (ran. tit); (451 h.) of Spanish wool, the property of Erna. • noel 1)e la 'Torre. _ _ It apr.'ared In evidence, that the clerk t.,f the Prosecutor discovered that the wool in the ware. h ouse was a lw a ys below the amount of the account sales, and short of the quantity sent from Spain ; the usual weight was zoolb. per bag of this species of Spanish wool, which was that of the finest bort, it being that of the best Leonesa wool, and much sUperior to that of Segovia. That in consequence of suspicions haVing fallen on the prisoner, who bad been employed in the Prosecutor's warehouse for abc,tit a twelvemonth, but recently discharged,. his lodgings were searched. The officer who came with the search.warr .I.t asked the prisOner, whether he had any Spanish wool ? He said he had not, but there were immediately found two bundles of ir, the one tied up in an apron, the rrther in an handker chief, and he said he did not know there was any there, for that he thought these bundles were cloaths tied up he was no dealer in 'Wool. He sold a pack of wool to a person of the name of Staunton, that was the wool in question, or rather he em ployed this person to provide him a ptirchaser of it, a Mr. Hughes, No. 30, Cloth Fair, woollen.draper, whobought — this . wool for five shillings a pound, when `the _:market wholesale price was 6s. 644 ... a p.nar ( hot time. Stmustnn hail, onepounti or hi , trouble, in procuring a purchaser. money was paid to the prisoner ON the day of the sale of the wool, which was the fifth of August. A.cheque on the banker, of the date of that day, for 171. of the money, and another for the following day for 251. part of the money being kept until the wool was weighed, for it was sold by sample, and the weight of the bulk was not known at the time of the sale. It appeared also, that when the prisoner came home from his maoter's warehouse he fre quently brought with him bundles and parcels, what they contained there was no evidence of, but he was in the habit of bringing hdme such bundles, so much so, that it excited the suspicion of one of the prisoner's neighbours ; who, when she saw a cart standing at the prisoner's door, went to him and ae. cused him of having stolen wool in that cart. He said he wished she had told him so before (what he meant by that was not explained) ; on which a per. son, who was with the prisoner, said he had bought it and paid for it, which was not true, for the wool was then in its transit from the house of the prisoner, which is in King's Rom], Islington, to the house of Mr. Hughes, Cloth Fair. The fact of the stealing was not brought home to the prisoner, nor could any one prove the precise quantity lost by the Prosecutor ; it only appeared that the deficiency in the bags was general, and that this was precisely the same sort of wool as that which was missing out of the Prosecutor's warehouse ; and also, that seve. rat pieces of bags, of . precisely the same kind as those in which this species of wool is constantly packed up in Spain, were found in the possession of the prisoner, but. the Spanish mark did not appear, the part where it should be was torn off.--When the prisoner was asked how he came by ,these bags, he said they were given to him by Mr. Jones, the foreman of the Prosecutor's warehouse. The wool which the prisoner had thus sold, was proved to have been unpacked wool. Mr. Kr,ow LYS, leading Counsel for the prisoner, contended, there was no evidence to go to the Jury'in this case : that the principle, and the binding prin. ciple of Law, was, that no felony could be imputed to any individual, before a felony was proved to have been .committed. Here no felony had been. proved to have been committed, for nobody swore that any wool was stolen out of the Prosecutor's warehouse ; it was only proved that the bags were lighter than appeared in the account sales ; that might be either owing to plunder in Spain, or in' the River,-.or somewhere before the goody were de. posited iu the Prosecutor's warehouse.—As-to the bags found in the prisoner's dwelling, he had said th:.r he received them of Mr. Jones, the foreman of the 'Prosecutor's warehouse, and that assertion the prosecutor was hound to admit robe true, because he had made it evidence by proving what the prisoner. said on that occasion ; for if one part of what a man says at one time be evidence, the rest is ; fur if any thing of this sort is proved against a man, the whole of it must betaken; nor was there any im. -propriety in this ttle, for if what the prisoner said was false, Jones might have been called to prove it to be false. Fur these reasons he submitted, that there was nothing against the prisoner to go to the Jury in this case, but that he was entitled to his acquittal at once. The