Capt. Cheethant swore td the desk produced by
Trott, as being the one he had missed on the 12th
of September. at Hatcheit's. He also identified vari-
ous ankles as his property, particularly a Johnson's
iiirtinegrs;. The attiring-desk was no ordinary
eequaintonce, having had ft for seven years.
There was also another mark upon it, with
which he was well acquainted, a piiture of Time
upon the inside of i!s lid.
The case baring closed on the part of the pro-
secution, the prisoner was called upon to state what-
ever he could allege in his defence. He appeared
In this part of the trial entirely to have lust his pow-
er and desire of entering into observations. The
indulgence, he said. granted by the Court yesterday,
did not • avail hint, as he was totally unable to pro-
cure the attend: ace of his material witness. At
present, he had only to say, that his unfortunate
ife I•sd dealt largely in second-hand clothes, for
v Fich sl•e paid fairly and honestly. It harrowed
s,ul to be brought to his present disgraceful
,• , !tion, after supporting an hcoest charater as a
tradesman in die City of Westminster for a num-
ber of years. He wished the world to know that if
he had h-en guilty of crimes, he had committed
them without either the lnowledge or participation
of. his nnhaiTy wife. Since the commencement of
his trial, he had looked about in vain to nod any
person whom he could produce to charadst. In
comequenc'e of his solitary conti•-.ertsent in a din.
goon in Cold Bath-fields, he was u :able to wiite to
any of hie friends, and he only then saw by 'ac-
sidearms person in C to wham he was known,
and upon whom 1* would take the liberty of calling.

The prisoner then appealed to the Court. k or-
der to have the nnelaimed property given to his
wife. Lord ELLERaoitouou to!d him the Court
would examine into the application, and or4ered
hitt to withdrew. assuring him that he was his owa

ing Last. The *hol. tribe of Levy, who were Prison-
ers upon this minion, pleaded in etcuse, that they
had not, by so doing. been guilty of breaking their
Sabbath ; ard.also stated. that they thought their
accuser had shown a partiality to others who had
also been aggressors, merely because they were
Christians. It did not appear. however, that
any others bu: Jews had ben guilty of the
offence charged ; but it was evident that sume of
them had been more attire than others on the
occasion alluded to. The Luso MAYOR, accord-
ingly, aelelled the greatest aggressors, and ordered
them to be fined in the sum of 20s. each; and
t! reatened them, if they ware again deeded in
committing a similar armee, they should be more
severely purished.
