CLEI?K.E.NIT ELL SESSIONS, SEPT. 19. Mark Dyke, a coachinan of the Rev. Mr. Gren field; of Scotland-yard, was indicted, according to the Statute of the-30th of thc King, for defrauding his master of 21. 75. tid. the difference, in value, be tween a load and. a ton 'of hay. It appeared from the evidence of several wit nesses, that Mr. Grenfield having:gone out of town in themonth of May last,,lett• the Prisoner a discre tionary power to order itfi:as. much hay and other artic.exas should be wanting in his absence.. Mr. Grenfield remained in the country for some time, and, on his realm, the Moner - gaVe in his account, In which, amongst other items, wthol. Is. lxi. stated to have been'paid for a ton of bay.y,. - . Mr. Grenfield being a little surprised =it the quantity capumed, iraae particular inquiry of 111 r. _Burroughs, the per son from whom the hay was bought, and he, an '.purchased i nto hi s b oo k s , f oun d t h at t h e P r i soner had purcha se d only a load from him, for which lie re ceived 41.145. It also appearing, froth the evidence Erf one of Mr. Burroughs' servants, that no more than a load had been - deliVered to the Prisoner, the gury,•after.a few moments consideration, found him • • The CHAIRMAN, then, after observing on the great risk that every man ran Ofbeing robbed of his property if servants, who were entrusted with it, to ere allowed to , plunder with impunity, sentenced the s , t ier to three months imprisonment, and to be pillored once at the top - of the Hayrriarket. David Spadbmiy, a turnpikekgak keeper, was. in :dieted under a lace Ad of Parliament, ..for extorting three shillings and sixpence from Miss Snell, for a coach and pair of .horses, when they, should have passed tree. ' • , It appeared from the evidence of Miss Snell, and her coachman, that the horses she drove under her carriage were hired for a year, and entitled to pass certain tUrripikcs, on spewing a yearly ticket. In the tnolath of Decenib.2rlast, when going through the gate near Battle-bridge, the Prisoner asked the Ctiacoma n whetbefthe horses he drove were hired.? ma, on the coachman answering in the affirmative, ased him for his yeirly ticket. The .coachman accordingly handed it to him, but the Prisoner - said it was not' a - proper .one, and demanded 3s. -6d. ; w 1 Ch, alter some sharp words, was paid by MisS Sri fll.- , The Learned Counsel, on the part of the Priso ner, encleatouted to excuse his client's conduct, by stating that this utience was committed against a late regulation, with Which the .Prisoner was not sufricintly acquainted; and also by,a4serting his general gobd character. _ _ - The jury, however, under the direEtion of the CuAißmax, foUnd .the Prisoner Guilty ; and he was sentenced by the" Court • to three months imprison ment. Mr. Schiel,"..a tradesman of respeaability,.was in dined for committing a violent assault on a Gentle rtal nthned Ciark. It appeared from o.le evidence or Mr. Clark and some of his family, that he had been indebted to the Defendant in a sum of 601. and not being pre pared to pay it as soon as he expedied, the Detend ant, with two Sheriff's' Officers, came into his sister in-law's house, in the neighbourhood of Smithfield, where he was, and seizing hold of him by the collar, drove him in such a violent manner against the wall, •that he continued ill for two or three days.— They then brought him to a lock-up-houle in Carey street, where he remained until he gave in On the part of the Defendant, the 'Officers who made the arrest, stated, that when Mr. Scltief went into the shop, the Prosecutor and . he shook hands; but as soon as Mr. Clark saw the Sheriff? Officers enter, he ,endeavoured to make away. The fendant :then, to prevent his escape, held him fast •ky the hand, but did not offer arty other violence. Alter theleariled Counsel on eitherside had been heard at great length, the Jury, by their verdi&, „pitted the Dctmdant. OLD BAILEY, SEPT. 18. Phomds Miller, and Matilda, his wife, were put 'to the bar, on an indianient, charging them with feloniously colouring base' coin, made to the like ness of good and current tnoney *of the realm, and 'uttering the same. Two Officers, Brown and Rogers, of , the Shad- AvellPolite Office, deposed, that,on the information 'of Elitabeth Alcock, they went to the lodging of the Prisoners on the tlth of August, whom they secured ; 'that -on examining their' fingers and thumbs, which they 'did immediately, they found Ahem quite green; and smelling