COMMON SPRIEANT said, that perhaps it was not a very strong case, but he thought it ought to go to the Jury to be disposed of by them. Eleven respcdable persons appeared on behalf of the prisoner, and they gave him an excellent clia rader. The. Comstotst SERI/ANT summed up the evi. iktice:HThe Jury, after a short deliberation), found, gasper Renfidd was indieted fir stealing, on the 25th of July, four pairs of stocking's, three shirts, three shifts, and other articles, the property of James Gurney. The only Jirct evidence against the Prisoner was a boy bet v.een nine and ten years old, the son of the Prosecutor, who stated, that on t h e f ore . noon of the day laid in the indiCiment, the Prisoner came to his father's house, and seeing him, the Witness, he said, '' He came from Mrs. Meyrick's 4their wadter.woman) for the . things, which the boy gave hint, the articles specified in the indictment ; his father was out' at th.t time : the Prisoner said he should call again for the under-sheet. The boy, it appeared, had known something of the Prisoner before, he was a schoolfellow of his elder brother. When he had delivered up the clothes, he thought he had done wrong, and followed the boy to some dis. twice; the Prisoner observing alit., gave him a half penny to go back fur the sheet ; he did not, but at. tempted to. follow the Prisoner, hoWever he soon slid) a mistake.. On cross-examination, he said, he had been' formerly suspended fur mal.pradice, and did not make the communication until he had been dismissed a year for other miscondutt.: Thc. Inspeetor of the Post-Office said, tl:e Prisoner confessed that he had participated in the fraud, but denied the extent as stated by die last WitneSs. Mr. ALLEY, for the Prisoner, chiefly •insisted, that the Witness, Webster, was not worthy of cre dit, and that his story was' not confirmed. The Juty withdrew for a considerable time, and at eleven o'clock returned a verdid of Guilt,. SOUTH SEA DISCOVERIES. A very interesting chronological History of the Discoveries in the South Sea has lately been publish ed by Captain BURNEY, of the Navy. It would be difficult to find a Gentleman better qualified for such a Work than Captain BURNEY. He was, we believe, in every voyage with Captain COOK ; to great professional knowledge, he adds extensive ac quaintance with books, and he possesses, in a.very eminent degree, that impartiality, candour, and clearness of judgment, so necessary to, but so rarely found, in an historian. The Work is divided into twenty chapters. The first, which is introduftory, contains, a brief account of the Discoveries of CoLusteus, CABOT, CO TES, REAL, AMERICUS VESPUCIUS, JUAN DE SOLIS, and BAsco Ninitsr,a7, the first European who. saw the South Sea,. the discovery of which immediately provoked, or father. gave a new stimulus to an. eager desire`of finding aliassage to it from the Atlantic Ocean. In the, year r+ls, the King. of Spain order. ed JUAN. DE SOLIS to attempt a passage into the South Sea, and to the .Molueca Islands: but in Rio de la Plata, Sous quarrelled with the natives, and was killed, whereupon the ships returned to Spain. Soon after, when the Spaniards had begun to make settlements on the south coast of the Isthmus c i f Darien, they attempted to sail ffoin t h en c e to t h e Moluccas': but their vessels, being built of timber which was rendered uselesi by the worm in one month, were incapable of performing such a voyage. The second and third chapters contain the voyage of FERNANDO DE MAGIIELANES, a disgusted Por tuguese in the service of Spain, to whom was re served the honour of conducting the first 'European vessels in the South Sea. The advantages obtained to geography by the voyage of FERNANDO DE MACH P. LANES, are to be regarded as very important : he disAvered the li. mits of the Continent of America towards the ;Judi, and the communication of the Atlantic with the South Sea. His other discoveries are, the two islands Las Desventuradds, the islands Sapan, Ti nian, and Aguigan, of the Ladrones, and the Atehi. pelago of St. Lazarus, afterwards included in the name of the Philippine Islands. By the ship 1.71 Trinidad, under E!iP mosn, four islands were added to the group called the' Ladrones. In Europe, the discoveries made by the Maghe- lanes became the cause of much contention and dis pute. 'The new passage to the Indies was regarded by all the European nations, except Spain, as a common benefit. By Spain it was claimed as ex. elusive property. It was still believed in Europe, that there was an inlet to the South Sea, near the Isthinui• of Darien ; and in 154.2, a vessel was sent to attempt the supposed passage, which returned with a cargo of Indians, kidnapped in direa violation of the Em. peror's orders. A considerable number of other voyages to the South Sea were undertaken from Spain, Genoa, Portugal, and France, moot of which terminated without • making any-addition to the stock of geo graphical or nautical knowledge, or producing any thing but disappointment and loss to the projeaors of them. These are the subjeds of the 4th, .sthi.