confessed that he had loaded the gun but that another man tired it.

1110 ST At'DAPIOPS AND DARING RUBBERY: On last
Saturday night a robbery, which for its audacity stands unparal-
leled, was practised in the house of a respectable trader of the name
of Holston, who is the proprietor of the Flower Pot public-house,
Brick-lane, Bethnal-green. and which took place between the
hours of nine anti twelve o'clock, at the time a society were sitting
lin the front room. The robbers, under pretence of belonging to
the society, went up stairs, and instead ct going into the room
where the society were ' had instruments about them that
forced their admission into air. Holston's bed-ream, from which
they took 76/. in sovereigns, 161. in silver, and 71. in copper, be-
sides a benefit society's club box, containing money, books, and
other articles of property to a considerable amount, as well. as
various article*, consisting of wearing apparel, c•tt cruet-stands,
decanters, necklaces, betels. &c. Information to the foregoing
effect having been lodged with the officers of M'otship-street Po.
lice-office, and from their known vigilaece, united with the acknow.
'edged respectability of Mr. Holston amongst his neighbours, link
doubt can be entertained of the speedy apprehension of the robbers.
ROBSERY PRETENTED.—About five o'clock on Satur-
day mprning, one Smith, a journeyman, in the employ or Mr.
Dickenson, tailor, Oreat Distaff lane, oo coming to hie* work ob.
served a suspicious looking fellow lurking about, who was 'dowdy
after joined by a second. " lino it gone past," said one. is No,

watch. The fellows quickly eyed him, and.uptm a :notion given,

off inta Link Distaff-lane, On Mr. Dickenson's coming down to
let him in, Smith told him what he had heard. The fellows, now
finding themselves obviously watched. drove off altogether. On the
claming of the warehouses for business, about an hour after, it was
discovered that the premises of Messrs. King and Uregson, Scotch
and Manchester warehousemen, MI, Friday. street, had been entered,
and live large black bags were found full of goods of various do.,
acriptions, all packed up ready for carrying away. As no force had
been used, susnicion fell on the portet. who does nut sleep on the
premises, and he was subsequently taken into custody ; but Arida,
though he thinks him very like one of the men he saw with the
cart, will not undertake to swear positively to his person. The

Mr. three wished to base hi+ superb painting exhibited in Mr.

Two ra and gliders roved that they had received orders to

atEnKaND r. KNIGHT AND LACY.

This wits ansetienbrotSgl;l4thePi;inf under certain sta-
tutes, against the defendants. for having piratically published cer-
tain engravings of Tlninell, Bunts and Probert.
A DOL rifts, in stating the case, olverved, that the plaintiff
was a very respectable engraver, and had likenesses of those cha-
racters when in Court at Hertford, in the month of December last.
Crible, of Holborn, wan 11r. illedlancrs agent here, and there was
every probability that the sale would have realised large profits for
Mr. .Med/and. All of a sodden, however, the demand ceased, and
Mr. Crible looked about to ascertain the cause, and he found that
Messrs. Knight and Lacey had published a history of the transac-
tions concerning Thurtle, Bunt, and Probert, to whichthey annexed
portraits taken from the labour of Mr. Median& and sold the book
for 2s. 31r. Mcdland, in taking the likeness of one of those per.
sons. gave him • peculiar tic of the cravat and appearance of the
shoulders, which he would prove to have been copied by the de.
Pendants. The next subject fur consideration would be the damage
sustained by the plaintiff, in having his hopes disappointed of mak-
, ing a considerable sum from the public eunosty to have possession
11 of- the portraits of these criminals. Every one knew that the por-
trait of Blood, who attempted to steal the Crown, was more an ob-
i inn of curiosity than that of Charles 11. the rightful owner of the
Crown. So it was in this case, and he hoped, that because the par-
ties were criminals, It would not be considered therefore that their
portraits were of no value. The reverse was the fact, for it so hap.
Ironed that public curiosity was often more excited by extraordinary
eriselnah titan of persons of exalted virtue. The plaintiff had his
rpeoperty stolen behind his back, and now claimed such fair compen-
sation aswould make amends for the loss he had sustained.

Me land, examined by Mr. Parreasoir—l so the son
of the plaintiff, 'DO is an engraver at Hertford. I was in Court at
Ithe trial, on the 4th Deeeinhor. on the first arrangement. I made
' a drawing of John Tburtell, Joseph Hunt, and %Vas. Probe t, as
'they appeared in Coon. They were in the dock, end I was at the
end of the Magistrates' bench: near where the Judge sirs. I gave
these eldrwings to my ftfickwlto engraved than ; I have the plates
and the ihiliressiono. The line of the sleeve is earned farther than
I sketched it, and also a tie to the neckeloth, u my father thought
it would produce a more picturesque effect.
Croat-examined—As Magistrates Clerk, I had an opportunity of
taking the sketches, end therefore did so. They were published
by Messrs. Crible, of Holborn.
Jos. -Erring, examined—l am in the employ of Messrs. Crible.
and published Pierce Kgan's account of the trial, from Knight and
Lacey, Paternoster-row, on the 14th January, 1824; on the 2'.ltb
January, 1824, I published a second account of the trial.
' Mr. Stoddart examined-1 ant an artist, and a member of the
, Royal Academy. Without doubt one is a copy of the other ; they
are so much alike, it is difficult to say which was the copy and
which the original.
Mr. Henry Mayer examined—l am an engraver, and looking at
i the plates, I am positive that the engraving in the book is a copy
of that by Mr. 31eilland. The value of the copyright of the en-
, graving bears no proportion to the price given for the engraving. I
would have given ten guineas each for the engravings, and bare
besides expected a very considerable profit.
.31r. Robert Crible—l am a printseller in High Holborn, and
was employed to sell these prints in December last. At first they
went very speedily off at Is. each, and all of a sudden the sale
ceased. 31r. Median! sent 300 to me, a few of which ere left.
They had a very brisk sale, which began and enders in a few days.
I would have given ten pounds each for them, and besides expect
to derive a considerable profit. I found the prints were pirated,
which accounted for the decline of the sale. _ . _

Cross-examined—l got the prints soon after the trial made a
noise in the newspapers; but I cannot tell when the last was sold.
George Thomas Jones examined—l ant the son of Ilr. Jones,
printseller, in Piccadilly. We sold prints of Thurtell, Hunt, and
Probert ; I think we lad three dozen, which sold very fast ; we
have one set remaining. When Knight and Laccy's trial came
out the demand ceased.