strongly of• aqua Rogers said that he searched the woman, on whom he tbund nine bad shillings-and two 'bad hixpences ; also twelve shillings which were good -money. He then went up stairs and, opened a large trunk lying on the floor, iii which he foundforty half-crowns, and an equal number of dollars, all cO= . loured and counterfeit; together with six bad six , peaces, a scissars for clipping ; also pieces of leather lased for rubbing, sand-paper, and - pieces of stained etothy which were part of the apparatus necessary for completing the .work. Brown, the other Officer, examined the husband,. on whom he found one bad shilling, cream of tartar, a bottle of assafeetida, usually 'applied by colourers Of base coin in order to cotsntera& the smell of the aqua fortis ; and a quantity of blacking. Elizabeth Aicock said, that she had called on Mrs. Miller, tire Priioner,,a few days before she had been taken up, xvio told her, 'in -the course of conversa tion, that she had then a great deal nf money, but it . - • was not. completely finis - hed.—On being asked by, the Court what induced her to give information 'to ' the Police of the matter ? She 'replied, that she felt herself bound in conscience to detedi such villany, particularly as she had lately suffered by taking bad money. The_Clerk of the Mint -was then tailed up, who swore, after having examined the money found, in possession of the Prisoners,- that the . whole•waS tounterteit. Vr, Justice HEATH. summed up the evidence; and concluded with . observing, that although the Liini)ers had not been found in the a&. of colour-. ing 'or coining; . : yet 'that the circumstances which appeared could leave 'no doubt of their guilt:, The Learned Judge also added, 'that the 'Crime with which the Prisoners: were charged being treason, it was capital against the wife as 't‘lell as the husband. , The Jury consulted fora long time, and at' length returned a verdict--Not Guilty. Jahn Bird -was arraigned for stealing priVily shillings, the property of Nathaniel Searl. Jane Searl swore, that. having been at Sadlef's Wells„on the f2sth of August, with her children and friends, sitting in the oneshilling gallery, she 'put her hand to .her pocket; between eight and nine O'Clock, to get a shilling, when she heard money fall, as if out - of her pocket, and on p,utting her hand into her pocket found .it was gone., She also had her silk cloak in the same 'pocket. On fiarther examination of her pocket, she found that the bottom of it was cut; which made her look at the Prisoner, who sat on her right hand near the pocket. The Pri soner then seemed to sit uneasy, and soon went away. She told those about her what had passed, and added, that it must be the Prisoner, who robbed her. In a short time afterwards he returned to the Gallery, to a scat about, four benches distant from the Pro secutrix. Some persons called out' to her that there he was—on which she 'went to him and 'charged 'him with. stealing her Money, Which she deMand ed. The Prisoner did not confess or deny the fa6t, bnt first gave her ti.vp shillings, and on being pressed gave her two shillings and fivepence more, a six pence of which was one she had in her pocket, saying, that if she went down - with him- he would , give her the remainder. She then' charged him openly - with stealing her money, in consequence of which he was taken into custody. The. Officers proved the arrest. Sir Si toN LE BLANC, in charging the Jury, point ed out to them a nice distindion arising out of the testimony of theProsecutrix, whiCh they should have in mind in giving their verdia. The Learned Judge .said, that stealing privily froM the person- was a:capi tal crime; but in orderto make the offence come within the meaning of thelaw, it wasuecessary that the rrty robbed should not haVe the most remote know ledge or idea of the fait at the moment of perpetra tion ; if thecchnti.-ary were the case, then it could not be stealing prileily. This- being the law, it appeared therefore that the Prisoner could not come within its meaning, so as to be guilty of a capital offence ; for the Prosecutrix acknowledged, that in putting her hand to her pocket, she heard the sound of money fall, as out of her pocket, which was intimation or knowledge sufficient- to discharge the prisoner from the capital offence of stealing privily. The Jury accordingly in a few minutes found the Prisoner guilty of stealing, but not privily. Abraham Knight was found guilty of stealing four great coats from W. Smyth, value 10 guineas. Catharine N'Aaulty guilty of .stealing.l9 shawls, the property -of W. 