Michael Dorm and Maws Farrell, trumpeters
in the tid (King's Own) Dragoons, were indicted
for rubbing •Mr. 1). H. Bushell, on the highway,
in the parish of St. Martin, on t►e February
last. The depositions of the witnesses we stated d t
the time the iirisohers were apprehended ; nothing
farther transpired at the trial. Mr. 13tis6eil not
being ahle to identify the persons of the ini.onris,
no proof whatever appeared to criminate Donis, and
what was adduced egrinst Farrell went only as to
the watch of which Mr. Bushell war robbed, and
was evidence of a nature which not being pure, was
to be received with doubt. The Recorder 111 con-
sequence directed the Jury to acquit Dorali, stat-
ing at the seine time that the evidence ag.iiiist Far-
rell could not justify o different verdict. The Jury
accordingly acquitted both the prisoners.

Doras was then tried on au indictment, charging
hint with assaulting Daniel Bentley, of Futdwich,
on the highway, in the parish of St. Mary North-
state, and taking from his person two half-crowns,
four shillings, a &c.
The evidence in this case r.ny circumstantial and
coucliisive. Bentley swore poNitivrly to the person
of the Prisoner, a• 1 the pen.kinte wa4 also Men-

The Jury, in coosepienee, without hesitation.
returned a verdict of Guilty,
Oil ben% brought up to receive sent•mce, the
• RacoonLa addressed the Prisoner in the following
impressive leuguage
• • " Alichael Durav—You have been found guilty
a the crime hid to your charge. The facts have
been proved, so as to admit uo doubt in the mind
or any one of your guilt. It is now, therefore, my
painful duty to pairs upon you the awful seuttnee
of the law. The ctrcuoistances which induced the
commission of this crime I know not ; but your iir.
ye •siiicv were not a part of them. Your profesvion
i. lionourab;e4 but that sword which was entrusted
to your hands for the protection of the community,
has beets turned aAriiiist them end yonrself.; and in-
stead of now shunting at this bar, having forfeited
your h&c you might have lived to resign it in defence
of your coulitry, and, if you had fallen, you would
et avast here tetleo with lionout. I know not if
you have parents Of family—w twiner you have
father or mother, wife or childien ; but, if you
lisve, they must feel for your ignon l 000 ous fate. One
eifellttlitillire only is in your Cupola; want it could
nut In, for the State has forint you provisions;
but the pistol you used was unloaded. On that
and on that alone, I feel it my duty to report your
ease to tits Msjevty—the fountain of surrey ; cau-
tioning you at the same time not to be buoyed up
by the hope of pardon, for bmig a soldier will tell
against you, because, from the means they posses*.
greater facility fur the commission of enure is af-
forded to them than to others. Prisoner, employ
therefore your time to repent—onskeyour peacewilis
•n offended God, arid if Royal surrey should not
arrest the course of the law, of which I can give
you no hopes—may your thoughts and prayers he
directed and made to Unit Providence, which alone
can pardon and forgive!"

The Mayon then putting on his hat, passed the
sentence of Death isi the usual form.