• 6th, and 7th chLpters. The Spaniards, discouraged by the dangers and distance of the voyage by the Southern extremities of America, and convinced that there was no other Western access to the South Sea, by navigation(un. less it should be in a high northern latitude), be gan to think of conducting the trade between Europe. and the Spice Islands, by transporting the ; good 3 by inland nievigation, or other carriage, across the narrow part of the land. They also turned their attention to the West Coast of the American• Con. tinent, which they explored Northward•and South ward, in search of seven cities, which after having long occupied a fabulous island, seem to have been now transplanted, by the imagination of the gold-. thirsty Spaniards, to the unknown West Coast of America. . . In the year 15'39 , , a.lylonk, who undertook, ac. cording to his own language, to advertise the In. clips ":in the 15powlstige, of our .Lbrd God in heaven, and of the Emperor," having got gem. of a people who had their temples covered . with gold, and all their household vessels made of it, and having even got a distant peep of Cevola, one .pf 'the seven cities, wherein gold and silv,er were more 'abundant than in Peru, CoxTss, the Conqueror of Mexi,co, sett YR A N . c ISC 9 DR th.L.O4 . to explore the Coast, who found no gold, but dis. covered, that Callornia, hitherto supposed* an iiland, was a part of the Continent. An Army and a Squa. tiron were afterwards sent by the. Viceroy MANDO. CA to toncinerthe golden cities, and returned with merited disappointment. The seventeenth. Chapter contains the despe_ rately.bold adventures of joHti AXNAM, the first Engli s h pl un d erer o f t h e Spanish treasures in the South Sea, and the. prototype of the buccaneers, who, if he had a commission, would have been ho. noured as a,Hero, but for acing without one, and being finally unsuccessful, was executed as a Pirate, PR/ 4 .E, from his success in carrying borne his plunder, and the circumstance of being the first Com: mander who began and accomplished a circuit of the globe,.. 'has acquired, everlasting fame. It is 'not supposed that he, any more than ANNAN!, had a written commission from Queen Et.tztta who, however,.,in the duplicity of her policy, gave hi m encourag*ent by words, which .she coUld after. wards interpret as she should find most convenient. Though there is no contemporary account of this celebrated voyage, which is at once satisfatriery Thomas Webster the accomplice, was called ; he stated that he was a. letter.carrier, and that he had received letters from the prisoner which he told him he had secreted in sorting on the Sundays. The prisoner, he added, dealt at his shop, and he kept an account in which he gave the prisoner credit for one. half of the produce of postage upon secreted , letters. On referring to his book, he stated the following sums as the half produce on the following dates : —Jan. 17, 11. 74 63.—Feb. r, t7s. !.—Feb.4. 8, 19s. 6a.—Feb. 6, 195. i Oth•-7-1 eb. 22, IS'S, 9d. — March 8, 11. 9s. 63.—March 22, I Bs. 4.3.—March 30, 14. i.—He had paid him five guineas, and four pounds,' in part discharge of these sums, and gave him credit for articles out o f his shop to make out the balance. He stated, that his distritt was Wood.strect, and when he had any letters out of his own distrkt he delivered them to the persons in whose distriti they were dire4qed, and he received a d e d u eti on i n hi s account for the amount of the posta ge . L etters somet i mes were m i s.sorted, and got into the hands of the wrong Carriers, and these letters passed as having got into his hands by LONDON: Printed by BrICIIA NAN Mq4ll.l.Atil, (ofßow.Street, Covent.

The Prisoner's father, who was described to be a reptitable Tradesman, as soon as he heard of the charge, in•a few days Act' surrendered his son for The Prisoner in his defence solemnly appealed to God for his innocence of the charge. He had never seen either the things or the boy who swore against him. Several Witnesses appeared to his charaaer. .The Jury not deeming the evidence sufficiently strong to implicate the Prisoner, pronounced him— Not Guilt;.. Mr. CommoN SIIRJRANT (who tried the case) ad. tnonished the Prisoner as to his future condud ; hoped he ,would take warning from his present escape. He was not perfeetly convinced of his in. nocence ; he liked not these appeals to the Supreme Being for the truth, which the party often