house of Captain James Heartiey White, and
stolen therein • large quantity of dollar., bank-
note*, silver, plate', wearing •pp►arel, &e. his
property.
It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor,
Captain White, his servant, and others, that on the•
*ld 'of April hi left London fur Portsmouth, taking
with him the property in question; on arriving at his
house it wit lodged in the parlour, where a tem-
porary bed was erected for the Captain; the room
had a bow-window, and was fronting the street, so
that any person might have seen the property, and
what was passing within. On Capt. White's awaking
next morning he found the room in the grea►est con.
Ninon, and his gold watch and seals which he haul
placed on the escrutoire, gone, together with the
other articles. The door, which shot by a spring, was
open, some handkerchiefs having got entangled un-
der it. 00 searching the house, the 'scullery window
was discovered to be open, through which the thieves
bad effected their entrance. An ovster-knife, which
was sworn to have bees' in the scullery on the family
going to bed, was found in the parlour, but for
whit purpose it was removed is not known. A fe-
male. who slept in the upper part of the house,
stated she heard a noise about one in the morning.
In consequence of information received, Captain
White, with two rAficers, on the 27th of April, re-
paired to Cashion, and while eittin~ in an Inn,
saw the Prisontr Thornton pass. He was imme-
diately secured, and on search being made, same
of the stolen articles wele found. They then went
to the barracks, and Smith and Brooks were taken
into custody. An extensive search was then made;
Galvin gave up the watch and seal., which it up-
;reared lie obtained from Smith ; and a large quan-
tity of the plate and uniforms were afterwards
found in the possession of Thornton, Brooks, and
Smith, against whom the evidence was quite clear ;
but it did not materially affect Walsh.
Mr. Justice BEST summed up the evidence with
his usual impartiality, and adverted to tile want of
substantial et idence against Welsh. His Lordship
also observed, it was for the Juty to consider
whether the proof of burglary had been made out
against Galvin, who might be viewed in the light
of a receiver.
The Jury, after a short consultation, pronounced
Thornton, Smith, and Brooks, guilty of burglary ;
Galvin guilty of receiving the watch, knowing it to
be stuleis ; and acquitted Walsh.
His Lordship then iu sit impres&re address, pass-
ed the awful sentence of Death on the three first
Prisoners. and sentenced Galvin to twelve mouths
imprisonment iu the /louse of Correction.

CASE OF MURDER.

[From a New York Paper of the 19th Jane.]

DEATH OP DOCTOR MADISON.
Last evening several vessels arrived in our pelt
from the Upper Lakes. By the schooner Superior,
Captain Keith, Me received • letter from Greew
Bay, dated May 20, 1821, from which we extract
the following, relating to the recent murder of Dr.
William S. Madison, of the United Stairs army.
" Dr. Madison left this place on Friday the 11th
instant, in company with the Chicago Expre►s, for
the purpose of visiting his wile and friends in
Kentucky. Ors Saturday, about 3 p.m. they
fell in with the murderer, an Indian, who travel-
led in company several tniles—he appeared very
friendly, and assisted the Doctor in taking Iris
baggage across swamps and difficult places, for
which the Doctor gave hint some bread and to-
bacco. About five p.m. they arrived at a small
ravine in the midst of r thicket of understood—
the Express crossed it • few yards in front of the
Doctor; the Indian was a short distance be-
hind him ; and as the Doctor was ascending the
hill, having crossed the ravine, the savage fired
at hint and he instantly fell from his horse. The
contents of the gun entered between.. the shoul-
ders, and from the Express we learn that the
Doctor was certain from the fir►t that his wound
was mortal. He immediately sent a Mill to this
place with the melancholy intelligence, and Dr.
Hall and Lieut. Dean, with eight or tell soldiers
set off with all possible speed to hia assistance. They
reached him on Monday, the 14th, in the afternoon,
but their friend survived only a few minutes after
their arrival.

" The remains of Dr. Madison were brought to
this place, and interred ou the 17th with the
honours due to his rank. Too much cannot be
said in relation to the merits of Dr. Madison; as a
physician and surgeon it is believed, in point of
talents, he had no superior in the army. The cir-
cumstances of his death are peculiarly melancholy.
He had been married but about a year and u half,
to an accompliard and amiable lady in Kentucky,
with whom he resided a short time, and then joiord
his regiment. He had obtained u furlough for the
express purpose of visiting his beloved wife and lit-
tle son (born during his absence), and was cruelly
murdered in the wilderness on the second day of
hos journey.
" I have now only to inform you that the mur-
derer, a Chippewa, has this day berii delivered up
to the commanding officer by the Indians of his
tribe. and is ironed and confined in the guard-house.
He has confessed the murder, hut can assign no
cause for the act—on the coml.:try, lie says the
whites have ever been his mends."