'Harley. shopkeeper in Earl street, St. Giles, on the2Bth of Aug. Mary Woollen likewise was found guilty of steal ing one.guinea and a half in gold, with articles of Wearing apparel, from Sarah Chipperford.. The Jury, however, very humanely recommended her-10 mercy, on the ground of having received a good cha ra6ter, and this being her first offence. The details . of these causes were wholly uninteresting. on Barclay'andCo.sby .I>le:4l' , l""Fteddlfa'nf,Tettle, and Co. ,No doubt the fo - rgery was counnitted---,the question was by v,hpn - 1?-1:hd . Prisoner • succeded in proving an alibi at'the time it was uttered.—Nci Guilty. ' • . . Mary Jenkias, .a tuidal6-fged'vconthn, was in di6ted fir ;feloniously • breal!in - g'an4 entering the dwelling-116asc of Williatn'lModspr, on the night of the '23'd of July, and takitieWay t q .. potintls•of salt beef, a flannel petticoat, a wash-hand' bacon; dive pairs of silk. stockfrig§. /Intl .pairs of worsted ditto, one pair of shoes, a bottle of blacling, a brush, and the skeleton of an tainbrelia, his property. • • .It appeared in evidence I..l4i'`the' Prosecutor, shoemaker, lives at No. ip;Patliameni=street; About :I half past three in the Morning of the day laid in the indianient he was awoke by the Wkelniien spring ing their rattle's. He looked 'brit of the 'window, and saw the Prisoner in custody 'of the guardians of the night 5 the words " large liieee'of salt beef," catching his ears, and recolkitting lie 'hair such an article in his kitchen, raised his apprehensions. He descended from hisdorMitOry; and a general eclair cissemeht 'soon took plate. The Prisoner, it ap peared, had been observed by' one of the witnesses, David -Murray, • ari old North British veteran ; about.' three o'clock, ,standing near the. door of the Prosecutor's area.—He watched her—he 'ob served her go down the:area, and in.a.short time return. She laid something : on the steps of the next house, No. 13. He immediately advanced to the spot. On seeing the doughty veteran detertniuesti to explore the mystery, she ran; but, unlike Daphne, her speed availed her not : some other of the 11C)C- , turnal guardians arrested berflight. .On the steps above. mentioned was. found her culinary .prize, the piece of salt beet. She was , taken. to ,the watch-,. house, and on being searched, the parflphernatio laid in the indidment_ was, found in her pos session, with the exception of the bason and three pairs of worsted stockings, 'which had been deposited near the salt beef on: the 'steps of NO, 13. On searching 'her, :the five. pairs.. of snit 'stockings, which Were previously" in'• a wet state, were found tinder her chemise; the flannel pettidoat,' Which be longed to Mrs. Witidsor,, was. found upon her,' as was also a hand-Sail). On exarnining the lower part of the Prosectitor's house, it appeared, that'Where soner had entered two of the squares of glass were taken or broke away, and the framing ;one. All the articles had been deposited in 'the,Ritchen, and On - the greater part of them being produced, were iden tified as the property-of the Prosecutor. In her defence the Ptisoner merely denied the fruth of Murray the 'Watchman's narrative, and said ,she had found the piece of beef. - • Mr. REORDERc.; sunimed up the evidence; and charged the jury ,with his usual perspicuity and dis . crimination. He seemed to think the case complete ly made out, and the Jury had little x hesitation in finding the Prisoner Guilty--De4ttit. She stated her age to. be 42. Mr. PATRICK O'BRIEN, usually denominated the Irish Giant, died at his lodgings on the iiut,velis= road, Bristol, on the Ist inst. having fallen a sacrifice to a disease of the lungs, combined with . an affec tion of the liver, in the. 46th year of his age. His real name was Patrick Cotter; he was of obscure parentage in Kinsale, and by trade originally a'biick-: layer; but his uncommon size rendered him a mark for the avarice of a showman, who, fOr the payment of 501. per annum, obtained the liberty of exhibiting him three years in . Efigland. Not contented with his bargain; the chapman attempted to under-let the -liberty of sheaving him to another speculator, and poor Cotter, resisting this nefarious transa6tion, was saddled with a fictitious debt, and -thrown into 'a sponging house in Bristol. In this situation he was, happily fir him, observed by a Gentleman of