knew to he false; it savoured'too much of the place whence the Prisoner had immediately come ; he lamented that the son of a reputable father should be seen in such a situation ; he hoped hereafter he would he careful of his condud, and profit by his father's example. John Simpson, of Coffee-house notoriety, was brought to the bar for the purpose of trial, when he addressed the Court and stated, that he was in. formed by one. , of his'friends'that 'nursling, that a person, a most material Witness in his behalf, was then out of the W:iy, and could not be found, he therefore had to beg the Court to suffer him to post. pone his trial until the next Sessions: Mr, COMMON SERJEANT informed the Prisoner such a proceeding could not be suffered on his bare verbal application. However, the Court would consent to his being remanded then, for the purpose of enabling him to prepare an Affidavit, which was the regular mode of stating the allegations, on which the Court may be applied to in order to postpone the trial. This, it was expeCted, he should pre sent . to-morrow morning, and the Court mould then judge whether the allegations contained sufli. cient grounds for its acceding to his application. The Prisoner then retired. Mary Hutchins, alias Gray, was charged with a larceny, in stealing a silver watch, value 2!. the property of Thomas Lee. The Jury found the Prisoner Guilty. FRAUD ON THE POST.OFFICE. IV;11;am Chalfont was on Tue3day indifted for that he, on the 17th of January last, being employ. ctl by the General Post in sorting and stamping letters, being an office of trust and confidence, did secrete several letters with intent to defraud, and thereby defrauding the Revenue of the amount of the postage on them. _ _ _ Mr. FT BLDtNG, leading Counsel for the prosecu. tion, stated, that this cause was one of the first im. pression, that is, it was , one of the first of the sort that had ever occurred.. Although there were se. veral Ads of Parliament peculiarly applying to the protedion of the Post-Office, yet there was not one which met the offence diredly. But, notwithstand. ing there was no particular Ad applying to the offence, yet, as it was a breach of duty in a Public Officer, by the common law of the land it was a misdemeanor, and if the Defendant were convided of it, he would be liable to such degree of punish. ment, within certain limits, as the Court might think proper to inflid. The Prisoner was a person who had been in the employ of the Post. Office, and one particular branch of his duty was to sort letters which arrived on a Sunday. The Foreign Mails usually arrived on a Sunday,. and by way of expe. diting thedelivery of the town letters on a Monday, the Prisoner was employed . to sort them on a Sun day. But though they were sorted on the Sunday, the account of them was not entered into the Post_ Office books until the Monday morning ; this gave soe Prisoner an opportunity of withdrawing as many as he pleased without the deficiency appear. ing. These ,letters thus withdr a wn by hi m were afterwards the next day delivered by him to an accomplice, another of the letter-carriers, who delivered them according to their address,.and received the postage, as though they had been re gularly issued by the Office, and the money thus fraudulently obtained they divided betwixt . them. This prance was continued for a lon g time, until about May last, the accomplice, who had been dis. missed 'for other causes, feeling compunction for his former conduct, disclosed the whole transaftion to the Post Master General. In consequence of this communication, the Prisoner was interrogated, and he confessed his share in the guilt. It fortu. nately happened that the accomplice kept a little shop, and in the books of his basiness had kept an account of all the money they had divided on this nefarious tsaffiic, so that they would be able to shew in a regular series the produce of the fraud. The, situaiion'dfthe Prisoner, and the nature of his duty beiog prOtred, by different witnesses from the Post.office, t anti correct, Captain Efate ry has, witb:great.judg. ment and diKrimination, compoSed a relation, ap- patently ;he most corredt everpubliihed, of the va., rtous events alit, wherein we fit d a rational account of the cereal-ins- perft)rmed by a Chief.of the Writ Coast of Amtrica, which was ridiculously exiliained to be a surrender of his territory to the English , DRAKE, after colleCting a great deal of plunder in the South sea, attempted to return home by the op posed North-west passage ; but after having coast- Ed the Westein shete of America, as far as 48° North, he gave op hopes of finding it, and ran for the Moluccas, where he took in a load of spices, and Proceeded home by the Cape of Gt;od of Hope.