the -City, who had some business to transact with the Sheriff's Officer. His simple demeanour and tienie distress , induced MT. W. to:make inquiries respe6ting him ;. and having reason to think that he was unjustly detained, -he very generously became his'bail, and ultimately so far investigated the affair, that be not only obtained for him his liberty, but freed him from all kind of obligations to serve his task-master any longer. • i.He was at this time 18, and retained to his last breath a most lively sense of the obligation conferred upon him when a stranger and in need ; an obligation which he manifested also by very honourable mention in his Wil.l. It' happened to be September when he:was liberated; and by the 'further assistance of his benethdor, he was enabled to set up for himself, in the fair then held in St. James'sf Success crowning his. undertaking, in three days, instead of being in -penury, he saw himself .possessed of 301. English money ! Let those who know the peasantry of Ireland,Jadge of his riches! He now commenced, and continued, a regular ex hibition of his person, until the two last years, when,. having realized an independence sufficient to keep a: carriage, and secure to 'him the . conveniencies of -life, he declined what . was exceedingly irksome to his feelings. He was nnoffending and amiable in his manners to his friends andacquaintanee,!of whom he had latterly rather a large-circle r as he was . neither verse to a cheerful glass nor: pleasaht company. He had naturally good sense; aki n . his mind was- not n'a I cultivated. He departed without the sniariest ap =parent pain or agony: He hak still living a mother and a few :distant relations-, for whom he — has made, very ample provision. To prevent any attempt to 'disturb his remains, of which he had the greatest horror,' a ,grave is-sunk to the depth .of twelve feet in the solid rock, and such precautions taken 11'3. effedually to render abortive either force or strata gem.

Charles Louis Languis' -was indieied for forging and uttering as true, knowing it to be forged, a cer tain Bill of Exchange for 2f:?1. purporting' to be drawn by, Ann Winter, 'on Mr. J. Savage, of Gray's-Inn lane, carpenter, with intent .to defraud J. Atkinson. The Prisoner live.d-as Clerk to Mr. Atkin;on, of Fal con-square, and in April last he asked his Master to discbunt him a bill. Afterwards, differences arose between the. Prisoner and his Master, when the Pri soner quitted his Master's service. When' the bill became due, Mr. Atkinson presented it at the house of Mr. Savage, who said it was not his acceptance. The attention of Mr. Atkinson was thus drawn more particularly to the bill,•and loOking at the body and the acceptance, and being particularly acquainted with .the hand-writing of the Prisoner, wh© had been his. Clerk, had no doubt it . was his, although it was written in a disguised hand. Two witnesses swore that. the acceptance was not of the hand writing of Mr. Savage, on which the Prisoner was found Guilty—Death. James IPestwOod was indi&ed for forging, and for uttering as true, knowing it to,be forged, a certain paper, purporting to be an order for the payment of a Sum of money from S. Feara, oft Messrs. Bond aod Co. for 1501. to be paid to John Williams, Esq. or bearer, with intent to defraud Messrs. Bond, and Co. The Prisoner went to Seagoe's Coffee-house, in Holborn, and desired the master of that house, that Many letter, direCied to J. Williams, should be left, that he might have it. He asked whether he could have a porter; he was answered•" Yes ;" they sent for a porter, and he came from Gray's Inn. The Prisoner gave the porter an order on the banking house of Messrs. Bond and cp. and desired him to .get cash for it. When this paper was produced, the forgery was instantly discovered. One or the part ners of the Banking-house returned with the porter .to Seagoe's Coffee-house, and on the porter pointing -to the Prisoner, the Gentleman attempted to secure him, but he rushed out, and, for a moment, escaped,. but was followed, pursued,:and taken. • •.The defence, was, that he received this order in -part ,payment of a debt due to him .by a person of the name of Cook, and that his resistance arose from his apprehension that they were going to arrest him for debt, he being in embarrassed circumstances.. Guilty, Death. Alexander JlNCenzie was indi&ed for forging- and uttering as true, knowing- it to be forged, a certain. 1- cheque for 251. 16s. upon Messrs.
